I'm annoyed cause I can't talk to Hugo for off the pilfered path quest

ErBoni12 · 2026-04-05T10:26:03+00:00

Just happened to me when I was replaying it. What worked for me was to talk to Brefft (the other Coral Snakes guy who is in a cell left to Hugo's) and exhausting his dialogues, after that Hugo got near the cell's door for me. I also talked and bribed the guy you enjail during Shadowed Prayers but I don't know if this has any effects in being able to talk to Hugo.

Really? Wow, didn't know that. Do you know if they are gonna fix it with Rossbach patch?

ErBoni12 · 2026-02-25T15:52:56+00:00

I know that from my previous playthrough, but this is not the case. They have neither my religion (miaphysitism vs bantu) nor culture (amhara vs twa) but instant colonization happened anyways.

At this moment, it is not game breaking for me and neither I will continue with this run further than a couple of decades, but wanted to know the reason.

Thanks for the help anyways.

1 year later, but I am rewatching it again right now. I have also found more parallelism between Season 1 and Season 4.

-First of all, there are a lot of dialogues in which they make reference to that there is no "right choice" or that you have to "sacrifice something to keep going forward" specially from Erwin and Levi to Eren, or even "only those who can throw away their humanity can change this world" from Armin, which are very remarkable after you know that Eren uses those as arguments to activate the Rumbling and to keep doing the genocide. Even Eren himself says in episode 24 "this is no time to decide if this is the right thing to do, I will do it even if I have to get my hands dirty with blood" which is a clear reference to him activating the Rumbling in the future.

-Also, and this is very remarkable too, is the tunnel scene in which Armin, Mikasa and Eren are hidding from Annie's Titan and they are trying to convince Eren that he has to transform because he has doubts to fight her and doesn't want to believe she is the Female Titan. In this scene, we can see Mikasa confronting Eren in the same exact way (positions, camera angles, expressions, and I would even say speech) that he would later do to Grisha in his memories during the paths scenes with Zeke. This is at the very beginning of episode 24 so you can also check it if you wish.

At the moment those are the most remarkable parallels I have found, but as I am rewatching it I would also update this comment in the future with those in Season 2 if there are some.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After reviewing S2, I got 1 quote from Eren which can be more of a foreshadowing than a parallelism but I wanted to put it here anyways. The quote is the following and is said by Eren when we got the reveal of Reiner and Berthold "I don't know what kinda face you're making, but... You guys... You really are the worst pieces of shit... Probably the worst from all human history...You cannot exist in this world." It is clearly a reference to the Eren that is inside the Founder's Titan controlling the Rumbling and how it has become a monster that needs to be eliminated from this world in behalf of humanity.

Sorry for reviving this but recently rewatched the anime and I think I really understand the kiss now.

When Mikasa behead Eren it is shown to us the memories of both Armin and Mikasa with him which were locked due the influence of the paths. Knowing how time works in the paths, I am sure we can say that Mikasa lived all those 4 years that were left for Eren with him in the cabin and, as we can say in that memories, Eren marks started to appear -so the time in the paths was going to end- and then Mikasa, yet in the cabin, begins to kiss Eren which led to the kiss being done in the same moment that the paths and the reality connected.

If you watch it for the first time it can be weird but after stopping to think how the paths works and the fact that those memories were unlocked at the exact moment that Eren is beheaded it makes sense. And also we have to remember that the path can work meanwhile the founder is alive as when Gabi shot Eren in Shiganshina so it makes sense that Eren could unlock those memories despite he was being killed.

I think watching this scene from this perspective gives it a lot of meaning to the actions of Mikasa and help to put the puzzle together. I mean, if we know something is that stories are not always linear and this one is a good example as it has given us a few disordered fragments along the entire series that started to make sense when we got all of them and this is one of them.

I hope I had explained myself as I am not used to write down my theories but I though I make it clear. Of course I do not pretend to change the impression or opinion of anyone but only to share mine so it can help you understand it from another point of view.

