Full game spoilers
- Orpheus is freed from his prison. I was initially torn by the choice and willing to keep working with the emperor despite their manipulations, just not at the expense of a prisoner. I freed Orpheus ready to save-scum, but upon seeing the emperor’s immediate decision to join the Elder Brain I never looked back.
- The emperor dies in combat the first round on the Elder Brain. I don’t even know what he does although I assume it’s the regular mind flayer abilities like when Orpheus turns or myself.
- Music concert with Hope.
- During the battle with Hope, waste her miracle on the mace and chuck it for me to scoop up after the battle. Shadowheart keeps her single-use miracle for a rainy day and I get a divine weapon.
- Keep Shadowheart in the party until she loses the prism to you. I think her leaving the party or after an event in the creche triggers the prism to go from her inventory to yours. Until then during rests in camp she’ll be fiddling with it like a child with a rubik’s cube.
- With the exception of my first playthrough, the guardian is made to look like a clown. Big red afro, pallid skin, and ridiculous red or purple tattoos. I spent so long the first time making the perfect complement to my half-elf druid and it was for nothing.
It’s funny that the shield only has Rare rarity, that thing should be Legendary for how insanely powerful it is! If your attacker misses their first hit, it’s a +4 AC shield that also protects you from crits. That and the adamantine medium armor are always my picks, they are both so much better than anything else you can make.
My first run I made the sword and I regretted it. Armors are pretty good picks, I didn’t realize the shield was so good. I didn’t really use them this last run, but something to think about for my next one…
