Can anybody give me a guide for Way Walkers here?? I’m kinda desperate. I’ve been trying all kinds of paths and still can’t do the things I want to do. Specifically, creating an energy ball to counter Clay in the 1st part and beating him in a duel at the 2nd one.
I’ve been scouring Google for information about a guide or walk-through and can only find random suggestions and solutions to certain situations. I don’t know if there’s a guide available on Way Walkers’ Discord, but I couldn’t find one on their Facebook page. It appears that a play-through guide doesn’t exist.
I really wish there was a feature that unlocked after a first play-through showing you what Stat or Relationship is effected for each choice, if no guide actually exists. I’m trying to go for Montage but I have no idea why my choices are giving me points there.
My best guess for your situation would be to have chosen to be an Energy Manipulator in the first game, chosen to have high Kubesh influence, and have joined the dueling club in order to have a high enough Strength & Combat skill to fight Clay in the 2nd game.
In the first game, I died at the end and lost all but 5 points in the Strength & Combat ability so I pretty much didn’t stand a chance against Clay in the 2nd story.
The most helpful play-through information I found was on TV Tropes, of all places:

To create an energy ball in the first game you have to skip orientation with Sem. You’ll learn about the theory of casting an energy ball from him 
The easiest way to beat Clay in the second game is to choose to be an energy manipulator and join the dueling club as a sorcerer in the first game. Talent and Montage of 40 should do it. Hope this helps!

thanks to you both!
Hello, I’ve noticed that there isn’t any guide to way walkers university on here. I have spent a long time trying to find the “best” path. This is the absolute best path with the most stat boosts I can find as well as being a predominantly exemplary talent (all the talents). A few caveats before we begin:
I haven’t read waywalkers 2
I do not have the Halloween dlc so I skip that
this path is mainly balancing all the ways, not just Montage
I try to get friendship with both Semryu and Jun as high as possible
always ask your angel questions whenever that comes up, it boosts Montage for free. there is one section that is a trap though, I will state it
This guide doesn’t go to the end chapter, there’s no stat boosts and it’s up to you
with that out of the way let’s begin!
- fur coated faces - this is a very optimized and specific path, with the Nor’wah race we will get +1 str we need
- thoughtful and a bit curious - all other options increase our red
- attempting to make sense of my odd visions - this option makes our talent strong, we need strong talent to get all the talents
- um, hello…voice? - talking to our angel guide always gives us montage boosts
- decided to listen more to the voice - more montage boosts
- choose gender -if you don’t subscribe to any gender you become pure ishim and get an achievement
- angel name
- …find true love? - it took me so long to finally decide on this, +5 to charm, we will get our charm up to 35 through small boosts so we can get more small boosts
- While I can’t speak to what - During the making of this guide I found that being neutral and then friendly to Jun gives us more stats and an achievement. Sweet
- Give him the extended version -other option is red
- Pick your name - Any will do Eirian, wynn, or arawn are especially good as they boost a lower stat. (I pick Cariad then later choose Desmoulein when they ask what god you want to follow, this is the most balanced approach. with all but creativity at or above 30)
- I am equally good at all of them - this is why we choose to make our talent strong, all talents are ours and we get an achievement
- either I find my Abilities can be over-whelming or say you don’t have any flaws - this boosts our red by 5, the alternative is to lower our faith by 15. In the words of Montage “all Ways are equal”. a little bit of evil is far better than that major stat hit.
- Loading and unloading gear - a decent strength boost we are going to need
- Nobody can be that good - dex boost and gives us another boost next choice
- I think s(he) really is this pure- dex, faith boost, and red lowered
- Yes!
- Magical and adventurous - more strength boosts, your tale will be boring however
- To hell with relying on abilities alone - final strength boost just in time, we need it to pass the next check
- Charge! -death boost for the stat check we want
- Yes, it shouldn’t have to suffer - karma boost, healing boost, and lowers red by 2, nice
- Any choice besides agreeing with them is fine
- Who do you mean by he? - dex and karma boost, a lot of the path i take is mainly taking 2 stat boosts over 1
- ask angel question and then Disgraceful acting like that - dex, faith boost and red -1, next best option would increase montage and creativity by 1 and lower red by 1. which is fine, creative just doesn’t seem important to boost and dex will be 35, all checks go by 5s so it might be better in the next game.
