Osteoblasts Walkthrough

This guide will help you to finish the game.

Introduction

I didn't see any walkthrough for this game so I decided to make one. I'll try to keep it short and simple.
This guide is made based on version 1.2.2 of the game.

Gamefaqs version in case the images in this guide are deleted by Steam: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/305739-osteoblasts/faqs/80249

First Things First

Some tips:

• Save often. Even though you can revive if you die, it costs a lot of money. Try not to die.
  
• Save in multiple slots. Some dungeons won't let you get out once you are inside.
  
• Try to get one blast spell book of each type. Check the resistance and weakness chart below.
  
• Try to get another blessing instead of Rest for healing. I got Monsoon although Petrichor works better.
  
• The game is grindy, so make sure to assign your stat properly. I found focusing all stats on Soul works best. You can try other builds as well, although you might want to assign some other stat to make it work.
  
• Retrieve blessings from every statue that you can.
  
• Purchasing Phospate from Whale statue help to recover your Bones (HP) out of battles. You just need to walk a few steps to recover.
  
• Use all Memory of the Towers that you got. It will increase your passives slot.
  
• Use all candies that you got. If you have some spare money, buy them in Bones N' Drinks. After playing as 3 different class, I found that a class can have different stat gain on level up so it can be tough to force a certain build to them (Shaman on Soul build in my case, since it is more focused on Spite build).

I played the game as the Stranger and Simple (hidden) class. All boss fights will be referenced with those characters. You might want to slightly adjust the strategy depends on your class.

Also, the game might have random drops on its chests and other drops, so some items might have been incorrect.

Spells that becomes my favorite in the game: Thunder and Dim Wave (when I played Stranger class), Thunder and Absorb (when I played Simple class).

Weakness and resistance chart:

To check which type the enemy is, look at their outline color. This doesn't work on some enemies though.

Lastly, note that sometimes I didn't catch when the achievement pops, so some of the conditions might be wrong since I just assumed it. Feel free to correct me for those cases.

For Achievement Hunters

You need to play the game twice: once with the hidden class and once with any class. It's up to you whichever you want to play first.
Check here on how to unlock the hidden class, Simple.
TL;DR: press the back button on the class selection.

---

[Stranger] Level 18 (Strength 12, Skill 27, Soul 29, Spite 19, Speed 11, Survival 17)
Keep on spamming Knock to the boss. Heal whenever you need it. Parry is also helpful if you need more Marrow. Purchasing Rummage from the whale statue might also help with the healing.

---

[Simple] Level 19 (Strength 10, Skill 23, Soul 29, Spite 21, Speed 12, Survival 16)
Spam Spook on it and heal whenever necessary. If you have Ward, spam it too. Having Spite-based damage also helps since the boss is quite tanky (I used Cumulonimbus). Purchasing Phosphate from the whale statue might also help for tanking.

Quality Procedures
Perform a successful act of burglary



- Exit the house from the north exit.

Grave Peninsula

- Open both chests and unlock the wall.
- Return to The Bog through the south exit.

The Bog

- Save and don't replace this save until you beat the next boss.
- Enter the tower in the middle of the map.

Hall of Uniforms

Note: Once you are climbing the tower, you can't go back. You still can exit the tower if you are in the first floor by stepping on the cracks west of the bear statue. Make sure you have a shield that has Guard skill in your inventory. Parma has this skill and can be bought in the Fishing Village.

Boss: Uniformity of Nature
My level:

---

[Stranger] Level: 19 (Strength 13, Skill 27, Soul 34, Spite 19, Speed 12, Survival 17)
You need to increase your physical defense for this. I equipped Parma to learn Guard, a great defensive move. The boss is weak to Echo, so if you have any echo skill, just use it in between the Guard. Don't use Bunker as an alternative skill. You'll take too much damage on the turn you cast it. Heal whenever you need it and keep Guard up at all times.

---

[Simple] Level: 20 (Strength 12, Skill 24, Soul 34, Spite 21, Speed 14, Survival 14)
To be honest, I forgot to bring any Guard skill with me, and I'm too lazy to redo since my last save is ~2h away. I used a Parry skill (Gauntlet has this skill) for its dodge chance, while healing and attacking in between.

- Open both chests and exit the tower.

Do not touch the burning logs. It will give you damage.
- There is a barrel to the north. If you are strong enough, you can get some items from it. I'm not sure what "strong" enough means, but you'll be able to break it later. It doesn't have anything too important so don't worry about missing out.

[Simple] Level 26 (Strength 13, Skill 29, Soul 49, Spite 25, Speed 14, Survival 15)

Just keep on attacking and watch out for the boss' DoTs. To be honest, I only spammed Thunder and Petrichor (and some Parry/Ward/Umbrella whenever I needed more Marrow) in this fight. Don't attack him with Soul/Spite-based attack whenever he casts Ward, though.

The boss isn't much. You need to finish it with physical attack though.

---

[Simple] Level 50 (Strength 21, Skill 52, Soul 136, Spite 44, Speed 21, Survival 30)
I just spammed Ward and Absorb for this fight, and use Thunder ocassionally. Absorb and counter attack are enough to finish the fight.

Boss: Graulf
My level:

---

[Stranger] Level 52 (Strength 22, Skill 51, Soul 125, Spite 54, Speed 30, Survival 32)
Keep Guard up at all times. I usually alternate between attacking and healing on the next 2 turns. Don't use physical attack since the boss might counter you.

