Sveta Earwig in KRZ catacombs (knife challenge lady)

[Marty Chonks]

Does anyone know how much skills are exactly needed to beat her at the knife game (to win the ice amulet)? The game says it checks dex + melee weapon + attention, but 11 dex + 155 melee (with intelligence check prior the contest 160) + 8 attention is apparently not enough (just tried it); do i need even higher attention or just max out the melee weapons? Is there some sort of a trick?

Any feedback would be highly appreciated!

Edit: i just used the potion to respec my abillites and even with 11 dex / 11 attention and 198 melee weapons (somehow the game didn't want me to have 199) i couldn't beat her in this contest, this means the ice amulet is now not obtainable for me and so is the mystic relic achievement impossible...

OK, after countless tries i finally made it! It seems there are a few hidden stats and you need low intelligence and high endurance mixed up with average dexterity and attention + 100 (or more) melee weapons. At the end what i had was 10 endurance, 1 intelligence, 6 dex and att, 100 melee weapons and the rest i didn't touch -> force 1 and because of my traits per 5 and luck 5; i'm not sure it works as intended by the devs but it worked for me.

PS: only took a year to someone find out precisely...but my method still worked for me somehow, with 1 intelligence (dunno if they changed something since last summer or i just got lucky or something).

When is she meant to appear in the sewers? I've never seen her in the bar down there.

Just make a save and keep waiting outside the catacombs then if u have no luck for a long time, reload.

I wanted to add my experience on this in the thread.

I think she only shows up at the end of the month, I saw her first on July 30 but couldnt pass the check, I came back and waited 3 days until Wednesday September 28th. I waited in the bar, so I didnt have to go outside the zone and then come back in. She just appeared there after the I rested.

The stats I had when the check finally succeeded:
STR 7, End 6, Dex 10, Int 8, att 8, per 5, luck 5 - Melee weapons 106

You need to refuse the knife and the beer and the third time she offers you something choose: Speak up! or else you wont get the relic.

Looking at that node in the game - checks it does:

MeleeWeapons >= 73
Agility >= 6
Perception >= 6
Intelligence >= 6
Charisma 5, this just controls path through dialogs

But wow is that one complicated node.

Thats awesome, now we know what we exactly need! Thanks you lovely hacker!

Can you also find out how she spawns, is it at an specific day? or is just random?
