Harp is easily the most interesting in it

#

Since they don’t technically have a jump you can flight cancel it while gaining a speed boost and then dash cancel it from there

regal heart
#

Savages can use jump to go farther than powerjumps with the gap leading to some interesting movement

mild falcon
#

i fought oralech there, and got absolutely demolished

regal heart
#

Yeah that jump ability with his presence makes him scary

gloomy owl
#

Quick, weird kinda question- what kind of legs do Harps have?

#

Are they human legs? Birdlike legs? Something in between?

wide river
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

the one shot of pamitha in the credits shows her with human-y legs but It's Up To Interpretation

#

i think harps are cooler when they have bird legs so in my head they have bird legs

gloomy owl
#

Oh! I didn't know that, time to look through the credits.

#

here, i'll send you the image

Thanks!

I also still ponder how she's able to hold that flask with her arms as they are.

@wicked orbit I sent an email to them not too long ago asking about porting Pyre to Switch. They said they currently have no plans to do so, as they’re trying to focus on Hades, but it’s still up for consideration for when they finish. It was the answer I was expecting, but still a bit of a disappointment.

long holly
#

It’s a small team, and only so much time

regal heart
#

Sandra is pretty great

#

Wants to be left alone but doesn't

#

Heck with it, I'm making Poker Night in the Blackwagon on Python.

#

Probably going to find some unresolvable error in my implementation then trash the whole thing in a couple of weeks, but on the off chance I don't I'll let you guys know

mild falcon
#

Using pygame? I've worked the kinks out of that engine, if you need some troubleshooting help

olive scroll
#

Nah, I'll just make a text-based one.

#

Desperately tries to ignore voice in head telling me that going outside comfort zone would be good for me as a programmer

#

Maybe I'll try giving it a graphical upgrade with PyGame once I've got all the systems working in the text based one

Sandra more like... I was gonna say "Sandere" but "tsun" is the important part in that word and I'm p sure "san" would make it something else even if it were a nonsense combination

#

Anyone know what the pyre update was about?

spiral osprey
#

patch notes should be on steam

#

update to dotNet distributable

#

some file called installscript.vdf, not anything game related it doesn't look like

faint umbra
#

Sandra is good.
Jodariel is gooder.
Gilman is goodest.

twilit merlin
#

false

faint umbra
#

He's just so happy and nice. And also the best character in the game. The only reason I managed to get above 50% win ratio on true nightwing with all Titan Stars enabled.

twilit merlin
#

Jodariel could kill me with their bare hands and that's an okay way to go

mild falcon
#

how do you win with gilman? whats the gilman strat

vestal bluff
#

Get the orb and go fast

mild falcon
#

oh, thats my imp strat

faint umbra
#

GOTTA FAST

#

He's really fast and while he doesn't throw the orb far, he charges his throw nearly instantly, which means you just press the throw button next to the enemy pyre and deal the regular amount of damage while keeping all three of your characters.

vestal bluff
#

That's the main thing

#

He plays as if he's going to dive, but you keep him in the next round

faint umbra
#

His speed makes him the best to cheese enemies, too, which is really important on that difficulty. And his small size means he's less likely to get ruined by the huge boosted presence of the opponents.

vestal bluff
#

This too. If an opponent has the orb, hang out in front of them. Chances are they'll throw it to Gilman to get their aura back, but he's off to the races before they can cast it at him

regal heart
#

Ye ye

#

And if you're on Hulk of Ores you just exploit the movement

#

Cause you can do this with Gilman as well just a bit harder to anglehttps://twitter.com/PlatTechCF/status/1081085754946797568

Hulk of Ores could yeah to some interesting movement options, works with Demon dash, Imp zip, Savage jump (dash at the right angles), Harp flight, and Crone jump/dash https://t.co/6URcQ8sM7N

Movement tech on this map is dumb

what is the means by which someone is cast into the downside

tossed in a river is one thing. held up in a cage and THEN tossed in a river is just brutal

Question

#

Someone on the steam community forums mentioned in a translation thread that a lot of the characters seem to have accents, I was wondering if anyone caught the accent of sir gilman?

#

I don’t know if it was mentioned at all

young folio
#

im not sure the accents necessarily have a real-life counterpart

iron heart
#

True

young folio
#

if anyone would know, its probably ven or sparrow, but i dont wanna @ them because theyre not online rn

iron heart
#

I just wanna see if there’s anything I missed about the way he talks, just because I’m making a character for something that’ll have a similar personality and speech pattern as sir gilman, just because I like it

#

Just because I think it’ll fit

#

Ironically it’s a sky/dawn-themed character I’m making

spiral osprey
#

@iron heart Since Sahrian is a conlang, it's up to Greg to decide what characters sound like, and it also means that the English we see onscreen is a perfect representation of the Sahrian. So Gilman's "accent" is exactly as it appears in English! Like how he calls us the Master Reader? That's an equivalent of his pet name for the Reader, magaratus, which appears to be a portmanteau of ligaratus (reader) and an unknown word (probably related to "magna/magnus") that means "grand".

