Golden Trove Beetle

[CawsMeCal]

Figured I'd make a topic that wasn't one of five insert the most ridiculous claim and stating it like a unique opinion and trying to farm awards and just ask a question for those of us that actually have the game.

How the ♥♥♥♥ do you get your main pawn to eat a damn Golden Trove Beetle? I can't use it from their inventory and using it in mine automatically has me eat it. How do you shove the beetle in their mouths?

EDIT: Look at the date. People keep necroing this thread. It's been answered so many times now. You do not need to say anything else.

Just tried it and we my pawn and I both got the increase

Wait, I feel so stupid now, but is this a permanent effect thing? I was thinking it was a consumable and was saving it.

Yes. It'd be kinda crap if it wasn't permanent given how small the buff is.

From my experiment (eating 5 at once, lol) you both get the 0.15 max carry weight.

We both get the effects of it? Because the description is misleading if so.

the description states that using it gives both your arisen and pawn the effect. how is that misleading?

No it doesn't. It says "Consuming it increases the weight ONE(arisen) can carry. The Arisen's main pawn "can also" receive the same effect"
Not that they WILL receive the same effect.
So like most people we read the description and it seems like you can also give it to your pawn to use, not that using it will work for both characters. I've used 5 of them and my pawn hasn't gotten a boost at all, and I cant make my pawn use it. So perhaps it means, you use it and "maybe" the pawn also gets a boost. Regardless, the description is misleading and confusing, if it wasn't this thread wouldn't exist.

Not that they WILL receive the same effect and not that using it gives them BOTH the effect. One sentence says its for the Arisen, and the next statement declares that they main pawn can also receive the same effect, which I think to most of us here sounds like its an either/or situation.

I've used 7 of them and my pawn hasn't gotten a boost at all, and I cant make my pawn use it. So perhaps it means, you use it and "maybe" the pawn also gets the effect? Or there's some quest/advancement that has to be reached for the pawn to get the option to use them? Regardless, the description is indeed misleading and open for consideration, if it wasn't this thread wouldn't exist.

Your pawn does indeed get the weight boost when you eat it.

Just checked my pawns status page before eating a few and their weight limit increased after eating the golden beetle on my Arisen.

"Your main pawn can also get this effect."

CAN.... that implies there is a way to do it, not that it automatically also gives it the pawn

It can also imply that you could give it to the pawn to use...

[CronoLuminare]

Relax folks, yes the description should probably be re worded, however it is a permanent effect and effects You AND your Pawn together upon use.

[CawsMeCal]

I'm not unrelaxed, I'm confused. Why is Statistx arguing against me using the logic I had... Like:

That's what I said how I thought it worked, but they are saying it as if I claimed it's clear that it's automatic, when I said the opposite already lol. IDK why they quoted me if they read the OP.

reading comprehension is a skill. just use it from your own inventory, you and your pawn will both get the benefit.

Poor translation from Japanese. Common thing in Capcom games.

It's not a reading comprehension issue doof it's a terrible wording issue... I have an English degree that gathers dust.

It's this without anyone checking the logic correctly behind the translation.

Fun fact: there is a limit to how many beetles you can use. I don't know exactly how many since I didn't count, but it's around 60-ish, maybe a bit higher. After that the game doesn't allow you to use them. I was hoping to use them as a pseudo carry capacity mod before one gets actually made but they didn't let me >:(

There actually is a mod that makes all items weigh 0, I'm using it and nothing bad happened so far. My pawn is still being used by other players, no bugs either
