You can buy a shmowder in dead item shop on Day 9
Day 4 here, shit is going south pretty fast
It seems the more I try to hoard, the more the game punishes me. I regret only not having time to use twyrne and explore at night
Redpill me on this game.
why do they wear the masks
I think it's randomised. I saw a Schmowder for sale on the first day of the dead item shop.
>day 8 hospital work
>stand in corner for an hour getting smothered by 50 plague clouds stacked on top of me
>but they can't actually hit me so they're just stuck there tanking my fps and making my screen completely black while my immunity goes up
Easy. Fuck I'm not looking forward to getting my ass kicked in the Termitary.
I bought the bull
How do you get the best ending?
Are there any negative consequences of killing soldiers?
So is the whole who gets infected at the end of the day randomized or supposed to happen?
Randomized with some scripted infections.
Any guide to different scenarios yet?
How many endings? Is there one for letting no one die for example?
Need to find another leash for the shmowder trade. I think he said something about the Soul and a halves having a stash somewhere but I can't find it. Where is it?
It's a shitty walking sim
Its a walking sim but actually good
As far as we know there are 3 different endings: Theater, Nocturnal and Diurnal. I don't think there is a madman who managed to save everyone and tell the tale so who knows what happens.
Is it even possible though? Doesn't Aglaya die no matter what?
pls respond
>Day 9
>tinctures are losing effectiveness at protecting from the plague, only bumping it up to around 50/50 unless you give them an advanced tincture
>Sticky and Notkin both get infected despite giving them tincture
>have to use my last 2 shmowders to cure them
>now Capella is in danger, Lara is infected with no remaining cure, and it's implied that even the graveyard is infected now
>after I had Grace remain in the graveyard rather than hand her over to town hall, figuring it was safer than being in town
this is spiraling out of control. please tell me I'll get more serum soon. I don't have enough bartering items to get another shmowder even if I manage to find a kid who has one
It is randomized.
I could buy schmowder on day 1 for 40 barter points.
I then replayed day 2 twice because I mismanaged my time and could buy beef one time, and canned food another.
where is the kid who wanted to make that trade? does he stick around, or do you miss the opportunity if you don't make the trade when it's first offered?
You don't really have time for anything but the main mission and hoarding in this game.
I get that food is precious and that Haruspex is a big guy, but he eats for like 20k calories a day.
Yeah, when i mean everyone i mean the people that can be saved. I assume Aglaya's death is the same situation as Eva and might not count for whatever you get if you save everyone, if it even exists.
He sticks around. Hes at the nutshell. Think he appeared on day 4 and im on day 6
If I get bored of long exposition to the point of getting angry, should I steer clear of this game?
you'll only ever get infodumped on if you explicitly ask a character for an explanation on something, and even then they might just lie to you or tell you to fuck off
otherwise it's largely just dialogue between you and whoever
endings were lackluster
>Day 6
>Saburovs wife is going mad and he tell me to talk to her
>go to her him to talk to her
>talk to her
>now when I try to leave both doors have an X icon and I can't get either open
Am I missing something? Assuming this is a glitch but it seems kind of strange. If I reload my save in her room before I talked with her I can leave just fine.
dang i lost the last thread there were a lot of good tips in it, some guy claimed to have gotten to day 12
>some guy claimed to have gotten to day 12
huh? several anons have finished the game, I myself did it last night.. it's not some monumental feat.
Huh? It's possible to not get to day 12?
I think I am just going to restart the game and murder as many people as possible before the reputation reset on day 1 evening.
there were just great tips nowhere else out here has the live tips you know how to beat video games and stuff like what stuff to trade to get money or food or all that
good tips
The game ends on Day 11 if you take the no penalties on death on 7th death
ok thanks for the tips
this play already has a director, some of us don't feel we should spoil his work
good tips thanks
what do you mean ends on day 11?
Where THE FUCK is the part for the pocket upgrade?
This glitch sounds pretty common. You're like the fifth user I've seen complain about it. Try contacting IPL.
I'm on day 4 my first game. Hunger meter is busted, it should easily be half the speed with these prices. Hunting for food literally ruins the immersion because you play like pac-man.
day 4 is when food seems like it is not big problem with Lara giving a you a lot on that day and you getting a daily food/money bonus for healing people.
never mind literally just found it
This. Hunger in general seems really poorly implemented. I think its really just going to put new people off at the start of the game and like you said after Day 4 you get a shitton of food everyday for doing hospital shifts so it ends up not mattering.
What happens to your various meters when you die? Are health, thirst, hunger, exhaustion and immunity all reset? Does dying cure the plague?
t. haven't died yet, infected, will probably die before nightfall
Is day 12 as challenging as it was un pathologic 1?
Is playing the first one necessary?
no day 12 is literally walking simulator mode
Give it a years for people to figure it out.
Whats the name of the song that plays in the opening of the game when its day 12? The song with lyrics, like when youre going to the cathedral?
dieing has a consequence, the more you die the more it effects. I dont know what it does though...
Whats the name of the song that plays in the opening when you go through the town at day 12 to the cathedral? It has some basic lyrics?
Who knows? First guess: Keep every single bound of all 3 characters alive
Is it as confusing, criptic and interesting as the first one?
As if you had any cause to worry that it wouldn't be
I just helped those kids burying the little doll and all those big birds showed up.
Did I fuck up?
Why the fuck do I need to eat so much fucking food?
user...
Are the rolls for character deaths/infections done at the start of the day? I gave sticky the best antibiotic I had but he still died because the needle landed right at the very bottom. No matter what I do by reloading saves and doing different thing all the needles all land in the same places no matter what. I basically have to use a shmowder on him to keep him from dying.
What have you done? WHAT HAVE YOU DO-
What's wrong? What did I do?
may be a scripted failure
But ALL the characters have their needles stop in the exact same positions no matter what I do. Either these rolls at midnight aren't random and they're all predetermined or they're rolled at the very start of the day.
Thanks, that's very informative.