iron heart
#

Fair enough

#

I meant mostly the voice acting

#

Someone mentioned how the voices seemed to give them accents

spiral osprey
#

Greg has said that although all the characters speak the game's conlang Sahrian, they do have individual accents, but we can also assume that those accents are accurately represented in the game's text

iron heart
#

Like, I remember someone saying that the way Jodi speaks makes her sound almost russian

spiral osprey
#

Sahrian has Russian influences in it, so maybe that had something to do with it? All the voice actors are American as far as I know, though

iron heart
#

Maybe

#

I dunno

#

Ah well

#

I'll just make do with the speech pattern accent

#

For now

#

The character will probably develop an accent as I rp him thou lmao

spiral osprey
#

I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand what you're getting at? They're American voice actors speaking a conlang, I don't think they intentionally threw any kind of national accents onto it...

iron heart
#

Nah its fine

#

I get that

#

Its just that someone said what you mentioned on how they have individual accents

#

And I remembered uhh

#

(Wait whos kid zomb again)

spiral osprey
#

Greg!

iron heart
#

Yeh

lunar flame
#

Greg Supergiant

iron heart
#

I remember him replying with a sort of almost yes i think

#

Or it was him just sorta acknowledging the comment

#

I dont remember

#

It was on one of the sahrian question forums on steam

spiral osprey
#

Yeah, i know he's said that within the conlang the different characters have accents and unique ways of speaking, and I've noticed that to a certain extent in my work with the codex

iron heart
#

Yeye

#

I do like that

spiral osprey
#

but unfortunately accents in a different language don't really carry across one to one for English so all we really have to go on is the written text...

iron heart
#

Possibly their ways of speaking have a sort of influence from different languages, and that may be why there are accents being recognized

ripe stag
#

i imagine gilman would have this really over the top british RP accent

iron heart
#

Like their individual lines probably have more influence from a certain language

#

So it comes off as an accent

spiral osprey
#

probably, yeah!

#

i've noticed pronunciation inconsistencies even within certain characters' lines, so i doubt it's anything intentional for the most part (outside of the different word choice on a broad level)

iron heart
#

Like, oddly I can hear the almost russian in Jodi's lines when I hear them

#

Like

#

A russian sort of accent

spiral osprey
#

there are some consistencies, like, I don't remember which vowel it was but Cyrus pronounced it very consistently in a way that made it super hard to parse his lines lol

#

language ^^;

Do any of them have a southern accent

Hmm

#

Not that I can think of

None of them seem like the type

Sir gilman actually sounds more french

#

Some kind of european accent

russian rukey would work as well come to think of it

Once I do most of the achievements, I'm gonna ask people what they consider the perfect story run (where you got most, if not all, the important story arcs and best endings for each character).

long holly
#

My perfect story would have lots of drama and maybe a failure or several

#

The order in which you liberate exiles would make a difference I’m sure

timid lantern
#

Perfext story is not letting Moon touched leave because people are so mean to her

iron heart
#

Petition to let the vagabond say the f word

mild falcon
#

I don't think anyone has the power to stop her

iron heart
#

True

#

Instant cast f words? Wack

young folio
#

no one has the power to stop her............ but the mods banne

ember wraith
#

Yslach doesn't start with an f

vestal bluff
#

All I see is "****** doesn't start with an f"

ember wraith
#

Well, all you need to know is that it definitely doesn't start with an f

#

Nah, the real powercast is when the Vagabond just points at an exile and shouts "ur mum gay" at the top of her lungs, instantly banishing them

#

The only weakness it has is that almer knows the secret technique of "no u"

prime shell
#

agdgha

#

sd

ember wraith
#

If she does it to tabitha, pamitha also gets banished

#

Using the forbidden power against hedwyn would be ineffective because it's true and they all know it

#

No wait

#

It would banish ignarius

iron heart
#

Opf

vale oxide
#

and Oralech knows the counter of "hell yeah she is" which turns it into an AoE aura blast

wet cliff
#

I know the perfect story run is subjective but I still want to ask. To you guys, does it include quality time with Sandra and letting Oralech win the final rite but tell him the plan so he doesn't kill himself?

#

And letting the Moon-Touched remain at the Downside because I'm not letting Almer be liberated?

prime shell
#

I always spent time with Sandra but I let Oralech die bc I didn’t know there was any other way

#

I was a fool 😩

vale oxide
#

see I tried to free Xae for my final liberation rite, and bc she insisted I go... I went

faint umbra
#

To me, best run is happy Sandra, Volfred, Ti'zo and Oralech happy in the downside as old pals, Jodi, Hedwyn, Rukey and me free (to fulfill Hedwyn's promise), Fae free too because can't separate her from Jodi, Almer free so he can be with Fae. There is still one more spot, and I'd probably go for Pam, so she can be away from her sister, and because Bertrude is fine as long as she's with Volfred and Gilman is usually fine in the Downside too.

#

I still need to do that one, too. Last run I did was a ultra-hardcore run in True Nightwing with all stars active. To make it more awful, I went full evil reader, shaving Rukey's moustache, lost every Liberation Rite on purpose (well, those that I would have won, at least... couldn't have won against Udmildhe no matter what, same with Lendel), and when I lost the last Lib Rite on purpose, I forced Oralech to let me go in his place, making me the only Nightwing to go free. It was an emotionally painful playthrough, but really fulfilling gameplay-wise.

wet cliff
#

It's gonna be interesting to think about, I agree. A perfect run does mean losing some liberations.

