gotta invest in the mastery that lets him auto-implode
who did you run against them?
essence can be tricky tbh
valid totem
oh no 
OOOOH NNOOOOO
now i gotta face essence at fall of soliam again
i knew it was gonna happen 
welp, this is gonna suck
you better don't get your hopes up, ||Hedwyn||
timid silo
I found him to be the most useful against them! Easy to time his jump and hit them as they fly overhead
valid totem
eeeh - i'm not really feeling it
timid silo
I'll be That Person and also say that while it's great to go with the flow and let the cards fall where they may, there's also a restart rite button in the pause screen for those who may feel so inclined.
valid totem
thanks but naaaah - i'm not gonna do that
i'd rather participate in the story and see where it takes me
even if i screw it up every now and then 
valid totem
Godspeed, Moon-touched one 
valid totem
ok - how the hell am i supposed to do sandra's trial for tizo?
i've been banging my head against it for almost an hour now
lavish ridge
some of the trials are really hard! i honestly just sat there for a bit and kept trying til i could figure it out. make sure to try out different held items for ti'zo too!
mild falcon
and it's especially good if you learn to fly him well, like you have to in order to win the trial
yeah inf stamina
sharp rivet
Yeah once I got it I never unequipped it
mild falcon
the weird thing about tizo is i never cast with him
blowing up the infinite fly guy seems pretty bad deal
i think the second best tali for tizo would be black claw
mild falcon
well, i guess you get to win with tizo forever then
valid totem
i'm...
still not the biggest fan of his playstyle
valid totem
Bae || i guess that's the name most of us picked for her 
|| was really fun
Rukey, Gilman, Jodi
i've had the most fun with them
mild falcon
so you do like the go fast a little bit at least
valid totem
yeah
mild falcon
dunno, the way i play tizo is to dip and dodge around every enemy
they jump just slightly too late to catch me
fly and zip around the whole map
valid totem
i like to have this smooth, continuous sprint
mild falcon
oh i can see that
valid totem
http://prntscr.com/qs0cxb
ooooohhhh this is going to be fun 
like spamming a whole stack of Jaunt() combined with Spark() between two points
mild falcon
i feel like i never played gilman the way he was meant to be played
like there's some hidden depth to his kit
valid totem
the secret ingredient is || speed||
mild falcon
give him that tailwind crest
valid totem
i mean - he's fast enough
he's rocking a lvl20 moon crest which gives him a 60% chance of respawning after i... inevitably overcorrect a corner and drift straight into someone's aura
that... happens a lot to me 
valid totem
and on the topic of different playstyles
Bertrude is a beast 
i just wiped three opponents with one cast!
midnight hawk
bertrude is killer
faint umbra
The secret ingredient to Gilman is throw.
He's the only character you need.
Don't even need a full triumvirate.
faint umbra
Gilman's simply amazing. Rush to the pyre, zigzag to dodge opponents, then throw the orb in instantly. You've scored nearly the maximum amount of points you could, and you get to keep Gilman.
sharp rivet
Bertrude plus prayer beads = how I managed to finish TN
faint umbra
Gilman= how I managed to finish TN with all 12 stars on every single rite.
vestal bluff
The key to Gilman is to let go of the sprint button when you’re making sharp turns
This is why it’s harder to play him with controller - it takes a split sec for the trigger to retract, compared with just letting go of a key
valid totem
hold up
it's an honest to god football field 😆
or pyre-field, whatever
i don't know why but it cracks me up
oh this is great
i'm loving this so far
|| well - maybe besides that ti'zo trial from sandra - i'm still salty about that ||
mild falcon
hehe yeah it's a real good gag
valid totem
they gotta fix the roof though
mild falcon
im a big fan of the comedic timing
valid totem
it's leaking

like bumping into other caravans and annoying everyone

who is bertrude?
I have played through to the point of setting free three of my party members - have I just not played enough to encounter (i assume her) her?
midnight hawk
brave mortar
how do you unlock her? i never got a hag on my team :/
small aspen
Keep playing
mild falcon
you unlock her pretty late yeah
small aspen
Yeah
timid silo
Third cycle iirc, so she should be on the team after the third liberation rite..?
sharp rivet
Yeah like it’s a cutscene where ||Volfred introduces her to the crew between cycles||
Cutscene is the wrong word but like a text interaction that you can’t miss
valid totem
oh god
i just talked to Volfred about Erisa's backstory
oooh this story isn't going to end well 
i better put my sad pants on while i have the time for it

this might just be the only game to make me feel bad for winning
and feel good about losing

