When is too late to start with the missions?

[CONIC]

Right there in the title. Just finished the last Malkuth mission in day 40, and noticed the whole deal about the core supressions. Am I locked out of good endings?

[LotusBlade]

Well, look:
1) To win game from first go you have to beat suppresions when they are unlocked and then immediately do "return to repository", no other way;
2) To win game you have to get lucky with some abnormalies, since there are very hard ones to maintain, so winning run should be carefully chosen;
3) You will probably need aleph weapons and armor for every agent, plenty of them;

You may try doing suppression right now and return to day 40 after each one, but note that it takes much more effort to clear them at day 40 (need much more energy for counter to rise).

P.S.
You are locked out from true ending, because it requires having exactly 100% of your journal filled with info about abnormalies. You have to literally get every one of them and fully investigate, which can't be done in 1 run... Unless you cheat with save files.

Doing 10 core suppresions will only unlock few final days (i think it's 46-50 or so), but it will grant only normal ending (tho i just suggest you to watch it on youtube instead).

I have to say those core suppressions are really well thought out "Bosses" if you will, they're tough but very managable.

Yep they are fine, the big challenge will begin in last days when you have to suffer 3+ suppresions at once + playing day normally + getting whole new white ordeals.

And you have pretty much 13 days left until Library of Ruina release ('lobotomy corp 2').

Yea the white ordeals are pretty nasty if youre doing a 0 agent death run.

Watching the normal ending on YT? I figured I'd do that with the true one... I decided to restart with all my gear and I'm going fast and calculated with the core supressions, but I dunno if any true ending is really worth the hassle. Just wanted to do a nice run supressing as many sephirahs as I can. See what can I get.

It is never too late, as you need few restarts from Day 1 anyways (unless you know exactly what you are doing and cheezing with MR).
So just do them before day 40.
All progress is saved between restarts. Restarts are part of lore and story.

[CONIC]

Thanks a lot guys. I was thinking of leaving it unfinished but you make it look possible to pass the game. I'm with Gebura's last mission of repressing 3 ALEPH's, gotta see if I can get another one in day 35 bc I already have 3 but one is WhiteNight, lol.

Honestly, as someone who got his first aleph on day 37, its honestly surprising how challenging it is just to get a dusk event. Just takes so much time. And I can't just cheese it now because of the silent orchastra, queen of hatred, and red hooded merc all at the same time. I really don't know how to win at this point.

I'm pretty much in the same boat, but that's what memory imprints and day one restarts are for. If the run can't be salvaged or you hit a wall, it's reset time.

Its rather aggravating having to start right at the beginning because of getting unlucky with a aleph that can cause a instant game over. Especially when you have easy ones like blue star or hell, even army in black. Wish the game was balenced a little better. But I guess its one of those kinda games. The one masochists like so much. Like darkest dungeon. Or splunky.

There is one great reward for suppresing boss, which allows to switch abnormality choises (after day end). This way restarting game profitable.

Red Riding Hood, Mountain of Smiling Bodies, crying Fetus, Army in Black, Train, Prince of Silence (DLC) — are pure cancer and should be avoided at all cost. While Mountain can be countered by simply placing 4-5 aleph geared guys near it's room, something like Silence will randomly kill your agents just because he is in a bad mood.

"Prince of Silence (DLC)" Hmm, don't know this one, as it doesn't exist lol. Nice try.
Anyway, the Re-extraction is the only thing I can think on if the default game, and its not a reward from completing a core suppression.

The good boss reward is from the same department you get that research, as it allows you to no longer lose EGO from employee deaths. However, all the bosses are required to be beaten so you will acquire all their rewards and bonuses that will assist you and allow you to beat the game more quickly, such as Hod's Boss reward (new hired employees now start with level 3 on all stats, can be decreased for free)

https://lobotomycorp.fandom.com/wiki/Price_of_Silence_(Legacy) he does exists. Can be downloaded for free, as well, as some others like Orange Tree, Hammer of Light, Unknown Portrait etc (sorry some names might be misspelled).
