How to decrease cold?

[Morrowless]

You can increase it by drinking Elex potions. Is there a way to decrease it other than through dialogue options?

Having drunk a zillion elex potions and yet remaining at "neutral"....

I wonder if elex potions actually do anything to alignment.

And no, before you ask, I'm not neutral despite picking nothing but "warm" options. I've done a lot of both.

Edit - which is a realization that I have been looking at the wrong thing all this time. I've been cold forever it seems. doh.

Maybe I need to kick the Elex habit.

It seems everytime your "Cold decreases" it decreases by an awful lot. I quaffed a reasonable amount of elex potions and was "purely emotional" most of the game. Only noticed the effect of elex potions when Caja told me she was talking to a machine.

Seems like a missed oportunity to use mana as an alternative, considering they heavily hinted that it could be used like elex to boost stats.

@Dan0000 LOL ... just sit at a bonfire. .. that was funny

[Veritas]

Cold decreases happen in very large amounts per choice, whereas small elex potions and cold options are much less. But, there are far more opprotunities to increase cold than to decrease it.

youd think mana would decrease it...after all caja needs mana to counter the effects of elex throughout the story but i guess that only works for npcs

it'd be way too easy if your dialogs could be controlled by just taking right kind of pills. it's actually amazing how little elex potions affect cold.

Like

Woo, huge hint, but how it can work? Just drink mana potions is only restoring mana.

I ended my first playthrough with 216 unspent attribute points because I drank a ton of Elex potions, and ended with my Cold level being "Spontaneous" because I always picked the Dialogue options that said " [Enough Emotion] "

Also, I had about 216 unused elex in my inventory thanks to "Animal Trophies 3/3"

If Caja is your companion, she only likes it when you pick NEUTRAL dialogue options.

Yes, one potion is a point. But your state is sometimes bugged and shows the wrong label (but works as intended). Someone made a post about it and I got the same results as he did. You can also go higher than 100, btw, but that changes nothing except the difficulty to get lower.

I ended up with 386 natural elex (a lot of the mobs in chapter 3 and 4 drop that) and used that to check the cold status changes after I was done with the endgame.