Pyre might be the only game where the end credits actually made me cry (although not the only game that made me cry in itself).
valid totem
i'm totally not crying though 
faint umbra
It's so beautiful how they depend on your experience, makes them feel much more personal.
valid totem
you're crying
valid totem
yeah, well - i guess supergiants are three for three now in making me cry with their games
this time i didn't even have to wait till the end credits - it got me right at the first liberation rite
if they keep at it, by the time their 6th game rolls in i might just start bawling my eyes out in the main menu 
thick carbon
I see a supergiant game and I start Pavlov sobbing
vernal harbor
i heard that such sobbing has detox effects on human body

could be
i happened to play bastion and transistor in some... crucial turning points in my life and i found them to be really cathartic, in a sense
and pyre is no exception
valid totem
also - can we agree for Bae to be the canon name for the moon-touched girl?
i mean - come on - is there anyone who didn't pick it? 
dusk current
I think you will find very quickly that most people are pretty passionate about their Moontouched Girl naming choices. 😄
small aspen
i like any that are alliterative
valid totem
i'm willing to die on that hill 
it's Bae!
also - i can't even begin to describe how happy i was when at the end i learned that Jodariel took care of her
like - that was what i wanted since my second liberation rite
I chose Jodi to go first and after that i was like "ok, if i set Bae free, i hope Jodi finds her and takes her in"
and that's kinda what happened in the end

Why is Sandra so amazing and great?
valid totem
i dunno - she got angry at me for some reason halfway through the game

i'd be angry if i was stuck in an orb too, probably!
valid totem
that orb looks kinda comfy ngl
well - not for over 800 years, but...
for a solid 8 hour nap, tops

that Ti'zo trial got my blood boiling

Every hour is Sandra appreciation hour. 💚

Sandra is cool and all, but...
any love for Tariq? 
the first time i saw his silhouette in the wagon i was like "oh it's probably going to be some grandpa with a guitar"
and then he popped out and i was like "wow you're tall"
torn bolt
tariq is nice
valid totem
completely different than i thought he might look like
torn bolt
you'll have to wait for tomorrow evening for kam to get back online, they could gush about tariq and celeste forever, hahah
valid totem
i mean - hey
i'd ship them
but seriously though - i love this game's approach to relationships
there's so many different angles to it between all the different characters and to my surprise - i was somehow able to remember most of them
there's a lot going on between them - positive, negative and everything in between and it all feels... human and relatable
torn bolt
i don't ship tariq or celeste but i love them as characters
yeah!
i think you can see some of the relationship approach spill over to hades
valid totem
i haven't played hades yet so...
i wouldn't know

