Nenio: NEVER AGAIN!

[GrandMajora]

Jesus Christ, this companion quest was not worth the hassle! If I didn't need 6 fresh crystals to get Areelu to ascend to godhood with me, I would never touch this quest chain with a 10 foot pole!

Nenio isn't even a romance option, and the bosses' so called "wisdom of the universe" was nothing more than fancy way of embracing nihilism. No ♥♥♥♥, Areshkagal, I know that existence is ultimately pointless. You have revealed nothing I did not already figure out back in high school!

Never again. If this is what I have to suffer through to help everybody ascend to divinity, then they can stay as mortals. I'll just claim godhood by myself!

Just FYI 2 mythic paths get a crystal on their quest ( if you go through the choice) so nenio quest can be skipped assuming you got all the other crystals.

Yeah, I'm doing Trickster. Just figured I'd tackle Nenio's quest for the first time, while waiting for the necessary week to ascend.

Does the purple stone knife count as a fresh crystal? Because without Areshkagal, I only have 3 fresh crystals out of the 6 total that I need. Meaning the optional boss fight at the end would only give me 5 crystals in total.

i only had the knife and five crystals and it was enough

Thanks. Even more reason to never come back here again.

tbh the dungeon is not that bad if you look up the puzzles and do the bottom left room on the second map last

Yes the knife counts. So in your case . 3 + areshkagal + knife + trickster = 6

I also heard you can get 2 more if you are going for the ascend ending but some say those crystals are bugged. But you are good to go even without em

But how did you get 3 crystals ? I assume one is from the goat and the other from deskari but which is the third?

you can get 5 crystals from 5 demon lords you just need shoot them once with midnight bolt

You can get three from Deskari (including the knife), two from Baphomet, one from Areshkagal. I got one from Nocticula, but I have no idea if she fights you outside of Trickster quest. What am I forgetting?

I never did her quest even. I just don't recruit her. She is obnoxius, wannabe smart and a demon colaborator. I know what's up with her because i read of her stuff online.
Although i play only with story companions, because of her i made an exeption and build a scroll servant merc. So much better....
Nenio is the worst character ever written in an crpg. She is neither funny or smart.
Nubilos from Kingmaker was by far better written than this stupid fox.

I actually like puzzle dungeons but I thought the Nenio story was pretty bad. I didn't think it was possible to make her more uninteresting, but it turns out being literally nothing will do that to a character.

Third was from doing the Trickster path. I shot Nocticula with a bolt. :-)

Speaking of ascension ending, I've cleared out everything I possibly can on the map, and did all the necessary research. So can I finally turn on auto crusade mode? Because my banners are starting to change color, and my morale is not going to hold out for 8 months while I wait for Gozran to circle back around.

You fight her as Demon, too. You and the other demons launch a coup against her for control of Alushenyrra.

If you did all the research, maybe? I would just put crusade on story and let morale tick to -50 if I were you, just to be safe. Not like morale matters at all at this point.

That's what I ended up doing. Switched it to auto for a bit and realized I couldn't skip days anymore. So just said screw it, and clicked Skip for 8 months straight.