- I don’t know - Montage boost
- ask angel then take Semryu up on his offer - if you don’t you’ll wind up having to go with him anyway or he’ll hate you. i believe this also lowers an academic hit you get for skipping history class. Lots of reasons to go this path
- I suppose everything - biggest boost to his friendship
- Beleskie if you didn’t go with Cariad
- any answer
- hmm, sounds intresting - dex and cha boost, both are part of the 3 most important stats. dex, cha, and montage
- any answer
- all right sem, sounds fun
- great temple
- sure! - faith boost, the only option to get any boost
- find out what they want - faith and death boost
- diplomatic - montage, karma, and health boost
- Push semryu - dex and death boost, this is debatable but it lets us get to the 35 dex path. Also you could throw your own energy ball for an achievement, however no stat boosts come of it.
- any option is fine, i go with you’re probably right
- best friend (or more?)
- any option
- any option (i go with not worried)
- well i tend to enjoy
- thanks for reminding me - academic boost, taking notes is good for you
- any option
- ask your angel their thoughts and then say alright sem
- any option
- any option
- I got…caught up - very, very hard check to pass but we are able to
- WARNING this is the trap not at all angel. I’m thrilled to be here - do not ask angel anything beforehand. montage boost, death boost, lower red
- Master Simon might be a teacher - death boost, montage boost, and academic boost
- invite sem if you want, doesn’t matter
- the two of them are such a cute couple - montage and charm boost
- any option
- Sure, why not - have to be very careful here, i will show you the way
- a subconscious suggestion
- a little bit nicer - this is the best way, a little morally dubious but it makes Jun have a higher relationship with us. the only option that’s positive, otherwise nothing happens or you get caught which is very bad.
- I’ve no reason to lie - any option is fine but you really don’t
- any option
- any option
- Club time, pick up jun and sem if you want. doesn’t matter. what does matter is that you choose the dueling club and by Montage do not choose not to join a club, you’ll be missing out on so many stat boosts.
- choose battle mage
- choose axe for achievement
- a new opponent needs to be studied -karma boost
- no, I want him to make the first move -dex and talent boost (if you attack you get a str and death boost). being a battle mage gets you a ton of boosts. charm, dex, talent and str
- Halloween dlc
- almost the final boost of the game. choose either psychology or just let him eat it. I choose psychology as letting him eat it just sounds too red.
- I can heal him with Ability! Maybe. - boost to healing and talent, you will fail this as it’s nearly impossible unless you go a very specific build.
- of course, I will, Sem
- Semryu has done most of the research
- Agreeing with semryu completely. as a united front - final boost and it’s a beautiful one. boost to charm, dex, and montage. the 3 most important stats
- The pair of you might not always - finally this is a boost to Jun friendship with no downsides
Final Stats: Montage: 47 Rosin: 46 Kubesh: 32 Ulic: 31 Feator: 30 Beleskie: 36 Rhean: 35 Bree: 25 Turin: 32 Desmoulin:30 Angani: 30 The RED: 25. Now that’s pretty balanced
Edit: while playing through I notice that one of the endings Jun breaks off our friendship if you completely follow this guide. This can be fixed simply by saying, Honestly I find his brashness a bit abrasive instead of I don’t know. This will lower our Montage by 1 but it will keep our friendship of Jun.

Hello again, I’m back after reading Waywalkers 2. The second book has a more defined path, one that is marked by finding information regarding illyan. This book has a check that is a first for me, I’ve never seen any COG or Hosted game that required you to fail the stat check. So we are going to have to fix the first guide a little bit. That being said the first guide is great if you want to do anything other than going this specific route. All that is required is you to pick Talking with Lady Xeni and you’ll be pretty much set with Montage at 50. Now then I’m going to rant a little bit in the next paragraph, feel free to skip.
