just be horny so the heart appears, then it should let you choose.

oh, they asked last week, it's the 2 new fapping scenes (in your room)

just go fap (in the game~), i still need to add the few recent things to the guide

well... the answer is still the same, Caro decided it can be implemented before the desert tho, so presumably in the next few updates

Try checking your hidden saves folder: go to any folder and make sure hidden folders are displayed by clicking "view" -> "show" and check the option to display hidden folders. Now, to actually find the folder, it should be in "user" -> AppData -> Roaming -> RenPy -> Tvern_of_Spear-1 ("user" is whatever you set as your username for your pc), that has copies of the saves across all versions of tavern of spear, that's how you are able to delete a version and still find your saves when you download a newer one, but, more importantly, it should have a folder named "sync" inside, maybe it is not there and your pc cannot save your files in it? If it is not there, make one (make sure it is literally called "sync", no caps!), if it is there... delete it instead, it has given issues in some other cases, then try again and see if that solves it.

you should specify if you get some error or what. you can try using something to transfer data physically like a USB or SD, or a cloud like dropbox or google drive... or passing it all on your own telegram or some chat.

pretty much, at least for now

if i recall, he mentions a second tour but doesn't do anything like that after the first one during the war, regardless, it's not something you can leave behind and miss.

my guide has some more insightful strategy for the fights, but these are designed to be won with einar's full help:

- second floor, northwest room, einar can make a noxious brew to skip the kobolds fight, if you have >= 7 AGI

- he fills your soup flask in the kitchen in the east wing of the main floor (near to the where you found the potions)

- free bonfire kit bonus at the entrance

if the strategies in the guide aren't enough (which is possible, rng can be cruel, especially with the kobolds), you can quick save and quick load every turn to get favorable rng (attacks you can defend, crits, dodges...), but i did make it with low stats and pre-nerf (without skipping the kobolds, which were rng hell), so it is possible. i admit i did come up with a strategy to stall and fully heal in some cases with the nightstar sachet (dawnstar sachet bought from chet and powered up at the dragon statue) though, so not having that might make things almost impossible if you can't skip the kobolds and have low stats, given you lack potions too (unless you opt for the save-scumming i explained above).

yeah... the eye is also just a neat extra equip and that dragon statue is its own side thing: after asking frode (and assuming you know the dragon's name after chatting with him enough), ask witer how to pray and use his way at the statue. you can offer labrador tea, the storybook (if you showed king harald the prince badge, but i do NOT recommend exchanging this for an item to replenish the bull temple pool's power once), or upgrade your pocket watch and dawnstar sachet.

no route is "complete", Caro keeps updating the game while keeping in mind every route... in fact, Selye did get one or two things exclusive to his route for the most recent quests

i wrote the steps and showed the clickable spots here: https://itch.io/t/3934654/how-to-escape-from-prison

of course, some in the desert arc...

no problem~ and it sure helps against certain enemies, like electricity for machines and fire for arthropods, i don't think anything is planned in-game yet, but the guide does include a link to monster stats (except the latest few enemies) in the bestiary.

let thane die at the beginning to enter his route, then just spare him when you get the chance to

i mean, aside from what i suggested and wrote in the guide, you can quick save and quick load to replay every single turn as much as you'd like, so you always dodge or get critical hits

You either did not talk to Chet or missed him asking for 2 slime jewels (to deliver with "about the job", don't sell them!).

...You can also enable easy mode, if you have a save where you can access your room. but finding a strategy in normal mode is more fulfilling, my guide helps with those and shows the 3 ways Einar can help in the dungeon, the difficulty is based around him helping as much as he can tbh.

it just keeps your saves by having copies in your hidden appdata folder on your pc/mac. if you are on android, just don't delete the previous version.

no, but you can enable "skip unseen dialogue"... on pc at least, not sure how phones work

from my guide:

Not every option gives you an item, but some end up being very silly or interesting scenes that i warmly recommend checking out before actually collecting the item from the right guy (or load a save later), they are:

• dragon tears: Máng apparently has… no more tears to shed, the only other candidate is Hakan, but he apparently can’t cry either… despite our wolf playing foul, Witer has the perfect plan to get us some of those tears from him
• lizard saliva: for this, you can defeat any lizard rogue and forcibly take their saliva, or, if the lizard village still exists, buy some from the shopkeeper for 50 coins or ask Nauxus (i HIGHLY recommend that if you are dating him in your route, because phew…~)
• demon’s toenail: the demon guards at the entrance of the demon city have a very funny dialogue, but only the boss (the cerberus) will let you have one… in exchange for certain services~, you can even offer them again, if pleasing pleases you~ (but lewd choices will only amuse him and have you tease you, no further fun for now, paw lovers)

When you have everything, return to either Meko or Selye and let him craft the antispell rune (they both say they need one day, but going back at midnight is enough, not 24 hours).

the dungeon is designed around always having free soup refills and the bonfire kit buffs thanks to einar, and brewing the noxious bomb by having at least 7 AGI in the northwest room on the second floor to skip the first fight. there are many potions next to the kitchen on the main floor as well, if you haven't used them all already. 

most just unlock naturally as you progress, the only ones you (kinda) need to unlock being the honey cake requiring you to get the honey from Snow once the war arc is over and also visiting the boss in the demon city again to get coffee beans in his mini quest

ok, i tested the dungeon and figured out that watching asmund's scene (in the stop next to the bonfire) and then picking up his whistle in his room BUT finishing the dungeon without going down in the prison to blow the whistle will disable it forever.

it is a pretty specific sequence of actions, because not picking up the whistle at all will still allow you to do so after you finish the dungeon and go back in to explore more, and the event will work as intended. this also means you had at least 7 AGI to collect the jester badge in the top left section early.

