Grimoire gameplay and hints thread

[Lady_Error]

the lady at the inn with the missing sister can be recruited and all her skills are retardedly high.

Did you have to bribe her with gold? I assumed she would become recruitable after you find her sister.

So what are perk keys and stuff?

I think they are for the chests with the items the backers designed.

So do you guys take Rosy or do you leave your custom character in? I took her to try her out and JESUS she's got mad skeelz.

Where exactly is she? In the superdemo she was right there in the beginning of the wilderness area.

I highly advise using your rpg notebook for Grimoire. Take notes and record important stuff. If you don't have a game notebook don't talk to me or my wife's son ever again.

It's recorded automatically in the journal, unless you switch that off for 20% more EXP.

I was having trouble with diseases and noticed my food bar never goes down.

The food bar is deactivated for now. Cleve was thinking about making it a mental health bar or something like that in V2.

 

[YES!]

No, I just hit the recruit button and she joined to help find her sister

 

[YES!]

Mordecai seems to have about 100 hit points. He gets like 7 million hits a turn so I cannot kill him, but the couple hits I got on him brought his percentage down exactly by the amount damaged.

Since this is similar to Wizardry, I'll try to guess:

• INT: Intelligence

Important for spell casters and maybe metalsmith item creation.

• WIS: Wisdom

Probably also spell casters, though maybe only clerics etc.?

• WIL: Willpower

Resistance against mind attacks, maybe some attack bonuses.

• STR: Strength

This one is obvious. Attacks and carrying capacity.

• CON: Constitution

Hitpoints and things like resistances or healing from diseases and what not.

• SPE: Speed

Who attacks first and maybe additional attacks per round.

• AGI: Agility

Dexterity and evasion of attacks.

• FEL: Fellowship (equivalent to charisma)

Recruiting and talking to NPC's.

• DEV: Devotion (equivalent to faith)

Probably something for spell casters.

• MET: Metabolism

Amount of vitality and how quickly it goes down or replenishes.

• DES: Destiny (luck, karma or both)

Can save from death in fights, "Destiny intervened".

ARMOR

• NAC: Natural Armor Class
  
• BAC: Basic Armor Class
• CAC: ???
• IAC: ???
• MAC: ???
• TAC: Total Armor Class

This stuff I cannot figure out either. C, I, M? All I know is that the higher the number, the better.

An RPG notebook? lolfag!!! Do you keep a dream journal, too? Do you write about your wittle feewings in a diary?

You have to be 18 or older to post here.

I mean for anything. Notes about important stuff you missed, stuff to remember, etc. Anything about the game.

 

[Reapa]

feels a lot like cheating.

 

[Toxic Masculinity]

If you are in front of a bush and you click USE with any character, you get some fruit.

Actually, the correct command is 'Look' not use. Use requires an item, an unfortunately, bushes aren't items.

Yes, you are right. I stand corrected. Thanks.

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

I believe that IAC means 'Inherent Armor Class'

 

[Jenkem]

how do bards work? I created a durendil bard she throws lead balls and doesn't have a lyre

 

[Reapa]

Lady Error, explain yourself. how does it not feel like cheating to get a fairy with 300+ mana and more hit points than any tank you've just created, right after starting the game? not to mention the skills.

 

[Lady_Error]

MAC is probably magical armor class reductions. Natural Armor Class is what you get from the race and class, while Inherent Armor Class or the CAC is about the regular armor.

Simple. It doesn't.

I bet she won't be able to save your ass past the beginner areas anyway, so you still have to git gud with your guys.

needs cutscenes, story, graphics

wizardry games have these. wizardry 7 the game that this is a spiritual sequel too has a pretty long cutscene at the start and a lot of story content. most dungeon crawlers/blobbers do.

• Lush Colorful 2D Hand Drawn Artwork
• Retro style MIDI music and 8 bit sound effect
  
• Multiple Beginnings, Multiple Endings
  
• 64 intelligent NPCs with 8000+ Words in Vocabulary
  
• Full Sentence Communication with NPCs
  
• Automapping, Autowalking, Autohealing

Clearly he knows how sape brains like yours work and how to market to them.

 

[agentorange]

So he spent the better part of his life making a game that appeals to the people he claims not to concern himself with. Guy sounds pretty pozzed.

 

[Great Deceiver]

Were there any in-game hints about how to get to the southern area of Shrine of the Raptor? I just did it by accident

Spoiler

put the owl figurine in the alcove

but would like to know if there was something I missed.

 

[YES!]

how do bards work? I created a durendil bard she throws lead balls and doesn't have a lyre

My bard came equipped with a sleeping lute.

 

[Shackleton]

So what am I missing on how to recruit Little Rosy? My party is struggling and could certainly use her to help me through the early slog. I guess I've got to raise her green bar but no talking seems to do it and I don't have enough gold to bribe. Is it just a case of get more gold? I've asked her about everything I can think of and she's got quite a lot to say but when I ask to join or recruit I get asked about the Vanguard and then talking about that brings info but no recruit.

 

[Great Deceiver]

Dismiss someone first.

 

[YES!]

The recruit function is an action. Change the talk bubbles to buy, sell, recruit, steal, etc.

new unworthy person here need help. 1.How do you class change you party members when they get the stats they need? 2. I have 2 people diseased and 1 paralyzed I have been to mid knight gardens and crowl village where can I get them healed?

 

[YES!]

Okay, it seems people are starting in different areas. I started in Bar Clay or something like that,with Raghilda the inn keeper lady and the missing sister in the bath temple thing. I've spent the last two hours trying to figure out how to get through the gate and nothing. I really hate not being able to figure it out myself but I've tried everything and now am pretty much broke and barely getting xp from kills. Anyone have a hint for me? I already cleared the other temple area where the acme machine is. I went through both areas with detect secrets and spent all my cash on true seeing potions and did it with them both. I've gone around a billion times and I'm not getting anything.

 

[Jaesun]

It's like Cleve programmed this game so that complete fucking idiots can't play it.

 

[Great Deceiver]

Just a helpful PSA for people who think clicking the little arrows for different actions is cumbersome - right clicking on any action gets you instant access to all verbs.