The consequences are reductions to your different meters, ie, you start starving faster, but that's not what I asked.
id assume they're rolled at start of day, or start of game maybe...
how do you know who is bound to you? i don't get it
Every thread
It's obviously b8. Stop biting it.
I've played yesterday for the first time. 10 hours in one sitting and it left me in ptsd.
It's all over might as well start a new game
You aren't supposed to dig into the mother boddho, khatanghe
>Are the rolls for character deaths/infections done at the start of the day?
Something like that yes. You cant save scum a day to get the survivors you want.
You can't play Day 12 and you get a shitty ending on Day 11
Anyone else noticed that on day 2, the children imitated minor events from day 1?
Like that group of kids that want to play pretend burn the witch?
what in the actual fuck is artemy's TDEE if eating 5 times his body weight in fish, bread and nuts every hour still won't sate his ravenous hunger
tbf i wouldnt be filled on two fish for long, especially running around
is knock knock good? never hear people talking about it in IPL threads
for me it's toast. Artemy eats a shitton of toast
he's running around all fucking day, dude eats like 20k calories near the end
I played it and it is very creepy and interesting. I would recommend it if you enjoy Pathologic and strange creepy stuff.
>sometimes kids gather by the train station at night
>sometimes the kin visit Aspity's place at night
is there an actual point to these? I've been going out of my way to visit them both every night and it's always just pointless shit that doesn't help me in any way
Can I play this if I haven't played the previous ones?
They operate in infected areas of the city. Is either a gas mask or an improvised rag. Which one would you?
Day 10 kino, kino ending, kino ost that happens when you make the panacea or witness the ending, real affection / attachment with characters through dialogues, especially women, even the less expected ones, amazing world background, everything about the game makes you ponder what the fuck are you even playing videogames
Gotta kill soldiers. The one standing in front of the crude sprawl's Aspity hospice
So, on Day 5, is it scripted to you not getting any funds that day? Or did i F up by not administering painkillers to the theater people? I healed them all correctly, but the painkillers screwed me?
My god what have you done, jesus christ
Unless it's randomized, increased twyre sell prices:
Day 1 Brown
Day 2 Brown
Day 3 Blood
Day 4 White Whip
Day 5 Black
Day 6 Ashen Swish
Day 7 Swevery
Day 8 White Whip
Day 9 Ashen Swish
Day 10 Blood
You do not know his Lines. Earth will swallow you whole, spawn of Suok.
Don't buy the bull
Is it even a good idea to sell herbs? Seems very limited and tinctures are very important.
I go out to the steppe to gather swevery and as a result I get tons of the other herbs. Medrel+ and the occasional immunity booster is enough to keep me healthy, and I brew enough of the others for diagnostics.
of you visit the twyre hotspots outside town, you’ll be rolling in herbs
except for swevery. that one is particularly elusive, which is unfortunate considering that you need it for the high-tier tinctures
Your a big guy
Big guys eat big
Game tells you that you need to do your duties at the hospital to get fund next day
what about the day when you have to stay in the hospital for an hour? I left after the time was up but it told me I failed and wouldn't be getting paid
do you listen to the herbs khatangher? swevery makes a rattling noise
>abandoning your shift at hospital before your relief comes
Do you have no shame?
how long do they take to get there?
is it me or this game is unoptimised as fuck ?
Slightly longer, around 80 minutes
Neither because they are completely ineffective.
Actually there 5 endings.
Childs, Bodho, Hero, Actor, Death. Dunno how get another but Death. Just get a pact with Grave-man, u 'now.
Hotspots? Do tell. I only know of the village in the bottom right.
Worry not, emshen. I am learning the Lines.
it is, turning the shadows all the way down unfucked the performance for me
doesn't really look any worse either
If the plague is spreading by air and the main method to get infected is by breathing, I suppose that gas masks would be quite effective provided that they can filter those huge black particles in the air
I never noticed that dead characters show up in the gameover theater. They only have 1 or 2 lines but I kind of want to get everyone killed to see what they say.
Mask blocks black clouds
Boots reduce passive infectiom from being there
Gloves reduce infection from looting
Cloak i am not sure but probably affects everything
>tfw found 3 shmowders in the caches on day 2
you son of a bitch
You double odongh.
Here I was happy that I managed to get a third shmowder by day 7.
You still would go to steppe for weed.
So why not visit nearby places?
No
no, and soldiers dont loot either so you can avoid combat completely and get free shit if you get people into fights
>this is no longer a store, it's a shrine
Well that was worth it... I guess.
>morning of day 7
>3:50
>got a shmowder and 2 army rations from dead item shop
>heading to the village to whisper in the ear
>pick herbs along the way
>clock hits 7:30
>quest dissapears
DId I fuck up?
I think this game would have benefited a lot if they made a distinction between the main quest and other quests like in the first game. As is you could completely fuck yourself out of important stuff because you wanted to go do other things which turned out to be complete wastes of time.
Most Main quests are im the middle and are bigger than the rest on the journal.
>a broken watch sells more than food and medicine in a town suffering from a plague with no support from the outside
Yeah it's retarded. 1.7k for a broken watch and a mere 50 shekels for newly brewed medicine. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Anyone got that map someone made of the best places to gather herbs?
The ends of the small river and the rock formations in the south.
Because time is a methaphysical concept in the town. You'll come to touch time yourself if you're brave enough to climb the cathedral
>got infected
>have 1 shmowder
>two kids are gonna be rolling the infection tonight
W-What do?
All the blood I collected in the abattoir went out of my inventory when I crawled up the well. I guess I won't ever get a Panacea.
Know the lines and cut
Heal yourself. The Plague will eventually kill you unless you deal with it first.
What, the kids?
Are there any downsides to harvesting all the herbs in the abandoned village?
Happened to me too
Reload user and drop some things before going in
No
>sleep until you hit midnight
>see where the needles land on the kids
>if one of them lands really low then reload and use a shmowder on them
Fuck, the hunger is really punishing. I am on day 9 and since day 6 I always manage with just the right amount of food to almost never lose any hp, but I constantly have the bar almost full and have to spend a few hours every Day trying to get it.
I prepped the bull
Can I kill and eat the bull?
