Has anyone seen how Fool Companion Appears?

[Last_Sinner]

My codex is at 99% and this is the only card I've never seen appear.

I've seen Philanthropy and Bunker appear (requires Kingly Arms) eventually but this one, despite getting the Jester multiple times, has never appeared.

Has anyone seen it appear and have any idea if there's an additional condition (required or forbidden card) to get Fool Companion to appear?

For what it's worth, I came here to ask the same question. I've selected Throne Room and Jester a number of times for the prerequisites, but Fool Companion has never spawned. I'm beginning to think it's a bug that needs to be fixed.

Bumping because my thread, "Codex Help Thread", is also about this card. It's also the only one that I'm missing.

From what I've seen, the card requirements are bugged and it's basically impossible to get it to appear legitimately. Seems like the dev is aware of this and will fix it in the next patch.

Basically, Fool Companion requires both a "leader" piece present (i.e., King or Theocracy Bishop) and The Jester card, which in turn requires a pawn and the Throne Room card.

Now here's where things start breaking:

• Throne Room and Theocracy block each other, meaning you cannot satisfy the "Theocracy Bishop" requirement of Fool Companion
  
• Throne Room requires a King, which when attempting to stack with Fool Companion spawn chances requires ANOTHER King, meaning at this point Fool Companion requires 2 kings in order to be in the card rotation, which is basically impossible in Throne Mode

...Hope you didn't waste too much time hunting for it.

Has anyone reported back?

[lawman04]

Has anyone been able to get this card? Since the last update, I'm not even getting Jester anymore, let alone Fool Companion. Any sense of whether this is a bug and, if so, whether the developers know about it?

So I've gotten Fool a few times by now without really gunning for it, but the weird thing here is that I'm in the same situation with Church Organ - only card I can't get in my codex, I've gotten up to Cathedral (it's prereq) a number of times, but it's never spawned. Weird.

I just got it last night, and again today. Only requirements is Jester, which itself requires Throne Room. Other than that, luck. I suppose you can increase your odds by taking black cards that self-exclude other black cards, like the right click abilities. This was the last card for me to add; I've seen Church Organ 9 times before I even got Fool Companion once (but I am actively going for the Builder achievement). Not much else to say other than hope for the best.

I think you were just unlucky. I think this game really needs some work to make it more likely to give you cards which you meet prerequisites for.

Funny. My situation is opposite - I've seen Fool Companion a few times without even aiming for this card. Still no sign of Church Organ, and I've been actively hunting down this one. Guess RNG likes to make fun off players.

Are you guys able to share what the stats/benefits are of the Fool Companion card? It's driving me nuts - still can't get it to appear. Thanks!

Here you go. The description of Fool Companion card is Jester can move in all directions and always follow King. Earn an extra turn when you kill a Jester

Played the game today for the first time in over a month. First Jester I picked, Fool Companion showed up. Figures.