#

The Old Nightwings being together does sound nice. Not as perfect if I stay behind with Sandra to let Oralech go top with Volfred and Ti'zo?

ember wraith
#

Well

#

The achievement for losing a liberation rite is called "Mercy shown"

#

I always thought that Rukey and Gilman should be together

wet cliff
#

So the main priority for the perfect story are relationships, and who goes to top are secondary

#

Old Nightwings together is great. I'm just thinking if the world on top would be better if we let Volfred lead it with both the old and new nightwings. BUT I do guess Hedwin will be extremely sad without the Reader on top with the new nightwings.

#

it also sounds more poetic though if Tizo and Volfred face against Oralech and stay there with him

ember wraith
#

That's one thing I like about this game

wet cliff
#

reminder as well that we're meant to lose to Oralech too with Tizo and Volfred

ember wraith
#

There are a lot of different ending that you could call perfect

#

There's one ending I'm trying to achieve that I'm curious about

wet cliff
#

Story-heavy games with multiple character paths and endings, I usually do a "Perfect Story" run.

#

One of those games for me was Papers, Please. But that's easier to know the best paths compared to Pyre

ember wraith
#

Reader: "Yo AJ where do I go to get outta the downside?"
AJ: "Take the third exit on the rite"

wet cliff
midnight timber
#

I like keeping the main gang up top with Mae and Almer. The "true nightwings" staying down with Bertrude and Gilman is also best, it also fits with the new replacing the old and stuff. Pam I actually would keep down cause if I remember correctly she has nice interactions with Bertrude in the downside. Plus despite the fight pam and tam do get back on speaking terms when they stay together. The last spot? I personally would give to Ignarius for the sweet relationship bonus. After that the only big thing your missing is Mae and Ti'zo and Pam and Rukey.

#

Thats just my opinion though lol like you said there are many perfect endings

faint umbra
#

There are three priorities for me for a perfect run:

  • original Nightwings together
  • original new nightwings together up top
  • fae with Jodi
    Since that's 4 people liberated already, original Nightwings have to stay down. Bertrude doesn't mind staying down, especially if Volfred is there too. It's nice having Almer with Fae too. So we seem to agree on that.
    Although, liberating Ti'zo so he can bang Lendel's mom would be fun stumptLol
wet cliff
#

Ignarius blaming himself for not being able to release anyone anymore after the New Nightwings came to be is heartwrenching. It makes sense for him at least to be with Jodariel

#

I also kept forgetting that Hedwin considers you to be part of the New Nightwings.

faint umbra
#

I don't think he'd be a good influence on Fae, though.

wet cliff
#

You mean Almer?

faint umbra
#

Ignarius.

#

Since Jodariel is a mother figure to Fae, she's bound to be in contact with Iggy too.

wet cliff
#

I felt like Jodi's mother complexes to her was minor.

#

but i guess tha's another thing to consider

#

good thing most teams have leaders you really don't want to ever be free

#

or don't mind being downside

#

I feel like Oralech, Ignarius and Almer are the only ones you would consider in enemy ranks

#

is it healthier for Pam to be in a different world from Tam?

faint umbra
#

Pretty much. Deluge is a piece of crap, Lendel and Udmildhe are evil, Manley is the wors, Tamitha is not a peaceful person, Barker has too much fun in the Downside.

wet cliff
#

Tamitha's vengeance fails even if she won rites. keeps blaming her sister for that. so you don't want her up top

faint umbra
#

While them being on speaking terms is nice, it doesn't mean they actually get along, just that they tolerate each other. And Pam still ends up physically wounded from it.

wet cliff
#

yeah, her being in the same plains as Tam is an unhealthy relationship

#

also Pam being up top does give the Harp an actual good representative

#

Hedwin still becomes temporarily depressed when all the New Nightwings (including the Reader) are all in the Downside, right?

#

I was thinking the reverse if the Old Nightwings and the Crone go top to lead the rebellion

faint umbra
#

iirc he feels bad but at least "we're all together".

#

""They had failed to return to their homes, each in turn. Yet, they succeeded in staying together. Hedwyn came to realize they found a certain freedom, after all."

wet cliff
#

heh so there's no middle ground

#

making them separated is worse then

pliant sigil
#

Wheres that one wall of text that describes the morally worst ending in pyre

#

Where the guy calculated which characters should stay together/separated to make them suffer

wet cliff
#

lol I'd love to read that

#

I might say one of those would be to liberate Pamitha and Tamitha

#

liberate the scumbag leaders of some triumvirates like Manley, Deluge, and the Accuser.

#

Let Oralech win and steal his liberation without your permission

#

also leaving your Anointed shocked.

#

Separating the New Nightwings

ripe stag
#

if it makes you feel better, I don't know it's name without looking it up, like most pyre things lol

mild falcon
#

is sahria the name of the place? is that confirmed anywhere?

young folio
#

The name of the places are the commonwealth and the downside

mild falcon
#

commonwealth was the name of the old government, i thought?

