I was pouring me a glass of water on the kitchen and offered him the cup. He drank. I drank water from the same cup afterwards. He's already in my party, should I ask him for a recipe from his people?

Well other than work phantom blade zero really .

Also some Valor mortis and might gonan try out caves of qud cause the game looks cool.

found another neph, and wanted to take a go at killing it. Is there ANY way a solo esper such as myself can kill Agolgot? How can I deal the 4000 damage I need and YES I looked up the stats of Agolgot cuz ive been thinking about this for a solid hour and a half now, is there a way to kill it without pulling out a giant robot or something?

these beams keep RUINING me, is there any way to predict the second/third volley? The first one is great to dodge but I cant for the life of me figure out how to predict the other volleys or even survive them

I got told to walk into a clam by a frog but I couldnt do it and I wanna try now :(

I didn't see this posted here yet, so I thought I'd share here. I'm surprised we haven't seen early access DLC before this, but it's cool to see Caves of Qud in some additional headlines today. Congratulations, Freehold and Kitfox!

This one stings. granted i'm not that high level but i had done a good amount of vendor chicanery and i randomly had found a legendary scribe as well... trying to get a god run set up to kill the 7 big bois achiev and didn't expect getting 1-turned on strata 1 Bethesda

pyrokinesis and steam hurts i understand, but i count 3 full turns of pyrokinesis and him throwing a grenade at the minimum in the log, swimming sometimes feels much slower than it aught be

Say I lost my party at around sub-40 baroque ruins, are they just gone forever if I don’t actually go and find them?

With no spoilers, just cryptic hints. I'm level 25 and decided to explore to the bottom, scooping 100% of the oil along the way.

And then I got to the magma layer and... boy howdy is that place ridiculous. Salt worms that could probably 1 shot me... yeah turning back.

So is this just a hidden super dungeon, or will there be a quest to come here later?

Couple of things i want to note:

- What do claws, tail, and muzzle do? The announcement talks about mutating your tail into a prehensile tail, is that part of a linear level-based progression or is it a more traditional mutation?

- "Agility-tilted attribute progression", it looks like choice of animal locks you much harder into a "build" than morphotype or caste. I predict that this affects the points you get every 6 levels, but you still get an attribute point on odd multiples of 3.

- Mutated Ape: I predict this will be a "vanilla" option. Like humans in dnd. Even stats, but with whatever new features the mutated animals bring.

- Mutated Bear: Notably, this will become the most natural way to play an Urshiib character. Will the stats, mutations and skills work with or against this?

- Mutated Bird: Certainly you get flying for free. I would bet this is a charisma character that loses a lot of toughness. Maybe, if they want to go all-in, it comes with brittle bones. Perhaps birds come with a bigger use for gossip which i have generally found to be useless.

- Mutated Chameleon: Perhaps the first stealth build in the game? I could see this coming with a simple Camoflage ability that just says "for x turns, enemies cannot see you"

- Mutated Crab: Probably high AV, other than that im not sure

- Mutated Dog: Can i equip a sword to my mouth? Maybe has naturally higher reputation with every faction. MAYBE plays more like a snapjaw

- Mutated Equine: Probably has multiple legs. Almost certainly a lot of move speed. I wonder, if saltbacks are rideable now, maybe equines are too?

- Mutated Frog: I would bet my life's savings that this guy starts with a permanent tongue twist mutation. Maybe some tools centered around Jump

- Notably, these are in alphabetical order and we're nowhere near the end of the alphabet. What other mutated animals would be cool to play as?

I swear im usually better at shading but I cant find the blending tool in this terrible program, anyway this is Oshwyat he's a scholar and is definitely not being consumed by an eldritch lust for psionic energy and his own ambition to learn all of Qud's history

Not really a spoiler but I'll tag it out anyways: How do you see the third troll? I've tried night vision (both mutant and true kin), I've tried night vision goggles. He turns up on my minimap but that's it.

I wanna be a salt kraken. No reason I just wanna try out being a salt kraken psychic

One of my genuinely favourite things about Qud is that there is no limit to the divine and celestial ironies that can take place during a run. Case in point here, we see the body swapped psychic tinker spider luring what was once flesh kin of the Spirit piloting her into her den. For dinner you ask? Almost certainly, she is a Carbide chef after all! But the water merchant has found himself in a spot of luck, first because he sold her the love injector that led to his imprisonment, and second because he's too valuable to simply kill and devour! (The same can't be said for those poor snapjaws, but who cares, they're like goblins! A million more will roam the hills by morning).

And it's such a rare encounter to find one of these fine wanderers out among the wilds, she simply had to have him! Not that he was going to get much choice anyways. It was this or the Girsh and a wasted merchant is always a terrible loss! (Actually the first time I've seen one in the wilds, currently tracking a daughter of exile to join him for a zoo experience)

Truly, my only complaint is that he wasn't carrying a copy of Artless beauty, but thankfully all my AFD run characters will always hold a copy, because I like to imagine them reading it to their potential victims before sending them to meet P'toh and the Sultans!

Note: can't recall which mod is giving me the Yurt item offhand, but it should absolutely be a vanilla item. Having the means to build tent cities and stock them full of stylized items and various merchants is such an immersive experience!

Didnt know choking on ash could instakill like this... I was, really powerful, 100 HR CR, and 50 ER AR. I had all the good mutations, but no real legendary ichor farm up yet

Still, this stings kinda bad

I want to optimize, what do I need to be the best possible esper I can be? Trying to turn my boy into a psionic deity and not quite sure how beyond "get all the esper powers", any esper-related gear I can put on?

What’s the best way to jump back in, character wise? The Diaspora announcement trailer got me intrigued, bought the game back in February 2021 and played about 8 hours before I bounced off it.

Thank you in advance :)

Hi gang, I started as mutated human, went to red rock to do the quest and can't find my way back.

Can I get some tips on how to use the journal map? I'm massively confused, walking around in circles murdering everything but no luck with finding Joppa. I even found some other settlement, Redshire.

Thanks!

I haven't actually swapped to the girsh yet. I'm pretty far into the game and i accidentally fucked up a bit with warm static and i thought getting all mutations would be a good idea but now i have infinite glimmer. So i urgently need to swap to something else. I really like the idea of being Girsh Bethsaida but i don't really like the idea of being restricted to gigantic gear, and apparently all of them are. Is there any way to remove their giant status? Would changing my body by consuming the cloaca/crystal things work?

thanks for the help
