Quest in Stone Circle for Corrupted Hero

[Miray]

I was given a quest whose destination was in a stone circle.

I got corrupted on the way there and when I got to the location I died and couldn't finish the quest.

Is this right? So my questline ended there? :(

[Amalgamdragon]

sadly yes
there is no repick of the quest so... if you aim for corrupt, don't ever take those quest. a site web hold knowledge about quest positions, but i don't remember the name (a wiki armello)

Thanks... I'll be careful next time :)

If you are not too Corrupted, you can increase your Body temporarily (e.g. Bark Skin) to attempt to tank the damage, or utilize Mountain Moss or Cleansing Wyld to lower your Rot count. Or a combination of the above methods.

If you don't have these cards at your disposal, or if your Rot count is too high, then it might be best to go for a palace breach instead.

May your journey in Armello be safe and fortuitous.

I'd like the game to cancel the quest in Stone Circle automatically when that happen.

Since we can change quest by using Arson to burn the forest or Spirit Seed to grow forest on swamp, why that can't happen with Corrupted hero as well?

That only happens because it's replacing the tile, not changing it, so the quest HAS to be moved elsewhere. Game isn't meant to bounce quests around.

It's worth noting that you have a few tools to overcome this situation! Rot removal like Mountain Moss will help you out and anything that increases Body will also go far.

This is a tough lesson to learn though, welcome to the experience.

Still this is simply abusive design. Without UI communicating the odds of a quest spawning in a circle this is just punishment for an already risky playstyle.

Simply getting to your quest is hard enough without having to try to get items to make up for the bad design.

I'm sorry but quests spawning in stone circles for corrupted people really has to go.

Either that or resolve the effects of the stone circle after the quest is resolved so at least you can get the quest done before dying.

I think there's nothing wrong with the current design. You can easily play around this If you know what you do.

First, quests have specific tiles on which they spawn. If you know which ones spawn at circles, you can avoid those if you're about to be corrupted.

Secondly, and most importantly, YOU can prevent this entirely just by watching your Rot and looking at your quest. Nobody can make you corrupted unless you gave yourself a few rot points earlier. If you know your current quest brings you to a stone circle, you should prepare yourself for it.

Thirdly, even when this happens, you can still get around this with Mountain Moss, Cleansing Wyld, or Barkskin (if you want to tank the damage). There is also a Treasure card and a Bear clan Ring which can help you reduce Rot. Enough ways to work around this issue.

I know its tough, but I think its not the game's fault. Also, is the ability to repick your quest by becoming corrupted abusive as well? I mean, with this change you could easily pick a +2 Rot quest without many resources like high Magic (Sprit Seeds) or Prestige (Arson).

Quests don't spawn in stone circles for corrupted players! The issue here is that players are getting corrupted on their way to a quest that's already on a Stone Circle.

I don't know about the phrase "abusive design", that sounds a little alarmist to me. It's definitely a tough spot that players can get into, but typically from quest text you can determine the tile type that they will spawn on, and then players have to get corrupted after seeing exactly where their quest is.

Even after these two things happening, it's difficult but still possible to get it done. Armello is a cruel place for those that aren't paying attention.