#

replaced by the sahrian union

young folio
#

I thought commonwealth was just the old name for the place under that government

#

and before the commonwealth it was called the empire

spiral osprey
#

The Empire's full title was the Empire of Sahr

#

So the language spoken by the former peoples of the Empire is Sahrian

mild falcon
#

and i guess the place itself is called sahr

Sturdy Sapling with Unstable Sapling for some reason increases the size of the explosion with consecutive uses

mild falcon
#

i wonder if that's worth doing competitively

regal heart
#

It’s honestly broken tbh, cause eventually it actually just explodes the whole map

#

You just gotta play him a bit aggressively to get those stacks

lavish ridge
#

excuse me mr. sandalwood

mild falcon
#

sure does take a while for the explosions to get up to that point

lavish ridge
#

that's still wild. i never knew about this bug. :O

regal heart
#

If you play him as an aggressive area denial sap instead defensive it’s pretty easy to stack

#

Especially it rite gets drawn out

mild falcon
#

does the size stay that big after volf is banished? does it stay that big after a pyre is hit?

regal heart
#

Dousing does not reset

#

Pretty sure banishing doesn’t either, we found it last night on accident while playing on Parsec

mild falcon
#

does it stay the same size in subsequent games? sometimes the really weird bugs do that

regal heart
#

The size resets between rites

vale oxide
#

well I know what I'll be abusing on true nightwing

regal heart
#

Even better

#

If all your team is banish

#

Also just did some more testing, the size doesn't get bigger per detonation

#

It gets bigger per summon

mild falcon
#

oh wow. summon speed is so much faster

#

seems like saps weren't really tested as thoroughly, lol

#

if you have both saps on same team, do their sap explosions get bigger seperately?

vale oxide
#

good question!

mild falcon
#

if not, the gameplan might just be to run 2 demons with pyre health buffs, 1 sap that wont stop mashing saplings, so by the time youve got board clearing saplings your pyre still has a bit of fire left

#

wait, what does this look like in a mirror match

Alright, got a chance to look at that Sap bug

#

OK, so this is what's happening now, in Pyre\Content\Game\Weapons\UrsaWeapons.xml:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/517503102786469908/536322443527192606/unknown.png
That upgrade gets applied upon the Sap casting his Sapling. Since it's an ADD, it's cumulative over multiple casts. The normal radius is 525, so if we change that to this:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/517503102786469908/536322367002116098/unknown.png
Then the problem goes away, and it functions as it should, with the same increased radius every time

mild falcon
#

hmm, it doesnt look like this is an intentional feature, then

vestal bluff
#

Well, since the explosion size can grow until it covers the entire arena, yeah, I'd reckon it's unintentional!

weird question. anyone know how to completely reset my pyre save data with steam?

#

I've tried my usual methods of confounding the uncooperative cloud saves but nothing works

mild falcon
#

what do you want it to forget?

prisma latch
#

everything. seriously.

#

if its at all possible

mild falcon
#

doesnt pyre have a saves option in the menus?

prisma latch
#

not afaik

#

I'll dodecatuple check

#

nope

mild falcon
#

is it this button you're looking for

prisma latch
#

I'm very late to reply - I thought you weren't coming back and I went to try other avenues on my own - but no

#

its not

#

ty for tryin tho

spiral osprey
#

You could probably just manually delete your save files if you wanted to

#

they should be in your documents folder. I've never tried it myself so I guess it could cause some issues but worst comes to worst you just have to reinstall the game

prisma latch
#

that's what I was trying to do

spiral osprey
#

And Steam is restoring them?

prisma latch
#

I've deleted saves, profile and game information from 3 diff. locations on hard drive

#

and yeah steam restores them

spiral osprey
#

jeez

#

makes sense though, i guess

prisma latch
#

I've tried the standard procedure of deleting while game is running and then closing game to send the empty folder to steam cloud as the 'current save state'

#

no good

#

I've tried desynching from the cloud and launching with no save info at all

#

but somehow the game retains the completed file menu screen and still shows 2 profiles in use (but no save information)

#

I'm currently reinstalling completely (?) fresh with cloud saves turned off to see if I can get the game to boot from a blank slate state

spiral osprey
#

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled?

prisma latch
#

then I'm gonna launch game, reenable cloud sync with game open and close it to see if the new saves replace the old ones

spiral osprey
#

Ah yeah

prisma latch
#

this is literally the last thing I'm trying

#

I've got nothing else after this. no ideas.

spiral osprey
#

Yeah, I would...hope that uninstalling and reinstalling would get rid of old saves but maybe not

prisma latch
#

its the one thing that I've kinda disliked about SG games is how saves are handled

#

I got an itch to replay Transistor a few days ago, before I reinstalled Pyre to let someone else try it (why I'm going to all this trouble)

#

and found that steam cloud had saved my progress in an ongoing recursion run

#

if I reset progress, I return to level 1

spiral osprey
#

Yeah, I think that's a Steam issue more than an SGG issue though...

prisma latch
#

there's no way for me to begin a Recursion run fresh tho

spiral osprey
#

A lot of people have been complaining about how Hades doesn't have cloud saves because the Epic platform doesn't support them ^^;

prisma latch
#

the whole reason I wanted to play transistor was to mess with recursive functions some more, but I would literally have to play 2 runs from scratch to get to that point

spiral osprey
#

I can see how it would be obnoxious though

prisma latch
#

or finish the current run that's 50% finished

#

ok yeah, the issue I'm facing is Steam based

#

but the inability to reset in transistor, specifically, while retaining User Level (unless I missed that feature somewhere) is an in-game one

#

w/e I'm like, half an hour away from being able to attempt this save reset method

#

if someone thinks of another option that I can try after this, if it fails, I'll be ears open

#

ty for your help

spiral osprey
#

No problem, sorry this is so much trouble ;;

prisma latch
#

its hardly your fault that steam cloud's being nonsense

#

heck, even if it was your fault somehow, it isn't your responsibility solely to make it work properly

#

just wish that there were better ways to curate and control what goes into the cloud sync and how it operates

spiral osprey
#

Well I mean just, my sympathies for all the suffering lol
Yeah, for sure. I wonder if Steam has any kind of feedback form...

prisma latch
#

aaaaha they do

spiral osprey
#

but.

prisma latch
#

but this has been an issue for some 7 years already anyway

#

or longer

#

they literally could not care less

young fjord
spiral osprey
#

Yeah. Anyways I hope this works! Pyre's great and I'm sure your friend will enjoy it if you can get a clean save.

