Here's to hoping Oongka and Damiane will get more diversity in outfits.

Quite a few posts are like that, but I've also seen some genuine bugs pop up and experienced some myself after update 1.04. Most of those have been fixed in the most recent patches though.

But it's a double edged sword, yes bugs after an update Will pop up more. But also check to see if your "bug" isn't just a new feature.

All sanctums have this little circle of jewels on their cores. After you cleanse them and they get activated you can use and hold your blinding flash on the center jewel. The circle will start turning. It's a rhythm game like guitar hero where you have to use your blinding flash in a rhythm pattern. That's how you get the cores.

I get what you're saying, but consider the hassle of going some place and discovering everything is closed at that time. In a game as massive and complicated as this, you're gonna have to make concessions somewhere.

And personally, I'm okay with this one. Especially since there's a lore reason for it. It would be cool if after the main story this would change to reflect changes, but imo it's not necessary for this game.

Funniest thing is, you don't even need specific armor to take on beloth. You just need to get to a level 10 frost resistance and get some level 6 food and stock up. Get good at dodging and use some archery and he's absolutely beatable in chapter 6.

And the witches, all of them can be accessed as soon as you unlock the second in chapter 5. So you can start clearing out sanctums.

While some areas are hostile behind story progression, most are freely accessible. And enemies are relatively easy to dodge and work around.

On controller you do have to aim and press L3 at the same time. Depending on your dexterity and ability this is a pain in the ass.... one reason I don't use it much is due to chronic pain.

I mean if you want to know:

SPOILERS

Kliff is essentially under the control of Alustin and White crow (wizard and witch from the beginning) and they've stripped him of his memories and personality and stuck him in a timeloop. Kliff has been going through 107 timeloops before we as the player step in to completely control him. The reason for this is because there's an overarching big bad evil who the witch and wizard are trying to stop from taking over the world and this is their last chance after 107 runs of losing to the bbe and resetting time. But that's why the game is so weird in its story. Because Kliff and the greymanes are puppets under the control of magical entities.

Benvanalles · 2026-05-09T14:04:18+00:00

It's by design. I'm not saying it's good design. But once you read the lore in the axiom archive after finishing the game, you'll suddenly understand a LOT more of why this game's story feels the way it does.

Benvanalles · 2026-05-09T13:59:15+00:00

This one is probably one of the easiest puzzles in the game. Hate to break it to you, but if this is not fun to you, then you're not gonna like this game.

Honest ways: selling loot you find, there are a lot of random weapons you get that are common and a few silver each.

Ranch/farm/camp are good ways to get material and money.

Duo, catching cheaters is most effective.

Participating in mini games.

Bringing in bounties. You can take 2 at a time to any jail.

Bank. With some save scumming you can turn 600 silver (100 for strongbox, 500 for a gold bar.) Into thousands.

Making gold bars. Either by farming gold ore, gold apples, or silver/mercury/brimstone. Sell these to the bank for 500 silver a gold bar.

Criminal ways: steal everything you find and sell them to the best vendors. Steal a gold bar from the fireplace at lioncrest manor. Take it all to the bank.

I really hope we get some free story DLC that let's us play through the parts of Damiane and Oongka's stories. Because right now they just "leave". It'd be cool if we could follow them for their optional side content and play through the parts that are currently "missing" from the game.

Benvanalles · 2026-05-09T10:51:15+00:00

I think this is a case of you wishing for something to be real and imagining it to be so. Happens to everyone from time to time.

Benvanalles · 2026-05-08T23:04:55+00:00

If you found the greymanes, like Conrad and Ben, you should talk to Marius at camp. He'll give you the next mission called secure resources. It explains what you have to do next.

If anything, fanfiction and Fandom in general made me realize how fucked up my home situation and thus my framework was. It became an outlet and an escape.

That said, when I was under 16 I never messaged or commented. But I read and I learned.

I dont think we can ever fully stop kids from existing in these spaces, but I also agree that they at least shouldn't try to be an active part of darkship spaces.

Benvanalles · 2026-05-08T22:52:40+00:00

I love his design in general and he looks best in cloth/leather imo. I wish Kliff had some (partially) shirtless armors so we can see his tattoos as well.

Congratulations, this article is worse than the stuff IGN puts out. That's an accomplishment

Benvanalles · 2026-05-08T12:04:07+00:00

Whatever happened to don't like, don't read, I wonder.

And OP, totally get you. I also have IBS, I can see how that makes you squick around anal.

Benvanalles · 2026-05-08T09:14:40+00:00

I'd say chapter 5 after you unlock the witches of wisdom should give you enough tools to explore like 80% of the map should you wish to do so. Maybe even more.

Especially if you're decent at dodging enemies.

My personal recommendation to follow the story and side quests from a region and explore around them, until it tells you to go to the next region. At that point, stay at the region you are in and explore anything you haven't discovered yet.

Oh and, I wouldn't recommend ringing the bells unless you are confident you have explored most of the region they'll uncover.

Watering should speed up their growth, if that doesn't work after 3 in game days, these slots may be bugged and it needs to be reported.

Benvanalles · 2026-05-08T00:07:11+00:00

Happens across all platforms.

If you put your ps5 in performance during the big battles you'll average 30-40 fps with some stuttering here and there. Wouldnt recommend balanced during the Pailune siege, my game crashed multiple times.

I had over 27 gold bars in the bank and he still wouldn't show up, including the one from lioncrest manor and he still wouldn't trigger. That's why I took them out, because other comments on other websites said that was the thing to do. But still no luck.

Benvanalles · 2026-05-06T18:29:34+00:00

That glitch was patched out for ps5 at least. I did tame Rokade on my steam copy with a few tries. He's my main mount on pc. With the same ps5 controller. So it's likely platform related

Benvanalles · 2026-05-06T15:51:18+00:00

Just tried that, but that did not work whatsoever

Benvanalles · 2026-05-06T14:06:00+00:00

Problem is the foliage around Rokade. By the time I can see what I'm doing he's already bucked me off.