and 
? piiiinged
Yaesssss.
valid totem
folks - i have a question
this thing's been bugging me this morning
so - Erisa and Oralech, right?
we know how that thing went down - Oralech won the liberation rite and just as he was about to step into the shimmer pool, Erisa pushed him down, went in herself and... died
i just watched a video where someone let the Fate win and...
in there Dalbert pushed his son in and... it worked this time?
even though it was Dalbert's time
so...
what's different here?
main elk
I'm trying to play this game and my cursor is flickering back to the windows cursor, and I can't find a fix online. Does anyone know how to fix this?
valid totem
oh yeah that happened to me once - it was flickering between that gamepad circle thingy and the default cursor
restarting the game helped
it might have something to do with that built in windows game centre... thingy (i don't know what's it called) - it started freaking out once i used that in game pop up... thing || seriously though i need some coffee ||
small aspen
difference in liberation rites might be giving vs snatching
timid silo
Was about to say that
small aspen
the scribes are into the sacrifice yourself for others thing
also verifying files is always a good idea if you haven't
timid silo
||final lib rite|| shows that you can offer your place
main elk
I've done that and tried setting the exes to compatibility mode but the issue persists :/
I'm waiting for the verification to finish now. Hopefully that helps
valid totem
yeah - i guess you're right
|| thanks, Bertrude, for letting me go ||
timid silo
To someone else. It is yours to give. Self-evidently you can't take it from someone else.
main elk
None of that seems to have worked :(
valid totem
welp
i guess you'll have to call in the big guns
as in - ping someone higher up or shoot them a tech support thingy or something i dunno
main elk
honestly it's easy to get used to, just visual anyway. it was just a little distracting
small aspen
if you have a controller how about unplugging it?
main elk
I've also unplugged all other possible inputs like my controller and pen tablet. Still flickers
small aspen
wow that's one stubborn issue
wide river
🤔 sounds daft but do you use f.lux?
valid totem
it kinda sounds like it's related to some third party overlay
like discord overlay or that weird windows game thingy
maybe you have one of those turned on?
main elk
I don't have f.lux and I've also turned off any overlays I could find like the nvidia one and discord's
valid totem
huh
maybe you could ping one of the devs about it?
but i dunno if we can do that here so 
main elk
Re: the game though; knowing nothing about it, for some reason i thought this was gonna be a card game of some kind? Surprised it turned out to be basically basketball, but am enjoying nonetheless
valid totem
a... card game? 
main elk
it sort of just gave off that vibe to me 🤷
valid totem
i mean - i get why you might get that idea
every now and then you get some free time there and you have to pick one of three activities you want to pursue and they are represented as three cards in the middle of the screen
main elk
oh the vocations are cute; love the little interactions within them :)
valid totem
ye 
there's a lot of cute stuff in this game
BUUUUUUT i don't want to spoil anything 
just... don't scroll up cause there's a whole lotta spoilers in here
main elk
Yeah that makes sense, but if i happen to catch one accidentally, I don't mind so much
stray jolt
i think the thing about dalbert is that he anointed his son at the last second
while oralech was already anointed but erisa went in anyway
valid totem
btw - mad respect for Dalbert
like - i felt bad when winning against Fate
i just want to shake his hand like
"good game, sir"
small aspen

He beat me in the final rite of that "season" and I wasn't mad at all when I saw the conclusion of it.
valid totem
now - here's the most important question
who would win in an arm wrestling contest?
Jodi or ||Doom guy|| ? 
my money is on Jodariel
opal thunder
I concur with this assessment
faint umbra
Definitely Gilman
faint umbra
can't lose an arm contest if you don't have arms to put down

by that logic - this is the Downside Armwrestling Champion 👉

oh hey - one more question
what was the deal with howlers just... suddenly appearing on the world map?
mild falcon
when does that happen

like 3/4th in the game

HELL yeah

i dunno - i wasn't trusting him for quite some time
when he showed up the first time i was like " 
you're awfully vague about a lot of stuff, mate "
midnight hawk
yeah before i met him i wasd like hmm this could end poorly but then i learned more about him and now he's my grandpa
unborn copper
@valid totem my thoughts exactly, he was being vague and deliberately withheld a lot of vital information. It made me think for a while that he was scheming something to put himself before the rest of the team.
dusky cradle
I would pay good money to sit with Volfred and pass around his pipe.
lime mural
i havent stopped playing the game since i got it today omg
god i forgot this game was this good
timid silo
Volf's a visionary, an idealist and an overachieving schemer who isn't always exactly in touch with how other people perceive him and that's 500% my jam. So. Volfred loving hours ALL DAY EVERY DAY.
His name literally means 'seeks peace' 😭 (...his surname literally means he's a tree)
valid totem
i always thought his last name was a pun regarding his wooden playstyle
seriously - volfred is really, really good...
at keeping that bench nice and warm
i can see the potential there for some 200iq galaxy brain plays
i'm just not digging it
small aspen
I found the best way to play for me was to set the sprout immediately then boop the enemy with the bigger shared aura til they got wiped
That or put it right on top of the orb then hide while someone else takes em out
valid totem
yeah that sapling thing was kinda useful
but by the time i started using it i upgraded that talizman for Ti'zo to the max just as someone here told me to
and then i just did this
http://prntscr.com/qt7uy5
try snatching the orb there, buddy

👌
Hey that reminds me
Is anything reflected by the sap shield if they're attacked by a wyrm or harp aura cast
I assume not but that would be interesting if it was the case
valid totem
dunno
small aspen
Getting banished by your own aura is a good meme either way

...say, is tree person sitting on a wooden bench similar to the feeling of a human sitting on a slab of beef or something?

i read that as "Leather couch is a pretty good companion"

They're not made of actual tree person but something adjacent and not like fresh wood

Yes.

