I wonder how utterly confused poor Artemis is dealing with your pawns Cold.  I hope Lady Chase is keeping her somewhat sane.

p.s. I switched Arya and Dai back, only now I can't help thinking there's something "off" about Arya's face... 

Here's the numbers you posted for her, in case you never wrote them down elsewhere.

I have the same problem with Alynna all the time. Can't seem to recreate this stunner.

 Wow, what a looker! <3

Thanks. I did write them down, but I'll compare with those to make sure I wrote them down correctly. Does it matter which "base" body you start out with? (You know, when you select gender, they give you an option of about 10+ pre-made Arisens to start out from?) I'm wondering if I picked the wrong base body this time.

 As usual, Lady Chase tried to kill my Arisen.





Seriously, she just stared as my poor Solaria was devoured by a maneater. Cold, you need to watch your back, Lday Chase will kill you, ,and burn the body later.

My Pawn team is awesome. I can actually take out two wyverns out in just a few minutes with the power of my pawns. Artemis is a badass, jumping on a dragon's back too take out it's heart, Chase and Umbaroth (One of my frienfs pawns) are throwing spells left and right, and when they are in the air, I freaking Great Cannon them with my Mystic Knight set.


Waiting for my PS3 to cool down so I can continue playing, but I'm in a pretty good mood.

Me and my pawns also have a symbiotic relationship of sorts. I'm playing as Mystic Knight so I can Dragon-forge some warrior gear for Artemis. And I'm even thinking of sacrificing my level 3 weapon for her when I get to Daimon, instead of using for my Magic Archer or Assassin. (I know how the randomizing gear works now.)

Artemis has kinda become epic to a point where  I want her  to  have the best stuff. It started in my second playthrough Grigori fight, where as a Strider, she jumped out of Grigori's hand,  pounced on his heart, and began wailing on it.

Then in my first battle with Daimon ever, she took him out with constant murder attacks to  the head, still a Strider. 

When I turned her into a warrior, she took it to it like a fish to water, combining her jumping and stabbing skills and adaped them to become a master warrior, ranking up pretty quickly. She learned that jumping onto dragons about to fly can do wonders, and can smash up a griffin quickly.

She stared off as a graceful hunter into a destructive force of nature. And I love the fact that dragons are nothing to her now.

She never falls of cliffs, she'll take on a giant cylcops without blinking. And she's just plain badass.


She's somewhat arrogant, but always steadfast and loyal. She never gives up, and she actually uses curavities.

Sometimes the way the A.I. of the pawns interact with the player can create some very interesting creative perspectives.
 
She still have that obsessive hatred of Saurains still. I think Lady Chase taught her that. They really don't like Saurains.  I still have no idea why.

It doesn't matter which base body you use. If I picked any one of the base bodies and edited it with Shinon's numbers, I'd get Shinon. Base bodies are just there to get you started. If you wanted to create a hunchbacked old man, you'd probably want to start with the hunchbacked old man preset, because half the work is done for you, but you could still get the same results using the hulking man-tower to begin with.

@Apophis4321 - I am guessing that Chase is committing suicide more often than not. LOL! Sorry about that. XD You may want to release her properly and then retrieve her again. I purified a better Sorcerer Staff for her, and got a few more things DF'd and upgraded.

It's funny, some things she picks up on very quickly (when in the process of "teaching" her, using Carcharoth's guide). But other things.....yeesh. I think she has been secretly spending time with her twin brother. The "stupid" factor has increased tenfold. Heh! XD

Eh, she did help me blow up an Elder Ogre, so I'll cut her some slack. 

Anyways, I'm looking for all the memoirs of an Arisen, just so I can complete that quest. It's a bit annoying that I'm running around from a cursed dragon.

I had to leave one room, since i had to run from a cursed dragon. Guess I'll get the others ones for now.

@Apophis4321 - lol! Fair enough. As for the Cursed Dragon, even as a Mystic Knight, the best (and fastest) way to take it down, is to jump on its chest and wail on the purple crystals (heart). Seriously, it will go down quickly. Cursed dragons do mostly physical damage which can be negated by Steel Nut potions or Angel Periapts, and avoided by staying clinging to the body of the dragon. Also, it helps you avoid his poison breath.

@Coldwetn0se - Thanks for the gear you gave Laniel, very kind of you.

I found Valmiro on the beach and healed him. Then I found him near the encampment and had to give him two herbs.

Valmiro "I'm going to the Witchwoods now."
Aurelio "You're dead to me."

Headed back to Gran Soren since I failed to catch the Cassardis thief twice, I don't like to run.


Group shot on the way.


Laniel "I'll blind the ranger with magic in the face, that'll help her aim."

Fought a few undead and picked up a quest where I had to follow a knight leaving the castle and trail him. I now trust Madeline even less than before, negative trust.


I am the god of hellfire and bring you, fire.

Picked up a quest on the board at the Gran Soren Inn. Selene wants a Gransy Herb in the Witchwood. Huh? She's not dead? Ok. So off we go. But there's trouble on the road.


Laniel "Wait for the cyclops to cross the road."
Aurelio "Screw that."


Soren "Forget the sword, I'm gonna punch it in the face because I AM A MAN!"

The cyclops might have killed me last time I came through this area, but not today.

Aurelio "I level up by stabbing giant monsters in the brain."


Lucia "I'm not showing off, honest."<_<

Selene totally was dead though, and she's sending me on quests from beyond the grave to torment me. I managed to successfully escort some guy called Clementine (maybe) to a Blood Beach, despite having to navigate a massive area full of hobgoblins and cyclops. Now I've just got to get back to Gran Soren alive.

