Numina - Guide for Routes and Special Collections

All you need to know to plan your routes for Numina.
I haven't played the game on English, but am a beta tester and wrote the German guides.

Once the 2nd part is published, I will add the most impacting choices until the final.

Added chapters for Mink's Quest (Cat locations) and the Battleoutfits.

Before you start

Before you start, think about what main route you want to create for your first walkthrough.

Guardian Spirit

Either you want to have a great or worse relationship between Shawn and his Guardian Spirit.

Raphael

Raphael life/death has a strong impact on the game.
The better the relationship between Raphael and Shawn's Guardian Spirit, the higher are his chances to survive until the final chapter.

Romance

There are 4 types of romances you can start: Sarah, Arc, Cassandra and Shawn!
But there is even the option to not reach a romantic relationship until the end.

Conviction

There are 2 main factions in the game.
The Ecclesia, whose secrets will be reveiled through the game.
And the Rebells, who fight against the Ecclesia but seems to have secrets, too.
It is possible to oppose both of them in the later game, weakening the faction you formerly confirmed.

Common recommendation for each route

Generally, ignoring the most impacting choices throughout the game, you should think about this main route:

Guardian Spirit > Raphael > Romance > Conviction > Relationship to the other Characters.

In the German guide (will be updated with the remaining routes), you can find the reactions relecting the relationships between the party and the guardian spirit.

[Charactername] (sichtbar): changes the relationship visible via the hearts.

As writing even one guide is a huge work, I (and others) would appreciate it if anyone volunteers to write the English guide.