---

[Simple] Level 50 (Strength 26, Skill 52, Soul 112, Spite 53, Speed 21, Survival 30)
For this fight I had to change my equipment and use an equipment that has Guard (Targe). Guard is essential, and Monsoon is more beneficial here for healing so you can focus on attacking and casting Guard.

If you finish the game as any class except the hidden class (Simple), you'll get an achievement after the credits.
Impossible Alternative
Defeat the combined thoughtform Graulf



Congrats for beating the game!

...or not.

If you played the hidden class, Simple, you'll respawn in Northen Lakes (see section 7 for more details). If you played as other class, that's everything!

Get a blessing from the priest in Fishing Village to improve your chances of winning. Alternate between Guard > Attack > Ward/Parry. I wanted to get Bunker skill but I couldn't seem to get it, so I switched to Parry instead. Try to get Absorb since you need to heal a lot (Monsoon + Petrichor won't be enough for this fight).

The fight will require a bit of luck. If your max HP get debuffed twice, your chance to die is high. If your HP is lower than 100, your chance to die is high. Just cast Parry whenever that happens to test your luck (Guard or Ward won't have any effect if you get attacked by a high damaging skill), then quickly cast heal/Absorb. Make sure to have Guard/Ward/Parry (or Bunker if you have it) up at all times.

If your HP is not maxed, use Absorb. If it's maxed, feel free to switch to other attacks (I used Thunder). Once the boss has less than 50% HP, he'll try to debuff your max HP a lot, so try to save your Ward from time to time and only use it 1 turn after your max HP is debuffed.

If you think that you are not strong enough, level up at Witch Cat and/or increase your stat by eating candies. I had 36k money at this point of the game, meaning that I could buy ~120 candies to increase my Soul stat if I wanted to make the fight easier. You can buy most of them from Bones N' Drinks (the inn in Fishing Village) for 300 each or Violeta in Boreal Beach (2 screens north from Grigori Village) for 400 each. I tried it and managed to beat the boss in 3 turns with 402 Soul stat.

Need More Info

I'll leave some parts that I couldn't obtain here.

Mad Meadow

How to unlock this door.

Ragmarian Ruins

What to do with this shrine.

Wheel of the Future

How to open this chest.


There are also other stuffs like doors that couldn't be opened (the one in Papulous Graveyard and Fishing Village), but I'm not sure whether it's intended or not.

Also, is it possible to go to the upper side in City of Glass?

I'll leave it here for now in case there are other people who wants to explore about this further.

Afterword

I know it doesn't have 100% completion (helpful cartographer said that I missed 1 locked door) and I tend to be lazy at the end to specify the chests, but I hope it helps you to finish the game!

oioioioioifan: to be honest, i dont remember much of the game, but have you tried doing all the things i mentioned on the bog area? They might unlock something to unlock the area. On the other hand, it is not a missable area and you can proceed the game without it so you might want to continue playing to see if it unlocks that way. Sorry for not being much help, but hopefully it'll help! :)

[oioioioioifan]

hey, i'm stuck, i tried going to the well but where the statue is located there's rocks on both sides, so i can't move on, is this a bug? do i need to beat someone or do something to access the place further?

[Icy-Cream]

Hooray! Thanks for permission!

Never mind! Maybe its the update issue in chatting.

I'll leave the message here when I'm done.

[aquatorrent]

@Icy-Cream: no problem! and sure, as long as you credit me, that's alright.
and sorry for not responding to your message. i don't think i got it... steam chat notification is a bit weird on mine recently.

[Icy-Cream]

Oooh, that makes me feel better for not doing something unnecessary, thanks for comfort!!

Anyway, may I translate part of your guide into Chinese please?

One of my friend Amazing-X-Brain helped devs localize this game in Chinese recently, I want to help out tooo, since there're many Chinese reviews & players who bought it because of their next game Virgo VS Zodiac. But we get lost in maze or trap very soon for the reason that map is blurry or the key is hard to find.

In fact I lost my way finding crow key and sending you message on August 4th in the friends queues. Finally, later on August 10th I manage to find it behind the Abandoned Shack, in the Jufra Waterfalls. I still miss the Labyrinth of the Mind cause I cannot find the way to it. RPG's faqs I suppose.

My guide is aiming to solve these place where you easily get lost, I'll @you at the very beginning if It's my honor, please.

[aquatorrent]

@Icy-Cream: thank you! Actually, you still need to finish the game twice even if you play as a simple class. One achievement isnt available as that class :)

[Icy-Cream]

Great guide! To whom It may concern, the hidden class Simple is only available when selecting class from the beginning.

I finish the section 6 as Shaman, level 65, there's no clue to turn into Simple to continue section 7 after beating Graulf with an achievement, which means the second time playing is a necessity.

_(:з」∠)_ How painful to start from nothing once more. sigh

[aquatorrent]

@Pope: thanks for letting me know! I'll put it in the guide.

[ꜱᴀᴍᴘʟᴇ]

know this is a bit late, but you actually need the insomnia passive to get past the path to totem hills, otherwise you fall asleep along the way

[aquatorrent]

@PapaKavs: no problem! you can try creating a thread about it. the developer is usually quite active on the discussion thread :)