#

They tried something similar, yeah

prisma latch
#

I remember seeing a really old support ticket at one point regarding this issue where the support team basically told user that "the system is meant to be automated so that you don't lose data by mistake. the way to manually delete save data is to just not do that ever. give up, user."

#

the system works this way by design. no manual control, only exploitative workarounds

#

yeah that's actually the exact post which introduced me to these workarounds

#

but its a bit out of date and doesn't quite work the way the post says, anymore

#

it was still the first thing I tried tho

young fjord
#

Ah, that's unfortunate

prisma latch
#

their explanation of how the cloud saves works is 100%, just the erasure procedure is a bit diff.

#

maybe its not working because I'm doing it wrong - its been a while since I had to reengineer it

wet cliff
#

Here's the thing. Do not even bother altering Steam Cloud.

#

I'd love to tamper it to undo achievements so I can redo them. But anything that tampers files outside my hardware are borders i'd rather not tamper.

long holly
#

don't launch the game via steam?

#

not sure how simple that is, since I primarily am a GOG customer

#

on macOS at least, making a copy of the game and executing it directly seemed to avoid syncing save-data. the one time i tried.

mild falcon
#

iirc sgg games aren't tied to steam drm, so you can launch them without steam

obtuse monolith
#

everyone named the stowaway gae right

long holly
#

some people have!

#

i seem to be the only one who picked Chae

mild falcon
#

i called her nae 🐴

warped bay
#

i went with tae and then gae

obtuse monolith
#

i thought abt mae or zhae but like gae is objectively the funniest option

spiral osprey
#

it is fantastic but i called her fae

onyx forum
#

rhae was my first gae was my second current run is bae!!!

gentle otter
#

bae was my first and only

#

but im due for another pyre run soon..

blissful trench
#

fae... because she's a blessed changeling faerie child

prime moth
#

i picked fae in my playthrough because i thought i was legitimately supposed to guess her real name

#

and fae seemed like the most likely

#

found out later that was NOT the case

spark cloud
#

i picked Lae first run idk why

vale oxide
#

I went with Xae

vestal bluff
#

All y'all are weird, Shae is the real option

ripe stag
#

I went with mae

#

But every run after has been fae

dense karma
#

Fae is clearly correct.

#

This reminds me that I need to finish this game.

obtuse monolith
#

i did gae on my first playthru (that i didnt. finish, but i stopped playing for like over a year so itd be dumb to go back to it) and im doing gae again

ripe stag
#

I like how when you select gae for a rite the voice kind of sighs before saying it

#

Like he's annoyed that you went with the immature choice lol

obtuse monolith
#

FSDLKFJDS

#

it gets me every time tbh

onyx forum
#

bae tells you not to pick it

#

it cannot be this one, right....? i cant wait for ppl 20 years from now who dont know what bae meant to play this game

mild falcon
#

a rereleased version will have an annotation, like in the shakespeare books, giving a detailed history of the term "bae"

long holly
#

internally the game calls her Mae

#

but i couldn't pick Mae because conflict with Mae Borowski

#

:P

can't remember but it seemed fitting

pliant sigil

I went for fae as well

placid cosmos
#

i had trouble picking between xae and chae

#

she was 100% one of my favourite characters though, she was so sweet

#

i left her in the downside to be with almer :( i felt so bad about it

pliant sigil
#

i won all the liberation rites in my playthrough so she got to escape the downside while almer stayed in there

#

i think she went on to become a scholar or something?? it's been like a year since i finished

ripe stag
#

She becomes regarded as a holy figure

#

Basically a saint of the scribes

pliant sigil

even better

i won them all too but i chose volfred over her

wavering on the edge of buying Pyre. Anyone have a favorite aspect to share to help nudge me? :P

lime mural
#

it s by supergiant games

terse temple
#

that is a very convincing point

lime mural
#

jokes aside..! pyre s lore really pulls you in !! the characters are very varied and they all have something that makes them unique and they re all very lovable tizomg tizo for example stole my heart in a split second
the gameplay may not be for everyone , it certainly wasn t for me when i started out but i really started to enjoy it after getting used to it and it blends really well with the story

#

also.. logan cunningham 🍊

terse temple
#

yeah the only reason I didnt buy it when it came out is because the gameplay didnt seem my style but its good to hear that the lore is so entrancing. I do love some good worldbuilding

lime mural
#

it was rather tough at first but unlike hades you can change the difficulty to the easiest and roll with that
the story really is worth it even if the gameplay isn t the type to float your boat squirtnya

#

the characters who join eventually + items you get also enrich the gameplay so there s that

terse temple
#

hearing that story was worth it from somebody that wasnt particularly interested in the gameplay was actually very insightful. I think you sold me haha

