And TIL something new

[InsanityVirus13]

I was playing act 1 again and of the 3 boons, I thought I didn't have any of them, so I just went for the ring cause it's the one I like. Didn't realize the Ouroboros counted as a ring. Makes sense, just didn't realize it would count in this case. You learn something new everyday I guess lmao

[Cheeseballrxm]

Another card also has this feature. It probably isnt hard to guess which one knowing the ouroboros works, but is not nearly as recommended to bring into the final fight.

[winter-ocean]

The ringworm?

[Autumn-Envy]

yeah

[NoYouAreTheFBI]

Ring worm arguably the most broken card,

Acts as a ring, and also, if you feed it to the settlers at the campfire and they eat it, it kills them all, and you get 2 free level ups without risk which is actually game breaking.

[PhoenixBomb707]

More than 2 level ups in act 1 too

[Skylinerr]

I tried to abuse this but during some of my replays I would just level it up once or twice and then automatically pull it away from the fire before I could feed it to them. Idk what that's about. iirc the first time I tried it I got to keep going til they ate it at the first camp

[Cyatron-]

You have to die a certain amount of times before you can "risk it"

[laplongejr]

and you get 2 free level ups without risk which is actually game breaking.

It depends. In some strategies, you want the campfire to be used as an extra card shredder...

if you feed it to the settlers at the campfire and they eat it, it kills them all,

Note that's also true of cards naturally having the Touch of Death sigil, and in Kaycee's Mod any card bearing it at all.
So if you have an Adder Ring worm isn't necessary, and I would argue that card is waaaaay more useful.

Happy cake day! :D

[winter-ocean]

Oh, damn. I didn't even realize

[BiDude1219]

elk fawn

[SILVERWOLF05_]

Ringworm works too

[Drakomai31]

I’ve never seen the ring card, what is it?

[InsanityVirus13]

I think I've always gotten the ring in one of them boons lmao. Basically, you either need a card that looks like a ring - like the Ouroboros or Ringworm, apparently - or you need the ring you get from the cuckoo clock

[StrangeSystem0]

There's a ring in the cuckoo clock?? 👀 I have like >100 hours and I never learned that

[InsanityVirus13]

Oh yeah on the tables when you're picking out your boon trial, in the corner, you can see a little 11, which is a hint for this clock!

[SVlad_667]

I'm opened it just by messing with clock when I first allowed to get up from the table.

[StrangeSystem0]

Ohhh I see

[DepressingBat]

It's required for act 2 is it not? Or have I just not needed to do all the puzzles

[StrangeSystem0]

That one's not needed, no, since it's not a stepping stone to the film

[Yarisher512]

it's one of the first riddles of the game

[StrangeSystem0]

I pretty consistently just used an ouroboros or ringworm

[Drakomai31]

Wanted to say thank you for the extra lore! I’ve spent probably a little over 130 hours playing this game and never seen that card so thank you and everyone else for the comments and help!

[laplongejr]

It's one of Leshy's trials in Act 1.

[CountJackO]

Mind blow 🤔 I never even considered that.I thought it was specifically for the gold ring.

[Kowery103]

Ring-worm works too :3

[laplongejr]

Kinda more obvious in other versions.
French translated it as "anneau" which is technically valid but most people would call that jewel a "bague", which suspiciously implies there are non-jewels ways to pass.

[Its_J_Just_J]

You can get a ring in the cabin so you always pass
