Shadow over Neketaka (spoilers)
I'm currently at the part where you have to release the dragon, and I'm stumped. I got the 5 metaphysics check, and I don't know where to go from there. If anybody knows how to get past this bit without killing or releasing him the regular way, do tell.

Yeah, I only have 5 metaphysics. I’ll need to go level up some more and do this quest later. Thanks for the help!

You can also buy drugs around town and use the incense with +2 meta/insight/other stuff. I keep like 5 of each around and restock them as I go frm town to town when they reset just for this kind of thing. Eat it on yourself and all the friends to easily get huge bonus.

Or you can respec your character -> do the quest -> respec again (ok that is a bit gamey :D)

Wouldn't recommend this at it is somewhat bugged atm and remove some of the unlocked talents/teaching. It's safer to just hire a new char to use as Party boost fodder if you plan on doing this.

Wow thank you for the notice, I didn't notice, that the skills vanish. I hope that get fixed soon

I freed the dragon after syphoning his soul, but no metaphysics were needed for me, my main character had only 1 point and the most had 8 (count of 5 i think), but was no value to me to count.

Hope this help to somebody.

So if you fumble with the protection to keep him locked up 2 times, he will atack you. Then you whack him real good till he wields and when ur given the choice, decide not to kill him. Then ur given the choice to syphon the soul and free him without needing the 9 metaphysics.

U might need to have talked about it with him before tempering with the locks
