    Forgot to mention this earlier when someone was expressing relief to see people walking the roads again. There's still actually traveling pawns in Verda Woodlands even in the post-game. They appear on the unmarked North-South trail between the Miners's Toolshed and the Traveler's Camp. They're not really going anywhere. I followed pawns both ways and they're just wandering back and forth between the crossroad with the marked road further north, and the edge of the trees at the south.

    In fact, wasn't that your message @PLA? Who, then, would I run into but Dunawen Lamb as I write about it.

    Yep, that was me!

    I only get Beowulf-masks, apparently. Well, the first was Apollo.
    I think my father's cousin used to have a big picture of Saint George and the dragon in his hotel.

    So I'm level 25 so far. Having a blast. Things have "clicked" somewhat and i'm really enjoying the game.

    It's weird how low res and sort of ugly this game can look at times, because, within minutes I'm in a windy green area that looks great, before being attacked from above by a Griffin and everything suddenly looks amazing. And the lighting inside dungeons is awesome too.

    Anyway - that Griffin. I've been attacked a couple of times but he's always gotten away. Is this the same Griffin?

    Also my pawn has yet to be hired by anyone, which is a shame. Am I missing something? Is there anything I can do to make them more attractive/visible for hiring? What benefits am I missing out on if any?

    I looked this up because it might be an interesting interaction.

    Anyway, all the impaled dragons on banners and tapestries? My Arisen is now sporting a dragon-tattoo with a vertical scar going through it.

    Edit: Ooo, infinite goblins. Or false alarm. There was too an end to them, Rook.

    Edit: I appreciate having more direct access to my storage, but all this scrolling at the scrivener's is a bit, eh.

    Edit: Speaking of the scrivener, he apparently wants a lot of money. So many New items.
    I'd much like to know how much unlisted power these quirky "Wounded Furies" and "Force Hatchets" actually have.

    Edit: "A small piece of an Arisen's heart"? Bullshit. That's a whole heart.

    Edit: Oh, right. Some of these things are supposed to have fancy visual effects. So I guess I should actually equip and walk around in them to see what they really look like.

    Sadly the Ur Dragon offers no bow, but I have picked up a few Stalwarts. Heaven's Keys I have in spades though. Your pawn will have to be the right class to equip the items you want, however.

    Ten times the listed amount vs their target enemy. Thus, an unenhanced Wounded Fury had 78 attack power versus most things, but 780 attack versus ghost-type enemies. If dragon forged, it would have 2,760 attack versus ghosts and 276 against everything else.

    I got this the first time I played the game (despite having Julien as my LI) and it fit so well I actually thought it was supposed to happen if you did the preceding quests.

    That's not bad. In that case, I'm sure the "don't get hit"-weapons are also hardhitting.

    Edit: I've seen the ending
    on youtube a few times, to read text I couldn't catch the first time, and of course to see that Selene-version. So far, Selene and Quina are the ones who seem to know more or less what's going on, while Mercedes just kind of got that something's off.

    Ne'er-Do-Part allegedly heals all Stamina and Health.

    Pretty good heal.

    Keep forgetting to mention this, but does anyone get get a Lea Monde vibe from Bitterblack Isle? Even the aesthetics feel similar to me.

    Especially if you wander with your lantern off, then even the lighting feels similar.

    OK, The Absent Apprentice just makes no sense at all.
    Seems like youth of today have no desire for the life of a weapons merchant. In a perfect world, I'd have an apprentice to run my errands, and in truth, I've had more than a few. Sadly, their skill at metalwork rarely transfers to skill at staying alive in the field.
    So what's the task? "Slay 45 rabbits."

    He actually wanted/needed 45 Rabbit Hides for crafting materials, but forgot to put that in the request so he just got wholesale rabbit slaughter instead.

    That happened regularly to me.

    I just stumbled over the edge in the Everfall, trying to get a Harspud-thing. I took a picture.

    Edit: I survived with 249 health!

    Edit: Tentacles! The punches do nothing!
    Undead Warriors! The punches do nothing!

    This is going to be interesting, isn't it?

    Edit: Nope. Can't use Wakestones. Hmm.
    Hmmm.

    Edit: Run!

    I had to use a sword to get anything done. Boo. I was counting on Wakestones. I don't know why they aren't in my inventory. I must have stored them.

    The ogre didn't do anything. I think it doesn't aggro from that direction, or something.

    Edit: 'Twas the Legion's Might! The enhancement used Wakestones from my inventory.

    So I've opened the second additional path back to the entrance of BBI. Am I close to the end of this thing already? I was hoping it would be longer.

    Not using a lantern really does reveal the place to have a aesthetic remarkably like Vagrant Story.

    So I watched a video detailing the locations of each of the Macabre Sculptures and I do remember each of the locations where I found one... There is a possibility that I got the one at the top of the tower (with the sucubi) and then died to the eliminator and turned it off. So I need to carry a strigoi over there and try again to see if I have it or not, I've been pretty much everywhere else. Argh.

    @Bacon-BuTTy In addition to what others have said, I would still level your pawn up in the other vocations for some of the augments, like physical damage protection and sinew, and also for the hit points and physical defense. Plus it pays to be flexible as you can adjust your and your pawns vocation to suit certain situations and when you find a nice weapon or armor.

    You'll want Medicant and Utilitarion for your inclinations then. Medicant to increase casting of healing/buff/debuff spells and Utilitarian for casting weapon enchants and utility spells.

    I'm actually doing the same thing with my new mage. While playing through the 'standard' game I've given here fire/ice enchants, because basically everything prior to postgame is weak to fire or ice. Healing and curing are the next two, and then high ingle and high levin as her only attack spells.

    In the post game when shit is more real I probably want have any attacks on her at all, just weapon buffs and healing.

    Yay! I finally found the thousand kisses ring and it had, as a bonus, the super wind sprint and slashy skill. I can equip my pawn with brain splitter, thousand kisses, and wind sprint and slash for nice blender action.

    @rami and @morninglord I'm still holding on to Lute. It's nice that she uses skull splitter and the like on gargolyes and other flying beasties. The only "problem" I have is that my pawn and Lute also jump on dragons and there isn't enough room with my pc there to take out the "heart" so they end up crawling around on the dragon for a while without doing much of anything.

    @rami You are going to have about a bazillion rift crystals when I finally get around to releasing her to the pawn retirement home.
