Hey guys! quick question. I'm playing as Veles, first time player, and wondering when you're supposed to do the main quest? For example, I did the 'divine quest' part but was

Spoiler

unable to break the curse of the university board members. It was 3 skulls and I'm very early in the game. The next part of the quest sent me to The Oracle and the challenge there was 4 skulls, impossible.

Am i supposed to fail these parts? Or am I supposed to generally do the main quest later in the game when i'm more prepared? Just curious, thanks! <3

Typically you can beat the game after doing the oracle challenge, so it's more of a mid-late game thing. Both divine quest and the main quest should be doable by the time you get the 'full party' (12 characters, it's the limit on the highest difficulties), so that's a good time to do hardest parts of the main/divine quest.

should i attempt the oracle challenge early just to try it? there's no indicator of how tough it's going to be before i go. will i have multiple attempts at it if i fail? no spoilers, please.

Sure, you can try it early if you feel like it. You can retry it if you fail.

so i've been playing this lately. having a lot of fun! very good game imo. Plenty of things to craft and build, some pretty great exploration, interesting RPG mechanics & a unique card battle system that really is a lot of fun. The game is pretty chill but can also be tense at times when you're in the thick of a tough battle or trying to survive on the overworld with lots of deadly critters around. Also has a really beautiful story with charming, unique and storybook-like lore. I'd say give this one a go if you're interested in any of the factors i mentioned, because i didn't know what to expect but so far i'm really having a blast with it. Cheers! <3

So Thea is a ton of fun and I'm having a blast but I am also getting romped. I lost FIVE bodies last session, and three more the next run. Maybe I was pushing too far without having a full squad of 12 (I only had 9 at one point, now 6). Whatever it is, this game is rough. Still having huge fun playing it, I mean it's really good, but it's also quite HARD and unpredictable. Very enjoyable game but beware, heh. Cheers! <3

I'll add two very useful resources I found poking around. First, for research efficiency and recipes in spreadsheet:

This website is even more useful for checking recipes:

pd: I heard Thea 2 sucks slightly, is this true?
