Fun little things, tips, and secrets * SPOILERS *
- Alim's has an ending and special quest event that's contingent on buying at least 20 mystery boxes, unlocked from the Fate's Ledger. He sells them to feed his thieves.

- The sleeping draught that you get from Fatina's brother to help kidnap her can actually be also used to assassinate him. It prevents Evidence from showing up without a Bloodshed card.

- This might be fixed later, but if you trigger the Nursery via Alim's questline, you block off the part of Nawfal's questline that gives you the Blueprint for Revolution. Sucks.

- You can bring the Little Crocodile to the bathhouse by equipping it on someone. That earns you a way to resolve a Silver-tier Bloodshed card.

- You can make Nawfal vizier by following Riel's questline until you get Evidence of Abdul's crimes, presenting it in court, then resolving the Nawfal kidnapping questline in his favor WITHOUT using a Gold Bloodshed card. Him being vizier is the best outcome, because you don't have to deal with Sultan's Suspicion while retaining all the endgame benefits.

- Faris has an ending that requires Little Moon be present at the ending, by being an item, Little Moon gets deleted during the ending. If you equip him to a character however, then remove him so he's back in your hand at the ending, you can trigger the endings. They are very sweet.

- The dragon's eye gem you gain for successfully pursuing Adila's questline WITHOUT marrying her to Jabal can give ANY character Bond of Fate. Many characters who have no other method of getting Bonds actually have unique endings when taken along with this method during the Escape to China ending. Nabhani becomes a wuxia hero, for example.

- If Fatina is a cultist and your concubine, she can join your Wife's Tea Party, and will generate intelligence.

- Batman is in this game, in the form of the King of Flames. Tell Nawfal that to help the poor, you need to help them destroy their true enemies to unlock that quest branch. This doesn't block off the Nursery, and is pretty neat. Be sure to have a high stealth / combat character, though.

- The last set of orphans that go into the Nursery are locked behind the Flower of Freedom, a really late game quest event that requires you to have the Glimpse of God unlocked. Make sure you've done the entire Descent of God chain (triggered by doing Impure Aid and then resolving Purifying Heretics without her dying and also sleeping with Badyyirah with a Carnality card) with Badyyirah by escaping with her alive, and she'll send you an offer later when you're on the timer portion of the god quests.

- Aziz and Inal can get married! You need to have Aziz protect Inal instead of investigating her stalker, then rebuke her stalker so he goes to the Sultan, THEN make sure she doesn't get taken away. You also need to encourage her freedom, so she buys her way to freedom. Unfortunately, this locks out ALL of their endings when they retire, but gives them some fun endings if you promote both of them when you ascend to the throne.

- Speaking of Aziz, the item you get for bonding with him can be thought on to spawn an event that gives you a troop. His questline is only gated off of stats, and is really easy to finish with the new stat cards from the Fate's Ledger.

- Inal has a lot of special cult interactions. Badyyirah will recognize her power, and periodically try to train her. You need to sacrifice someone each time (a retainer will do), but it boosts her Magic and after 3-4 times gives her the Black Arts tag. She can also unlock a special, kind of happy ending during the secret Cultist god ending, and if you send a cultist Inal to her stalker when he asks for her, she straight up magically murders him and then comes back to you.

- The Roaming Swordsman can be sent to Receive Divine Grace from the church. He'll refuse because of who he is, but he will unlock an event that can result in an item that has a number of uses. You can also send him there, and it will give you two troops during the rebellion.

- When Riel wants to eat livers with you, if you slot in Habib alongside yourself, he cooks them and makes them extra tasty, resulting in a bigger stat boost.

- If you try to slot Fatina into a Carnality card, it unlocks a questline where you can marry her and take her as your concubine. This doesn't break the card, but you can also break it later normally afterwards. Don't try this if your wife resents you.

- If you have a threesome with Fatina and Zaki in the bathhouse, you can't take Fatina as your concubine, and vice versa. If they're all cultists, the threesome is a very bad idea.

