Episode 2 route choice.

10-02-2011, 05:51 PM

I don't understand the choice at the beginning of Ep2, says I have 3 choices, forest/tundra/hills, but then brings me to a map that doesn't indicate forest or tundra or hills, and only 2 choices that seem to bring me to the same place.

I went further down each path.. One way my crow panics and there's no 10 round limit but a tougher layout and an easy clue, otherway my crow stays chill and the challenge has the 10 round limit with no clue and the easier layout. I'd like to take whichever path is more difficult and rewarding (story > xp for rewards), don't want to play them both out, especially if they branch further, will just get too confusing.

Did I miss something? Seems every time I complete an episode, the next one starts out with a metagame challenge to be allowed to play it (ep1 had to delete that dlc line from the save file, now this).

I'm playing ep2 right now and I'm confused too. I didn't even notice the 2 choices you mentioned?? Also after the latest battle I suddenly got a message "your will is increased by 25 during battle". Huh? What? Why? Is this a result of a path I didn't know I was choosing?

Can anyone who has the Secrets of Norns addon tell me when it shows up in this ep because so far I haven't seen it and I'm afraid I missed something earlier.

While I was searching for an answer, I did run into your 25 memory thing. You unlocked the third tier of the crow's abilities, the friend version.

Yeah I do have the crow's third tier ability but the +25 Will thing is something else, I think. At the start of every battle my char casts Cold & Broken Song which gives me +25 Will power for 99 turns. I have no idea why I have that skill...

It has been a little while since I last ran a character through the game ( waiting on the patch ) but from what I remember the 3 paths all have the same maps but with slightly different enemy placement and goals. Depending on what path you took you get a stat increase power that is active for the rest of the battles you play. I think there is will, memory and intuition. As for which path is which that is a bit vague, the names of the battles and dialogue do change a little depending on which path you are taking so you could redo them until you get the path you want.

That explains it. Thanks + rep.
