All Endings

To quote the developer (Winter Wolves) from Steam:

A little more help for the endings! There are three events that determine all the endings:
– if you trust tobias or not
– if you tell your love interest about “the plan” or not
– if Apolimesho is present or not

Start at the dialogue between Nessa and Tobias in Chapter 10: Answers (once you made it this far, no prior decisions matter).

These are the 3 decision points

Don’t Believe

Home Sweet Home = Don’t Believe + Tell + Tell Apolimesho

Home Sweet Home = Don’t Believe + Lie + Tell Apolimesho

Final Illusion = Don’t Believe + Lie + Don’t Tell Apolimesho

Secret Agents = Don’t Believe + Tell + Don’t Tell Apolimesho

Believe

Sweet Revenge = Believe + Tell + Tell Apolimesho

Sweet Revenge = Believe + Lie + Tell Apolimesho

Last Stand = Believe + Lie + Don’t Tell Apolimesho

For Eternity = Believe + Tell + Don’t Tell Apolimesho

The All-Seeing God Achievement = Unlock all other endings

Nadja’s Poledance
A New Beautiful Day
Evelyn at the Window

Achieve these by choosing the best options for each character

**GAME SPOILERS** Mysteries Uncovered

All found through various dialogues with characters

Who killed the 3 students?

Answer: Thomas (aka Bhorg). Samael had caught up to the 3 teenagers as they tried to reach the temple, but they aggressively condemned him for keeping such a dangerous creature in his basement, threatening him. Gilas the male wanted to attack Bhorg and kill him, but Samael tried to stop them saying that Bhorg is not a danger. Gilas cast a spell which Samael blocked with his armor, but it made Bhorg mad that Samael was attacked, so Bhorg killed all 3 teenagers. Samael was taken aback by this vicious reaction. Even if he meant it in defense of Samael, Bhorg was, at his core, a beast capable of inflicting much harm. The 3 bodies were never found because Samael tossed them into the river.

Who killed Hereboros?

Answer: Gus, Tara’s brother, but by accident. He had heard a commotion while outside the city walls, and rode towards it thinking it was bandits. Instead, it was Samael being attacked by Hereboros, Gilas’s father and a powerful mage. Gus jumped in to help his Captain who gave Gus his enchanted shield (a wedding gift from Martha, Samael’s elf wife). Just as the mage sent a spell, Gus raised the shield which deflected the spell right back at the caster. He died, and they threw the body in the water. That’s why Gus had not been so well. It was an accident, but he’d still killed a very important and powerful man.

Who killed Gronimir the merchant?

Answer: Nadja the dancer, Cynthia’s mother. In order to buy the The House of Hands, Nadja had to take out a large loan from several investors the biggest of whom was Gronimir who was very influential with the ear of the town assembly… and under the table, too. He started blackmailing Nadja, demanding the money back. The night he died, he raped Nadja, but didn’t intend to stop there because he wanted Cynthia, too. Nadja killed him with a special spell called Invisible Daggers and staged the blood outside the window.

Who and what is Bhorg?

Answer: Bhorg (aka Thomas) is Evelyn’s half-brother. Martha, Evelyn’s elven mother had disobeyed her husband Samael during the Orc War and gone outside the city gates to gather herbs. Samael raced out to find her, but it was too late as she’d been raped by an Orc. While normally Elves and Orcs should not produce viable offspring, for some reason she became pregnant. Despite the pregnancy being dangerous, both elven mother and elven-orc child survived.

Wanted Monster Locations

In order to catch the monster, you have to use your Seal after whittling down its health (ZL button)

Orc Archer

It’s in the cave on the side of the river away from town

Slime

The slime appears with other monsters. The bridge there is a great place to fish!

Fairy

Another great place to fish!

Big Muck

Chipsqueak

Next to the spring

Ignis

Garmr

Dropped a Crimson Fur when killed

Emperor Penguin

Silver Wolf

Mamadoodle

Malm Cat

Blood Panther

Ignis

Elementalist

Guardian

Hell Ghost

Mermaid, Little Dragon, and Ice Griffin

These 3 monsters become available after completing the main list. The rewards and locations are random and change daily. You are allowed to undertake each 1x a day.

Monster Taming

  • Use your Seal Spell (ZL button) to catch the monster and then feed it items until it gets the heart with flowers.
  • If it gets a heart with a skull after, then keep trying similar items until it becomes a heart with flowers
  • If you get all skulls and no hearts at all, you likely have no space in the barn. Either build a new one, an additional room, or clear a monster
  • Every monster has favorite items, but generally, you can use anything provided your level is high enough
  • Monster’s favorite items are usually items they drop
  • You can only use specific items on Boss monsters which is usually the items they drop themselves plus other particular items according to other guides.

Starfall Crops

The day after a meteor shower (totally random event denoted by the day’s icon) somewhere in the world (Phoros Woodlands, Kelve Volcanic Region, Lake Yumina, Gadeus Grasslands, etc) there will be a meteor crashed into the ground. Apparently, they are in certain locations, but it’s still random. My first one was in Phoros Woodlands in the desert.

You smash it with your hammer and get Starfall Seeds. The seed is huge and takes up a 2×2 area. Depending on what season you plant it in, you’ll get a particular crop. It takes several days before it can be harvested (I ended up using growth formulae because I’m impatient).

Mine was planted in the summer so I got Starfall Corn.

You can save it to cook with (or maybe enter the Harvest Festival with) or sell it for lots of moolas.

Creeper Screenshots

There’s a Badge you can use to sneak into everyone’s homes when they’re sleeping for “investigative purposes”. I found it both creepy and hilarious, so here are the screenshots for each character.

Note: Doug, Margaret, and Radea stay at the Hotel and have no option to choose to investigate. Every character DOES say something in an aside the first time you approach them in their beds.
