  • Should You Save Nyx During the Marauder War to Solving Them in Tides of Tomorrow

    Should You Save Nyx During the Marauder War to Solving Them in Tides of Tomorrow

    As you explore different parts of the story in Tides of Tomorrow, you’ll meet many characters. However, they mainly belong to three groups: Marauders, Mystics, and Reclaimers. To unlock the best ending, it’s important to gain their support.

    To do this, you must follow three separate storylines, each affected by your choices with that faction throughout the game. To persuade the Marauders, you need to go back to Wrecklandia and do certain things to increase your chances.

    Since your previous decisions can influence outcomes, this guide is still a work in progress as we find all possible endings for this part of the story.


    Where to Find Nyx’s Hidden Members

    When you enter the area, your first task is to find Kass. She can be found easily in the middle of the main area. She will then ask you to locate Nyx’s hidden rebels. Remember, this only happens if you chose to save Nyx from Obin at the start of the war at Obin’s Tower.

    To find these hidden survivors, go behind Kass. You’ll see a small path on your right behind some crates. Enter that area first to gather all items available. Afterward, tell Kass about their location. She will then go to the hideout and close the door behind her.


    Where to Find Nyx

    As Kass heads toward the hideout, she will ask you to find Nyx. From the main area, turn left into a small alley. Follow this path and turn right at the T-intersection. Continue straight, and you’ll be ambushed by Nyx’s guards. During conversation, choose the option “Only on my condition” when she asks for your help. This will open Nyx’s will meter.

    You can then select to help “reclaim the Maelstrom” to lower the red bar. If you have the Troublemaker trait, you can pick the first option on the next choice. If not, choose “You owe me,” and remind her of how you saved her from Obin.

    Keep choosing options until you can say, “I’m your best chance at survival right now.”


    How to Leave the Area Alive

    After talking with Nyx, you’ll do a stealth mission to avoid Obin’s guards. Start by jumping down the small gap in the fence where Nyx’s soldier was standing. Follow the path until you can climb back up, then wait for the soldiers to pass.

    Once they do, crouch, grab some scrap, and follow the same path they took. The soldiers walk in a circle, so if they come back, you can jump onto the platform on your right to stay hidden.

    Before reaching the large red door, you can sneak through the right side and find stairs going up. Climb these stairs, go down the other side, crouch in the left area, and listen for Nyx’s voice again.

    After this, swim across the water to reach the other side, then take the elevator up to the room with Kass and Nyx.


    What to Do With Nyx

    To get the best ending, you want to save Nyx and convince the Marauders to support you. During the dialogue, choose these options:

    • Kass, don’t hurt her.
    • Killing him was still wrong.
    • Help us, and you’ll live.
    • Will you help us reclaim the Maelstrom?
    • That’s not enough. We need an army.
    • Nyx, you have to surrender.
    • Play dead. We’ll pretend we killed you.

    Choosing the last option will greatly boost Nyx’s will meter, turning it into the blue section. Once that’s achieved, you can select “Stop Kass” and leave the area. As you exit, the Marauders will support you.

  • Completing Tainted Grail: Solving Brother Ismat’s Book Return

    Completing Tainted Grail: Solving Brother Ismat’s Book Return

    As you explore the various areas in Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon, you’ll frequently meet characters who require assistance with a range of tasks, whether it’s finding someone, retrieving an item, or investigating matters they can’t manage on their own.

    Some quests are more intriguing than others, especially when they take unexpected twists. For instance, if you’ve encountered Vrell, you know she owns a bookstore. With the chaos caused by the Red Death, discovering that someone is stealing books is the last thing you’d anticipate. Yet, that’s exactly the situation.

    How to Begin the Temptation Quest

    After you finish the A Delicate Matter quest and some time passes, visit Vrell at her bookstore and have a chat with her. You’ll find out that some extremely valuable books have gone missing, and she needs your help to get them back.

    Your first lead is to talk to Walter, a Kamelotian soldier who is a big fan of the stolen books. He can be found just outside her shop.

    When you engage with him, he will insist he had nothing to do with the theft but will direct you to a priest who may be involved, despite his usual disdain for such literature.