You should always
Take Sandra with you.
Arguably the most tormented Pyre character.
Always do right by Sandra, she deserves only good things.

i love her sm
but for some reason i never got the chance to talk to her about it
one time it just stopped letting me talk to her
did i have to finish all her trials? i think i was missing one only
timid silo
Yep! I think the prerequisite for her ending is talking to her at any given opportunity and also passing every trial that becomes available (liberating an exile with a still-unavailable trial should not disqualify you iirc)
lime mural
this is the saddest thing ever
i remembered to do volfreds trial right before the last rite
time to Replay this game
valid totem
Volfreds trial was super easy for me for some reason
Tizo however ...
|| I'm still salty about that ||

I think it's got to do with how good the item is
small aspen
I don't remember exactly how the trials went but in general i think i did worse with characters i was usually better with
While the ones i was less good at were easier
vernal harbor
(but leather is akin to bark and wooden bench has the bark removed so it’s like sitting on the flesh part of tree, hence I said beef)
vernal harbor
(tizo is so tiny and sneaking past rivals is fun)
bone is similar too yes
but wood chip is used as compost or “soil” for trees and orchids
Plus pyre tree people have wood where flesh is
small aspen
Also pretty sure lu sclorian has a wizardly beard
timid silo
We have two visuals: Manley's... whatever it is and Lu Sclorian's also whatever it is
ALSO Volfred's own carefully groomed beard
vernal harbor
Manley’s hair looked fake
small aspen
It's possible knowing him
timid silo
The Sap mask (presumably modelled on Lu Sclorian) has quite the leafy mane. Definitely plant-like. Manley has hair but it also looks fake to me too yeah
timid silo
There's a fancomic asking that very question
small aspen
Might make sense if they're fine with wood furniture
vernal harbor
That would be like beef jerky pipe for human
dusky cradle
Questions that are larger than life.
small aspen
Ivory in pipes is a thing right
timid silo
I like to picture Saps growing leaves in spring. Idk if we see a wintry Volfred, a shaved Volfred or a bald Volfred
dusky cradle
Aye, Ivory pipes are a thing.
Also I wish Sandra had more dialogue.
I only wish I could talk to her post-game even more. Have discussion with her. I mean, she has seen probably a lot of Nightwings and Readers so she probably has tons of tales to tell.
vernal harbor
and no more talking to her only once a while right? without the formalities of the rites, casual conversations can finally take place
things like how are you and what the weathers remind us, how the stars and clouds travel across the sky
So far most convo with her in-game were about rite or pain, only at the end if we brought her with us that she seemed to finally speak in a relaxed and cheerful way
dusky cradle
Aye. Spoilers for those who have not gone "all the way" with Sandra.
||In the post-game screen, when Sandra talks about the reader and how their relationship is so off the mark, she seems.. relaxed. But with her trademark sassyness in tact. Imagine being able to travel with Sandra in the new Commonwealth, finally giving her the ability to choose where to go. And where-ever she'd ask, you'd take her. Gosh. I should write something about that.||
Still, my favourite line from the entire Game is probably when Sandra says ||"Thank you, Reader.. Let us go then, from this place.|| Showing how she really wants to see other places and things. She craves freedom probably the most of all.

I freed the trio first because after sending Rukey up to be with his mom I didn't want to split the team, and Hedwyn was so upset that he couldn't fulfill his wish because I wasn't going with theeem

I made the ultimate promise-breaking to Hedwyn
I yeeted Oralech up but left myself downnnn
wide river
timid silo
Same. I know he keeps considering it a personal failure but I hope he'll also come around to seeing the reasoning behind our Readers' choices and also appreciate Oralech's companionship - as soon as they stop looking at each other like "who is that other dog and where did he come from", at least.

