A warning first off
My guides tend to be straight forward. I will provide solutions to every mission in the game and not just hints.
If you don't want to rob yourself of the fun you could have with this game, move along.

There are spoiler-free guides out there and I strongly recommend using them to try and solve the game by yourself before you use my guide.

You can also find help in steam forums or on the discord support channel https://discord.gg/arg

Any luck with Fangtastic?

I think I've whittled down Jane Doe to "view of it -------- her". Seeing them use the Hand of Glory is usually the protective aspect. It's also mentioned twice she turned and saw them use it. So it's just figuring out the verbiage at this point.
acid  [author] 23 Jul @ 12:48am 
well, could have told you that I already did that ^^°
Gonna see if the game works again lateron and give it another shot.
Nals 22 Jul @ 12:05pm 
Have now brute forced every 2 combination for Zekh. It's going to be a 3+
Nals 21 Jul @ 4:05pm 
Was working for me. Taking a quick break though because I'm burning out a bit.
acid  [author] 21 Jul @ 9:02am 
Is the game working for you guys? All I get is server error
Nals 21 Jul @ 8:16am 
Lack of ?? protects her? Maybe?
Nals 21 Jul @ 8:06am 
alt option is insomnia is an 8 letter word, so digging through that right now.
Nals 21 Jul @ 6:56am 
I think protects her is the finale of Jane Woe. It answers the question, just need to figure out what the 4-2-2 is.
Nals 20 Jul @ 10:24am 
Have tried every combination including ST-412 which means this is probably at least 3 answers. 3 is doable to brute force, 4 will uh, 4 would suck.
Nals 20 Jul @ 10:22am 
Tried that combo, still nothing.