Does notkin always get infected on day 3/4
Yes
About to finally play this game. Just saw there's a "backer rewards" item in the settings, any interesting codes worth entering there?
You have to write them before starting a New game for them to work
Yes, I was just searching for such codes before I began, thank you dear user.
>talk to Rubin while he's sleeping
>the dialogue explicitly says he's not dead
>come morning he's dead
wooooooow
>DAY 5
>Gave everyone immunity boosts and antib
>Hunger at max
>Health at zero
>Money at 100, nothing to trade
Do i have to fucking restart this shit ? When i die from hunger it sends me back to last saved spot at the clock with no chance of getting food.
>>Gave everyone immunity boosts and antib
You could've traded those for food, you know. Always take care of yourself first.
wooooooow
I went to the town hall to get my "fund". Guy says the money is in the locker but when i loot it it's empty. Do i really have to hoard food like crazy from day 1. Also i can't loot houses bc slavs squat inside and shank me immediately.
So what exactly does the mute curse do? Does it cause any significant changes to the story?
Also, the game's telling me the Eighth is in danger, are they fucked?
>I did the same thing
oh god what's gonna happened
You are always in danger
>Also i can't loot houses bc slavs squat inside and shank me immediately.
It's relatively easy to stunlock enemies in this game 1v1 (I've done it plenty of times with a 0 durability knife) and if there's any thugs nearby in the house you'll hear them pretty easily. I don't think they open doors unless they spot you first so if you're careful you can loot a bunch of rooms before encountering any and I occasionally see guards in the house to that get into fights with the bandits so if you hear a constant loop of sound clips that's probably what's happening.
Anyone know what triggers this one? Or does it come automatically when the quest comes?
forgot pic
You mean the door? That just pops up when you make a choice that locks out part of a quest. I'm guessing you didn't make Grace talk to your father. I've never gotten her to commune with him so I have no idea what happens.
I want want her to hurt, so I figured it was for the best. I'm guessing talking to him triggers it.
If I pull it off will he die?
yes
Various SPOILERS
>The world itself is the body of Bos Turokh, whose "Lines" give it shape and form - infinite potentiality of emptiness is separated by limits and boundaries which define its individuated parts
>The menkhu is a holy man who knows and follows the Lines which are fractalized down to smaller udurghs such as the town itself
>The Town itself is an udurgh of its own Lines such as its streets and individual buildings which have been carefully crafted towards the purpose of overcoming the boundary of the river. Man no longer FOLLOWS the Lines but attempts mastery over them as a transcendental act of overcoming limitation itself, all limitation, including time and death
>Butchery, architecture, even drawing are all divine acts that mimic the first act of Creation.
I love this game so much.
Did everything for the day except meet the bachelor, but I think it triggers the outbreak.
Should I go there and then loot a bit when I get into the infected district? Seems like I've got a bit of time on my hands.
That would hurt your teeth
Should I buy the bull?
A talking bull sounds pretty cool.
>except for swevery
I consistently find more swevery than normal herbs
I bet you thought this sounded really smart with your pseud image too to top it off
I'm literally summarizing what the game explicitly tells you, you fucking imbecile.
Its a black bull for 200 steppe cuck bux
It can fuck your wife
how do I "seriously barter with a man or woman"? I keep giving them parts of me but I always never get to "seriously" barter
also whats up with the nonstop starvation?
Wat?
must be random, because I also find a shitton of swevery while I've only found ashen swish around the graveyard and I haven't found a single white whip yet.
Burahk is a big guy
I've only ever found white whip from the roots
some herb bride said that white whip only grows on infected places/places that have been infected in the past but I haven't found any yet either
Someone in game told me that white whip only spawns naturally in infected districts.
>how do I "seriously barter with a man or woman"?
Just barter normally. That's how I completed the quest. I think you need an adult man, an adult woman, a teen, and a small child.
can any of you confirm if ashen swish only grows around the graveyard, that's the only place I've found it
4 U
I think I've found it elsewhere. Next time you go to the twyrine hotspots just check if there's any when you're done.
But do i have to restart now ? Fuck i thought being a medic was the most important, guess being a fat gluttonous pig is above all else.
You have to trade with them i.e you swap items, you don't just give them something for nothing.
Find an adult man, barter with them, and a dialog should start when you exit where you give them some abstract gift. Then do the same with a woman.
>start playing
>nothing makes sense
At least my legs are okay. What the hell is this game and what's happening? Why is all dialog indecipherable?
How much damage do shmowders do anyway?
Hunger in this game is absolutely retarded, they have to fix it even a little bit because it's infuriating. The main complaint from everyone it seems, what the fuck were they thinking ?
>Why is all dialog indecipherable?
That's what happens when you first get into a story in media res (in the middle of things.) Your first time playing you're going to be confused since everything's moving along while you have no idea what's what.
>constant shill threads
fuck off already
PRAISE BE TO SUOK! DOWN WITH BOS TUROKH!
Just eat more retard.
I only took it once with like 1 hp and I did not die, so it does not really matter because it will never kill you
Haruspex is just a fatty
Ok Fat Vlad.
>Pathologic
>ever being easy
You're a fool if you thought this game wasn't going to absolutely rape you as you play.
Is sleeping while hungry bad? It feels like a waste when I eat a bunch and then wake up with starving again.
Is Fat Vlad scripted to die even if you settle the schism between within the steppe people? I know he always died in Bachelor's story in 1 so I'm wondering if it's the same in 2.
>Is sleeping while hungry bad?
Yes. If the hunger bar hits full it'll start draining your HP which could kill you in your sleep if you sleep for too long since there's no way to 'wake up' once you've selected the amount of time you want to pass.
So Bos Turokh is basically confirmed as existing for real? Is it the same for Suok?
just press escape lmao
Didn't you finish the game?
Only just heard that it released, user. I haven't been keeping up at all.
Every save you have made so far is still there. Just go back as far as you need to.
Playing the original, what shit do I give little girls for trading for the shmowder? I only have 2 hooks I can give them and I think needles work but all I'm finding are empty bottles in dumpsters. On day 3 and so far only have 2 of them.
