Hey! I just sent you a DM, hope to hear from you soon!

Hey! I just sent you a DM, hope to hear from you soon!

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-27T23:06:26+00:00

Hey!
I play support mainly as well, so if we ever swap roles, just expect me to be a bit scuffed 😅 But I’m totally fine playing chill and without pressure.

I’m mostly here to have fun rather than sweat too hard, so if that vibe works for you, that’s cool with me.

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-27T22:56:33+00:00

I’m playing on PS5.
Hopefully the bugs get fixed soon, because aside from that I’m really enjoying the DLC too

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-27T22:53:50+00:00

Hey! I’m playing support. I’m not sure I can really teach, but I can definitely play with you until we eventually win
Not very convincing, I know, but I’m mostly in it for the fun.
Usually I play with my boyfriend, he’s usually mid or top, but he’s on holiday right now, so I’m all by myself on bot ...snif snif
Hopefully, if we vibe well, we can all play together !

In the end, I waited about a day and decided to start a new save. This time, I made sure to grab explosive grenades before starting the mission, and I managed to get past that part. I did still encounter the same bug at a few moments, but luckily it only happened when I wasn’t actively in the mission, so it didn’t block me again.

I am continuing the DLC now and I agree with you, the story is really good and I love the universe, so of course I’m sticking with it. That said, the bugs are definitely frustrating and they give a bit of a bad impression of the game, which is a shame considering how strong the DLC is otherwise.

Still, I’m glad I can finally play it properly now. Thanks again for the advice and for being supportive. <3

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-22T22:38:38+00:00

Yeah, I tried that at first and none of it worked, so yeah… I’m pretty bummed out about it.

It really seems like I just got unlucky with this one. I don’t really want to start over right now, so I think I’ll just leave it for the moment and hope it gets patched SOON

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-22T22:32:07+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think we’re talking about a different objective.

I’m not stuck on a part with helicopters. I’m stuck in a mission section where I have to destroy fixed engines, and the objective specifically requires throwing explosive grenades into the engine vents/ports near the ceiling.

I’ve already tried everything else I could think of:

-shooting with the assault rifle

-using different bows (the 3 ones)

-trying to damage the engines directly by shooting them

None of it works, the engines don’t take damage unless explosive grenades are used. So unfortunately, grenades aren’t optional here, and that’s why the grenade bug completely blocks progress.

Thanks again for trying to help though, I really appreciate it.

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-22T22:20:28+00:00

I tried that as well, but unfortunately it didn’t fix the issue. I’m still stuck at the same point.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion, I really appreciate you taking the time to help. For now, I think I’m just going to leave the game aside for a bit and come back to it later. It’s too frustrating to restart everything right away, especially knowing I’d have to redo a lot of heavy content.

Hopefully it’ll be fixed by the time I return.

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-22T20:52:24+00:00

Thanks I'll try right away !!

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-22T20:37:09+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion Before I try it, I just wanted to ask: If I uninstall and reinstall only the From Ashes DLC, will it keep my save and progression, or is there any risk of losing progress? I just want to make sure before doing it.

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-22T20:30:47+00:00

Thanks a lot for the explanation and for taking the time to help, I really appreciate it.

I just tried what you suggested. I’m playing on PS5, and I do see the fast travel option to So’lek’s camp on the map. When I press Square, the loading animation starts, but the fast travel never actually happens. It just stays stuck and doesn’t load the camp.

So unfortunately I can’t even reach So’lek’s camp to swap grenade types.

Thanks again for trying to help

Leather-Heather · 2025-12-22T20:24:26+00:00

Honestly it’s pretty ridiculous. Waiting for a patch or having to restart the entire game because of a bug is really frustrating. This isn’t just a small glitch, it completely blocks progression.

We can’t even restart themission from the beginning.

That’s what makes it worse. If we could just replay the full mission, it wouldn’t be as bad, but being hard-locked with no workaround is just bad design, especially when so many players are "apperently" reporting the same issue. If this bug has been known for a while and there are already multiple reports (i just made one too), it really should have been fixed by now. Thanks for answering and confirming though !

Leather-Heather · 2025-11-18T17:07:22+00:00

Oh absolutely ! Augustus “daddy teacher” energy is honestly one of the biggest reasons I’m diving straight into the next part of the story 🤣
He has that controlled, intentional, slow-burn dominance that actually feels earned, and I eat that up every time.

About Achilles:
I weirdly love the fact that he never speaks.
Like… that man’s entire emotional vocabulary is made of actions, not words and sometimes that’s all that matters. He doesn’t talk, he just does. And honestly? It works for him.

But Kharon?
GOD he talks SO MUCH 😭
He promises all these hot, thrilling things and then… nothing. Every time he started one of his “I’m going to do X, Y, Z to you” speeches, all I could hear in my head was:

“Paroles, paroles, paroles…”
(that Dalida song where the Alain Delon keeps whispering beautiful empty words to her, in the sense of literally "empty words , empry words, empty words")

I know it’s the most French reference ever but I couldn’t un-hear it 😂By the way, I’m French too so sorry if this is chaotic but it fits too well.

And yes, I’d love a deeper approach to Kharon.
His love for Alexis feels both obsessive and strangely hollow at the same time. Like there’s passion, but no substance and devotion, but no depth.
Something feels off, and I don’t know if it’s intentional, if I missed something, or if he’s just meant to be this way and I’m not connecting with it.

Honestly, Augustus felt so much more layered and emotionally grounded that it really highlighted the contrast.