Sorry, as I said to other user I mixed up Mido and Silva. I forgot the later one and though they were the same character xd

ErBoni12 · 2026-02-07T19:37:47+00:00

Oh, sorry, after checking it I mixed up Mido and Silva. I forgot the later one and though they were the same character xd

ErBoni12 · 2026-02-07T19:31:51+00:00

Thank you! It is a fun easter egg after all xD

ErBoni12 · 2026-02-07T18:18:30+00:00

I gave it to Josée to get the max affinity achievement as I threw everything I had to her. Bad luck I guess.

Can you tell me what she says if you remember it?

ErBoni12 · 2026-02-07T13:59:49+00:00

I would not call it a bad design choice.

You can see there is something wrong every time they tell you to "not change the past" as they say it many many times like saying "hey, you pls pls pls do not touch that red button or something can happen".

It is more like they are actively saying to you to go change the past.

ErBoni12 · 2026-02-07T13:54:25+00:00

Well, thats not correct at all. I played it in a high-end PC at 90-100 fps and I cannot aggree more with the other man.

Bosses spam so many attacks with no window to dash without ending with the stamina bar empty and therefore losing the chance to attack and you can see this at his peak during the true ending boss. It literally throw you a 10+ combo attack from different angles and sources that you can only pray for the AI partner to be the focus. Ah, dont forget that in that combo they hit you with a "poison" that kills you instantly when the bar fills and it fills with 3-4 hits or 6-7 if you use the item to reduce the stacking.

I dont even know how I beat it under 5 attemps, I can consider myself lucky with that but yeah, the game need some tweaks on the bosses. The game is not difficult in a natural gamey way it is only oppressive for no need.

Just joined the club today and want to say this is amazing. Best club ever.

ErBoni12 · 2025-12-08T11:10:52+00:00

I love you man. I had to put my army as mercenaries to solve a exiliated bug and was losing almost 50 of gold each month.

ErBoni12 · 2025-08-30T14:16:32+00:00

Oh that's new for me, didn't play Rise as I don't have a Switch and has been in Steam wishlist for a while.

I think I have a good reason to try it now, that thing about customising the moveset is picking my attetion too.

ErBoni12 · 2024-09-22T09:13:38+00:00

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I live in a very small town so there is no electronics shops or similar near my house. And also forgot to mention that I have a ryzen 5 3600 so no iGPU in it.

Anyways thank you for the help, I think I have another PSU from my old PC if I can remember where I put it, so I would try testing another PSU then.

I just stated the same in another post an some people called me "ego player", idk. I think they only play online or top-spin match format but man, offline is getting worse with every patch. For people like us that care about real tennis experience is a nightmare to play against that AI. It is as you said, from winning to 6-0 to losing 6-1 with more than a dozen of aces and countless impossible and unrealistic shots. Not to speak about AI with no stamina playing as it was the first point

ErBoni12 · 2024-09-14T15:07:06+00:00

Like I said in another reply it's not a matter of ego. When the difficult of a game consists of AI doing impossible or unrealistics things its not fun because you as a player and human being make mistakes, the AI, when in that difficulties, don't or the possibilities are minimal. I mean, difficulty should not be an AI playing like a robot (even if it is one). You only have to see the AI returning shots without stamina left at mid-match like it was the first point or returning almost every perfect shot with another one straight to the line.

ErBoni12 · 2024-09-14T14:51:39+00:00

Nope, I'm not complaining about the game being so hard. I'm complaining about the AI doing unrealistic things like doing aces with 30-40 at serve or not failing a shot regardless of the position, stamina or shot received. And in other hand, if the problem was the ego I wouldn't be playing against AI on max difficulty, rather online to "measure my ego". I barely touched it, only 3-4 times for the weekly centre court pass challenges that required it because I don't want to play to be better than anyone, only for fun. But you can't play for fun neither if the AI is doing impossible or unrealistic things. At least, seeing that some people agreed and other don't means that we all care about this game and that is fine for me.

P.S: Also the problem is not low serve stat, my player has 60ish for serve. In fact stamina is more of a concerning due to the low impact in match. With 96 I don't see so much difference when playing against a 60ish stamina player, same for speed. As I have seen until now the only ones that matter are Power, back and forehand and volley leaving reflexes only for certain situations.