#

because that would probably be me

lime mural
#

im glad squirtdevious i believe this ll be a very good decision

#

oh god how could i forget

#

darren korb s music..

terse temple
#

oh of course

#

I have a playlist of Darren Korb's music that I listen to

#

and it has Pyre music in there even though I have never played the game haha

lime mural
#

when you hear the music in the game it has a different kind of effect on you
i haven t played pyre in ages but.. i listen to the music often and i can t deny it feels more indulging when you hear it in-game

#

it s... a complete experience

terse temple
#

that makes sense actually

pliant sigil

READAH

#

I never get chills the same way when I listen to Zulf's song as when I hear it in context in Bastion

so I totally get that

lime mural

mhm ! im pretty sure you ll love pyre one way or another
who knows , you might end up liking the gameplay like me , buuuut if not you have tons of lore to keep you on the edge of your seat

i hope u enjoy pyre ✨

I am going to buy it when I get home, looking forward to hearing Darren's music in context!

In harp society, males are rare and therefore royalty

The harp prince ran away, without anyone knowing where he went

ron a harp prince.

mild falcon

Turns out he got captured, tossed into the downside

#

Prince "Falcon" Ron, unwilling to accept his title

😮

#

real ron discourse ron

mild falcon
#

Instead chose a simple merchant life

blissful trench
#

adopted by a slug-ogre, the only father figure he's ever had, and calls him "papi"

#

guys I really like this 'theory'(?) XD

mild falcon
#

Maybe papi's a crone male or something

#

I'm tempted to write "ballad of the falcon"

#

Explain that he was disfigured or something, a story about true inner beauty

blissful trench
#

I mean nobody knows what harp princes look like... not even most harps

#

maybe they just be like that

mild falcon
#

None of the harps in the game suspect him, so I can't imagine he's too normal

blissful trench
#

poor Ron XD

mild falcon
#

He's exactly where he wants to be, I think

#

One must imagine Ron happy

blissful trench
#

fair enough, he's making the best of things and that's admirable

mild falcon
#

Maybe he even cast himself down, in the dead of night

#

It would explain how he managed to get all those valuable wares

blissful trench
#

once he was the prince of harps
now he eats humble pie

His skill of talking endlessly about nothing comes from his royal upbringing

faint umbra
#

Issue is, in a speedrun of Pyre, the most important part for your time would not be how fast you win the Rites but how fast you skip through the text.

mild falcon
#

youd have to meticulously memorize every dialogue selection to make sure the text is as short as possible

sturdy cove
#

Or just remember a few key selections and always go through em
Bind the click to scroll wheel and just scroll instead of mashing

heavy hill
#

and even then the run would not be particularly fast

#

because of all the downtime, Blackwagon travel time, and text

eager hatch
#

@mild falcon unfortunately ron the harp prince is disproven

#

because ron is stated to be a member of a race indigenous to the downside

mild falcon
#

...all part of the ruse

#

im curious now, where does that lore come from?

wide river
#

it's from the book of rites, if lumi's talking about what i think she is!

#

There are natives in this land, with some capacity for thought, and oddly keen instinct for the mercantile. Suspicious creatures, but not disagreeable, entirely.

mild falcon
#

explains why no one questions ron, but i dont think it destroys the theory

#

he isnt the same species as the person he's on the back of

ripe stag
#

Yes he is

#

That's his dad

#

They're both slug people

mild falcon
#

i guess they both have eye stalks

eager hatch
#

@wide river yeah that was it thanks

#

I couldn't remember where it came from

#

which is why I didn't cite it in more detail

faint umbra
#

Alright, it's been a year, time to go for the optimal Pyre playthrough with the best ending.

#

On True Nightwing with all Titan Stars on.

ripe stag
#

you poor soul

(well, except on Liberation Rites, I'm not that crazy, I know I can't beat Udmildhe)

#

(u can't turn off true nightwing)

faint umbra
#

I meant disable the Stars.

#

True Nightwing is easy.

onyx forum
#

ohhhhhh

faint umbra
#

I've already done TN with all Stars on. Won more than half the Rites, and won 4 of the Liberation Rites. It's really fun. But since I want the best ending, I'll disable the stars for Liberation Rites (except for Dalbert and Oralech, since I want to lose those).

Well, still won that first Rite. With all Titan stars active. My strategy: Rukey flinging the orb. 10 damage at a time on average.

Well, that and the 30 damage freebie when the Accusers just stand around doing nothing for the flinging tutorial.

Question

#

What happens when tabitha and pamitha are both liberated

spiral osprey
#
Tamitha was very skeptical that Pamitha could have played a beneficial role in the preceding events, and lashed out at her.
Pamitha made no attempt to elude the attack, and was struck full-on.
This cost Pamitha the use of her right wing. Yet, after she recovered, she shrugged the incident aside, and said maybe they would call it even, now.
From that point on, the blood-sisters kept a formal distance, but were cordial with each other```
ember wraith
#

Ok then

#

Ignarius gets to be liberated instead

#

Thanks

wet cliff
#

Is it even possible to do True Nightwing and good enough to manipulate specific scenarios so you liberate people you want?

#

I know I was able to conquer all of FTL and Into the Breach's achievements all on Hard difficulty. But I think it'll require a lot of practice to become godlike in this game.