Best ending frees the original trio, Reader, Fae, Almer, Pamitha. Leaving og Nightwings to have fun together down there with Bertrude and Gilman.
lime mural
i always free gilman instead of pamitha bc i once freed her without freeing her sis and the ending was really sad so i leave both of them together
faint umbra
If you leave them together, she gets hurt though.
timid silo
They're sad either way :c I think all things considered I'd prefer to separate them, but I'm not passing on Pam's ending with Bertrude so they all stay down and that's that on that for me
cobalt elbow
My only ending is that I got out about every nightwing escaping, except the reader, Big Bertrude and Volfred Sandalwood. I always felt dread if every opponents would try to escape they would start a chaos up there. 
mild falcon
Well, isn't that what the nightwings do?
faint umbra
So you separated Almer and Fae and didn't help Hedwyn fulfill his promise. You monster.
timid silo
Almer and ae are very low on my priorities; Hedwyn's promise would be a lot higher but not high enough to follow through with it.
Getting Volfred to see the results of his plan and become prime minister is higher for me, and if he goes Oralech goes too and so does Ti'zo.
cobalt elbow
hey at least Hedwyn didn't feel so bad about it afterwards and come on, I would never feel right to let others to not get out. I felt bad sacrficing anyone, except the opponents, Big Bertrude, Volfred and the reader. It felt as they would be the fine the most.
native shard
i think i stayed down with ae and tizo and bertrude? i forget
cobalt elbow
maybe I can do a run where I fail every rite, but in head it already feels painful
valid totem
ooohhhh
you mean Bae
yup - i'm still up on that hill
i'm not coming down anytime soon 
mild falcon
Volf has something to say about that
valid totem
yeah, well
Bae is up here with the rest of us while Volfred stayed in the downside
i don't think his opinion matters anymore
torn bolt
i feel like volf went up for me just because i wasn't sure if the plan would work without him
i'm not.........super duper prioritizing his needs tbh
cobalt elbow
I always seen him as the guy that gives the idea and not the kind of type to lead and I for sure knew others can do well enough in his spot so I decided to keep em down.
mild falcon
Volf is a thought leader, cannot be trusted
timid silo
...his endings pointedly say otherwise but okay.
small aspen
most irl thought leaders are rubbish
they're usually overidealistic or corrupt
good thing volfred is neither
jagged pebble
i just finished pyre after getting it last week
Bound Together for the end credits is so cool
mild falcon
Well his endings aren't canon for me because I never let him out :P
jagged pebble
lol
but overall just the fact that theres a line for if you let the characters leave or make them stay as well as the different characters
is just an awesome thing to put in
mild falcon
Oh yeah it's really neat
jagged pebble
but yea
i almost kept the treeman because i wanted to let Fae out
timid silo
Remained ending is still "Sandalwood kept busy after that, as much as possible, providing counsel from afar to those who would be at the forefront of the birth of the Sahrian Union. Of course, being stranded in the Downside meant that there was only so much he could do."

my #blessedending is the one where ||volfred, oralech, and ti'zo are all reunited on the surface after a peaceful revolution||
iirc it took some real finagling to pull off lmao
cobalt elbow
My chaotic ending is like ||where reader stays with crystalball waifu beneath the surface, becoming footprints due to never returning to others, volfred ending up there too with bertude. With other nightwings living well off at the surface while most opponents ended up with a bad end to their tale.||
||still kind of happy at least the coward knight captain got into relationship and left off many offsprings. At least they were happy. Forgot their name tho lol.||

Sir Deluge and Lady Seagrass. Come on, how can you be a fan if you don't know the names of all members of every triumvirate 
cobalt elbow
I swear I am a fan. I vaguely remember how the stars look.
torn bolt
oh, you think you're a rites fan? name all eight scribes and the titans they each personally killed 
nah you're good
everyone's got different focuses tbh
faint umbra
I remember most of those. Mostly Jomuer and Ha'ub's kills though because they were really badass.
cobalt elbow
Yeah was kidding around too but I swear names of people are bane of me unless they are very simple. Can I get a pyre patch where it gives an option for simple names? 😔