YOU CAN SPEAK TO THE BVLL ON DAY 11
IT WILL TELL YOU SOMEWHERE TO GO
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE ???
I said SPOILERS there for a reason, finding this stuff out bit by bit for yourself is a treat. Especially when it's a reward inbetween you being on the verge of death.
Also playing as the Bachelor If that makes any difference.
Assuming that I don't get absolutely demolished by real life shit, I might go ahead and buy the game to see it all for myself.
I did every single thing on day 1 and day 2, just to know that it didn't matter at all and i burned through my supplies doing so.
I got demolished right after finishing the first one way back, it's thematically appropriate. I didn't spoil what's real and isn't btw, just admiring the thought put into the steppe mythology.
>read steam reviews
>everyone keeps saying is a le buggy and janky russian game xd
>have yet to experience any real bugs in almost 30 hours of play
It's just because it's not some "ebin fast-paced action shooter" or some shit like that. Actual fans of Pathologic recognize the style of the ganeplay and the uber-lethality from the instant they start playing.
Hey guys, what does the leash do?
yeah the combat isn't janky its just that the 'lol i spin u around when you look away' mechanic is kind of unfair since it pretty much happens automatically if you try to run away from any hostile within a certain distance.
You can trade it for a shmowder
A-Anyone?
Gives: “Shmowder” (10)*, Lockpick (5), Meradorm (2), Beta-tablets (6), Alpha-tablets (1), Gamma-tablets (4)
Takes: Hazelnut (2), Walnut (2), Peanut (1), Hook (1), Flower (1), Needle (1)
How the fuck am I supposed to survive in the Abattoir? Do I just need to run for it the whole way?
sneak (c) then combo till they die
turn off sneaking after first hit, you need ot do it manually
just go for back thumps, it usually stunlocks them. if not, remember blocking completely negates punch damage. by the time you reach the double worms, you should have the knife you get from the herb hoochies
if you sneak then first worm dies before the second reaches you
i tried that but it seems pretty spotty. the aggro range of mobs is quite big.
>if not, remember blocking completely negates punch damage
Except these guys has an unblockable attack that does a ton of damage if it hits you while blocking and leaves you dazed so they can get more hits in afterwards and kill you.
Anybody else is stuck with talk to fat guy's daughter? This shit showed up after I already talked with her and won't go away now.
1. For the quest where you gather your old friends on the 3rd day I think, there is a quest marker for it on the Kains residence. Is that a bug or am I missing something?
2. And is there a place to safely store items before you get the warehouse?
1. Rubin is there
2. You can store shit safely at Lara's place, I assume you can too at Vlad's and Grief's
>Lara, Grief, Notkin and one of the Stamatins (the faggy one) all got infected on the same night
I'm not getting out of this with everyone alive, aren't I?
What the fuck made you think that? Birdface literally tells you several times, as well as the loading screen.
Rubin's house also has some storage space and is a bit more centrally located.
The power of lines and BVLL on my side?
>he bought the bull
Help me yet, y-you'll see...
He will, that is. The plague is devouring entire words now.
What the fuck am I supposed to do in the abattoir? I killed the w*rms, got the living Blood and made the heart. After speaking to it I am stuck in there. Which dialogue option am I supposed to choose?
> Trying to do the Abattoir with half health no bandages and a lockpick is not working.
Does draining blood from someone alive kills him?
Nope. No reputation penalty for it either.
anyone doing a speedrun soon?
Jump into the pit in front of the altar.
Oh. Right. I am retarded
How close to the original vision did it get? I've been out of the loop, what exactly was added to it compared with the original?
Would have loved an extended steppe.
Did you dissect your steppe waifu? If you didn't then you gotta go back to that first time you saw chicks dancing around the plague and go around the plague to where all the chicks are.
Can't talk to Bad grief or the inquisitor at the Cathedral despite finishing bads task and being told to speak with the inquisitor on day 10. Think it's bugged, fuck.
Is there any place to get nuts, do shops sell them? I only ever get fucking bottles and razor blades from dumpsters.
Trade an item for an item of theirs. You should be in a trade deficit for it to count. Don't worry, you can always BUILD A BIG, BEAUTIFUL WALL AND MAKE THE KAINS PAY FOR IT later.
What even causes that? Is it getting hit, or combat officially beginning?
how do I beat those ugly faced cunts in the termitary?
Are pills supposed to be stronger than homemade antibiotics? I'm testing this shit on Lara and the stuff from infected organs is like half as strong as regular pills.
if on of my listies just randomly dies because of RNG BS is my game fucked? Is there any point in trying to save the rest of them?
How the fuck do you summon the train?
stand at the curved southern most railtrack end and stand there for a few seconds
You're not fucked so long as you're alive and there's someone in the town worth saving.
lmao
simply lmao
You probably need to wait like, 10 or 15 seconds, to be clear.
this isn't Fire Emblem, you don't have to restart every time someone dies. you'll never finish if you do. roll with your punches and make the best of a bad situation.
do what you can.
"If you go into the Inspector through SHIFT + CTRL + F4, under >UnityEngineInfo there is a line called TimeScale with the default setting 1. You can edit this line, but I haven't tested."
I took this from the forum. Could one of you Anons check this and tell me if this actually works? I don't have access to my PC right now, and this is one thing I would change in the game.
no it isn't, the fucking loading screens themselves say you cant save everyone
>not changing hunger
It's a simple request.
I've been going off the assumption that it works like the first game, so basically if any of the kids die then yeah you're fucked but anyone else is dying is an acceptable loss.
There are five levels of homemade antibiotics. Depends on which one you're using. I'm not sure what level the pills are.
>tfw on day 10 the plague stops fucking around and infects all the people on the list
On the plus side talking to the 8th name on the list cured my infection at least.
N-NANI?!
Welp, guess that's why you note which organ they're made from. I'll, uh, just feed the kidney one to Grief...
Fuck me I don't have 6 shmowders.
LaughingSuok.jpg
How the hell did you get 6 shmowders already? I've gotten like 4 and had to use 2 already.
