It's okay, I found another save that I didn't notice.
Hi again! I hope you've been enjoying the DLC.
Very great job even finding that maze in the first place! It's one of the most hidden things in the game. There may be something in the lower-left corner, but getting down there requires going up and around from somewhere in the the upper-left. Good luck!~
As for the Activation Gem, it's working as intended - why should it do anything more or less than that? (It was originally a reference to something, but I can't remember what anymore). :P
Thanks for the help, found it (although I'm not sure if it works... it says it will prevent me from dying but even with it equipped I still got killed by that order boss in the other dream). Speaking of the other dreams, is there anything else I can get from any of them?
And I take it you mean the gem doesn't actually do anything.
Another question, is there a way to farm the 'bottle of swag' item, or some other way to improve strength stats? I remember there was an enemy in the deep web that could sometimes drop them, but after I beat that dungeon it seems I can't access it again. Is there any other way to get them?
Sorry for all the questions, I just like to fully explore all aspects of a game like this.
Okay, I never actually got a notification for this reply. I don't know what happened, but I'm sorry for the wait. D:
ORDERDAD is one of three bosses where the Bouquet fails, since it's more of a scripted gag (like the rest of the dreams) rather than an actual fight. The other two bosses are Cracky (who disables your accessories at the start), and... a hidden superboss from the main game that I'm not sure if you've found yet. (The one in Bell Cave, have you found it)?
I don't think there are any other ways to farm Bottles of Swag? I remember that I purposely made them rarer and harder to get than the various other stat-raising items, because I didn't want players to becoming too overpowered with them and just one-shotting everything.
And like I said before, please don't be sorry about the questions! It's made me so happy to have someone interested in this. :3
Sorry I've been away for so long, but I have been playing the game a lot (unedited screenshot: )
I beat the final DLC boss, and also the hidden boss that leads to the bonus ending. But I still have some questions.
1. How to get the rest of the plushes? I can see that there are still more places in the collector's house.
2. In the DLC sound test, there is another "Always" song, where does that play and how do I get to it?
3. I also forgot how to get back to the mountain where I can access the Sky Abyss, any hints to do that?
4. Does any other dialogue or anything change in any site after you beat the DLC boss?
It's great to hear from you again! (And woah, that's a staggering amount of battles). :O
It seems that you still have one more big challenge to complete, and it's related to the plushies! There are 9 of them in total, hidden around Artistry Highway - one for each of the 8 party members, plus Arianna. If you tell me which ones you're missing, then I can give hints or tell you where to find them.
You can access the Sky Abyss from the summit of Mt. Dramatica, which is to the east of Wikipedia. :3
The DLC doesn't really change anything about the base game, before or after beating it; except for a couple of places (like one of the street stalls in YouTube) now being able to sell furniture for your house in Etsy.
By the way, did you ever join the BoxxyQuest Discord server? It's not very active at all, but I'd still love to have you there. :D
The ones that I currently have are: Anon, Catie, Til, Shift, Shrimp, Cornelia, Arianna, and Tyalie.
Also, I presume that most of the other places on the map (using the Google gem) are just there for decoration? There are a lot of towers, buildings, and towns you can't access.
And sorry but I don't use Discord.
So it seems like you’re just missing Eddie - he’s near the fountain with the boy running around it, in the middle of some blue mushrooms. Good luck with what comes next! :P
Also yeah, there are a lot of sites you don’t get to visit that are still mentioned in the game, so I wanted to put them on the map to show that it covers the whole Internet.
And no worries about Discord, I’m happy to keep talking in whatever way you prefer!
Got it, and I also found the delivery side quest... but then when I went to the next boss it turns out it was a platforming challenge. Fuck that, quit before even trying to figure out how the mechanics work.
And I can't use Google search to backtrack from that dungeon either... so the last useful save I have is one right before I fought the DLC final boss. I guess I'll beat it again, do the delivery quest again, get the last plush again, but not go into Alwaysland 2, and then, uh, do the Sky Abyss again, I guess...