@lime mural unfortunately i gave it away. turned out one friend wanted it.
lime mural
hey can someone explain this to me?
i dont quite understand how the gameplay of pyre actually works
like whats your goal/what are u trying to do
mild falcon
the story tries to convince you that its not basketball
but its just basketball
get the ball into the opponent's fire
prevent the opponent from getting the ball into your fire
thats what the matches are like
lime mural
how long are matches?
mild falcon
depends on the players
10-15 min???
its hard to tell when you're playing it i guess
very exciting
lime mural
hnm
but then wouldnt the game be very very short then
if all u do is play basketball matches
mild falcon
well you play a lot of them
and also there's dialogue
characters talk to you and you talk to them
and if you say the right things their stats will increase??
also they're very nice to talk to
also there's a whole book you can read if you're a nerd
lime mural
hmm
native shard
its a visual novel that sometimes has basketball, not a basketball game that sometimes has visual novel things
torn bolt
also there's a whole book you can read if you're a nerd hey
you saying everyone Didn't read the whole book their first playthrough?
cobalt elbow
What book? You guys didn't listen to the voice acting? 
broken raft
I wish I didn’t have to play basketball. I’m dreadfully bad at it and it’s preventing me from finishing the game

i mean, the game will continue even if you lose
it works your wins and losses into the plot
small aspen
Play on easy mode
No shame if that's more fun for you
Or any other time really
But especially not then
broken raft
easy mode might be the way to go, yeah.
fading dove
~also you can just have tizo die behind the enemy pyre with moon sigil and make Jodi step through the portal~
broken raft
you mean like replay rites till I get them?
tried that. it just means more basketball
timid silo
Easy mode!!
Game's got one, it's there to be used when sacred basketball doesn't sound like fun!
broken raft
I'll just have to come here every time I get frustrated and have you guys motivate me uwu;
torn bolt
yeah if you easy mode + restart rites it's not that hard tbh
but yes i'm also happy to motivate : >
copper ridge
also, use sandra's training sessions
really helped me understanding the indivdual mechanics of all the nightwing members
small aspen
sandra is the best for many reasons
timid silo
That's all if one has fun with the gameplay - I did, I sucked, I was very happy to use both Sandra's training and the restart rite button to git gud. If one doesn't have fun... I hope easy mode and some minimal restarting during the... rites that matter... can do the trick with minimal exposure to fantasy sportsball!
broken raft
I don't absolutely hate the rites, I think they're pretty cool in concept, but it's just not really my thing and I enjoy the story much more T.T but I hope lowering the difficulty will help
timid silo
There's a pretty sharp variation of the enemy AI between difficulties, I'm pretty confident it'll help!
broken raft
I’m hyped now owo I just have to wait till I get back home lol
timid silo
How far did you get?
broken raft
uhm, like at the point where ||something about the stars dying and the rites being finite|| but nothing much further than that
torn bolt
do you mean ||the stars disappearing?|| or ||what happened after they wrote the book?||
torn bolt
||i'm not sure but i'd like to think not||
vernal harbor
||you can claim that the stars joined you||
torn bolt
||maybe they took a break or went to get a different job or something. like. moved on a bit? but they're already kind of god-entities assuming they became stars.||
vernal harbor
||it's possible that they are the seals on the titan stars and now the seal came off||
mild falcon
They turned into the rites
They gave their lives so that we may yet have ours
Isn't that how it goes
vernal harbor
metaphorically yes
torn bolt
god the poignancy of 'gave their freedom so we may yet have ours'
pyre still can make me tear up a little
forest girder
||I still find weird they forgave the Emperor and Khaylmer but condemned poor Sandra to a eternity trapped on an orb||
Like c'mon guys, that's cold
mild falcon
Important to remember that the scribes are pretty rude
torn bolt
they weren't perfect
also note that it's lu 'pacifist' sclorian who says he forgives khaylmer
lu sclorian: i forgive him 😌
gol golathanian from off screen: i don't!
forest girder
I thought they forgave him and then he met his end for an unrelated reason
vernal harbor
it sounds like it's not implausible that somebody murdered him and then wrote that the Mantle did it
considering that no other animated objects had been observed in that universe
vernal harbor
[murderer]: (strangulating khaylmer with the Mantle) technically I did not lie
mild falcon
probably they killed the titans in their sleep too
unreliable narrators... the lot of them
vernal harbor
the mantle was definitely part of his death
timid silo
Wait, you can see his corpse?
torn bolt
yeah @timid silo if you look at the opening scroll for the isle of khaylmer rite stage
you can see a body wrapped up in the tattered mantle