>plague clouds don't look like skulls anymore
SOULLESS
I said I didn't, though I do have 3.
>tfw got 4 by day 8
>had to use them all
You can probably just change it in \Data\VirtualMachine\PathologicSandbox\action.xml so it persists. I think it's GeneralTimeSpeedFactor, or something like that.
There's 11 values you have to change because time speeds up, you bitch.
You can trade with grown men for them. Groceries sell them as well.
>implying the old visual wasn't cartoony as fuck
The real problem is that the Polyhedron doesn't change colors, like the artbook said they wanted to do.
Just for confirmation's sake, wasn't the Polyhedron attached to the earth in the original? Here it's just the stairs, but in the original it was hated because it bore into the earth.
Maybe when Bachelor's route comes out. R-Right?
it says in the people section

Not gonna make it.
We discuss the fujo menace every thread, dude.
Is there only a haruspex playthrough or can you play as other chracters after?
Do I take the inheritance in day 2? I did because I felt like it but then Lara told me not to because of what Haruspex's father had to do because of his duty. I feel like reloading.
Only Haruspex for now. The other two are coming >soon.
bachelor and changeling are coming as dlc episodes down the road, whether they will be free or not depends on sales
russian economic crisis fucked up things hard
Do Odonghs have different organs than people?
I don't want to kill an innocent odogn but I want to find out.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter and you will be following in your father's footsteps for a good portion of the story regardless.
The important question is whether Lara knows anything. Lara doesn't know shit.
Don't be quick to reload, either way. You felt like it, so stick with it.
>he killed bunch of soldiers, so now his hands are covered in blood
cool detail
>going into House of Death for no particular fucking reason
This happened to me on two occasions in different places user. There's a lot of places you can't come back into after you've been there.
I had to reload because after I Saburov sent me to talk to his wife and she gave me her crazy rant I couldn't leave the room it was blocked but there was nothing else I could do.
Why would you enter them if you're not planning to resolve the story shit in them before leaving? That's why I immediately jumped to House of Death, you hear the lock click and it's brought up in dialogue.
This bug is too common. At this point, I fear it will become a meme.
Your picture is out of date. They got up all the way to lucid dreaming.
Can't tell you about the extended steppe yet, since I haven't played that much, but the town itself has a shit ton of little events to stumble over. More than you could manage to see in one playthrough I think.
And lucid dreaming is in too, when you fall asleep you might meet and talk to the rat prophet for example.
>keep restarting game
>find new shit in the tutorial each time
Pretty much sums up the entire game.
So any gameplay ways to make big bucks discovered yet? Im only at day 3 and im starting to starve, there is barely enough time to visit all marks, check some trash bins on the way and mostly are empty, and then sleep a couple hours. I heard something about farming herbs but it seems to be only 50-100 a piece and I dont have real life hours to farm any decent sum. Barely getting by and I dont think it will get easier, passed the curing tutorial, you need a truck of opiates, a couple tinctures at best, and specific antibiotics, i dont have all that shit and probably nevet will. Tried visiting infected houses, most containers are locked and I dont have immunity to visit more than a couple of them. How the fuck do you make the ends meet? Its hard just to keep your hunger at bay let alone waste huge chunk of resources on curing people and all the other shit. There are not enough barter items out there so past couple days barter doesnt save your day anymore. Send train.
Yeah I did that in the end. Didn't want to invalidate my choice.
They didn't make it termitary and abattior? Don't you go in them though? Or were they gonna be fleshed out more.
>Why would you enter them if you're not planning to resolve the story shit in them before leaving?
I did resolve the story shit, still you can't enter them after, and any loot in them is lost.
They're in the game, and better than in the original, but they were gonna be fleshed out a lot more if they reached that stretch goal. More side quests and that kind of stuff.
This should be your day 1 or you're not doing it right. Your nights after should be spent on the steppe getting herbs, and from day 4 on ward you prioritize maxing your fun. Between those two things and hoarding food, you should be set.
Heal people. You actually get paid very well for it.
You can make decent money by selling herbs, but only if you get lucky and they're paying for any of the common herbs.
Forgot pic.
They were in the original too, termitory for sure, but pretty basic. They are locked from the beginning of the game though, I havent yet played much but in the original iirc you visit it briefly for some quest later on. I guess the goal meant making them into a full fledged unique districts with people and activities, not just some quick small quest location (or maybe nothing at all).
how????
On the first day, after getting a couple scalpels and while you're still hated by everybody, chop up the three guys you killed coming into town and sell their organs. They're in an empty lot south of Vlad's.
Thank you so much, user. The game speed is the only thing that always bothered me, both in Classic and in Pathologic 2. I HATE having to hurry up in a "moody" game.
There's nothing impressive about really. Day 1 is just a lot of running around hoarding water and buying and hoarding tons of food.
I feel like I didn't get to properly "know" any of the characters, except Oyun.
Is this intentional, or did I just fuck up their quests somehow?
I had a bit less food but whats the point if it will only last you a couple days at best? You have no money left and as far as i see there is no decent way to make money yet, how are you gonna afford all the heal items for yourself to raid infected districts and plot characters, some clothes and maybe weapons for occasional fights? This food will run out quick, it only gets more expensive and rare as time passes by. This inventory isnt a long term solution. Also there isnt much time to wander in the steppes since there is so much things to do even if you remove hunger, and you still need at least 4-5 hours of sleep.
On Day 6 or 7 the hospital quest is is to bring in 4 survivors from outside the theatre but there are only 3. I even went to a plague district and it wont let me take survivors from there. Is this just some BS quest meant to be incompletable and waste my time running around the theatre?
You only really fucked up their quests if they died or got infected. Even then, I wonder if some characters are just fated to die.
Anyhow, it's intentional. Haruspex is just a third of the story, Bachelor and Clara will have different interactions with every single character.
... did you check INSIDE the theater?
Yes... wait... fuck?
