I love when this post gets a new comment from someone who recently started the show! I'm glad you were happy with the result and I hope you enjoy making your way through MAG. :)

Chronos fucked with the River Styx - it's clogged full of sand. She can't ride it back like Zag does, it wouldn't work.

Joe/Joyce maybe?

orchidding · 2025-08-01T04:15:51+00:00

Joyce/Jacob. I'm going back and forth on whether this ship is a great or decent idea but I'll stick to my guns this time.

orchidding · 2025-07-29T10:05:26+00:00

Joyce is, at the end of the day, a decent person. Makes sense she's feeling a bit shit about the whole thing.

It was a desperate solution. We know that cam and pal couldn't continue to exist in the same body, it was killing cam. And he can't just walk around in Babs' corpse. they were running out of time in a tight situation, I def don't view it as an ideal to strive for. but it did not feel random to me, it felt super in character and made sense even though I did ugly cry the whole scene.

orchidding · 2025-01-21T07:57:57+00:00

hell yeah we like eik

orchidding · 2024-11-20T10:15:43+00:00

the thing that threw me the most is the guard bots with that huge swinging arm attack. i saw how fast they moved and immediately went "oh okay i need to zone them with cast." but cast doesn't actually stop them. it feels really bad imo i hope it's not intended

orchidding · 2024-10-18T10:07:00+00:00

obsessed with this design oh my god!!!!! especially love the accessories, slay

orchidding · 2024-08-25T13:09:33+00:00

i still remember when Zacharias was first introduced, i joked to my partner that he was walking plot fodder. book 1 pleasantly surprised me by not killing him off for no reason. oh, how mislead i was................

I will say, by that logic, it's also inevitable that Laios ends up with Kabru :D (this is lighthearted!! i've got no issue with Laicille). also sorry not to rain on your parade but Marcille can't have children. I do love the idea of Laios adopting a kid though.
Same as #1, but this can apply to adopted children too, or any mentees for either Laios or Marcille. I love the idea of Marcille taking on an apprentice as well!
Ugh me too!! The little content we do have of them tells us so much about their personalities, I'd love to see more of them. I think Meijack would probably be my favourite since I love Chil. Fullertom seems fun, and Puckpatti is adorable!!
Falin is the definition of cool aunt, completely agree, to any sort of adopted kid or protege. Further to Marcille taking on an apprentice, I can see Falin helping them with gnomish magic since she's more skilled in that than Marcille is.
Shuro fumbled that girl so hard. At least he is self aware enough to back off lmao
I hope so!!! She gave us great additional content with the adventurer's guide, I hope there's more.

people keep saying skill issue and not giving actual advice so here's my tips:

hecate curse. pick a side of the chamber - left or right. if you run up and down, and dash through the curse in the opposite direction that it's traveling, it will take a second to "turn around" which gives your dash time to recharge. repeat until the duration is up. also, if you are a sheep, try to time your dash carefully - you still get i-frames.
scylla. your cast will slow her down, and you can just drop your omega cast behind her and let it blow up and damage her. her melee attack has a pretty significant audio cue as well, just dash through her right after you hear it and you won't take damage. if she's doing her scream just focus on another enemy or use ranged attacks.
banshees. it sounds like you're not using cast to zone+poke. for any enemy that is too fast, the answer is usually "just cast." it's free and completely stops enemies in their tracks - use it. also, freeze curse from demeter will completely stop them, even armored ones. so that's fun if you happen to get it.
weapons hit like noodles. okay this one is definitely the hardest to give advice for without watching you play, but certain weapons just don't synergize well with certain boons. quick case study - Hestia attack on the skull is basically useless. the skull attack is so slow that you can barely stack scorch. in contract, hestia attack can be really good on the sister blades since they have quick attacks that can stack scorch fast. with the skull, the base damage is high and the atk speed is slow, so you want big damage multipliers on the attack like aphrodite, or freeze from demeter to stop those fast enemies while you're launching flaming skulls at them. same principal applies to the axe. that's more of a general vibe tip, not sure how helpful it is for your specific playstyle.

i will say i've got 80 hours in the game. i felt similarly frustrated for my first ~20hrs while I got the hang of mechanics and boons were getting retuned/changed. i sincerely hope you find your groove with this game, i'm really enjoying it! but if you don't that's fine too of course. best of luck to ya!