So the first book made dex high priority because the canon character Dwynn was a dex build. Dwynn is a preloaded character in the second book and shows the path he took. And I’m going to say, my Montage this character is so terrible. He ends up dying and getting a dex injury…a dex build, getting an injury that destroys your dex, why is this guy canon? Anyway with this information you can throw dex being high priority away, Montage is back to being the best stat. with Montage at 50 you can pass pretty much anything, Karma or Int being at 40 is also important to have high grades…which still isn’t implemented yet, probably in the third book.
OK, with that rant out of the way let’s get started. So, before we do anything we will need to fix the first guide a bit. Ignore the edit, Jun breaking our friendship is actually beneficial and gets us more stats. We can be their friend again going a certain path. (is it me or are we really hot and cold with Jun 
). So instead of saying um, hello…voice? we instead are going to to say wait, am I hearing voices? followed by Decided to consult this will lower our Montage by a lot, we need it to fail that specific stat check. Continue asking ur angel guide questions when it pops up but do not ask them during history class. When Sem brings up the topic of what to do for the history project just say alright sem. this will lower our montage a little bit more and should end with Montage at 36. This is a very specific number, we are getting our stat as close to the check as possible but not hitting it. Finally, during the dueling club, just straight up go defensive fighting, don’t say a new opponent needs to be studied. This will lower our Karma by 1, which is also neccesary to fail the check. OK, time to reveal the true path to go to at the end chapter. Follow Sem to talk to illyan, doesn’t matter who talks to her, believe her and free her from her chains. with our talent being so high we can free her and this doesn’t kill us and sets us on the illyan path. Now onto the actual walkthrough.
- Starting off with a language class. I pick Lu’shun, it doesn’t matter in this book. Maybe the next. All I know is Lu’shun has a named character attached to it and our friends know Clan (Sem) and Casfeildian (Kess)
- Energy Manipulation - This route lets our academics go up a little higher, also our physical stats will be lower than our mental stats so we possibly can boost them in the next book.
- Studying! - this gets us more academics and int +5, I believe this is the best choice because our karma will go up insanely high in this book. Also by boosting our int quite a bit we will have better grades while being able to choose a certain option that will give us one extra stat. I know, I’m crazy to go certain options for a meaningless extra stat.
- Ooh boy, this is a hard choice. Honestly this is really up to you. I choose ghost hunting, as it’s the only choice that boosts our academics. Being creative also is a good choice as we can finally get creativity to 30. We will have to see in the next book.
- It’s tearing me apart inside, too. - this is why we choose to have Jun break off our friendship. +2 to montage and +2 to healing and compassion. Ironically we do this in the least compassionate way.
- Yes, angel. I’ve got to stop this! - for the love of Montage pick this choice. So many benefits. +1 montage, -1 red, +1 faith, +1 healing, +1 dex. this is also why we go with 36 montage in the first book. these previous 2 choices are the choices we have to take to get good stats. totalling +3 montage, our montage is now 39. just under the 40 for passing the stat check.
- Tell them rationally yet firmly - this has the most stat boosts. I know everyone wants to beat up Clay but that option just increases red by 2 and strength by 1.
- Any option
- That’s a dangerous line of thinking - +2 to faith and -2 to red, best option here. Well, not entirely true.
- I choose to use precog (I mean we have it so why not use it) and then say Of course, Sem. We have 0 intention of keeping our promise but the other choice makes Sem our enemy.
- Might as well get up and wake - this is a specific path we are taking to make Jun our friend again
- Is there anything I can do for you? - only option for Jun to open up and tell us about their nightmares. Asking if they want to talk about them works too but delayed a bit.
- I do understand Jun
- …thoroughly concerned - most stat boosts. +2 healing and +2 faith
- Offer to help Jun - now Jun is our friend again. Also we get an achievement. Don’t worry about Sem, he won’t care. This path gets us +10 karma! (eventually) holy crap, what a glorious path.
- either alright I’ll go or yes, of course i’ll go - Don’t ask your angel guide, we want to fail our montage check remember?