#

I guess doing a single perfect hardest difficulty run is something to aim for.

faint umbra
#

Liberating the people you want on True Nightwing is pretty easy if you're good. Ended up with more health than what I started with on the first Liberation Rite. Doing it on True Nightwing with 12 stars on, that's beyond my capabilities. Once I get my Gilman perked up and geared up, I can win nearly all Rites even with 12 stars on. Keyword being "nearly". Lendel and his demon pals, Udmildhe, freaking Tamitha, they're insane.

#

Also, if someone does a perfect hardest difficulty run (which means without any loss), please make it a video series. Would really want to see how you handle the first cycle, as it's really hard winning without any perks when facing enemies with incredible buffs. Barker with +8 Presence and +8 Quickness is insane. Add to that the fact that everybody comes back instantly if you banish everybody, that they don't take much time to come back even if you don't because of their high Hope, that they can plunge without losing a person, that they deal more damage to a Pyre that's already not that healthy to begin with and that they heal when they douse your Pyre? Hell, simply someone winning the first Dissidents Rite on True Nightwing with all Stars on I'd love to see.

#

The first Essence rite, too, is insane. No Jodariel, which means you lose your best defence, no Gilman, you lose your best attack. Obligatory Pamitha, with no perks at all, making her vastly inferior in stats to any of her opponents, with no tricks to succeed.

wet cliff
#

If I'm going to make a perfect hardest difficulty run, I might do it in regards to the perfect storyline/ending rather than no-losses.

#

But if I do become really engrossed with the core gameplay enough, I might go for such a thing.

#

I do need aid in character meta knowledge the moment I try to attempt it.

young folio
#

People who do tn all titan stars runs are so brave

#

I wanted the achievement but was not very good at the game so I meticulously staged my tn playthrough to just lose EVERY rite

wet cliff
#

I know Supergiant don't do sadistic achievements, unlike some of my other games. But I'm really surprised they didn't make an achievement wherein you need to do a full walkthrough (new game+ at least) where all debuffs are present in any of their games.

mild falcon
#

There's a 12 limiter run in transistor

vale oxide
#

fun fact: you can reset rites on True Nightwing, it's just more annoying bc you have to exit the game to do it

wet cliff
#

if you win every liberation rite, how many of your members are left again?

obtuse monolith
#

2 or 3 depending on if you free yourself

wet cliff
#

I'm planning out the perfect ending scenario for me

#

that means letting Volfred, Ti'zo and Oralech stay in the downside, all the New Nightwings (including me) be liberated

#

The Crone stay with Volfred

#

and that leaves Fae and the adopted guy from The Fates be together (possibly both liberated?)

#

that does mean allowing some losses especially against Oralech

#

I once weighted the choice of freeing all the original Nightwings along with Oralech. But that would mean letting Hedwin down and sad whether it be me separated from them or all new nightwings stuck in the downside.

#

I got a question.

#

If the Fates won a single liberation rite, do they still continue to play for another cycle? There's 2 major NPCs in their team.

vestal bluff
#

No, if the Fate win their Liberation Rite, they sit out, just like the others

Here's the thing about when "Never to Return" plays over and over and over and over and over again. The second time it plays, your immediate thought is not, "Hey someone's playing 'Never to Return' again." It's, "Hey, 'Never to Return' is a lot longer than I first thought, and it has like a dip in the middle."

doing the very action of the vibration of the purring is like one of those skills which people would think are easily done and outright ordinary. But there will be people who can't do it.

You gotta relax your tongue and breathe on it. Easier said than done tbh

#

nerdery time: a lot of americans, depending on region and dialect, pronounces a bunched r instead of a retroflex r

#

and trilling a bunched r is basically impossible

#

but otherwise they sound the same

#

if you can't roll your Rs it might just be because you produce R in a different way from, say, spanish speakers

Did SGG ever make an announcement about Pyre for the Switch?

spiral osprey
#

DwarvenHydra asked about 3 weeks ago: "I sent an email to them not too long ago asking about porting Pyre to Switch. They said they currently have no plans to do so, as they’re trying to focus on Hades, but it’s still up for consideration for when they finish."

faint umbra
#

So, I beat the Chastity on TN with all stars, and even managed to earn 45 sols by dousing the pyre within 5 seconds of saluting.

#

I'm now done with the second Liberation Rite. Liberated Rukey during the first one (used only 3 Stars, I'm not that crazy) and liberated Almer during the second one (used all stars since I intended to lose anyway, only managed to get them down to 50 HP)

fun fact, my actual "pyre stuff" folder does not have any fullbody jodi sprites, they're all located in the joke dating sim content folder

What’s up with the little bubbles at the bottom of that Jodi sprite?

Oh huh, it kinda looks strange but we’re not meant to see the full sprite with mortal eyes so

Foot note in book of rites confirms Jodi as a fluid

i assume she's carrying bouldy and this is a spinoff

You know you're using too many Titan Stars when Barker has more presence than Jodariel stumptScary

Yiiiiiiiikes wow

#

Good luck with that

faint umbra

Well, the Dissidents are still an easy bunch because they can't surpass Gilman's speed and their presence is not too bad. Demons with nearly 40 presence will make a barrage that you can't get through without heavy shenanigans.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

terse temple
#

trying to not look in here too often so I dont find any big spoilers, but I have been lightly playing Pyre and you guys were right that even though I am not the biggest fan of the gameplay its still just so... it just pulls me in

#

I even enjoy dusting out the wagon and poking the drive imps

#

main frustration so far: not remembering the keybinds so I accidentally do X when I wanted to do Y

#

favorite part so far: how cool Jodariel is

vestal bluff
#

Did you shave Rukey's moustache?