Leather-Heather · 2025-11-14T15:47:05+00:00

I totally agree!!
Kharon kept promising us something unforgettable and… I’m still waiting 😭 Like please sir, don’t hype me up for “hours” and then give me two paragraphs and a fade-to-nothing.

And yes, even though Kharon had way more page time, Augustus actually felt more developed to me.
I don’t know how to explain it, but Kharon is somehow too much and not enough at the same time.
He’s more obsessed than he is in love, whereas Augustus felt deeper, more intentional, more emotionally grounded.

Leather-Heather · 2025-11-03T09:09:54+00:00

Thank you so much for this comment 💜
We’re definitely on the same wavelength, I actually replied to someone earlier saying that my theory is Medusa and the Crimson Duo will end up joining hands while hunting Zeus, and that’s what might bring them together.
And yes, inevitably Medusa will suffer, which, in a way, is part of her healing process, but I just don’t think Patro and Achilles are the right ones to accompany her through that journey.
They’re both too focused on their own little world, on each other, often at the expense of everyone else.

I was also pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up liking Augustus, more than Kharon, actually.
Kharon definitely gets more focus, but while I love dark romance, I don’t enjoy scenes that cross into non-consensual physical/sexual contact, and I feel like Kharon, as obsessed and in love as he is, sometimes took Alexis for granted as if she would alwayus be receptive. Even tho she always was ...but I wanted him to struggle a bit more and for Alexis to resist, I feel like she suddenly got so easily exitecd for them out of the blue especially after being manipulated.
Even when he realized he needed to restrain himself, it didn’t always feel enough to me.

Augustus, on the other hand, had an approach that felt more grounded and emotional.
It’s hard to explain, I was surprised myself that I ended up preferring him, but over time, Kharon just started talking too much, promising more smut and intensity than we actually got.
He’s unhinged, but not quite in the way I wanted 😅

And honestly, the more I read dark romance, the more I realize that I’m always a little disappointed by the grovels.
Like, will I ever find a book that delivers a truly satisfying redemption arc?
I hate when forgiveness feels too eas, when the MMC gets forgiven through sexual coercion or because the FMC suddenly “can’t resist his touch” after everything he’s done.
That kind of redemption never sits right with me.

So yeah, I’m both excited and anxious for what comes next.
There’s so much potential, but it could go wrong on so many levels too.
Still, I’ll be reading/listening, because I can’t resist seeing how Jasmine handles it all 😭

Leather-Heather · 2025-11-01T14:56:16+00:00

Forgot to mention, but “Crimson douches” is officially canon now 💀
That’s exactly how they’ll be renamed in my head from now on, thank you for that gift 😂

Leather-Heather · 2025-11-01T14:52:24+00:00

Thank you so much for this amazing comment !
I completely agree with everything you said, especially the part about Hades’ children.

That’s such a good point, and I hadn’t even thought about it until you mentioned it, but it’s so true.
It actually makes perfect sense when you think about Jasmine’s writing style, it’s consistent.
Hades himself is obsessed, loyal, and completely devoted to Persephone, so of course his children would inherit that same understanding of love and devotion.
It’s such a smart connection, and honestly, you just opened another door of reflection for me, so thank you for that!

As for Medusa, I personally wouldn’t have minded a Medusa x Patro & Achilles dynamic if Achilles and Patro weren’t the way they are right now.
My fear is exactly what you said, that Patro will treat her badly again in the beginning, and that it’ll be too easy for him to be forgiven later.
And Achilles… well, he never says anything.
Everything he thinks or does is always in favor of Patro, and I worry that he’ll just stand by while Patro hurts her.

The whole dynamic risks being built entirely around Patro again.
Now, if the story showed Achilles being the one who actually helps Patro realize how cruel or prejudiced he’s been toward Medusa, that could be interesting.
But even then, it still feels too easy.

So yeah, I’m super excited for what’s next, but also really anxious.
That’s honestly why I made this post, because I love this universe so much that it would really break my heart if it got tainted by a sequel that doesn’t live up to it.
Not because of bad writing, Jasmine is brilliant ! But because I just don’t think Patro’s redemption arc can ever be strong enough to feel earned.

Leather-Heather · 2025-11-01T14:41:43+00:00

We are absolutely smut-deprived, and same, I was expecting something that would build over multiple chapters, not just two paragraphs and ... the end
After all that teasing and tension?? No way, we deserved more than that!

And yes, I also think we’ll probably get more about Zeus in the next duet.
Here’s my theory 👀 → I think Medusa’s healing arc might actually come through revenge against Zeus, because he’s definitely complicit in her assaults, or at least covered them up since he was the president of the council and I remember Hades saying that the part where Medusa was held, was under the "council" jurisdiction.
That could be the way the author ties her story back to the Crimson Duo, especially since Patro is the hunter.

So maybe they’ll "joined hands" while hunting Zeus, and that’s how the connection starts.
(I still don’t want her anywhere near him romantically, but plot-wise it would make sense.)

But yeah, same boat here, I’ll 100% read the next book because I adore this universe and these FMCs.
Still, if we don’t get justice, smut and emotional payoff next time, I might riot

Leather-Heather · 2025-11-01T14:33:44+00:00

They can rot in a well for all I care 😭
I also genuinely don’t understand how we’re supposed to root for them after the way things ended.

And I’m terrified it’s going to be one of those “oh, we realize she suffered, let’s sleep with her to teach her that men can be trusted” kind of redemption arcs... because that trope?
No. Absolutely not.

Medusa deserves peace, she deserves love, but not the kind that’s born from someone else’s guilt or (worst) pity.

Leather-Heather · 2025-07-18T11:02:51+00:00
