LegoMan posted:I never got the hammer or scepter off the wall in the cabin. The globe didn't do anything that I saw. In act 3, I never figured out the sequence on the spinning puzzle. I managed to spin the camera and time the flash to see the wall but it never really gave me any info. I think the hammer and scepter are just meant to be references to P03 and whatever the wizard's name was. The globe is apparently just the game world. The camera bot lets you light up a skull that has a combination for the sigil pillar in the other room.

There is a way to use the campfires to make the first act really easy: If you let the weirdos eat a poisonous creature at the campfire, it kills them off for the rest of the run. You can make some ridiculous creatures at any of the now unoccupied campfires you encounter later on

Or will it do it automatically when you choose a poisonous creature? Because usually they don't get to eat it anyways

Because usually they don't get to eat it anyways once the game opens up, after you have fought the third boss I think, you can leave them by the fire multiple times risking them getting eaten. When you get that option, just leave an adder on there until they snatch it

Just beat it, I wish Magnificus had its own section, or the gem stuff was introduced earlier in act 3 rather than after beating one of the bosses. Wasn't as satisfying as The Hex overall but Inscryption had way better gameplay.

Can you do anything with the sigil pillar in act 3? I used the flash from the camera to reveal a skull but that's only one and it didn't seem like brute forcing it was the intention. Also, what's with the red 4:00 in magnificus' place in botopia or the locked door in the botopia graveyard area, east of the boss. I activated the lock icon in P03's place but it didn't seem to do anything there. How about the passport-like photo in the secret area of magnificus' tower in act 2 and in the old_data? Is that just connected to the ARG somehow? I feel like the ending left way more questions than answers, which was a bit disappointing. I was hoping it would offer some explanation of why the disk was hidden and the coordinates put in the pack. This thread looks like a CIA FOIA release.

early on in Act 3 and it's definitely mechanically weaker than what came previously. a lot of the interesting tactical decisions are gone because drawing from your deck vs. empty vessels is nowhere near as interesting as deck vs. squirrels from act 1. you just have to play defensively until you end up with enough energy to actually play anything good, so the interesting decision of whether to draw a squirrel is totally gone.

Okay, I am not getting how to build a deck to beat the Trapper. He always starts with so many cards, but I feel like I'm always forced to draft a big deck by the time I get to him, then I get a bad draw and die turn 2/3, even if I beeline all the sacrifice spots on the map. Fought him 5 times in a row and counting. Been trying to hoard a Black Goat or something for this kind of situation but haven't been lucky that way either.

Fought him 5 times in a row and counting. Been trying to hoard a Black Goat or something for this kind of situation but haven't been lucky that way either. Things to keep in mind: His hoppy frogs will turn into traps when they die, and traps will only kill the card directly opposite them when they die. So you can use bi/trifucated attack to take out several at a time to clear lanes for you if need be, though you'll want to either let one snap up a card of yours or have a pelt from earlier in the run in your hand for phase 2. Ideally, you'll want lethal on the field when going into phase 2, and use your pelts to clear out the front lanes immediately in front of your biggest hitters so the match is over before they even act or you'll quickly be overwhelmed. I recommend keeping an eye out for Mantis God and either pumping it up via campfires or sacrificing it to something bigger for huge attack to three different spaces.

There are some mechanics tied to it that don't come into play immediately. It ends up being potentially pretty useful by the end.

Thanks for the Trapper tips, I have gone on to beat the moon and take a photograph and I'm not sure what to do now. Everything is black, there's a candle in the distance that I can't get closer to? I'm just messing with my graphics settings now.

Sigil Pillar: Top: look left from table at wall, cuckoo clock will appear. Put in 11:00 (part 1 reference). This is where to put in 4:00 to get a broken card. Middle: Time the camera flash on the grave. Bottom: Create a custom bot that matches the screen to the left of the table. Of course once you have two, you can bruteforce the third. Locked Doors: Bone Graveyard: You need a key from part2, by offering a complete obol (broken left +broken right in battle) to the part2 offering coffin. Very important lore. Secret Area in a bottom right direction: You need a key from part2, by completing the mycologist’s quests. You can buy the cards required in the shop. Located in roughly the same place in part3. P03: It opens a door corresponding to the real-world location. Try getting up from the table… I loved part1, I just wish part2 and part3 were roguelikes so they were more replayable.

It might work slightly differently than part2 sigil puzzles in that you have to click away for each one you’re testing Orb Crabmelt posted:I made it to act 2.

Post-Endgame spoilers please don’t click until you’ve played through once. The arg has now managed to complete three separate cyphers that involved various things such as replaying the game jam version of inscryption with a word file added in its directory, placing specific cards on the table to match a code from a several century old card game, using the words MIRROR and FLOOR to figure out where to count specific missing assets to produce a code to put in the console, and just recently researching a booster set the dev made for a different card game to find a solution. Right now the ARG is stuck at a website that took physical addresses to send out “orders” before shutting down and calling everyone crazy, and uhh… Hitler. Yeah… progress kind of slowed down after that element was introduced.

Act 2 question What the heck does the ghost key do after you do all the mushroom combos? Also does the sailboat go anywhere ? At the end, when you pick which scrype it 'feels' like there's a secret choice with how the dialog box is but I couldn't find anything. Also act 3 isnt bad but man I miss act2 and really miss act 1.

This is the first time I think I've heard of a game have a act 1 so strong that people just loving hate act 2/3 and wish the ARG poo poo was left on the floor. Kinda hard to blame folks but still, I haven't seen anyone really like what happens after the cabin.

i don't think act 3 is bad, i still enjoyed it. but it's pretty clearly worse than act 2, which is worse than act 1, in terms of basically every single thing. the further the game goes up its own rear end the worse it gets imo.

I guess I wasn’t too upset at the turn taken after Act 1 because using kinda crappy game mechanics in service of a story has just always been Mullins’ thing, like none of this is a surprise if you’ve already played The Hex, but it was still a disappointment because Act 1 and all the marketing being focused around it lead me to believe he had finally found a way to marry that kind of thing with actually-engaging gameplay and that he’d really grown as a designer. So acts 2 and three didn’t disappoint me because I wasn’t expecting it but because of missed potential. In act 1, I once got a card that was glitched and staticky, but then died before I could draw it. Does anyone know what it was?