    How to Complete the Temptation Quest

    Head to the priest’s home, located just northwest of the city. When you enter the house, you’ll find the priest muttering to himself.

    Important: DO NOT TALK TO HIM YET. Before you do, you must read six specific books in his house:

    1. Vrell’s Proof of Delivery – located under the table on the left.
    2. A Sermon on Purity and Temperance and A Clarification on Purity and Temperance – both found on a shelf just past the table on the left.
    3. A Sermon on the Paths of Discipline – sitting on some crates to the right.
    4. Another version of A Sermon on the Paths of Discipline – on the floor just to the right of the priest.
    5. A Sermon on Purity and Temperance – in the bedroom to the right on a small table.

    Once you’ve read all these books, you can finally interact with Brother Ismat. During your conversation, you need to get him to confirm he has the stolen books. You also have to choose the right dialogue options when prompted, or the quest may fail.

    Here are the essential dialogue choices you need to make:

    • "But what about: Yet it is not the act of the hand that condemns, but the heart that guides it astray."
    • "Speaking on these matters, you seem to adopt an accusatory tone."
    • "I think you allocate sanctity to the wrong things… but it is crucial to find holiness where it truly resides and, at the same time, discern where excessive zeal is unnecessary!"
    • "But is it really for you to judge? The same sermon says: Yet the Prophet’s Judgment is not swift, but discerning and full of care and justice at the same time."
    • "I believe that what people do with their own bodies is their own business."
    • "I’ve met people falling into temptation with good hearts, doing lots of good things for others."

    If you select the correct responses and follow the steps accurately, you will convince Brother Ismat to return the books. Return to Vrell to report your success. You have the option to either share the truth about what happened or tell her a falsehood; either way, the quest concludes with Vrell getting her cherished books back.

  • Convincing the Watch Captain: Completing the Imperial Corruption Quest in Oblivion Remastered

    Convincing the Watch Captain: Completing the Imperial Corruption Quest in Oblivion Remastered

    The quests in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion are not solely focused on combat. For the early quest titled “Imperial Corruption,” you’ll need to leverage your persuasion skills. This quest becomes available when you enter the Imperial City, which is at the center of the map. It essentially consists of social challenges that test your patience as well.

    Although there are two potential combat segments in this quest, your choices will determine if you encounter one of them. Here’s everything you need to know to successfully complete the “Imperial Corruption” quest.

    Completing Imperial Corruption

    The key to finishing the “Imperial Corruption” quest is understanding how the Persuasion mechanic operates. You need to build a friendly rapport with essential NPCs to make progress.

    “Friendly” here means raising the NPC’s Disposition level to 70. When you reach this level, they will agree to requests that they might have otherwise declined, due to their trust in you.

    Another element involves having patience; two steps in the quest require a few in-game days to pass. While you can use the Wait mechanic to pass the time, exploring the world and leveling your character might be a more productive use of your time.

    Starting Imperial Corruption

    Beginning the “Imperial Corruption” quest is straightforward. Roam around the Market District in the Imperial City until you come across Luronk gro-Grluzog, an Orc, or Ruslan, a Redguard.

    When you pass by them, either will ask, “Can I beg a favor of you?” Luronk can be recognized by his wrinkled face, green skin, patchy hair, and rusty purple shirt. Ruslan, on the other hand, has dark brown skin and wears a bright red outfit.

    When prompted, choose the dialog option “Corrupt Imperial Watchman,” followed by “Why doesn’t Jensine report him?” He will disclose that a high-ranking Watch member is extorting merchants under the guise of authority.

    Revealing the Corrupt Watchman

    To find out the name of the corrupt Watchman, talk to Jensine at Jensine’s “Good as New” Merchandise. Engage her and select “Corrupt Imperial Watchman,” then “Two of your customers told me.” Initially, she may be reluctant to discuss anything, so you’ll need to persuade her. Specifically, you want to boost her Disposition to at least 70 during the Persuasion mini-game.

    Jensine’s preferred Persuasion methods are Boast and Coerce.

