Why do you suddenly lose stamina

[Mad]

And almost almost all of it. Just wtf is causing that it's perfectly unclear. I easily beat prisoners one after the others then suddenly I don't do any damage, and or suddenly a prisoner seems to manage to empty all my stamina out of nowhere. Get up, same thing. Pleasure is barely 41%, fatigue is ok around 20.

I'm just the second day and a few doors past the bar for christ sake. Normal difficulty, sadist build focused on straight. It never work I tried multiple times.

I take hits for 40 stamina dmg in general then suddenly I don't do any damage and the guys hit me for 150 stam dmg all the time. Why? Wtf??

It sounds like you are encountering thugs. They are the first different enemy type.
Are you using Defense Stance or Counter Stance against their charge attacks?

Thugs are also meat shields. So they have high defense.

You have to look at the TYPE of enemy you're fighting, prisoners have the lowest of the low stats. Everyone beyond that hits harder, thugs are usually the first ones after prisoners, they'll empty you out in early game.

Watch your energy,if it gets zero,you are basically done. I suggest you to farm the guards/non-bar enemies for few days (first 7 days maybe,and equip the newbie title for extra xp),till you cap your warden level on the first floor,after that it'll be much easier to progress.

I noticed that enemy's strength is hinted on their names.
For an example; prisoner with extra names like "the Brawny" or "the burly" were extra resistant for damage and take longer to beat them down.

As for lv.2 floor's Thugs ( who manage beat me with a single punch. ) I suggests you buy edicts for kitchen and cook to drug Thug's food to weaken them.

You can get critical hits, these do a lot of Stamina damage. If you are early on in game then your Stamina is not high. Without stamina, Karryn can do no actions such as fight or perform sexual skills.
Another issue is how much Energy she has. With some energy, she can revitalise and improve stamina, BUT if Energy goes to zero you are into lose sexual battle.
There is the option to escape before this, you should use this if battle is not going in your way.

You can enact edicts to bring up stamina, strength etc. I'd go for the whole top row of training edicts and also enact the healing thoughts edit on the second row before going for first boss level.

A hint is, some rooms (such as the bar) do not have a guard at the exit, so you can just run around the people in there and not fight them at all. When you first go into the bar, you get a clue as Karryn says she can't handle all of them. It is not even required to get to the boss fight.

Don't fight thugs early on until you have Warden level up a bit (maybe around Level 4-5).

On higher levels, the prisoners are stronger, so your level needs to go up to match them.

Game will hit you hard at random, just for spite, complain to the developers, but I think that is how they intended it, so you will have to live with it.

So mouse over each desire and see what debuffs happen if you let it go too high.


I think like ♥♥♥♥♥ desire for example, your attacks do like no damage after it goes over 100. That's why you should have mind stat to keep desires down if you aren't starting off with a sex build.


Each desire also sorta debuffs enemies if it is the top desire. Like your butt is so big it causes enemy accuracy to be lower. But there's more negatives to having high desires so always keep them low. Don't do sexual things just because you are tired of grinding and want to see Karryn get groped or something. It will make your build harder to use.

my addition is this happens a lot at the strip club, I mean like over a thousand hit points and even if you make it to intermission it will still drain you being behind the curtain is no defense.

ho it was clearly intended as such but when you want to go beyond that point you're punished to the point it quickly becomes to grind the same part of the game so it goes more and more repetitive. Like I rarely beat the second boss and never go far on third because everything quickly go to ♥♥♥♥ anyway.

Good stuff stil thanks for all the tips.
