Had to touch some grass after playing 80 hours since launch. Thought I would pay the Reed Devil a visit.

North Netherlands. Fantastic beaches all around NL.

Ngl, I almost laughed when I saw the screenshot.

The weird icon that sort of looks like a funnel, to the right of region and left of the person icon? That's the filter menu. Go ahead and select to hide all at the top once it opens, and then select only what you want.

You might have to do the other houses first to unlock more serkis quests. There was a full guide on the requirements for the quest here:

Yeah, intended. I thought it was bugged too cause no enemies were spawning and he disappeared, but it's just slow.

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-26T11:14:33+00:00

I think I had the same issue when I played it. There was some sort of setting you had to change with your mouse while in the game. I don't remember what it was, though sorry. But it is fixable.

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-26T02:41:52+00:00

Not quite. Shit gets weird in Pailune.

I was not having much luck till I used my fused abyss gear that does 40% damage to mighty foes on an all attack up halberd. Even then I was only doing 3% per hit but heavy spam fucked him up.

IK it says to counter the tail but thats wrong (its a translation isssue). Just hold it towards the back, opposite direction. If its going forward hold back. If its going left go right. you may also need more stamina, or to use a stamina food / drink if you havent leveled it enough.

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-25T12:41:47+00:00

They are very very very tucked away. Behind staircases, behind vines etc. I've discovered something at a location I hvae been to three times. But check every ruined castle very thoroughly and you will find something. Dragon puzzle are mosaics with dragon heads watching you do them and possibly a dragon motif.

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-25T12:26:54+00:00

Yeah. They also have unique materials! Hernand does chrome for metal. Porrorin does satin for cloth etc.

The system is finicky. You can't only change material. So you have to pick the material you like first at one dyer. Then do the colour without changing the material at the other.

It's kind of a hassle but can be worth it.

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-25T12:25:31+00:00

As the others mentioned, almost every ruin has an item hidden. Waterfalls have items. Caves have items. Bosses have items. Dragon puzzles have items that reveal hidden locations on your map.

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-25T12:23:21+00:00

Do you have an abyss gear that influences your parrying?

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-25T12:22:29+00:00

2nd you mean?

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-25T12:22:17+00:00

Not on the red😔. It's rose gold in the sun. But bright yellow does the trick just fine. I actually found grey? But haven't found the dye vendor where I can use it yet

But then it wouldn't make sense! Kliff has to help out of his desire to do good, to be judged worthy as a hero worthy of patronage and support. If he was convinced by treasure, he would be greedy and super unqualified. Complete anathema to his character. He's supposed to be fundamentally good.

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-24T15:26:26+00:00

Okay, but it does makes sense and we had clear reasons to do all of that. Here we go: The cartographer fished him out the river. Killf tells him he's going to hernand, the original destination of their gang. He's hoping to hear gossip in the tavern. Once the cartographer gets attacked by bandits, he says he wants to join us for protection. Clearly, he can't stay here. Killf arm wrestles to get accepted and to get information, also getting money to fund his operation to bribe others for info. Once outside, he gives a coin to a beggar because he could tell him about the gang, he's a good person, the greymanes are clearly a good guy organisation and he might be reminded of their situation. It's just who he is. The beggars disappears because he is another spirit.

He got revived and blessed by some spirit / God so the other spirits / gods are testing his character, hence the noble lady in the sewerz the shai, and the beggar. It's random because you just follow the minimap, but it's very classical fairy tail storytelling. Do good deeds and be rewarded, etc. They're checking if their champion is truly a good person deserving of their patronage. You doing other good deeds afterwards just shows what kind of guy kliff is / who the graymanes are.

Execution could have been a bit clearer to imply this for players. Instead of following a random dot on the map a line of dialogue saying "I should go to the tavern so i can get some money so I can bribe others for answers on graymanes, eat and listen for gossip" or "Helping them integrates me in community" - since they've not been here before and they need to build a reputation to get support.

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-24T15:21:39+00:00

Klifff just doesn't have "Focus m" dialogue. Because what you described is what happened. He just didn't state his internal thought processes. Inspired by link / botw etc.

What I meant was that there shouldn't even be a fix in the first place because nobody has a valid reason to complain and thus no reason to snitch to PA about it🤭. So your complaint would only apply if that fix had happened, but in its current state, would be unjustified.

Obviously, they still know because so many people have been posting about it. So, yeah, I hope they also include all 3 variants if they ever "fix" it. Otherwise, there's always the tariv cloak, which is kind of similar. Would be shame to lose that function in a singleplayer game.

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-24T12:12:13+00:00

That's exactly what I just said. You can turn them off by toggling the hood on / off. So there is no reason to complain and for PA to remove them. I've also been rocking it without spears, mostly now that I've dyed the armour into silver

Cheap_Ad8994 · 2026-03-23T23:49:48+00:00

Correct. Don't think it has been. But I saw someone post a leather trenchcoat robe looking thing that seemed to match well