    Once you successfully persuade her, Jensine will reveal that the Watchman in question is Audens Avidius. Only another Watch Captain can arrest him, so your next task is to find one.

    Finding and Convincing a Watch Captain

    Head back outside and speak with any standard Guardsman. Ask, “Where can I find a Watch Captain?” The guard will point you to Hieronymous Lex in the South Watchtower.

    The Watchtower is located in the southern part of the Green Emperor Way district. Once inside, talk to Lex, who will complain about the Gray Fox from the Thieves Guild. He will then recommend that you speak to Itius Hayn regarding the situation.

    When you talk to Hayn, he will initially hesitate to carry out an arrest. To persuade him, you’ll need to raise his Disposition to 70. When this is achieved, he will agree to consider the arrest—only if you can find two witnesses willing to support the story.

    Your next step is to return to both Ruslan and Luronk and increase their Disposition to 70 to encourage them to testify against Avidius. It’s important to note that Jensine cannot be persuaded to testify, regardless of your efforts.

    Return to Hayn once you have secured the witnesses. Notify him about their willingness to testify, and he will say he’ll obtain a warrant for Avidius’s arrest. However, you must wait one in-game day for the warrant to be processed.

    After a day, you will receive a quest notification indicating that Avidius has been arrested. You can then visit the Imperial City Prison to confront him. He will rant about his revenge plans.

    You now have two choices:

    • Leave the corrupt Watchman in prison. After ten in-game days, he will attempt to escape and come after you. He will attack you and any nearby characters as soon as you wake up from sleeping.
    • Travel to the prison and kill him there. This will put an end to his escape plans and prevent his potential rampage.

    Should you decide to let him pursue you after ten days, he will carry several hundred gold that you can collect, and other NPCs might join you in defending against him.

  • Completing the Task: Solving Nora’s Bar Dilemma in Lost Records

    In Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, you reconnect with your childhood friends many years after leaving your small hometown. A mysterious package arrives, stirring up memories from the past. Like a time capsule, you’ll need to reflect on the events of that pivotal summer in 1995 to uncover the reason behind this unexpected delivery.

    However, not everyone shares in the excitement of this discovery. While Autumn is eager to delve into the past, Nora struggles to confront her memories. As Swann, your challenge is to encourage Nora to stay until the night concludes.

    Setting Up Gus and Pam

    After revisiting your shared history, you’ll have a short conversation with Autumn. When she asks how you’re feeling, respond with ‘This has felt better than expected’ to earn some friendship points with her, right before she suggests you check on Nora outside.

    Before heading out to find Nora, you have the chance to chat with Pam and Gus at the bar. Start by greeting them with ‘Hi there!’ and inquire if you missed anything interesting.

    Pam is trying to persuade Gus to join her on a trip to a haunted cabin, inspired by a book they enjoyed together years ago. You have two options to help spark a romantic connection between them:

    • Sounds like a date!
    • A literary getaway! Very romantic.

    Choose one of these to help Gus realize Pam is inviting him out. He’ll be taken aback, and they’ll wonder if you’d prefer to head home or linger in town. Respond as you wish, and Pam will express her gratitude for your matchmaking efforts.

    After your chat, you can exit the bar through the back door to track down Nora.

    Convincing Nora to Stay at the Bar

    Nora stepped out for a smoke and hasn’t returned. Follow her outside to check in. It’s been an emotionally charged evening, and it’s no wonder she’s feeling a bit overwhelmed.

    If you checked her phone earlier, you might have noticed a message from her wife indicating that things at home aren’t as perfect as they seem.

    When you find her outside, sit down across from her at the table. It’s important to listen and help her find some resolution. Here are your conversation options:

    Choice

    Outcome

    No thanks. I don’t smoke.


    Why not?

    Nora approves.


    Nora disapproves.


    Nora disapproves.

    You got that piercing in LA, right?

    Neutral (if you encouraged her to get a piercing).

    Nora’s Garage

    You’ll have a flashback to the day Nora returned from LA, allowing you to explore her garage together. Besides being the filming location for the Hazy Days Memoir, it’s a chance to catch up with Nora and discuss everything that’s transpired.