The upper floor, actor.
user I'm on day 9 now and none of what you said applied to me. You can continue to hoard food all through the first 5 days, the inflation doesn't start getting drastic until around say 6 onward and then on day 8 you can't buy food anymore anyway. Once you get your base unlocked after day 2 EVERY SINGLE NIGHT should be spent in the steppe, period, gathering herbs. If you do this, you will achieve three things:
>you can sell excess herbs at the bar and get some food from him too, use that money to buy even more food
>more importantly, use the medicine you make to diagnose and treat patients to max out your fun, which gives you a VERY big reward for even more food. You will need to trade for antibiotics to do this at first though, but you can make your own later
>A whole bunch of tincture+ which you will use not just to keep your bound safe, but you go through infected districts to loot/trade/harvest infected blood/treat people
This game is all about momentum. If you don't build up the proper momentum in the first half of the week, you'll fail before ever making it to the later half. And even then, no matter how well you do int he first half of the week, things will go VERY BATSHIT from day 9 onwards.
So, are there just 2 endings?
Did the nuke the polyhedron one, because its his canon ending in 1. Is the other better? oh well, im going to try it again
Also, i saw some screencaps with rat prophet, but for me he only appeared in like one scene with Katarina. Where was he?
is there any point even looting houses?
I mean you ruin your reputation with a district for what? 30 coins from a drawer and a pair of broken scissors? Or you have to waste immunity potions to steal a chisel and a match from a plague house or you just buttfucked by 3 bandits in a dead zone house. There is nothing even good in houses.
Plague houses have great loot which I only loot when rescuing a baby.
He was right outside of Grace's crypt for me when I was saving her from the corpses.
Houses are worth it in infected districts but I don't bother with regular ones.
infected houses have pretty good loot, and they help you buy out dead item shop stuff
Just make sure you avoid infected drawers and you should be able to loot entire houses as long as you watch out for infected people
I heard that a lit lantern keeps infection clouds away too
If I leave stashes around in different houses, like Fat Vlad's house or Lara's house will they stay there or dissapear over time?
Yes,there are only two endings: Diurnal and Nocturnal endings.
There's also the game over/you fucked up ''ending''.
only if you place them inside the containers
>Fat Vlad's
yes, 100% secure
>Lara's house
only one of her containers will keep your items across days
Lara's cabinets will refresh at one point but otherwise they should be fine.
Well damn, then what's the replay value if you got both those endings?
For my next playthrough Im considering looting normal houses in districts that will get infected soon since reputation doesnt really matter for infected ones. Neither it does for the normal ones desu, all you get is access to random houses for a bit of barter at night and access to shops which are all over the place anyway, i think its worth ruining reputation with a district or two if you have spare lockpicks and nothing better to do. Thats the hardest part, there is so little time that deliberately going for looting raids is kind of a rare activity.
will this game run on a toaster at all? like even with the most shitter of settings? I want to play pathologic 2 but I already played the first one years ago and that game is autistic enough without also fighting against performance, is it really that bad?
changeling and bachelor when they release
>Day 4 of the HD version as Bachelor
>Have to set up somewhere treat infected
>Rescue both the guy for the theatre and Cathedral
>Talk to the people outside both who say they'll get the places set up
>Quickly look around both places since it mentions about inspecting them
>Go back to Vlad
>No dialogue option
Am I missing something here? The only thing I havent done this day other then finishing the quest was kill the guys who ditched the criminal guys crew and started murdering people.
It really can't be that far off, can it? The Bachelor route I mean, since they showed that one off the most.
You need to wait for the bigger patch.
fug
>release hipster walking sim
>the only people who can play it are people who bought their computer to play AAA shit and don't give a fuck about saving russian children from starvation as erik satie music plays
damn, what an absolutely masterful marketing plan, no wonder the pathologic 2 is outselling avengers: endgame.
how is this one compared to the first
Same organs.
a game that will never be good no matter how many times they rerelease, remake or remaster it
She'll be roight m8, you can just wait for the vita port.
Rubin waa my there for me :( I think because I went directly to his house instead. And I tried using laras cabinet for storage, but I lost my items when she gives you food in there.
t. rps
Should I buy the bull? What does it do?
don't ask questions and buy it
Maybe you should play the game for yourself and see, instead of asking to be spoonfed on Day 1.
I'm on day 3, bull is still on sale.
Pls respond
How do I unite the kin in the terminary?
In my thoughts menu it says "some things aren't bound to happen" when I did something.
Did I enter somekind of failure state through my dialogue?
It means you're no longer able to complete that quest.
shut up
It really comes in handy in one or 2 situations
others are overrating it a bit, but its quite useful
nah, it means you did other choice, it would turn yellow if you failed it
Buy this game right now! Or if you have, buy again for your friends! Don't let the Town die.
Thanks friend, didn't know i could do that.
It means you made a choice, knowing it or not.
i did buy it but i'm nervous to play it and kind of tired cus i've been awake since 11:30 last night
>he thinks optimization issues this big, that have been plaguing the game since its first fucking tech demo, will be fixed
>Says u can use muddy water to make tinctures but u can't.
is this a bug ? the developers needs to fix that asap
Well done, Khatanger. Just go with the flow, if everything goes to shit, just go as far as you can. Failure is interesting too. Also, the town is wonderful, or dare I say, comfy.
Why not, are they not capable?
They have to optimize it ANYWAY, to make it run properly on the Xbone.
>caring about filthy Bos Turokh worshipers
Haha, no.
To be fair, we came a LONG fucking way from the Marble Nest running at negative fps.
t. ruskie
There is only one God and She is no Bull. You know it in your hearts to be true.
>Why not, are they not capable?
This shit has been in development for five years, dude.
I will grant this.
>never had enough water for tinctures
>day 8
>everything is either infected or devastated
>no details to fix the pumps
>all the barrels are empty, aside from probably Oyun's
>people are getting infected left and right and I don't even have any tinctures left

HELP
I played bits of the first game but never beat it because of real life shit. Do I need to go back and beat it?
Yes.
No
pathologic 2 pretty much replaces the first one.
What do you have to lose?
Ask the bull.
Why didn't they use Unreal Engine instead?