- Nabhani can be used to break Conquest up to Silver (once), Extravagance up to Bronze (once, you can use Silver Extravagance to trigger his event), and Carnality up to Silver. If you don't buy Riel (the barbarian slave), you lock off her questline completely and can never make Nawhal vizier. Conversely, if you don't buy Habanah (the talented slave), you HAVE to have a prostitute die to remove the Sultan's Honor Guard tag from Nabhani.

- If don't let Nabhani rescue Habanah from the fire and then help her set up a school and follow that questline to the end, and STILL manage to sway Nabhani to your side, you unlock a special troop during the rebellion that auto-wins an encounter if you pair it with Nabhani. Blue is the color of FREEDOM!

- When you finished two prostitute's questlines, you block off the questline for the last one. This can be really problematic if you recruited Junah and Jalila and need Shama's event for the Gold Conquest card break. I believe this can probably be gotten around if you get the 4th girl, whose quest starts by buying the middle slave (fragile slave) during Nabhani's questline.

- Fardak can marry Lumera if you DON'T encourage him to escape and you use an Extravagance card in his recruitment, then follow the matchmaking event to its conclusion. You should do this because Lumera is best girl. During her wedding, if you choose to tell them to escape, the person who returns to you after seven days depends on who you put in that slot. If you put in yourself, Fardak comes back, if you put in Maggie, Lumera does.

- Ascended Lumera is basically a deus ex machina in every ending. Didn't steal the Sultan's Ring? She takes care of that. Need to resolve the final Sultan's Card before escaping? She can handle that too. Sacrificing yourself to the dragon to end the game for good? Don't worry, she can pull you out of the fire before you die.

- You can actually slot your wife in along with yourself when you encourage Faraj. This makes it so that when you pick the option to have a threesome with him and your wife (tell them you're like brothers when the event pops), it goes pretty well and everybody is happy.

- Mahir can be sent to the Sultan whenever he asks for a female for an instant return and a gold reward.

- One specific invention of Mahir's, the confused learning device, is actually useful besides being a stat stick. It can be used to fend off the cult god after the Descent of God chain with Badyyirah.

- With high Infamy, Mahir will trigger an event after research to make a Frankenstein-esque monster. It can be upgraded into a literal god of war.

- Cooking books with Habib is better than reading them, since more people can enjoy the stats.

- There are two secret Nursery related text blurbs in the Escape to China ending. They require you to have taught the orphans either Freedom (Alim) + Kindness (Faris) + Knowledge (Lumera), or Victory (Jabal) + Romanticism (Nabhani) + Individuality (Jalila).

- The Golden Experience event with Zazie after you complete her questline can slot in a Madness card, and removes it. Sex with her is just that good.

- Bharat (the foreign merchant) can be recruited by slotting in the Mute Bells you get from Ansuya into his slot when his event rolls around. You unlock special endings with him and Ansuya together if you send him to meet with Ansuya multiple times during her questline. His stealth sucks though.

- If you send Fardak to recruit someone from the guesthouse, you unlock a small series of events that can end up with you getting a troop. Extremely useful, considering how early you usually get it.

- While killing Jawal with a Bloodshed card is a very reasonable thing to do, if you recruit him, he unlocks an event that lets you set his daughter up with Zephyr. He has to be upgraded in the Fate's Ledger, though, but is worth the boatload of gold he gives you and their very sweet unique ending (they actually love each other).

- If you sacrifice enough people with Badyyirah's sacrifice ritual, it unlocks a Summon Abomination ritual that summons demons. If you slot in Nayla, it spits out a unique Grand Succubus.

- Thinking on Badyyirah's unlocks her tattooing service. This can be used to remove curses, wounds, or sickness, and can buff your main character or cultists. Using it enough times buffs her stats.

- There's a unique ending for breaking all cards in 14 days or less. Easily doable now with some planning and a fully upgraded Fate's Ledger (turn off Glimpse of God, probably).

Yeah, I tried to get it, but the timing is wayyyyy too tight. Especially for Golden Conquest, since this one can only be broken trhough an event worth 40 coins or an event from 20 renown, and I'm unsure you can even get 20 renown in 14 days even if you savescum random daily events to get +1 renown daily.. And the 40 coins event is random-based.