Thanks! I was currently reinstalling the game to go check for myself in multplayer 😂 (youtube may be easier but eh)

someone on tumblr has full pictures they stitched together

its so great
i would just get so frustrated trying to get those color just right if i was gonna do somekind of landscape of the pyre map
vestal bluff
I love the stained-glass kind of look you see in the background environments
The way 'panels' of light sorta appear in the sky in, say, the Downside Prairie or Jomuer Valley
torn bolt
yess
downside prairie is so pretty
i still have huge early game nostalgia..........remember your first playthrough of pyre, anyone?
vestal bluff
It's the one disconnect between the gameplay and the lore that I'm completely fine with
Like, folks always talk about how desolate and barren and harsh the Downside is supposed to be, but you look at it and it's unfairly pretty
I kinda remember my first playthrough
I remember the ending hit hard
I was struck dumb for about 10 full seconds, looking at that library after hearing Bound Together for the first time
And then I'm like "Welp, I have no choice. I must do that again."
torn bolt
god MOOD
me too
also the downside can be desolate and pretty at the same time
like a lot of very difficult to inhabit areas are beautiful
deserts, rough mountains, wetlands.........
vestal bluff
True enough, but the appreciation one gets from those is most often a stark or austere sort of beauty
As opposed to the vibrancy of the Downside's environs
('Environs' is a word I've only ever seen Supergiant use btw so thx for that)
torn bolt
heeheheheh
i mean, some of them are pretty stark. like the nest of triesta or mount alodiel
but i take your point on others of them
downside prairie for example seems nice, though i think i remember milithe in her chapter saying most things there are poisonous
vestal bluff
Jomuer's chapter deals with a lot of the survival in the Downside sort of stuff
I believe both chapters mention stuff like that tho
mild falcon

there's fantasy hell that criminals (such as people who are literate) get thrown into in lieu of being executed, because of "mercy"
but surprise! there's a secret way of getting out, by assembling teams to play basketball and whoever wins the yearly tournament gets sent back up into the society that threw them in there in the first place
combine that with visual novel aspects and a major religious theme and you have Pyre™️
misty stirrup
wth

i've simplified it and made fun of it slightly but it's quite the incredible and gorgeous game

it's literally Fantasy sports rpg, and it is wonderful

would really recommend it if you're thinking about checking it out

You have to experience it to get it really
It’s half-visual-novel, half-fantasy-basketball game with a fantastic story and amazing music
It’s a really unique sort of game that is kinda difficult to describe exactly

I had a hard time with Ti'zo as well. No idea how I managed to win, but after losing about ten or more times, I blacked out and went into full Matrix mode. I want to say "I'm glad that is over with", but I love Pyre and am planning on replaying it.
grand current
I think that's exactly what I did. I didn't cast anything, because I was tired of pressing the button by accident and losing because Sandra's team was faster
jagged pebble
I only use Ti’Zos cast as a last resort
grand current
Ti'zo is great when you learn not to panic and forget that he blows up xD

also when you have the 'blows up automatically if he doesn't have the ball' mastery

Playing AI Dungeon, trying to go for a custom setting.
"You are a cur in the Downside. You are pursuing your freedom by partaking in Rites. You enter those Rites with two companions, another cur and a young man who is known to you as 'the Scholar'. The Scholar has been studying the Rites for some time now, but he hasn't come up with anything yet."
I wrote the setting up to "another cur and a". The game came up with the Scholar thing all on its own. Wonder if I can get the game to understand mystic basketball.

what sort of strange rites will the ai invent

Well, apparently there was a lot of murder involved. The Dissidents were very nice and not good at the game so they asked me to kill them. I need to learn how to write settings so the AI can do stuff with them. Maybe then AI Pyre will work.

There is a very limited number of words the voice does not use like an insult...