Is there a way to take over the Kin without violence? I refused to kill anyone because I don’t have the resources for a big fight, and now I’ve got a quest marker at the Termitary that I can’t do anything with
why should they?
Should I play 1 before this? I bought into it thinking it was a remake but now I hear its a sequel?
I'm on day 7 and i's getting brutal. These levels of diffuculty are literally surreal.
>now I hear its a sequel?
where did you hear this bullshit?
Post the cute girls already
here
It is a remake, the story just has some changes and added content in it.
it's a take two of the original game. in pretty much every way.
I think this guys trolling
maybe it's my paranoia but there looks like someone really hate this game and says it's shit and samefag as the guy always asking if you have to play one.
I knew i shouldn't have smoked
>Call it Pathologic 2
>Surprised people think they need to play the OG game
This will happen every thread, just because of that shitty decision.
Got to day 5, but restarting because i fucked around too much. Any tips that would help a poor menkhu like me?
Oh yea, didn't saw it with that angle, that seems logic
I think I liked the first game more.
Haruspex's route was the comfiest in the original so the absolute nightmare difficulty in this along with the story tweaks really takes a long time to get used to, as good as the game is.
I miss the old game's music.
What the fuck am I suppose to do on day 4 of the Bachelor's route to check the cathedral and theatre are sanitary? I talk to the guys outside each after finding the fags with keys but it doesn't update my journal nor does Vlad have any new dialogue, or his son.
>have to take a break because the game's too stressful
MARRY HER!
Why are you restarting? Some situations do require a restart but other things, like starving, can be worked with.
unity is hard to optimize
Please help I just want to do Bachelor before moving onto 2.
She looks the poster child of the "finns are white" meme.
didnt do a daily task for doctoring but healed everyone, so i wasted all my supplies for that day and have no money/food, plus wasted a lot of time, didnt know time went by in inventory for a while, and lost a few items in Lara's house :(
Finns are from the Urals, so yeah. Steppeniggers all look like that.
I hope you at least bought the bull...
So is there anything special in the steppes? How big is it? Any particular direction to go or you just wander around praying to bull for good herb spawn?
The graveyard, the swampy delta area, the abandoned village and the stone formations all have good herb spawns. There isn't much else in the open areas.
>tfw have to take breaks because the constant stuttering and fps drops gives me a migraine
horrible optimization
janky gameplay
incoherent sound design
questionable narrative pacing
communist color pallet
masochistic meter managment
9/10
(once it leaves beta)
The game actually does a good job at guiding you towards most of the good spots out there. Just pay attention to the buzzing.
I need more
Literally every girl in the game except for Clara and Maria is cute.
>have to take a break because I'm too scared of letting down my gaggle of kids
You can get one on Day 2 in the playground near the Theatre by playing hide and seek.
You can get another on Day 4 by trading the leash for a powder in Nutshell.
They can be found in children's stashes sometimes, at the Dead Item store and lets say between 1/10 - 1/15 when trading with little girls each day.
The marshes, the rock formations, and the graveyard. The abandoned village has three little herb gardens too.
Why does Clara look like a cancer patient in this game? She was literally perfect before.
Post yfw you talk to a little girl and she has a shmowder.
Shotgun where?
because she is literally cancer incarnate
grief sells one on day 4/5, its like 11000 steppebucks
It might have something to do with her other half being literally cancer, but who knows. It's unfortunate.
Kill a soldier.
>you are actually 1 item short of being able to buy it
OK so now that we discussed Clara. Why the fuck is Maria so ugly in this game? Literally low budget latino porn face. Maria in the original was as beautiful as it gets with those low poly models. Even the photo had a real nice looking woman as far as i can remember.
You can load an earlier save if you want. Personally, I wouldn't restart until you actually get into a loop of dying every 5 minutes.
Because she's a giant thot.
>tfw Got 4 shmowders on day 4
>Why didn't they use Unreal Engine instead?
Probably to not deal with Ebin Games and their infinite retardness.
What am i supposed to do in the abbatoir? Worms following me 2 shotting me, no items.
she's an insane BPD thot so I can't say I care too much about what she looks like
will miss the stupid nipple dress
Looks to match her personality.
You can also get a schmowder in the warehouses, by bringing some milk to the kids so that they can feed the transparent cat
>Maria
Who?
Why did they start with haruspex this time and not Bachelor?
Man up.
Isnt it implied that herb sluts are worms?
If so, why does Artemy immediately assume she wants him, and Lara gets mad over it?
Why would would one be kept as a trophy by Grief, or get hired as dancers?
Hell, one even speaks of marriage with townsfolk.
You also see them alot more in the streets than worms, so I assume they’re humans.
They come from the Earth much like Worms.
How do you even know who is bound to you
Saved all my Bound and finished the damn thing, I made it Bros. I dabbed on Death.
>sleeping
>ever
it's like you want the plague to win, emshem
Dont all kin do that?
Do you recall ever getting a list of names written down on a piece of paper somewhere?
Yes, but Worms, Brides, Magic BVLL's and the nameless Tumbler Toy entities literally come from the Earth. They are magic emshem, the kin are human but less so than those who are disconnected from the Earth.
Burakh's bound are the Blood I think.
Where can I get food and steppedosh on the first few days? I have no problem with accumulating junk and other stuff. Looting houses might be a good idea, but I don't want to ruin reputation again.
When is this?
>Literally every girl
Post them all
...
OH SHIT SOMEONE LEFT A BUNCH OF BEEF JERKY INT HE GARBAGE, THANKS RETARD AHAHAHAHAHA
I think you can find it as long as that district is not infected/abandoned. I saw them for the first time on day 2 but did not bring the milk until day 5 when the district unfucked itself
For the hospital daily they want me to use a Shmowder? What the hell- there's no way it's worth actually using it is there? Unless the reward is super juicy..Did anyone actually use one of theirs?
hey that was mine
What day?
Can you marry Lara?
Adding a protip to this, killing soldiers is VERY rewarding
If you cant manage to fight them, you can always get someone else to do it.
