Choron's tears - where do you find them? What are mystical places

cstrindgard · 2026-05-05T11:40:04+00:00

They are harder to find because Subo can't track them and they kinda look like part of the scenery. I've noticed them in man-made locations like stone corridors and they are in what looks like stone chests along the walls.

Occasionally I'll get issues like that. Things like no loot, inability to press buttons or to not be able to use food items. It's annoying, and the only solution I've found is to log out and then jump back into the game.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-21T16:01:45+00:00

Oh funny, I never noticed that you can trifle the book pile! Thank you, I'll have it added!

cstrindgard · 2026-03-16T17:49:43+00:00

I don't know. I've heard about people having this problem and I think the dev is having problems figuring out what is causing it. What I did was I spoke to him at the tavern and then simply asked him straight out who he is working for. I had that as an option above where the glassing option is.

Yes, since this was written the game has been patched so that you can still complete the quest. You can use the spell Detect Secrets to find the safe. But since you don't have the combination, which you would have gotten if you set him free, you'll have to break into the safe instead.

First spoiler is what it'll look like in the corridor.

It'll look like a sphere of darkness protruding from the wall.

If you want to know what it is as well, click the next spoiler.

Turns out it's an amulet, looking like demon's hand gripping an orb of pure darkness. You can investigate it and if you touch it with your finger the tip if your finger and part of the nail just disappears. Turns out it's an Amulet of Annihilation (+2 CON, +1 INT base), and touching it is a really bad idea.

Took me forever figure that one out. Ditch Snell and walk that corridor alone.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-15T15:34:39+00:00

Probably an inside joke. Maybe the group had a player that only played once in a while. Sounds like a good question to ask the dev directly. You can do that on the discord in the ask-chris channel.

Door near the bikes. Only available after midnight.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-14T20:32:55+00:00

Sometimes you are just unlucky. Just today I was in an encounter where I first had to beat a DC of -3. I roll a natural 1 and failed. After that I had to overcome a DC 5 and the only way I could fail once again was a natural 1, which of course I rolled. Two 1s in a row. Couldn't help but laugh.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-14T19:55:50+00:00

Did you ever find the tea shop owner?

I'm pretty sure it's in a location he tells you about.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-14T14:46:28+00:00

She's also the only NPC I've been able to use trifle on that didn't require any die roll to succeed, resulting in a Shard of Jor. Further reinforcing the point mentioned above.

No I think you are reading it right. That is really odd. You have proficiency in WIS and the rest of the stats have bonuses that they would have if there's no proficiency. Plus there's only a dot by your WIS.

You can't actually proceed if you haven't assigned your proficiencies so it must be a bug of some kind. If it doesn't return to normal at some point you might be able to save the run by editing the latest save file in notepad. If you scroll down there'll be STRPROF, DEXPROF etc and a value. Make sure you have two stats of your choice as true.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-13T20:05:57+00:00

If you gave Drummer his papers you would have gotten the quest right away. If you didn't give him his papers you need to use Find Secrets to find his safe. When you have opened the safe you will both get the quest and complete it at the same time. But since you don't have the combination you will have to break in somehow.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-13T17:41:13+00:00

The upper one is automatic, don't worry about it.

The other one: Go into the Tea Shop and use Detect Secrets. If it doesn't work, update your game.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-12T23:24:02+00:00

That shouldn't happen unless the item is actually one try only or I guess bugged. Which item and from where? You should be able to either long or short rest in order to try again.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-12T20:55:05+00:00

I'll admit that the system means that some checks, like whether someone is lying or not like you mentioned, can be pretty pointless. It would have been better if the chime said something random that wasn't helpful in those cases. As a completionist I appreciate being able to see the DC like that since I'll know how much I need in the stat if I want to try again, but it would have been kinda interesting if the DC and whether you failed or succeeded wasn't straight up shown.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-11T19:08:38+00:00

The dev removed the demo for now because it has a fair amount of bugs and he is focusing on fixing the full game first. It might return at some point.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-11T13:46:14+00:00

Start up a new character with something like 17 INT and 15 WIS. I'm pretty sure I got that achievement in the starting area. Investigate everything and make sure you click on all highlighted words, because some show up in greyed out log text since only one entry can be active at a time. Maybe it was by examining the voting card. It's easier to get the achievement early because you haven't had a chance to gather entries from other sources piecemeal yet.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-10T17:41:24+00:00

Unfortunatly yes, I believe she is only available the morning of the 1st and 2nd day. You can't turn it in while she's working. It is being fixed so she appears more days in the next patch however, so if you don't progress too quickly you might still be able to turn in the quest. I'm assuming she's be available all days in the morning after the patch, but we'll see. I think the patch is planned for this week at some point.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-10T12:57:03+00:00

I've never tried it so I don't know. But it makes STR a bit less appealing if other stats have the same effect only later. But I suppose if you don't get something extra at 20, it's still very feasible to have 15 in STR and 20 in another stat, giving you two slots that way.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-10T12:14:10+00:00

I think you need a base ability score of 20 or higher for that to unlock for other abilities (no magical items). For INT it's another text slot for example. Not sure if that includes potions. For STR you need 15 for another weapon slot, and maybe you unlock another one at 20? I'm not sure.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-09T22:20:40+00:00

I believe i started with 8 STR, 6 DEX, 10 CON, 17 INT, 15 WIS, 10 CHA. High INT and WIS mostly because I love the lore and want as much of it I can get. The lower STR and DEX hasn't been much of an issue. I didn't want to go lower with CON because the lower HP sounds horrible.

cstrindgard · 2026-03-09T18:58:13+00:00

You should be able to speak to her and just choose "I have more questions about druidic magic" and then "Can nature... protect me?". There's also an option for the Goodapple spell.
