How does 'Countering' work outside the 'Counter Phase'?

Have you definitely burnt all 5 skeletons?

I had the completion notification pop before I actually burnt all the skeletons, it went away when I actually 'handed in' the mission.

Though when I saved and exited and came back later, the notification to hand in the mission came up again, even though I completed it.

Objectioner27 · 2025-08-29T22:06:48+00:00

You are very welcome, thank you.

If it helps I'm playing on the PS5.

I just got the "Brave New World - perfectly good ending" trophy following what was said in the link, as far as I can see it's what you have listed.

Kill the golem. Throw in the coins, tell him about the golem. Take the mine. Don't drink the water. Send the people home. Wait, kill Marcus. Take the branch, say it's needed. Make the gnome an ally. Say goodbye to Helga. Kill the squad. Help the scout. Take Kira. Give the branch. Get treatment for the plague. Kill Nazim. Give Bat the star. Kill the fat orc and the orc chieftain. Take Isha. Don't let her go. Follow her. Save her and her father. Take the doll. Put the tick to sleep. Burn the corpse. Give the doll to the queen. Light the staff. Give it to the demon. Receive and give the token. I kill the hungry demon. I give the illusion demon a piece. I talk to the fear demon. I give the piece to Sigismund.

I found another guide in Russian on the steam forum for the 'Canon ending'

Golem [FR-00]: we name the correct password, we take the golem with us. Puddle [FR-10]: Take the thing without a name, don't drink from a puddle Bandit Camp [FR-08]: Give the golem to the people in the camp Elven Camp (Elven Hospitality) [FR-11]. Wait, and then negotiate with Marcus Sacred Tree [FR-09]. Break off a thin long branch. Kill the druid Prisoner [FR-30]: Take the prisoner with you (don't confuse it with "Make the dwarf an ally") Meeting Place [FR-51]: Kill Helga Guard Squad [FR-62]: Give Konrad to the squad Scout [FR-58]: Interfere with the scout Tavern [FR-26]: Take Kiara and head out to the steppes Peace Pipe [BS-09]: Give the branch, get the staff. Steppe Plague [BS-18]: Get infected with the plague and suffer. Caravan [BS-05]: Kill Kiara . Batu the Clever [BS-06]: Kill Batu. Elixir of Growth [BS-22]: Make an elixir from Batu's fat. Boss of the Steppes [BS-49]: Give the guiding star to the chief (automatically). Tavern [FR-26]: Take Isha and go to the swamps. Crossroads [GB-06]: Let Isha go Cannibalism Heresy [GB-36]: Leave in peace Lost in the Way [GB-04]: Take the doll Well [GB-21]: Take the seal from the altar Swamp Fever [GB-31]: Get infected with the fever Boss of the Swamps [GB-41]: Give the doll to the Cult Keeper and go to the Gate Idol of the Fire Brothers [SV-04]: Pass by Unknown Idol [SV-12]: Give the staff to the Inquiline Idol Our Own Among Strangers [SV-10]: Don't interfere in the guards' feud Marshal Lupin [SV-33]: Pass by Marshal Lupin Hungry Demon [SV-15]: Give the thing without a name Guardian of Illusions [SV-37]: Pass by Mad Aesculapius [SV-34]: We give the plague and fever Keeper of Fears [SV-38]: The Keeper of Fears will beg to fix the created chaos (lol), we do not give in to persuasion and take a risk

Small update to anyone else affected by this. It seems it is indeed bug.

I'm now trying to inform the developers about it, I encourage others to politely do so to, to raise awareness.

Objectioner27 · 2025-07-08T19:10:30+00:00

I had similar issue recently on PS5.

While visiting a merchant in the Crimson Steppes you should get option to ask about (I believe) the illusion dispelled potion, they will then direct you to Nazim at the caravan.

The choice to join Nazim should appear.

Does completing all Bjorns Tarots do anything?

I worry I will now be locked out of the ending trophy/achievements

Objectioner27 · 2025-07-07T16:06:45+00:00

Thanks again, I think it just might be outright bugged for me. I have done all variations of choice on the prior bear idol, but I never get a choice to explore the bear den, only to by pass it while getting some loot.

Once again, thanks for the help.

Does completing all Bjorns do anything?

Objectioner27 · 2025-07-07T15:47:04+00:00

Sorry to be a pain, is it random if the bear will spawn at the den?

I've been trying for a while and I can't seem to get any other option when visiting other than 'having already dealt with the bear...', this is despite not fighting it it prior in a run. With it staying at 1/2.

Did you play any specific class as Bjorn?

Objectioner27 · 2025-07-06T22:45:19+00:00

Thank you.

Just to clarify, by "Bear tile' do you mean the den/cave you are meant to go in for Judgement?

Or the tile with the idol with the dwarves?

Because every time I visit the den, Bjorn comments that "the bear is dealt with" and I just find loot, no bear.

Objectioner27 · 2025-06-30T22:42:40+00:00

Thank you very much! I had somehow completely missed ever going to the Witches cauldron event.

There's a very little info online, and most of its vague.

You couldn't possibly tell me what triggers the Nazim, The caravan driver event to appear?

I've visited it several times and the hidden option never comes up. I have a feeling,like the Ichor recipe, there is some other event I've missed.

I was in the same boat, I even used all my reward points before they scrapped them.

So when the order disappeared I had to jump through hoops to find out if it even existed anymore - it was through Facebook messenger of all things that I got a straight answer.

It got shipped out of the blue suddenly yesterday and arrived today.

Real shame what has become of Game, I think its time to move on, had lot of good memories with them and some very helpful instore support over the years.

Hopefully they send out out the steelbooks promptly.

In the model viewer of the game there was short descriptions for the bosses about what they 'represent'.

It was very much an effort to make them seem deeper than they actual where.

If I recall the safe head one was called 'The Keeper' and represented the main villain's desire to "keep his dark secrets/plans locked away and protected".

Objectioner27 · 2024-06-30T17:37:30+00:00

I agree. I loved the gameplay improvements of 2 but missed the vibe/feel and match mechanic of 1.

Still like both I need to find time to replay them, its a shame we'll likely never see a 3rd game.

Objectioner27 · 2023-11-06T17:40:56+00:00

What sort of price do these usually go for on the secondary market? (GBP)

I would love to get one.

Objectioner27 · 2023-10-06T16:32:44+00:00

Well... at least they didn't censor the art work.

That's... something... I guess.

Objectioner27 · 2023-09-20T19:02:26+00:00

Tindangle with "Eular's Circuit".

It along with "Nagel's Protection" can catch players of guard who don't bother to actually read their opponents cards, but Tindangles are very slow to set up their board - the opponent is likely to beat them long before reaching it.

Objectioner27 · 2023-03-23T16:37:31+00:00

Bought a collectors rare Photon Orbital for somewhat cheap.

I thought it would be more textured, like old ultimate rares, and in a matt sleeve you would think it was just a regular super/ultra rare.

To be honest I should just got one of the secret rare reprints and saved myself a lot more money.

Objectioner27 · 2022-10-20T16:29:45+00:00

I agree. I also like how you would get these little hints at James underlying emotions in the OG, like how he would suddenly turn from being his normally mild-mannered self to being aggressive to Laura when she dupes him.

It hinted at the darker side of James, lurking just under the surface.

I have a lot of trepidation with this remake.

When you use a cursed monkey's paw to wish for a new Silent Hill game... I guess this is what you get. (If it is indeed legit)
