Dark - Light. Hunter

[JLander]

I'm not sure if I can build a dark hunter if I go on the light path in dialogue. Are those related in any kind of way ? Thanks

The dialogue gives you points toward a dark path or a light path. It is your choice if you go pure dark, white, or a mix of both.

If you go down the light path, you won't get access to dark collars and Annihilation+. While the latter doesn't matter much, the former can really hurt.

Actually you can, there are some cards which if you use them will give you dark points and some other cards which give you light points. Those are independent from dialogue choices.

[JLander]

So the differents path give access to a specific colar and one specific card, that should mean I can still go for dark build with a light path even if it will be lesser than if I would have follow dark path.

I believe so yes, but I am not sure if the cards are random drops. However, I went for light dialogue and now I used some dark cards and boom I am back at close to neutral (still a little light but less than I was before).

You can also increase Dark points if you lounge near pool during nighttime.

Wait using dark card during fight increase my dark alignment ?

Good to know.

The points given for going in the pool are linked to moon phases - one moon phase will give light, another dark. I can't remember which is which but that's the thing to watch for.

If you are willing to put the time into a playthrough..

You can go full dark then swing to full light (or vise-versa) in one playthrough...

For those like me that needed to understand this :

Now I know what to do, use dark ability only and only use light dialogue when I really dislike other options. Or do the opposite if I want to go light. The faster I reach high corresponding alignment, the faster I'll collect the rewards.

I got Annihilation and Annihilation+ just from regular gameplay (exploring abbey grounds, opening chests, doing the challenges etc) during my Light playthrough. So I'm pretty sure you don't have to follow a certain path to unlock all the cards, but the Collars on the other hand.

Personally I use the after 5 Light Abilities the next one is free. So 60 dark or 60 Light is all you need for the better Collars of each one.

There's different cosmetic armors to unlock as well.

If you're an Achieve Hunter though I think there's acheives for getting 200 in each which is easiest to do with New Game+.

Yeah exactly, I tend to sale my dark cards and only keep light ones to unlock the light rewards.
It's also interesting that some characters will prefer dark dialogue choice and you will loose friendship with them if you choose too many light dialogue lines.
The relationship with each character is what makes this game even more interesting for me.

Yes, every align cards used in a battle will give you +1 alignment after battle up to a maximum of +2 alignment (8 aligned cards in 1 battle)

Collars count towards this limit and if you use a Dark card then a light card, they basically zero each other out (+1 dark, + 1 light = +0 towards end of battle alignment bonus)

The all or nothing approach is outdated. You should be able to raise both light and dark meters at the same time IMO

True, it would have been far better, if they raised independently and didn't directly counteract each other.
