Yeah, it is fixed, thank you!. Very nice shiny 😂.

I am hard stuck on NG+ 4 as my next goal is deep crypt and everything else I could do depends on that, but I have no idea how to get there after 20+ hours of trying. That seems to be purely a me issue, so I will wait for a friend or someone here on itch to reply because I am quite interested in all the spots I haven't been able to explore yet, you made a quite interesting game that compels exploration quite well.

Only the dev knows "exactly" how it works. But the TL;DR of alchemy is that components transmit energy and this energy gets amplified, reduced or reversed according to the materials involved. A combination of certain materials in certain order with certain energy values can create a alchemical art, and some of those can do transmutations. Some doll object data can only be obtained via transmutation and when extracted they will give you one of three items. Every other object data has a single item, but it's extremely rare to obtain it.

The amount of energy will influence the amount of synch + stat gain, and your chances of obtaining resistance/null traits.

Archetypes have special rules. I do not know how it all works.

There are special archetypes that override everything, and these are guaranteed to trigger on a synch if you met their condition. The most basic example being entropy archetype (which is frequently warned, remember?). There are sister archetypes if you met their conditions, like if you have enough str and end, and you synch, you have a chance to obtain lolita knight archetype if you didn't and you have less than 2 base types.

Evolution types have both special types, and non-guaranteed types, and the game does offer some hints towards some of them, but never nothing specific. "High INT" or "high END". I have only managed to obtain one of the advanced archetypes after 2 endings so... 🤷

Hey, maybe you're still around and see this comment. Where did you find the 0Y00 key?. I got the other 3 and yes, 00#0 requires access to the valley of styx and some air walking in the backstage, A000 needs a hint from a NPC you have spoken to and probably forgot for it to show up at all. I'm pretty hard stuck right now trying to find 00#0 to see if that lets me progress somewhere at all. I thought it would be deep in the crypt, but the guard keeps saying I need high bishop permission.

Anyone solved the fairy circle puzzle with the Shalem hint, or is the hint wrong?. I've tried 

And none work. I asked some friends good with riddles as well, but they got no idea either. Also, if anyone can generate a new link for the discord so others can visit and check whatever is posted there, it would be helpful. 

Don't want to email the dev saying the hint is wrong if it's just me unable to figure it out 😅.

You need to progress in the story to get more, and meet the same condition you meet the time you unlocked the feature at all (die). I got enough rituals already, but guessing formulas and guessing archetype conditions gets tiring really, really fast, specially given how cryptic some are. Creating new lvl 50 dolls and experimenting with different stats over and over and praying to hit the nail is a bit excessive.
I just hope some tool or book or unlockable later gives more meaningful hints to figuring out some of those.

I got a friend to play this part and he figured what issue I had. That being said, after 30 hours I finally understand how dollhouse alchemy works and I really hope there's some place later in the game that gives you bigger hints for alchemical arts because I discovered a couple of triples by chance, and even some like reinforced metal which require a certain amount of energy to even trigger, and there's no way I can figure out the rest by sheer luck or experimentation 🤣🤣

I am likely going to be forced to give up on the game 😞. I like the idea but it seems there is a riddle of sorts I cannot solve for the life of me between the crypt or Styx. I have stepped on every tile I can remember, pressed every wall and tried to walk over the air on every possible location. I tried to use the jar of memory in all places that I could imagine as well and nothing. At this point my only hope it's going to be to hope someone makes a guide so I can progress the main story.

If it matters at all, my archetype was the conspirator.
