PERCY FOUND THE MIMIC VEIL!!!!! Sometimes this game is truly peak comedy???
The mimic veil basically increases your stealth and turns your player character into a random prop asset from somewhere in the map. I've turned into crates, barrels, statues, piles of sticks, a variety of trees, a canon... it seems like each area has its...

Jumping puzzles are somehow better with friends... ðŸ˜
You can only have summons accompany you in really limited areas - boss rooms mostly- with the exception of one town where they can follow you around everywhere!!!! It also happened to be a jumping puzzle area lol
Somehow the constant failure of mis-jumping was less ba...

Hmm I wonder if you're only supposed to pledge yourself to one faction with a regular amount of fealty instead of all factions simultaneously while slightly revolver ocelot triple-betraying all of them. I'm sure it's fine!!!!

hello how have I done 40 of these
we finally made it to the Windmill Village!!!! It's extremely charming, in a creepy and suspenseful way. There's parts of other pop media that have definitely influenced some areas, and this is definitely Midsommar.
I want to unlock a dancing emote, but I don't think one exists. U___U

Waaahh we finally got to Volcano Manor and met Zorayas!!!
This place is seriously built like a dinner theater restaurant, it's all red lights and huge tables everywhere. Anyway, I'm charmed, even though I don't think I'm supposed to be lol

At the bottom of [previously mentioned jumping hell tower] there was a EXTREMELY DIFFICULT BOSS and behind the boss was a HUGE SWORD that somehow works with Percy's build!!!! (faith/strength/dex) It's also very very heavy, which means we should probably stop using the heaviest armor we've come across thus far lol

date with blaidd has not gone as advertised...
perhaps his major character flaw is that he is a bad judge of date spots.... (that being, a boss arena)

Apparently these things are called Fallingstar Beasts, but they're absolutely a bull with a beetle head and I will never not call them Rodeo Bugs
they're also immune to bleed (the status effect that the imps do) so it was probably not a good idea to bring them along but also they're the strongest summon we've got??

Found the madness town! Everyone has been inflicted with madness! You too will go mad and die if you're within eyeshot of the madness tower! Horrible!
My first thought was actually "wow this must've been a nightmare for the developers to program" lol

We finally managed to get matching armor for Lhutel (the tall headless lady knight summon we got a ways back)!!!!
Sans the wing adornments on the back, it's actually NOT super attractive. It actually looks very stupid with the stone imp helm, and it's mostly kind of a washed out gritty yellow color. AND it looks like Percy looted it off a ...

It's hard not to anthropomorphize the summons, even though they don't/probably don't have any sort of personalities baked into their AIs.
Anyway we got to a really incredible/totally bizarre boss fight involving a bunch of berries and cream boys rolling around on the floor, singing and shooting fireballs at you. (many of my friends read th...

We found the heavily meme'd Pope Turtle!!! (his real name is Miriel, he will tutor you in magic. Actual Percy would adore him)
In a game full of Things That Want To Kill You, every character who shows you any affection is extremely precious.
His house is super haunted at night though, wow, horrible

soooo apparently your character has "hit points" in this game that are controlled by their "vigor," and if you want more hit points you need to invest in "vigor"
Percy, had 10 vigor as a starting stat and we uh just failed to invest in giving her hit points??? which means I'd just unnecessarily made this game way harder than it needed to l...
