Any ideas about what the golden boughs actually do/are for?

Allegedly they’re the secret behind how lobcorp was able to get energy from abnormalities, and we see in the dungeons that they resonate with the sinners somehow, which is clearly by design; our 12 sinners seem to have been handpicked to have traumatic backstories that will react with the boughs. It seems like the effect doesn’t kick in until the lower floors of each canto’s dungeon though, so my theory is that the golden boughs were causing some sort of weaker resonance with the agents who worked on the abnormalities, and this somehow generated the energy reaction. So maybe that’s why they needed to have humans do the works.

Also I read Leviathan after finishing Canto 3, and drat, Vergilus cannot catch a break.

Started playing the hell’s chicken event. Moral of the story: never eat anything in the City

At least on iOS, dungeon 1 and the last story battle aren’t applying the bonuses right; you only get the base 40/16 plushies on replay. I wasn’t paying attention in the earlier stages/the first go-around, so it could also be bugged there too. :lobcorp: I guess

Edit: so, since the rewards page specifies that eunbong’s chicken isn’t made from k corp’s singularity, we can probably assume other chicken/foodstuffs is. Given the general trend of how singularities seem to work, I can only assume bodhisattva chicken is people.

I'm told it's 40, and no bonus of any kind is applied:

Turns out I was just wrong about the base values for the story battles and easy dungeon; the math happened to match up too well so I thought it was a bug but it’s not. After poking around reddit a bit, I think the base plushie number for the easy dungeon is 25 and the base number for the story battles is 10. So it’s just that the hard dungeon is way more efficient.

New schedule: new IDs and EGO this month. May has a new mini-event, Roll Call, with new IDs and Dante's Notes dropping then, too. June's when we're getting Chapter 4, along with a new Battle Pass and harder Mirror Dungeon.


Looks like it’s Yi Sang on the s2 battle pass. Any idea what abnormality the ego will be from? I think those green things might be umbrellas, so maybe the fox from the mirror dungeons?

Since the LCD exists, I wonder if Iori got her funding after all, or if someone else is heading that up. Assuming it’s the former, must be awkward if she and Vergilus ever bump into each other at the office.

One interesting thing I noticed while rewatching some old cutscenes. Faust says the reason the ch1 abnormalities were so weak was because of the qliphoth deterrence, and that the deterrence will become weaker as we collect more golden boughs. So far the known abilities of the golden boughs seem to be:

1. Qliphoth deterrance (when attached to a lobcorp office? maybe somehow the network of branch offices all work together to power the qd overall?)
2. Letting dante understand what distortions are saying
3. Visualizing scenes from a resonating sinner’s past/mind
4. Physical transformation (kromer)

It's worth noting that the physical transformation was into a Distortion.

Which absolutely makes sense, since the Boughs are presumably Carmen-elemental.

I wonder what part of carmen they are if that’s what they are. We know her nervous system was in that tank in HQ and her consciousness seems to be hanging around in the light. I mean, I guess the golden boughs could still just be the light again, but it kind of seems like the boughs were around before white nights/dark days if they’re responsible for QD

That's LCCA, or Limbus Company Clearence After (as opposed to LCCB, their Before team). No LCA that we know of yet, though one might exist.

The LCA shows up in the last chapter of Leviathan to recruit Vergilius. Maybe it stands for acquisition?

I think our new Sinclair ID might be this bit we saw in Kromer's... delusion? vision of an alternate future?

According to Faust’s n-corp uptie story, she saw sinclair in the glass window, which was the thing Gubo + co were working on in the n-corp lab in Leviathan. So it’s likely that Kromer also looked through the window, and that’s where she saw this

The main change to player economy is the MD change at the first month in, and that's giving us More Experience.

A lot more. Starting 6/29, we'll be getting 22.5 levels in a week if we can chain 3 Hard MD 2s successfully, and further runs are 5 modules for 3 BP levels. Paid battle pass havers are eating good. We'll need more Egoshards to get T4 poo poo unlocked, but as long as they're much (much) lower than the current thread numbers thrown around that shouldn't be a big deal. If T4 egoshard prices are huge, then things get a lot rougher on everyone trying to really wreck endgame.

Interesting; at that rate, as long as you can clear MD2, and as long as you’re not missing any season 1 things from the dispenser, you’d do better to wait until the new MD comes out than grind now, even with the shard loss from season change conversion, right?

You also want to break its head ASAP to reduce the Protection it gains and letting you unload their sin weakness with any weapon type. Applies to most fights in truth.

Also finally realized why Centipide is so awful: the loving UI hides the self-charge in combat when it gains it ON combat. So you basically wanna make sure you kill it AFTER you clash with his every skill because otherwise he will cancel them, and double his not visible self-charge. And since Self-charge is neutral at best for him (you have to win every clash if you want him to stay at 0) it's very easy to end up with "oops you killed him first clash so he has 6 self charge. have fun removing the now 12 in the next 4 turns!". Worse is when you want to clash his big skill after you make him lose charge but oops, too fast and also Rodion is attracting all attacks because Aggro, gently caress you.

I find that Crow’s Eye View is really valuable in this fight; there’s like two specific turns when I usually find myself getting outsped and using it the turn before guarentees I can clash the next turn. You could do the inverse with Chains of Others too, but I prefer bringing Yi Sang to Mersault

Does anyone else get a little frustrated with how often the fandom misgenders Dante? Not, like... obviously, Dante is a fictional character, and I'm sure a lot of the people doing it honestly don't realize that other characters in Limbus never use he/him for them and always use they/them, but that's kind of the thing that frustrates me. Like, Dante is a masculine name and I'd say their body type is generally read as masculine and then a bunch of people never look past that despite the actual textual pronouns used for them, despite a lot of actual nb people not presenting perfectly androgynously.

Yeah, it really annoys me too. Originally I was like, “well, they’re the player viewpoint character in a gacha game, it’s normal for people to project their own gender onto them” but after reading a few too many asinine takes about how Dante is totally actually he/him and everyone just uses they/them pronouns for them because they don’t remember their past/for player immersion/blah blah blah I just get closer and closer to distorting every time I see them referred to with he/him.

Hmm, Heathcliff is remarkably well-adjusted this canto, but anyone else hear those distorted sound effects start up in some of his dialogue when he gets upset? Methinks he’s one or two really bad revelations from a conversation with Carmen