Any reason why the rifle soldiers are shooting at the flamethrower soldiers? Also can those flamethrower guys die at all? I watched 2 rifle guys shooting him for a good 3, 4 minutes till I decided to run in and attack and did nothing to him.
use all money on food day 1, maybe even sell stuff if you need to
Maybe invest into bandages so you can get bloody bandages to exchange in the dead item shop
get livers if you can while your rep is low and sell them
buy nuts and raisins for a bargain and trade them to little kids for eggs
After the theatre becomes the hospital do your quests and give random people as much meds as you can
Just be yourself
I did, it was worth it on top of healing a few people, 7k, food, coupons and pills. I used the money to go buy a shotgun off the barber thug then kill him immediately after. Shame Bad Grief bugged out so I couldn't finish the quest.
Plus by healing someone completely you put the changegoblina in her place.
>
Day 9
Fair enough, she's a right bitch.
>day 9
Just bear in mind on day 10 literally everyone gets infected.
Is there a way to talk to Isidor's spirit on day 2? It seems like this empty thought circle is pushing me to drink the right herbal infusion where Murky made me find the herbs, or something.
Testing
If you're playing your cards right you have access to at least 6 panaceas, probably more. Just make sure you have enough for the day 10 infection wave
How do you get bloody bandages out of normal ones?
>tfw day and lacking shmowders but I'm doing so well otherwise I don't want to restart
Throwing in my two cents, a soldier found alone is very easily backstabbed. I used a knife but you can almost certainly use your fists
Murky is made for b u l l y i n g
don't they become bloody danages after using them when hurt?
am I retarded and imagined it?
Could swear my first bloody bandages appeared in my inventory after using normal danages to heal
They dont loot either, so anyone killed is free to be looted.
I think you're thinking of broken ampules. Also
>danages
Yes, but you have to not talk to grace immediately and then find cl*ra. Don't remember where she pops up though.
Who the fuck is the eighth?
I literally cannot play the game, the atmosphere the music the visuals make me phisically nauseous. Anyone else with the same problem?
in this extremely worrying letter from Lara's place, 'the scruff' is just another name for the atrium district, right?
>bloody bandages
yeah they become bloody if you use them below a certain hp threshold, otherwise they just disappear
ur mum :)
Why is she so lewd?
why, the udurgh, of course
Is this a direct sequel? Should I finish the first to understand what's going on?
>he didn't instantly figure it out
All I needed was one conversation with Kains.
steppe at night makes my skin crawl
I don't remember which day you go into the Abattoir/Olonngo/cave but you can get like four bottles of panacea blood in there if you kill all the worms and make sure to bottle it all (i.e. don't fuckin drink it).
It's a sort of reboot, some stuff has changed enough that it's worth it to play the old one as they're more or less different stories at this point, only one route is out right now.
Clara can be found near Rubin’s house, after having talked to Grace about the list.
Its a bit shifty though as sometimes there’ll be an actor or nobody at all instead.
But you can just talk to the nearby kids and they will mention that Grace can talk to the dead too.
Dont know what happens though because I refused.
I have 3 shmowders so I guess if that happens on day 10 that would be enough to keep everyone alive and still do the day 9 hospital quest.
>see three npcs standing around some guy with his back against the wall
>they're gonna lynch him
>decide to be good guy and punch one of them
>what happens next is I get my ass handed to me 5 times in a row
>wake up after ass kicking then they'd chase me down and stomp me again
>finally wake up far enough away to leg it
I feel like daredevil if he only lost fights
Don't engage in combat in Pathologic. Ever. You'll lose almost 100% of the time.
Depends. Did you buy the bull?
Can somebody confirm indtjening polyhedron in the original is penetrating the Earth?
In the remake it floats and is connected to stairs.
It's stairs only in the original too.
>not backstabbing soldiers for free guns
Also good luck fighting the worms in the abbattoir and termitary.
Are they nameless or are they a kind of shabnak? Am I just making that assumption because some idiot in the first game confused them with a shabnak-adyr?
They probably accidentally hit each other and there's some Doom-style friendly fire aggro. And as far as I can tell, the flamethrower guys are completely invincible.
WHO
If you walk behind it you'll see that the stairs are laid down on a spike that's going into the earth.
Oh OK, I didn't try insisting that Grace actually do the seance. It looked like it might be a fake choice.
I was more wondering if Murky's method actually works or if she was just bullshitting. I just want to know what completes that stupid thought circle
Just play the game if you cant figure it out beforehand.
Wow didnt even see the autocorrect, glad you answered me anyway.
Yeah they'll straight up tell you
but I already beat the game and I still don't know.
I'm a brainlet.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of an issue is a dead kid?
I got the good ending with like half of my aspirants dead.
Murky's method doesn't work. I think it completes the circle, but it tells you that she confused the buzzing of insects around the herbs with the voices of the dead.
Looks like that circle is completely unrelated to speaking to Isidor. I loaded an earlier save, had Grace put him on the line, and it didn't change Murky's dialogue or objectives.
I'm garbage and the abbatoir is kicking my ass. Any advice?
>hold to open
Holy fucking shit, why?
sneak up on them, hold left click to do a power attack, then spam regular attacks until they die.
The one I'm looking for comes after that one.
Another user posted a good strategy. Worms do a sing that hits three times. Block all three hits (block a punch makes you take no damage), then after the third hit swing at them. Then block their next attack and repeat. Enemies only do guard breaks if you stay in block, otherwise they never will.
Which one? And who was dead?
>House of Death
>That loading screen telling that the plague hates light [\spoiler]
Anyone confirmed if the lantern works then?
Thank you guys so much, really appreciate
Notkin, Sticky, and Grace all died in mine.
Dunno about all, boos. We're pretty close to the bump limit.
Yes. It disperses static clouds. Moving ones will still infect your shit up.
I'm guessing you didn't deliver the papers?
>letting Grace die
You double worm. Did you really drag her out of the cemetery to let her get infected and die?
Not him but I let her stay and she got infected anyway.
>leaving her alone at the cemetery, with no one to turn to for comfort but the dead who are literally, figuratively ripping her apart
Onyon.
That might be literally impossible in this one
I delivered them.
what a semen demon