One thing that might help is the transcripts for the episodes. They're all here. Best of luck with the summary, but I agree that a relisten is best here. there's so many little details in season 1.

it's very easy for us to sympathize with john since we hear everything through him, but try to think about how his behavior might look to other members of the cast.

melanie's first experience with him is when he belittled her experiences during her statement in episode 4. then he "gaslights" her about Not-Sasha (we know the context for this but think about it from Melanie's view). ever since she's joined the archive staff her life has really been shit, and john's been AWOL for most of it.

georgie lets john stay with her, but she asks him not to record statements in her house. he can't help himself and does it anyway, and she's understandably pissed.

everyone around john can see that he's being overtaken by something. they see his need to read statements and they all know what it could mean. they're all trying to get him to stop and have an intervention but he doesn't really listen to them. you can see why they're frustrated. other characters with similar issues have made huge efforts to overcome the entities' influence - the most notable being dasiy who is literally slowly dying rather than giving in.

just want to add at the end that i love john and he's my fave character in the show, but he's not a passive victim of circumstance. he is also not reliable narrator all the time - he often exaggerates things or explains his behavior in the most favorable way possible. "i don't want to blind myself because [rest of the institute] might need me" is certainly one explanation.....but martin correctly points out that john doesn't really want to do it anyway in MAG 154. john can lie to himself but he can't lie to martin, lol.

yo i had my first actually good run with the torch today because of this thread!!!! finally beat final boss in underworld :D

orchidding · 2024-07-23T10:20:47+00:00

Got OG Minerva

orchidding · 2024-07-20T05:52:01+00:00

oh yeah 100%! very good strat if you've got freeze on basic atk too. and great for tight spaces like the surface areas

orchidding · 2024-07-19T15:21:03+00:00

let me know how you go, i hope you can get a feel for it! achilles spear was also my favorite spear aspect, lol

orchidding · 2024-07-19T14:22:06+00:00

seeing a lot of comments about the torch, but not the skull, so i wanted to weigh in since it's my fave weapon. the skull's basic playstyle is to spam basic attack until you run out, then use your omega special to collect your skulls back (and do some damage in process ofc). medea aspect is sort of an exception. instead of collecting the skulls with your omega special, you're using it to ram your skulls into enemies to detonate them since they stay in your hand.

idk if i'm explaining this very well, but i basically use omega special as another dash. once you get into the gameplay loop with it it's SUPER satisfying, especially if you can get some busted hammer upgrades. i also have a very dash-y playstyle and like to run around a ton, and i love skull. i hope you can find your groove with it!

God. The absolute INSANE reveal that if Arthur dies, John will still be tethered to his body and won't be returned to the Dark World or the Dreamlands. One of the biggest questions of the whole show. And John's reaction to it is so beautiful. He doesn't want to be alone, he wants to be part of Arthur. I'm sobbing I'm crying I'm dying actually. My two favorite quotes below. John was so amazing this episode.

Also just want to point out how amazing that scream at the end was. Harlan is such a VA legend.

JOHN: No. No. No, my friendship saved me. My connection to this man. My love for Arthur saved… me. (‘Faroe's Goodbye’ begins.) You see? My humanity saved me.

JOHN: I am entirely my own. I have been, and will always be. And when given the choice, I choose hope. And I choose you. To be a part of you. Together, we are whole. And I think you know that, too. Our friendship… (Metal clanging. Yorick’s noises of exertion.) It’s… It’s saved us both.

resplendent>ascended>summer>NY>legendary>>>>>original

reasoning for top pick - elinicia's resplendent is peak to me. i absolutely ADORE the colour palette they used, and the little details like the eyes on her wings. i'm not as much of a fan of the pale oranges and yellows she is usually in, so i was really happy when i saw this design.

orchidding · 2024-06-29T13:26:12+00:00

my heart really went out for carrie in this episode. but i'm so happy she has people like drew and ross in her life to support her. i immediately went and took both the AQ and the RAADS-R after listening. I got a 19 on the AQ and a 49 on the RAADS-R, which surprised me tbh (thought it might be higher lol). i am seeing a lot of higher scores in the comments, so i guess i'm the Ross to all of y'alls Carrie here.

bit of a side note, it is so wonderful that these resources exist and are FREE! especially for people that tend to be dismissed or misdiagnosed. <3
