Moon Challenge Gold Token (SPOILERS)

[Serpit]

Anyone got a hint for how to get all 12 conspirators? I played it twice now and ended with 11, and I have no idea what else I could have done.

2 conspirators from the baker's play for performing well and then denouncing the Empire

2 conspirators from the graveyard for visiting the grave in the inner sanctum and getting rid of the Watcher

3 conspirators from the apothecary for finding another way in and greeting the bird woman, convincing the apothecary and then giving the cure to the wailing woman

4 conspirators from the corrupted burrows (found the girl and the silversmith, the second bird twin and then got the girl's lover at the end).

That left me with 11. The only thing I think I could have done differently was give the apothecary cure to the blacksmith instead of the wailing woman. Also, a Huge Success on the pendulum gambit in the corrupted burrows got me a flask of corruption cure that I did not find any use for, so maybe there's something else here?

[Regy Rusty]

I gave the cure to the blacksmith and only got him, so that definitely implies that you need to get them both somehow. Two ideas - did you try giving 50 gold to the apothecary? Maybe you can get two cures from him. I wasn't able to save up enough yet. Alternatively, I don't remember where they appear but is it possible to do the corrupted burrows first? If you can get that corruption cure and then go to the apothecary you could cure them both.

I'll have to experiment.

It's on the apothecary encounter. It has 4 conspirators there. Now, not sure what exact step you're missing though.

[yaminogame]

you need to find another way in, speak with the woman and then pay the 50 gold.

[Serpit]

Oh, thanks, people! I won the gambit for the apothecary, didn't expect paying to give me one more conspirator. Now I really wonder what the hell that burrows corruption cure does (it always seems to be on the last floor too, so no taking it to the apothecary).

[Regy Rusty]

What happens if you run out of time on the juggernaut in the borough? So far I've only run the level twice, first time I died to him while desperately trying to kill them in time, which seemed impossible. Second try I bashed down the gates which... does not end well.

[Serpit]

Can't tell you, I never had problems with the Juggernaut. My personal recommendation is try and get the axe called The Peeler, it's amazing for that entire stage and shreds the Juggernaut. Bashing in the door is a trap I also fell into my first time.

In other news, I got the token and just finished the game, all gilded! What a fun ride.

[Regy Rusty]

Well I found out what happens if you run out of time, and it turns out it also solves the mystery of the leftover corruption cure. If you don't kill them in time, the woman you rescued gets bitten by a corrupted and infected. But if you have the cure either from the apothecary or finding it in the borough, you can heal her and everything is fine and the whole team joins you! Phew.

[Serpit]

Huh, interesting, thanks for finding that out!

[The_Doni]

You get four conspirators from the apothecary:
Find another way and greet the woman
Pay 50 gold to the apothecary - this gets you multiple vials of the amber bottle and the apothecary joins you
Jon the blacksmith joins
Harret the widow joins

Now, if you don't have 50 gold you have to do a shuffle card gambit. Success gets you one vial no apothecary. huge success gets you one vial and the apothecary.

[wolfjagger]

If you can't spend the 50, you can get a huge success for the vial (apothecary). Counterintuitively, if you give the vial to the highest bidder and get a huge success, you give it to the blacksmith, who gives it to the weeping woman, netting you both conspirators. Plus, you get the money from the bidding. Just have to get multiple huge successes...
