Didn't realise uninstalling to install the latest update deleted my saves, is there any way to recover 5 months of progress? I've been playing since November and don't want to start over, this is a major pain :/
I would just start a new game and go all out on my intelligence. Use arousero or something like that (attacks multiple enemies) and speed through the game with ease. If it's a single strong enemy, then I use a strong single target magic attack and teleport is also useful. Maybe some stuns here and there. You'll easily get back to where you started.
You can tamper with the code and input your old stats in a completely new playthrough, you just gotta enable the console
- First go to the game's folder, then go to the renpy folder, and then go to the common folder.
- Next find and open the file 00console.rpy in any text editor of choice, even plain Notepad will do.
- Use the keys ctrl+f on your keybind to bring up search, and then provide it with
config.console = False, or go to line 108. - Replace
FalsewithTrueto, as it looks, enable the console. Do not alter its current indentation level. - Save the file.
- Open the console-enabled copy of MGD.
- After loading your save or starting your new game and completing character creation, press shift+o (the letter O and not the number 0).
After pressing Shift+O, something'll happen
input these thingies, depends on what you wanna change
player.stats.max_hp -=/=/+= 1/5/10/69-- This changes your current maximum Arousal.
player.stats.max_ep -=/=/+= 1/5/10/69-- This changes your current maximum Energy.
player.stats.max_sp -=/=/+= 1/5/10/69-- This changes your current maximum Spirit.
player.stats.Power -=/=/+= 1/5/10/69-- This changes your current total Power.
player.stats.Tech -=/=/+= 1/5/10/69-- This changes your current total Technique.
player.stats.Int -=/=/+= 1/5/10/69-- This changes your current total Intelligence.
player.stats.Willpower -=/=/+= 1/5/10/69-- This changes your current total Willpower.
player.stats.Allure -=/=/+= 1/5/10/69-- This changes your current total Allure.
player.stats.Luck -=/=/+= 1/5/10/69-- This changes your current total Luck.
or you can just farm XP's from Sophia's first battle, you can use two, I think, demon layer before she gets annoyed and transform, use the sense weakness and power up buffs for maximum effect.
Damage increases based on virility.
haven't tried this for a long time so it may or may not work, but as far as I can remember I could three hit defeat her [since the third hit doesn't count if she gets defeated by it] when I was decently high level through farming her. she drops around 2-3k XP but I was wearing 3 enlightenment runes, can't remember if Studious perk was a thing then though.
Gonna asume the console thing isn't a secret, it's ultimately up to you if you want a shortcut or not
feel free to correct me please, I'll delete this as soon as I can, If it is