    Start with lighter topics like her new piercing before diving into deeper conversations. You can even try on some clothes she brought from LA while you chat. Here are your dialogue choices:

    Choice

    Outcome

    It looks so hot!


    I hope you don’t regret it.


    It looks cool!

    Nora approves.


    Nora disapproves.

    Dressing up was fun.


    I looked hot!? You did too!

    Nora disapproves.

    Wow!


    Thanks, babe!


    It’s not my style, but it’s cool!

    Nora approves.


    Nora approves.


    Nora disapproves.

    I’m not really in a partying mood…


    We’re always thinking the same thing, Nor!


    Kat would want us to have fun.

    Nora disapproves.


    Nora approves.


    Nora approves.

    (Smoke the joint) OK!


    No thanks.

    Nora approves.


    Neutral.

    Everything’s so weird lately.


    (Move closer) I really missed you…


    It’s been lonely without you guys.


    (Take a long hit)

    Neutral.


    Nora approves.


    Neutral.


    Nora approves.

    This moment is perfect for deepening your relationship with Nora if you’re interested in pursuing her during this summer of 1995. Focus on lighter themes and avoid the heavier feelings she’s reluctant to explore. Following this conversation, you’ll transition smoothly into the next scene.

  • Support Gwen’s Footage Dilemma or Encourage Her to Stand Strong?

    Support Gwen’s Footage Dilemma or Encourage Her to Stand Strong?

    In the universe of Life Is Strange: Double Exposure, Dr. Gwen Hunter faces serious allegations of selling drugs to students on campus. Consequently, she’s been suspended from school while awaiting a hearing with the campus review board.

    During your exploration of the Observatory in Chapter 2, you encounter Living World Gwen. She reveals a thumb drive containing footage of her alleged activities before tossing it into the trash with a lighter. You can either choose to save the footage or stand by Gwen as you watch it burn.

    If you decide to save the footage, Gwen reacts angrily, feeling unsupported. If you mention her ruining Safi’s book deal afterwards, she questions if you have been snooping through her belongings before storming off.

    Security Footage Of Gwen Dealing To Students In Life Is Strange: Double Exposure.

    At the start of Chapter 3, you have the opportunity to finally view the footage in the darkroom. Max notes that it’s strange how Gwen is looking directly at the camera, seemingly aware of the surveillance and the potential fallout.

    You later discover that it was actually Safi impersonating Gwen to seek revenge for what Gwen did to her book deal.

    Your next interaction with Living World Gwen occurs in Chapter 3 Scene 4: Nobody Wants to Drink Alone when you find her sitting by herself in a booth at The Snapping Turtle. Max returns the thumb drive to her, suggesting that it’s abnormal and encouraging her to examine the footage and challenge the accusations.

    Gwen Telling Max She Showed The Footage To The Board In Life Is Strange: Double Exposure.

    Later in Chapter 4, during the Krampus Party, Gwen mentions that despite everything being odd, she was still let go by the board. In response, she decides to help you and Safi confront Lucas.

    Gwen Telling Max She's Going To Try To Get Her Job Back In Life Is Strange: Double Exposure.

    Eventually, after the events of Chapter 5, Gwen returns to The Snapping Turtle and shares her plans of attempting to regain her previous job.

    If you decide not to give Gwen the thumb drive and suggest she fight back against the accusations in Chapter 3, the consequences for Gwen will mimic those of destroying the footage.

    What Happens If You Stand With Gwen

    Gwen And Max Watching The Footage Burn In Life Is Strange: Double Exposure.

    If you choose to support Gwen, the two of you will witness the thumb drive burning together. She expresses gratitude for your understanding and solidarity.

    Regardless of whether you interact with her at The Snapping Turtle in Chapter 3, she eventually gets fired by the board. This decision means she won’t participate with you and Safi in confronting Lucas during Chapter 4, and she will be absent in Chapter 5’s conclusion.

    Ultimately, the choice lies with you. However, we found that preserving the footage and later encouraging Gwen to fight back yielded a preferable outcome. By the end of Chapter 5, when she expresses her intent to regain her position, she says, “I failed Safi, but there are other students I can still support. I won’t just give up.”