Going back to fight that cursed Dragon. Wish me luck.

Edit:  Ha!, the cursed dragon despawned. That's a neat trick to remember. Run out of room, run back in. Ha!

At his level though... he would probably be one-shot killed by a CD  I ran from them until about level 100...

Yes, this happens with all spawning "evil beasties," a.k.a. elder ogre, cursed dragon, garms, and Death.

[Apophis4321]

Yes! Got the forgoten hall memory thingy. Now all I have to do is get to the living armor boss fight, and get the last memory thing. YES!.

fixed.

Headed back to Gran Soren since I failed to catch the Cassardis thief twice, I don't like to run.

I vaguely remember having more success staying in one spot and waiting for him to run by. I don't do that quest anymore.

Picked up a quest on the board at the Gran Soren Inn. Selene wants a Gransy Herb in the Witchwood. Huh? She's not dead?

All NPCs respawn after about a week. If people die on escort quests, the quests will usually pop back up again when they respawn.

I managed to successfully escort some guy called Clementine (maybe) to a Blood Beach

Clemente? The priest? Huh, I've never gotten that one. Looking it up on the wiki, I've had none of the "scholarly pursuit" escort quests. I don't even know who the other two people are. Haslett? Ser Serdic? Muh?

Also, a fun fact about Bloodwater Beach: it's the only place you can pick up a Noonflower.. Granted, it's not that useful unless you reeeeeaally want that Solar Armor rarefied.

I wonder if people you escort can follow you to BBI...? I know they can jump from portcrystal to portcrystal, but BBI is different. Must try next time I'm on.

[Apophis4321]

Finally got all the memory stones. Yes!


Edit: Restarted at the checkpoint by accident. Lost the final memory stone as a result. Kinda annoyed.

@Apophis - congrats on your new Dragonwing Circlet, the most delicious piece of headgear in the game.

Oh, there are better items stat-wise, but... no, that thing stays on.

Ah, you edited. Well, you'll get it again.

When your Arisen's being a little sh!t and throws a strigoi at you.


Dai: lol Your faces though.
Arya: Master...

Also is it just me or does Quintin look like he's having some fun with his hammer there.

Yeah, I will. But hey, since I know where the last one is, I'm going to just grind some cursed dragons for now. I want to be fully armormed up for my date with Daimon.

Also my Arisen looks awesome now. Due to my constant collection of each area, I've gained some awesome looking golden armor pieces, plus with the Celestial Armor I got from Barroch, equals some freakin golden armor deal. Now I just need some golden leg pieces, plus a dragonwing circlet, and I'll look great.

I got a dragon circlet from Barroch. Seriously, he's the coolest NPC ever. 

Though another one would be great for a matching pair deal. Artemis misses her Dragonwing circlet.


Also, has anyone noticed... how weird the Quest boards are in Bitterblack? Because if I read the wiki right, the implication is that the awakned Daimon thing has been sending me on freaking fetch quest the entire time. I'm not joking. The quest is called  Heart of the Darkness, which basically says kill awaken Daimon.


But the description of the quest states that by going there, you'll face this 'me'. Which means the Awakened Daimon is challenging me personally

And it starts off, like a bunch of fetch quests in Bitterblack :  I call upon you, wanderer of abyss. I call upon you, lost and witless human  






So awakened Daimon has been screwing with me the entire time in Bitterblack? I'm going to enjoy killing him so much now.

Judging from Quintin's expression I think Dai's telling knock knock jokes again.


Dai: Get it? Gazers have lasers. Haha. Get it??
Quintin: .....

At least he's not the jerk that wants the 30 Macabre Sculptures.


I didn't have any escort quests up - Madeleine's had been there pretty much my entire playthrough and now it's gone. I figured I could just scare one up by loading Clemente up with some beast-steak, but the request board is still empty. Fudge.

I'd like to take this moment to mention that the lighting in early morning Cassardis is amazing. You still need a lantern (I never put mine away, ever) but it's gorgeous by the gate.



And now this.


I had to quickly go into the menu and unequip his frammies because they were in the way, that's why it gets wonky on his cape. He moved a smidge and wrecked my layers.

 So.. what exactly is the deal with Awakened Daimon. I watched a video of the battle to prepare for my battle, but the thing I don't  get is the dialogue? Is it a sequel set up or something?

I mean, think about it. We really never learn what is controlling the Awakened Daimon. It's like a mystery. Or has it been offically stated by someone yet, cause it's confusing me.

Whatever is in control of the Awakened Daimon is pretty knowledgable on everything, muttering about all the Sensechal crud, and definitely is freaking weird.

And the whole hone your spirit deal, what is the point of Awakened Daimon's dialogue.

And a broken order? Explain, developers, explain.

Do you guys have any ideas? 

[Shepenwepet]

Apophis4321 wrote...

Nothing is, as far as I know. From the wiki:

It is believed this evil entity was born out of the past Arisen's hatred
towards the destiny imposed to him. This monster nurtured from these
ill thoughts for centuries, feeding itself from its host as well as the
unfortunate Arisens who met their doom in this dungeon. The only thing
he needed to be free was someone powerful enough to separate him from
Daimon, allowing it to become an independent being. It is the reason why
Bitterblack island is still covered in a ominous shroud and the stench
of death continues to loom all over the place.

And the whole hone your spirit deal, what is the point of Awakened Daimon's dialogue.

Let's wait until BigEvil and Captain Crash finish the game, shall we?

[Apophis4321]

But the lore.. it's driving me nuts!
