I thank you again, good sir! :)
Yeah, Dak´kon is a very interesting character. Even more so, when you find out about his story and his relation to you. Really masterful writing, how all peaces slowly come together. Same goes for your other companions, such as Morte or Fall-From-grace.

Have a pelasant Friday evening as well!:MugBeer:

Yeah even barely introduced at end of game Vhailor had been given quite a story... about Fall-From-Grace i personally still vote her as greatest weirdo in all gaming, truly a walking contradiction and yet making sense. Priestess of No Goddess and succubi who prefer to talk, whoever come up with this idea is my hero and genuine genius, she just took all stereotypes and throw them out of the window xD

also Dak'kon commenting previous journey to Fortnress of Regret was truly one a speech it's seldom to hear from game protagonist much less from sidekick. That spoiler may sound little insulting with curent state of market and should be taken literally without looking at background of industry Then again PS:T is Visual Novel in a sense just with much [much] more emphasis on "novel" part.

Yeah, PS:T feels more like a book, then a game :) The best book you´ll ever play and the best game you´ll ever read :D

Good luck with dis. Ain't difficult ones!

[figmentPez]

I found Balance in All Things to be a pain. Not really difficult, but it was an unpleasant surprise to find that killing Ignus in the Fortress of Regrets counts as a good act. Since I didn't plan for that, it tipped me over into being Neutral Good, and I had to reload a save from before leaving, find an evil act to do, and then redo that last area. Such a pain.

Aye, I can feel ya. It was more troublesome for me to be Lawful Good, haha.

I finally got them all done too! Have a few tips to offer (spoilers)

Manifest Adahn:
With (I think 13 Charisma) you can tell every one of the Dustmen who approaches you on the top floor that you're Adahn, and that goes a long way to getting the 10-12 unique tells you need to make him real.

Recommend the speed run technique to get the true neutral achievement. I tried on a complete playthrough, fastidiously saving before and after every conversation in case my responses changed TNO's alignment, got to the end and it didn't trigger! Only thing I could think was that it must have dipped out and back in in the course of one conversation or another. When I did the speed run it worked fine though (and it's quick!)

Get Dakkon's blade to highest, neutral and lowest morale state (3 achievements):
The responses you make in the Ravel conversation seem to be significant enough to swing Dakkon all the way to the extremes. See if you can get him close to fighter level 10 before the conversation while keeping him as neutral as possible (ie don't do the circle of zerthimon with him, don't talk with him except to switch between fighter and mage, don't talk to giths in the street, don't solve any slavery-oriented quests). Save before the conversation, kick everyone out of the party but him, and try the "I consider him a friend", "useful" and "I hate him" responses on successive reloads. You should get enough XP to bump him up a level and be able to swing it in each of the morale directions at the same time.
To get him to that state through normal questing keep all the other companions parked and just level with him (most XP in Sigil is through conversation anyhow). You can always grab the others if you really need to fight but not splitting the XP 4 - 6 ways makes an enormous difference.


Actually get to play with Celestial Fire without killing Trias:
If you like to level you can get to Curst once it's slid into Carceri, turn all the mobs and situations back towards good, go straight into the council but only send Annah in to the final room, stealthed. She can pickpocket the sword from Trias. Then send TNO in with all his tattoos, rings etc unequipped and let Trias kill him. You respawn in Curst with the end game sword, endlessly respawning high XP mobs to kill, and when you're ready you can go confront him and redeem him at your leisure :)

I can not seem to get the Balance in All Things achievement. I am True Neutral going into the fight with the Transcendent One, but however I end the game (I think I've tried all the ways) it doesn't reward the achievement. Is it because I was Lawful Good for most of the game, and only True Neutral at the very end?

Yes.

Yeah You need to stay True Neutral for ENTIRE game and NEVER shift aligment in any way... if you can't manage it You can try to made through game while carefully following walktrough from for example GameFAQ but its LOT of checking during playthrough as aligment shift aren't showed in-game until they reach breaking point and even then You don't get warning... so it's veeery tricky one to get.

These blade achievements are giving me a lot of trouble.

I did the quests involving githzerai citizens that I could find, solved all his dialogue, told him I don't see him as a slave, vow to free him, finished the circle, spoke well of him in the maze, and... it's still just stuck at neutral.

Perhaps I'm just not understanding the requirements.

Is he supposed to immediately equip the new blade once his morale is good, regardless of level?

For example:
Dak'kon is a level 8 fighter / 9 mage before Ravel's maze
After the maze let's assume he has good morale

Does he:
A) Equip the Streaming Blade right away and you just have to level to get the achievement
or
B) Continue to use his Chained Blade UNTIL he is a level 10 mage AND/OR fighter AT WHICH POINT he switches to the new blade and the achievement pops?

Does he have to be level 10/10? Because the Curst xp is enough to get him to 9/10 and that didn't unlock it

[figmentPez]

The blade only changes at level up (the wiki says[torment.fandom.com] this is based only on Fighter levels).

Thank you so much! Curst Underground was just enough to push him to 10 Fighter with 3 characters in the party and dropping the third before accepting any quest rewards. As soon as I accepted his level up the achievement popped. Only the true neutral playthrough and kinstealer left now

True neutral should be easy as current speedruns seem to end up not doing enough stuff in the game to shift the alignment.

I'm currently working on kin-stealer and it should be pretty easy to get as well.

My plan is this, and I'll edit once I've tried it to report results:

Before Ravel's maze:
* Have Dak'kon teach you his language
* Press the issue about how he survived, which he won't tell you
* Talk to the random Githzerai citizens in Sigil and tell them he's your slave
* Have Dak'kon kill Dhall, Kii'na and other Githzerai (not sure if this will REALLY have an effect, but it can't hurt)

During the maze:
* Say that you hate him or that he's a tool to be used (I'm leaning towards the latter)

After the maze:
* Talk to him about Ravel's words, and be excited that he's your slave
* Rush the Crust quests for easy xp and continue playing until he's Fighter 10

Edit: It worked! Now to speedrun the game and get the last one. It's been a sweet ride!