- Doesn’t matter
- Doesn’t matter
- Doesn’t matter? - with our monster of a character all these will pass. I choose telekenisis as that’s the only thing that’ll effect him
- I try to draw upon - here it is, the stat check we have to fail. This is the option with the highest allowance for a check. other options will freaking pass you if your montage is even at 35. We get an achievement for this pain though. There might be a better way than killing our montage by 8 points and our karma by 1 but from what I’ve seen we’d also have to ignore the best stat increase options for this book.
- Any option
- Time for the winter ball. The option I go with is debatable. Do not worry about not choosing a date this section. You will have another chance at the winter ball
- I’m desirable enough on my own
- Yes, Semryu
- Well, I could always ‘bump’ - dex +2 and later str +2, talent +2, death +1, dex +1. I believe this is the path with the most stats. While trying to get Sem to ask us on a date he instead trains us in dueling (even more reasons to join the dueling club, nice). It’s pretty funny tbh
- Of course! Leave it to me - +2 charm and +1 montage. This is also debatable. Saying “seriously Jun?” will get montage +1 and karma +1. which will negate us needing int. but like I said, that 1 extra stat. Going for “How about this” will increase our healing and dex by 1, but it is seriously not needed
- I want to look my best - +1 to charm, could go dressing up is fun for +1 creative. either or. final stats with charm choice will have our charm at 39.
- Doesn’t matter? - if you choose jun, after a long path, saying “you know what, Jun? Don’t worry” will get you an achievement. (since we are going solo at the start, outfit will not matter)
- This section is entirely up to you. Tell sem you were hoping he was going to ask him to date him or go to the dance floor to find someone to pick up. Shelly if you like girls and Sem if you like boys are a good option. Shelly doesn’t care if you flake on her to do stuff with Sem or study. Sem gives you a bit more lore if you go with him. But it’s entirely up to you. Giving a guide on each of their sections would be exhausting. With both guides you are able to pick up anyone you want.
- We pick back up after you get questioned
- Do nothing in particular - +2 to death.
- Decide if you want to keep your date or not (why wouldn’t you?)
- Wave Owen over
- get rid of it myself
- shoot it with an energy ball for an achievement
- Yes, and I do
- A charm is a magical item
- Focus on Mind - this gives us +5 int. we are taking this cause we didn’t go the karma choice. other options give us +5 charm or +5 dex. I think this path is pretty balanced as our dex gets super high and our charm gets near 40
- Sit with your dang date - why would you not?
- I do! I raise my hand - academic bonuses that we will pass cause we are so dang talented
- Raise my hand and answer - academic bonus
- talk to Simon
- This section, I honestly have no clue what the correct path is. Going to the zoo gets us more academic bonuses, going with Sem let’s us see a museum that might be important in the next book. I go with Sem. I don’t know if that’s right or not. We will skip this section for now. We could get bonuses if we go with the zoo and Jun or Sem were our enemies, but we took the path of friendship so that’s a no.
- Now we choose to go on a date or study. if you choose study you get more academic credit. This is completely up to you. We should pass history class. (the check is either int or karma being 40)
- Any option
- Oh, Semryu, that’s brillant - +3 red but also +5 dex. this is the path we want to go down anyway might as well get the biggest bonuses for it
- Bookshelves -illyan’s research is in there
- Jun, I need you to try - this is the reason why we fail the stat check. Jun is able to get answers outta Simon because of it
- I think any option is fine - with our monster of a character we should be able to pass any of those stat checks. I’m not sure
- Change tactics
- Anonymously alert the tar’ka-besh - this is the option with the most stat increases, also lowers red. Sorry Sem for calling the cops on you.
And that’s it I believe. Sorry for skipping a lot of sections. Final stats: Montage: 40 Rosin: 50 Kubesh: 35 Ulic: 42 Feator: 39 Beleskie: 39 Rhean: 46 Bree: 25 Turin: 41 Desmoulein: 35 Angani: 37 The RED: 23
I feel sorry for Bree still being the utterly useless goddess