Yeah, it represents a Reader’s telepathy when you hear the words in English
merry cave
I'm having the worst time with True Nightwing Mode. I lost almost all of my matches so I'm not gaining character XP needed to keep up with the difficulty curve. If you fall behind enough it feels like its not worth playing more - should you delete the file and start a new game at that point? Something doesn't feel right about how to progress in this mode, more over having a multiple titan Starts active for additional XP chance.
How do people who have beaten this mode manage this?
small aspen
i've not played true nightwing mode yet, but considering that the game continues regardless of how much you win then whether you reset or not is up to your own judgement
and if it's not fun for you then starting a new file sounds like a good idea
vestal bluff
Which Titans are you having trouble with?
faint umbra
Sir Gilman shall be your saviour.
sharp rivet
honestly, if you start the very early game with all titans until it becomes unreasonable, you can get a bit of a jumpstart
merry cave
Thanks for the responses, I had to step away. The Titan Stars I'm running are:
Time-Singer Harn (+50% enemy stamina)
Bialanthius (+5 Damage Against Player Pyre)
Endriga the Widow (-30 Player Pyre Life)
Tattered Mantle (Slow Enemy Aura degen)
Dolnis the Locket (+5 Life to Enemy Pyre on Dousing Player Pyre)
I don't think the Titan Stars are really the thing that is stopping me, but I would like more active for the bonus XP. The AI just seems incredibly difficult. I don't know of a good strategy to overcome it.
Also, if there are items I should be prioritizing, I don't know what those would be. Nothing stands out as amazing to have but I do run life leech and the one that grants a death defiance to your pyre. Are there items worth saving for and pumping upgrade dust into?
vestal bluff
I've found the strongest items are:
Prayer Beads (your exile returns even if they plunged into the opponent's flame)
Webbed Lanthorn (Return an ally upon banishing an opponent)
Moon Crest (% chance to instantly return upon being banished)
Astral Eye (-3 Hope, but score more points no matter if you plunged or flung the Orb)
Endriga + Bialanthius are a scary combo, I'd pick one or the other to start. Tattered Mantle is also tough, especially with high-Presence opponents
Dolnis and Harn aren't so bad, as are the ones whose names I forget which give your opponents +30 life and +8 Hope
One of the more controversial things I'll say is that Yslach is also not as tough as it seems
merry cave
Thanks, I picked up the Webbed Lanthorn and changed out Endriga for DoLnis and Unfathomed Plurnes (+8 Quickness)
I'll add Limbless Arizech (+8 Hope) as well.
small aspen
I found that some teams benefit more from certain stars than others
So experimenting with that might be useful too
sharp rivet
Also worth mentioning that there’s some cheesy stuff you can do at the hulk of ores that lets you use all 12 stars easy
So go there lots if it’s offered
fading mulch
just finished Pyre, what a great game 👏 I chose Volfred to be free in the end but I wonder how much it affects the end of the story if you go by yourself or choose Oralech ?
timid silo
There are many effects!
Iirc the counter for the most peaceful ending only counts team members you send up - it needs 6 people out of the Nightwings' current roster or bust
proud summit
I still love the Zero Punctuation review of pyre: NSWF Language: ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOrcVtblWnI||
timid silo
And then there's the whole matter of paired endings! The Reader ending up on the same side as Hedwyn influences Hedwyn's ending (and a few others - Volfred for sure). Volfred and Oralech themselves have endings that change based on whether they end up together; Volfred also has Bertrude and Oralech also has Ti'zo! And so on, also depending on who else you had Downside in the end!
fading mulch
I see, well the ones who stayed behind are me, bertrude and sir gilman
too bad you can't free everyone 😢

And... Oralech... I hope? Or... 😦
We can't have a bona fide happy ending in a SGG game can we 😂 Pyre's is as jubilant as it gets...

Going to play Pyre for the first time , as its last SGG game i did not played.
What a sad day. My Mobile connection suck and its 1Mbit....

Pyre is nothing like the other SGG games in a couple ways, but it’s a really original and unique idea that’s a ton of fun
You’re in for a treat

bastion and pyre are my different favs 🤔
different energies still good
but bastion was my first viddy game i finished
onyx forum
all 4 games have such different energies n they speak to diff ppl in different ways
timid silo
Absolutely! And many favs can coexist

I should be more active on this channel but it has been ages since I last played Pyre so my memory is a bit fuzzy 😅
vestal bluff
Play it again
icy ocean
I should probably play pyre again
It’s such a good game I just might
Besides, I’m kinda excited about those pyre games people are organizing

Wanna join us next week?
Rite Nites are every Sunday or whenever people are around!
icy ocean
I wish I could but I need to refresh my memory before I can join. I don’t even remember the controls

Seeing the member number on the Rite Club discord server invite climb since we started this server has been a real joy.

So I wanna ask about Pyre's wagons
its my favorite thing in the game and lately Ive made a character and is needed to draw a wagon similar to this one, I wonder if there is concept art of the wagon anywhere findable on Internet so I can study it?

i have a sneaking suspicion we might see some in the upcoming noclip documentary