#

This determines your worth as a person btw

terse temple
#

I didnt know that was a thing?? Disclosure: I have only played like 4 rites so far

vestal bluff
#

Doesn't Rukey ask you pretty early on what you think of his moustache?

#

Well, if you kept it, then you're a good person

terse temple
#

I dont think he has asked me what I think of his mustache

#

but I will have to consider that

#

because you are right, that is a very serious question

vestal bluff
terse temple
#

I appreciate how Jodariel is not just a human with horns. There is a different feel to her than that.

#

and also how the mask covers her horns, which greatly amused me for some reason

#

@lime mural oh yeah, you were the one that helped me decide to buy Pyre. I havent had much chance to play it but I am definitely enjoying it so far.

lime mural
#

hi !! OOHHH im so glad to hear that squirtnya you ll enjoy it even more as you progress

terse temple
#

im sure :D

vestal bluff
#

So, it's interesting that you say that about Jodariel. Do you yet know how Demons come to be in the Downside?

terse temple
#

nope

lime mural
#

shhh squirtdevious

vestal bluff
#

I know!

terse temple
#

lol, thanks, appreciated

#

I wanna find that out

lime mural
#

its not that heavy of a spoiler i think , but its still a lot more rewarding to find out on your own as you play

#

i hope the rites didn t prove to be too much of a challenge for ya

terse temple
#

yeah I am already pretty attached to the world building and I am barely into it

#

the rites so far have been so basic that even with my fumbling I kind of squash them. Once I stop messing up my fumbling around I will probably up the difficulty from normal

lime mural
#

mhm at some point you get used to the gameplay and you can adapt to playing with 2-3 characters at a time

vestal bluff
#

Seconding that

#

Once you get the hang of the controls, the Rites become so much fun

terse temple
#

is there a way to more predictably switch characters or at least know who you are switching to? Because thats definitely one area that I dont get. The switches feel very unintuitive to me so far

#

all I know of is the spacebar to.... semi-randomly? switch

lime mural
#

if i remember correctly, it switches to the nearest character

#

could be wrong though

vestal bluff
#

Sort of

#

So, the way it's done is that you hold down the spacebar, move the mouse toward the character you want to switch to, then release the spacebar

terse temple
#

it doesnt feel like its consistent but I might have just not noticed the pattern

#

OH

vestal bluff
#

You'll see a line from your active character to the character you're going to switch to

terse temple
#

I always just tapped, so I never saw the line

#

wonderful, that will definitely make it much more consistent, thank you haha

vestal bluff
#

Any time

terse temple
#

that would be why it felt random before :P

vestal bluff
#

Switching between exiles is the hardest thing to do, so don't worry too much about it

#

Hell, I've played 7 (I think?) campaigns, and I still miss my switching every now and then

terse temple
#

fair enough

#

alright I am going to make my retreat to avoid all the people talking about the game indepth and potentially spoiling things I want to discover myself :P
Thanks for the suggestion to buy the game and the tip about character switches haha

heady karma
#

I want them to add some sort of "quickcast" for swapping

#

like an option that lets you start the swap the first frame you hit it

tough hinge
#

you can reconfigure your keyboard to make 1 and 3 your specific partners! That's what I did and it helped a lot to avoid long swaps

heady karma
#

is it still hold?

#

or does it go as soon as you press

tough hinge
#

nope, just a tap!

heady karma
#

Awesome thanks

#

current solution is just using a macro that holds space for the minimum amount of time

#

1-3 seems like a better choice

tough hinge
#

oof yeah aha

heady karma
#

can confirm that 1-3 are not quickcast

#

Im p sure

#

idk

#

still feels like the ai has a faster swap speed

vestal bluff
#

1-3 are definitely just hit the button and it switches

heady karma
#

hm...

#

ill give it another try

tough hinge
#

I remapped my keys to be the fps basic setting so I could play more to what I prefer, perhaps they're already assigned to other buttons in your settings?

#

I'm assuming you're playing on PC that is

regal heart
#

Spacebar it does whoever is closest relative to the mouse

lavish ridge
#

tbh I highly recommend playing on controller if possible

#

I might be biased because I played it on PS4 before getting it on PC, but the controller is much more intuitive

#

I tried it and then ended up hooking my Dualshock up to my PC

#

Though if the keyboard config you’re using feels good then I’ll need to try that out 👀

faint umbra
#

I can confirm keyboard is great.

long holly
#

controller is far more natural to me, for this game.

Sir. Gilman got all the potions for the final rite on True Nightwing, with all stars on for this one. Still lost (although that was the plan, which is why I used 12 stars for that Liberation Rite). I'm way too rusty, I was able to win when I did it last year.

I need help!!!

#

Should I lose let Dalbert free or win and let Volfred free

Do as you feel.

Don't let other people make that choice for you.

But I don’t know what choice I want

I mean I only lost one liberation rite so I guess one more wont do much harm

Your first playthrough is really important. You'll have time to explore other options in other playthroughs later.

Poor old man stole my heart the moment I saw him

In that case, I recommend using as many Titan Stars as you can, for the achievements. Just don't forget to let him win if you actually start winning.
