Feedback pt5:

-> I feel quite stuck at the moment. There is probably paths I've not fully explored, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.

-> Not sure what Master Time actually does. I'm at 63/200, and it doesn't seem to do anything.

-> I barely managed to defeat Snappy as Bat. Beyond it, I think this area is bugged... or this is where Chapter 3 starts. Regardless, either breaking the grate or reverting to form, just results in me ending up at the Witch.

-> I did manage to figure out how to get the Goblin unlock, Ogre. Which really seems like the worst of the three new classes.

-> I have not been able to do much of anything in the Soul section. The adventurers kick my ass and the heretics obliterate my spirit.

-> So in terms of weapons, Sword is best if you don't take Goblin and don't care to become a Vampire. If you take Goblin, Carapace dagger is best, but its a PITA to get through the centepede hole to grab it. Otherwise, silver dagger is for the bat. But oddly enough all of them are physical damage attacks.

-> I still haven't found any keys, or beat any of the Arena fights, despite heavily investing in Werewolf, Vampire and Ogre upgrades.

-> There are a lot of areas where I feel like I'm missing something. Like I found a big boulder that I blew up with goblin bombs, but then need 2500 blood, and the highest blood I've ever gotten to with various boosts found in places was 2300.

-> I still haven't managed to do stuff in the Snappy itch.io image on the main page, and get my Acid Spit to 39 damage; its still at 9.

-> I'm going to probably take a break for a few days, while I clean up my notes on each path, and see if there is an "ideal" path to follow that might get me powerful enough to take on first arena fight.

Feedback pt6:

-> I have given up and won't be playing this further.

-> I have almost all the Vampire, Werewolf, and Ogre upgrades, and I'm not progressing at all. Master time is at 90/200 and doesn't appear to do anything.

-> I cannot defeat any Arena fights, from any of the doors.

-> I cannot defeat the adventuring party, to unlock 4th class.

-> I cannot open any of the Runic Doors.

-> I've thoroughly explored each area as both Good/Evil, with each class, and I'm not seeing anything special.

-> I have no idea how to progress further. I checked online, found a post on a subreddit mentioning a few things that I've not uncovered. Something about Unholy Blood, a grate to find a Goblin Tinker, and a way that you can actually use the Meteoric Hammer.

=====

I wish you the best of luck with the project, but I am now so disgusted with the game, that I may not ever play it again. I spent so much time trying to find a way to progress and got nothing to show for it.

If you want my list of suggestions, I'll provide them, otherwise, I'm out of here.

Hi, OP here. Thanks for taking 2 full days to play the game and ventured so far. Most players who got stuck eventually found their way through by referring to the same subreddit (they missed out one or two things). At your current progression, you should be already able to beat early arena stages to unlock new skills, then finally take on soul path to unlock 4th class.

Alright, well, I'll give it another whirl later today and try out an arena fight.

As for suggestions, I've put them together in a text file for easier reading.

Opponents in the arena is random, you can make a save before going in, and retry until you get the one you want to fight with.

Nope, stuck again.

Defeated skeleton group, got wolf auto consume. Defeated goblin group, got goblin bigger blast.

Couldn't beat spectral witch or lightning lizard.

Both of these upgrades although "nice" aren't sufficient to really help me clear content. Goblin bombs still suck and the wolf just isn't as good a combat unit as bat. Also you can't dismember arena challengers, so you get no real benefit as being a wolf.

Found skeleton group 6 times and goblin group 3 times. If there is other tier 1 groups of foes, I'm not finding them.

I feel better now that I killed at least the first tier of arena, but back to being hopelessly stuck, so yeah.

It is an interesting game, but not sure I'll play the current build further. Being hopelessly stuck in a video game sucks.

EDIT: I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I just don't know what, and at this point, I don't really care.

Main issues I seem to have is:

-> Cannot defeat Black Knight, Heretics, or Adventurer Party.

-> Cannot find Goblin Tinkerer, and the subreddit doesn't mention anything on where to find them.

-> Don't ever have enough Sanity or Blood to defeat 2nd Tier Arena fights. Have no idea how to increase Sanity/Blood higher.

-> The first chapter I liked way more. It was clear on how to progress. Here, I have no idea how to progress and I'm frankly sick and tired of feeling like the solution is "right around the corner", but I can't find it. Maybe chapter 2 isn't for me, and I should just give up permanently.
