you have the 50 virility sword and one true cockring and plug set? You should, if using best moves depending on aura, be forced to heal ~3-4 times once reaching red but still win. The best potion you make at Valdo home will also give you significant boosts that make the fight easier after you reach red once. I'll see if I can record an example later.
Edit: I highly recommend getting focus enchantment on something if getting the hits every time is part of the problem. I think I also used the heal 5 each turn.
Got around to recording the example video for the Dodoro fight however after a couple hours looking I have still not found the secrete ending. My last guess is the work related memories, but that'll be a bit before I can get them all.
*Spoilers*
So assuming you have access to the mountain peak, you should have gotten a brief dialog saying to check out Horace's house in feasterra. go there, click on the dog bed and you'll find a key. That key opens the plunger in "The Gents" room in the dungeon during night. This will be in the stall closets to the door. Use the plunger in Grants room on the telescopes on the wall. When you get the lens, use it on Ghart's telescope (It's on his balcony) at night and the location to the dragon will be unlocked, at night only.
The translation string names include these so that seems promising 😯

seems fairly conclusive, though I have no idea how to drink at the tavern. I feel like i've tried clicking everywhere in there, no extra options to be straight when drinking the orientation swapping beer, and no way to enter not at night. Are there any beers we can take with us to the tavern? Does the shield above the fireplace mean anything?
wow, I never would have figured that out, how did they do it?? Thanks for sharing. I feel like watching the video is enough for me 😂
I achieved the secret ending thanks to the Youtube video above. It was surprisingly easier than expected, and the game goes by pretty quickly since you're skipping everything you need to do with NPCs. All you're doing is gathering resources to repair your house, the town, and the dungeons, before finally battling the King.
I've written a guide on how to do it in my replies below.
Step 1: Farm the weakest monster in each region for resources. Skip battles with everyone else unless required to progress through the game.
Weakest monsters are:
About Liam: Liam is farmed for Meat needed to craft Food, so you'll be battling him a lot. Fortunately, he takes a while to level his affinity, I didn't even reach 50% Affinity by the time I beat the King.
Getting Food: Craft food at Valdo's Cooking Pot until you get to the second highest dish, Stuffed Bull Testicles. I completed the game using this dish, which is much easier to obtain than the Orc's Favourite Dish.
Extra Note: Getting the "Came Over" screen doesn't prevent you from unlocking the secret ending, so don't worry if you lose a battle, just try again. :)
Step 2: Buy the correct weapons and armour. You have to be considerate of which swords and plugs you get as buying from shop owners increases their affinity (except for Hanth who sells rings).
Here's the items I obtained.
Plugs: Elven Plug is bought from Dustridge Vendor. King's Plug is bought from the Barracks Vendor.
Swords: You buy both swords from Selim. These are the exact two you should buy as anything else/more will level up Selim's affinity.
Rings: As said before, buying rings from Hanth doesn't increase affinity. So if you're struggling to beat monsters, just keep buying stronger rings from him.
For the final battle, you can easily beat the King with just the Scimitar + King's Plug/Ring + an inventory of "Stuffed Bull Testicle" for food.
After that, talk to Catherine in Whiterain. Good luck! :)
is it true that you mustn't romance any of the villagers at any level is required for the achievement? I have started two fresh game files (just to restart them), just because I have accidentally gotten to the first affinity level with Ghart first trying to get past him at Golden Sands and Beton second at the tournament
