Who the **** is Skelly??? (Spoiler)

[Jean Amaro]

How do I progress Skelly's storyline?

The last thing he told me was that he was a captain of a ship.

And Asterius told me something about Crete.

I've met Hermes with both his and Skelly's keepsakes, but nothing happens. How do I advance from here? Who does reveal who Skelly is?

Still working on it but I did have a chat with Nyx Goddess of the night and she said she doesnt know Skelly and did seem she wasnt lying

I haven't got there either, but I've had conversations with various characters around the House asking them if they knew Skelly, and this was a little while after the whole Crete thing. Might still be progressing it, though I haven't tried the keepsake thing yet.

You have to hope that Hermes actually brings the topic up while having the keepsake equipped. Some other dialog might have gotten priority.

Think he might be Charon. All the companions can't be used in the boss fight they belong to (IE can't use battie during the Sisters fight) and you can't use Skelly's companion during the Charon fight. Literally, all the evidence I have though.

Keep playing and he'll talk. You'll have a very long conversation with him and he will reveal the suuuuuper secret.

i've got to be missing something here, i've done basically everything in the game, and talked to hermes with the lucky tooth 17 times and he just gives the same repeating "hey you're getting out heres a boon" dialogue. it's infurating.

i haven't had any new dialogue with anyone in like 20 runs lol

Update, I finished the conversation with Skelly a run or two ago. First run trying the tooth Hermes mentioned it, and Skelly had a response. Hermes has since commented on the tooth a couple more times (I was still using it, but it felt like I didn't need to). A couple runs after Hermes I had a chat with Hades about Skelly (don't know it that was related to getting the Hermes conversation). After my Hades chat, I was able to confront Skelly about his employer. So far as I can tell, you just need to ask each member of the House + Hermes about Skelly to finish his 'quest'. I am at something like 80+ runs though, so while I didn't max Skelly for a decent while, it certainly isn't a quick process.

Ok, learned how to check voice lines in the game data, and they have the requirements for them listed in there. Skelly's lines are in the EnemyData lua, and here are my findings.

"SkellyAboutSources02" is where Skelly confesses who his employer is, and the required conversations are "AchillesAboutSkelly01", "DusaAboutSkelly01", "NyxAboutSkelly01", "ThanatosAboutSkelly01", "HermesAboutSkelly02", "SkellyAboutSources01" and "SkellyGift09".

Nyx, Dusa, Thanatos both need you to have gifted each of them and Skelly a certain number of times (usually just once) to have those conversations, while Achilles also needs the Nyx conversation to happen first. SkellyGift is just maxing his hearts.

The Hermes conversation requires the skelly sources conversation, which requires HermesAboutSkelly01, which has the most complicated requirements. Most of the lines needed are easy, like "HermesFirstPickUp", "HermesGift01", and "SkellyBackstory01" (simply asking who hired him, if you have done the Crete storyline you have done this). You also need the "reincarnation trait", which I believe is Skelly's keepsake, as well as needing the keepsake maxed.

Lastly, there is "RequiredAnyTextLines", which I assume means you need at least one of these: "HermesAboutHourglass01", which is talking to Hermes with the bone hourglass equipped, and "HermesLootBought01" (and 01_B) which is buying a boon from Hermes in a shop.

Of course, fulfilling these requirements simply means the conversation can happen, not that they will. As if often the case, other conversations can get in the way, since only one can happen at a time. But hopefully that can help give guidance to people as to what they may need to do to get people talking.

So like whats the dam answer? Cause honestly I'm still just playing to finish up EM4 there is no way I'm going through all the trouble to see two lines of dialogue lol...Still would like to know though =D