You can make Nawfal vizier by following Riel's questline until you get Evidence of Abdul's crimes, presenting it in court, then resolving the Nawfal kidnapping questline in his favor WITHOUT using a Gold Bloodshed card. Him being vizier is the best outcome, because you don't have to deal with Sultan's Suspicion while retaining all the endgame benefits.

ok is this evidence different from the one you get with no riel?

Nabhani can be used to break Conquest up to Silver (once), Extravagance up to Bronze (once, you can use Silver Extravagance to trigger his event), and Carnality up to Silver. If you don't buy Riel (the barbarian slave), you lock off her questline completely and can never make Nawhal vizier. Conversely, if you don't buy Habanah (the talented slave), you HAVE to have a prostitute die to remove the Sultan's Honor Guard tag from Nabhani.

are you sure if you buy habanah it locks riel off her questline? either way we need get de:steamhappy:vs to change this quest line so we can do the market and still have riel.

and damn now i realized there is not enough cardinally cards for you to get alot of quest.

you need the gold cardinally for zazie (100%), you need a silver for the other sliver girl, need a brozen for Ansuya, and a stone for Fadia.

then you need 1 cardinally to trigger Nayla 1 more to have her that is 2, one more to trigger Fatina 1, you basicly have no cardinaly left for anything else. you can;t even do Nabhani Cardinal unless you increase your cards

There are other ways to allow Nawfal to become the Vizier. Riel's quest line is the most stable. but there are two more:
- Upgrade the guesthouse to full, and choose to rent the room to nobles. After three triggers, you will get a quest receiving the Sultan as a guest (you'd want a silver-tier-or-above dish for this to proceed smoothly), and Nawfal will give you a list of corrupt officials which you can pass on to the Sultan stealthily. This tend to take longer than Riel's quest line, and you'd need to drag out Nawfal's quests even if you have the extra Notoriety.
- When providing Nabhabi with a carnality card, just let the Sultan win, let him be the host. If Nawfal is among the people picked for his party, Sultan gains some interest in him and he can be the Vizier later. It i rng and will likely need a few reloads; also, the timing for this can be tricky. Assuming you're going the extravagance route to take off Nabhabi's guard tag, this obviously needs to be triggered before things settle on that end.
- if you try to reconcile Fatuna and Zaki while Fatuna is a cultist and Zaki is not, you'll get a different storyline.

You need only one cardinally (any color aside gold). The other one is a stone bloodshed.

Buy the card that gives you +10 renown from the shop, then all you need to do is grind out 10 more renown. That's pretty easily doable; start with the slaves because Aziz and Inal have a ton of events that give you bonus renown, and make sure you pick all the event options that give you more renown. Use the 20 renown option to crack the Gold Conquest card.

I'll do a dig in the files and check it out, thanks for the lead.

Think you can dig around about Nayla seven sins? I am trying to figure that out for like a week.

Some actions gives her specific tags. The ones that i have discovered so far are:

- Debauchery's Delight
- Exotic Euphoria
- Pillager's Thrill
- Profane Pleasure

That's a questline that gets unlocked a little while after having her where she wants to sleep with like, everybody. It's pretty straightforward who they are and how you go about it, once you get that event.

I have completed the game multiple times and never got that specific storyline. Unlock conditions?
RiceFox Apr 30 @ 2:05am 
I've only run into it once, and I got it by recruiting Nayla, telling her rankings are worthless, i.e., I'm not killing my wife, and then pursuing the old sickly slave storyline until I had a Bond of Fate with her. I haven't looked into the actual trigger conditions.

From what you're telling, it might be connected to the list's choice. That's the only thing that i have always done differently from you.
RiceFox Apr 30 @ 2:14am 
The full list of people she wants to sleep with is Nabhani, Jabal, Iman, the Sultan, yourself, and Bharat. Not sure if you can do some of those without the quest unlocked, like Jabal for example, or Nabhani after he's been recruited. Once you get the quest, you get a permanent event that lets you match her with people you have recruited.
Nabhani you can call him back with her and you get the tag. Jabal is not doable. Going the other route requires you to kill the other girls on the list.