i will report the bug on the discord, for now, you need to reload a save prior to defeating king harald (or restart the game)

then you haven't gone back to the prison and checked properly... (if the fight down there does not start, visit asmund's room in the east wing of the main floor). that will get you the knight badge and also drop a key for a door in the west wing, which has one for the last locked door in the east wing, then the rest should all be explorable in the west wing for the prince badge.

just use fire bombs on slimes in act 2 so they transform

this is intended for that character. again, if you could please consider reporting them in the appropriate channel

i'm seeing 300 by testing in 0.38, it must have been lowered at some point (maybe based on some variable), i'll point it out tomorrow. if you happen to see more, consider reporting them on our dedicated channel on discord, as doing so over here can get messy and covers new threads.

a little known typo

The dungeon is balanced around getting all the help Einar can give, including the noxious brew from the northwest room on the second floor if you have at least 7 AGI, that skips the annoying kobolds, so you can keep resources and the HP and MP bonuses from the bonfire kit (again, thanks to Einar for having infinite kits) to have an edge for the postulant and the sinner phases.

I am assuming you are playing 0.37, so no new skills, but that's fine, my guide was written before those, and i developed a strategy around stalling with defend+nightstar sachet and exploiting their holy weakness, here:

postulant boss fight: the “true” boss’ first phase has 800 HP and both good defense and attack power on all 3 moves, especially his defense-piercing one, with a bit of a weakness for the holy element (so holy fist) that players with low ATK can exploit to some extent; he is another reason i recommended the nightstar sachet, as it still somewhat possible to stall and heal, get a holy fist in every now and then, and heal to full HP and MP before dealing the final hit, keeping as many potions and soup as possible for the second phase, otherwise, it’s a straightforward battle where you attack and heal alternatively, or either defend to chance some stalling/normal attack if a skill is on cooldown and your HP and MP are high

sinner boss fight: he effectively is the postulant, but with higher stats overall and 1000 HP, which means THIS is where you gotta go all in with your main way to deal damage and use your bind up and all the potions and soup you managed to save up! While it is true that 2 out of his 3 moves are still guardable, his piercing one is so strong that stalling with the sachet is a bit too risky, so just deal and heal damage fast! (although one can always chance a guard when he needs to stall urgently)

If you don't have the sachet (you buy it from Chet and upgrade it by praying at the statue), i guess you'll have to rely on your items more and luck when defending to stall for holy fist or bind up, wolf stance might allow for a few more lucky dodges if you are not attacking physically.

In 0.38, one skill inflicts armor break and can be good for strong physical builds (albeit risky), while another lets you stall to recharge MP, but it leaves you open for a turn and has a 6 turns cooldown, works better with high MP builds.

If all else fails, save scumming is always an option: save in a quick save slot, play your turn, if you don't dodge, quick load and try again

The postulant and sinner had higher DEF and MDEF in early builds, while the kobold could spam his net every turn, Caro really goes hardcore sometimes lol.

idk what materials you are talking about...  i can only think of the 3 items for the ritual, but you have the eye already... i guess the flower on the second floor has an equip behind it?

check the telescope room on the second floor, the constellations are the answer

well... most chars that have top scenes can potentially have bottom scenes in the future and viceversa, hakan is clearly a dom, but even he has a sweet side and could very well let MC lead at some point.

thane has a repeatable scene after the war (in the "good ending" route) , it is a dialogue option, and then he also has a scene for the bathhouse, i wouldn't say you full on dom him, but it... should be good enough?

oh, i'd say axel wants to stay on top more, even if he kinda has his bottom moments as well, in a way, along with a couple of NPCs in quests later on... this game has a bit for everyone, so i'd say to just try to unlock them all, worst case you can skip the dialogue fast. (also good to see a tyrandaddy enjoyer~)

you can load a save before this to prep better, do certain tasks around to remove waves of guards from the exit or simply escape through the waterway south by turning the valves in the room next to it (you can use your lockpick if you can't find the key), there is an optional boss down there, but you can easily skip him. if you need details on every stop and route in the dungeon, my guide explains it well, but you can also ask here if needed.

because renpy keeps copies of your saves in your hidden appdata folder. go into any  folder, click on "view" and check the option to show hidden folders; now, your saves are gonna be in your "user" folder (whatever you called your pc): user -> AppData -> Roaming -> RenPy -> Tvern_of_Spear-1, delete everything, sync folder included (or just move them somewhere else, just your persistent save for the gallery, whatever, your call)

well, try downloading the game on your desktop and see if it automatically finds and shows your saves when you try to load (so no itch launcher), if it does, your saves should be safe... and you can probably just play like that, versions don't have to be kept for saves to transfer over, so it's not like you'll have dozens of gigabytes eaten by ToS.

after that, if you reaaally want to use the itch launcher, you can overwrite your saves and delete the build over there to see if a reinstall fixes it, but that's for later, try what i said above.

renpy should have another folder named like the game inside, the saves have the page number and position that indicate where they are on the load save screen, something like "24-6-LT1.save", at least on windows...

still, chances are renpy is smart enough to have saves somewhere even if you delete your current build and download another one

also, if you are on the itch launcher, doesn't the game prompt you to run it or open the saves folder whenever you wanna play?

i don't use mac or itch to update this game, you can always use the links on the itch page or the update channel in the discord if you are a patron. for the saves, windows usually saves in game -> saves, but both windows and mac also keep copies in a hidden folder... should be a "library" folder for you, but you need to tell your mac to show hidden folders first, then they are in library -> renpy -> tavern of spear (or a similar name)

try deleting everything (but keep your saves somewhere else just in case, even if it shouldn't even be necessary) and donwload the latest version, make sure it is the mac one

just... open it in a browser, i use google chrome, but they should all work.
