Re: SHADOWCORE

This is true. Art in general seems to be the main downside of the game, it's not that bad, but could be better. Otherwise, there seems to be a lot of content.
After I read through all the scene, it kinda disappointed me when I realized that they practically put the same scene all over the place (as in scene with Forest Bandit, Loran, Slave Trafficker) and they only change the partner's name.

And yeah, the CG rehash.

Re: SHADOWCORE

The CGs could have been better but are still acceptable. The dev reused CGs but the events are still quite good. There are lots of hidden/alternate events to make the game worth replaying.

But the "bad end = restart from the beginning" system is terrible. If you reload the save before a bad end, the bad end in recollection room does not remain. Otherwise, this could have been a good game for those who like to collect CGs by themselves.

There are books and hints during the game, and optional locations (maybe required for true end?) to explore. The plot of the game is quite good (coz lots of hrpgs don't have a plot at all).

Difficulty/grind/combat could have been better. Boring combat plus random encounters every 5 steps couldn't be more annoying.

Horny/lust value is hard/boring to increase at the beginning. Maybe I have missed lots of events that increases H value? Took me sometime before I can get her to accept the H job in the desert town.

Still a good HRPG, make sure you play till the end before using a 100%CG save.

Wait, please post more detail

After escaping from desert continent ( After defeating the childhood friend and escaping from the fort ), which city should I go to trigger the airship quest ?

I've visited all city in the ice continent but no event trigger, do I need to go somewhere first ?

Re: SHADOWCORE

After going to the snow continent, head to the castle ruin
SC1.jpg
then head to top right building (there is a bathe scene in the middle building)
SC3.jpg
go up stairs and click on the pad and enter 1455240
SC4.jpg
take the key and head to the ruins on the east end of the continent
SC5.jpg
go to second floor and take all four crystals then head back to the first floor (third floor only contains hint to where the crystals go)
once back to the first floor, put the 赤の宝玉 (red crystal) on the top left statue, 青の宝玉 (blue crystal) on the bottom right statue, 緑の宝玉 (green crystal) on the top right statue, and 紫の宝玉 (purple crystal) on the bottom left statue.
SC6.jpg
then enter the sign thingy between the two statues that are placed in the top mid, then just keep following the path and pull the sword out. After u head out, u'll need to fight the guards, im not sure of the consequence of the choices, either way u will still need to fight the guards, winning or losing doesn't matter.
After that u'll lose the girl, then u need to head to the on the far left side of the continent
SC7.jpg
Head up stair and talk to the old man
SC8.jpg
the go to the right room and take the key and the mirror
SC9.jpg
head back to the ruins
SC10.jpg
go all the way back to the room where u pulled the sword and enter the door at the top, open the chest to get the item
SC11.jpg
then follow the airship instructions


after u get the airship, the final boss is at the castle directly south of u, u can only land on places where there r no tress so u need to head to the south east side of the island to find the spot to land. After u got into the castle, there r 2 bosses u need to fight before u fight the dude who took the girl (the silver hair dude and ur old friend, and before that u have to fight a guard and orc together, there r healing panels and return to exit panels before each boss so u should be fine. There r 3 choices before the final boss fight, the first one is about whether u r gonna join the dark side or not, choosing the top choice will end the game there with u on the dark side, choosing the second will lead u to the second choice, the second choice is about whether u like the girl or not, the top is that u like her and the bottom is u don't. Either way u will need to fight him unless u join the dark side, not sure what happens if u lose, after u win, u will get the third choice, not sure what it's about, but it doesn't matter at all, just different dialogue.
After that head after the dude and fight him again, if u lose i think it's bad end, win then depending on whether u collected the hidden items throughout the map, u'll get a different ending (not sure if u can get the ending that requires all the hidden items as of this version), for the other endings, there is the lust ending if the girl has more then or equal to 80 lust, if u have the other dude with u, depending on he have sex with her or not will get u two different, so a total of three endings can be obtain without the items (lust, dude, and normal).

Re: SHADOWCORE

Right, well saves already posted, but what the heck!
Started a partial for those that doesn't use saves and the game caught my interest enough.

Should take the usual 1-3 days depending on the translation needed.

Re: SHADOWCORE

Alright, thank you for the step by step guide, appreciate it.


Also here's some interesting stuff I found.
- You can pick up mushroom in the first forest.
- Nearly all hanging wall clock in the game can be inspected, there's elixir in them.
- In North East, there's small patch of forest that you can enter, there's Slime Forest in there.

Re: SHADOWCORE

The game's in 1.05 already. Seems there were quite a few bugfixes judging by the blog. Anybody's got the updated version?

There's no ghost in the first town. The ghost they're talking about is the one on the second town (first harbor).

Also, for Brad's hotspring event, you have to make sure Brad and Elisha entered the mixed bath together, and you choose the male bath.

Re: SHADOWCORE

Has anyone managed to get through the prison section yet?

I've beaten the guards and reached
loran, but when I use the instant kill stone, it doesn't affect him and I get killed and game over'd.

Is this a bug, or am I just going about this the wrong way?

Re: SHADOWCORE

has instant kill item?
if golem is click 2 pillar back has switch then can kill it
I got past the golem fine, its the guy at the top of the tower that I'm having trouble with. There doesn't seem to be a way to defeat him, as he has no health bar.


I did not defeat the black knight guy at the bottom (the one that crushes you and deals like 900,000 damage) which may or may not change anything, it seems like you need Erishea with you to beat him.

You can beat the black knight in your second try, you don't need the girl. I don't know if that's required to beat the blonde guy. Maybe you just need to get stronger.

Re: SHADOWCORE

You can defeat Rolan in the first battle (even if there's no health bar), but he's unkillable in the second (Arma interrupts that one though, so nothing bad happens). If you aren't strong enough to beat him already, you're kind of screwed because you don't really have time to train yourself up while in the prison.

The black knight cannot be defeated in the first try, but you can beat him after he knocks you out provided you're strong enough. He just provides a different way to exit the prison, though it's better to defeat him anyway for plot reasons once you find out who he is. You need to make it to the end of the game and lose to Arma to see the bad ending to find out who he is, and then start another game which will now allow you to get the true ending

The quickest way to make Mist stronger is in the casino. Buy some coins and play the Rock-Paper-Scissors game. Get a lot of the Power Up items to buff up his strength. Once you've got about 100-150 STR, go to the basement floor and start fighting in the arena. If you are lucky and get easy fights, you can get a ridiculous number of coins that you can use to get more stat-up items and the special equipment from the coin exchange store, which is some of the best stuff in the whole game.

The exchange store on the right of the arena has all stat-boost items, though make sure you get the Power Up ones from the one on the first floor, since they're the same thing but much cheaper. Once Mist is strong enough, you can even kill the bosses in the arena that are supposed to be there to cut your streaks, at which point you can straight-up get trillions of coins with ease.

Not only can you max all Mist's stats (And Elisia's too), you can exchange coins for Mysterious Coins on the first floor exchange store, which you can take to the fairy shrine that's at the bottom of the desert continent (need the ship) and exchange it for the best equipment in the game, including a lantern accessory that cancels random encounters, the best sword and armours in the game and an accessory that makes you attack twice. You can only carry 99 Mysterious Coins at once, so you need two trips to get the 160 needed to get all the equipment.
