Actions cost 2 times more but give 7 times more familiarity exp
ThinField412 5 Jun, 2022 @ 6:19am 
so does the wine buff on the necromancer make her actions cost more or less? 70 familiarity just to make things harder in the name of 1 achievement seems a waste...

I'm curious as to why the hydras dont hava a drop/affinity? Is it just to make you focus on firebats in the firefly zone?

Chancellor's stash locations, for those who want to save effort (not in unlock order):
Starting screen, two tiles left of start position
Starting screen, one tile north-east of the bonfire
Starting screen, one tile south-west of the mineshaft
Drunk guard screen, one tile south-east of the observatory
West town screen, one knights move north-north-east of the priest

Kill Villagers for hats and sell them in pawn shop, hats give plenty of gold

Thank you, you have confirmed my first suggestion, that it was a bug or glitch. As regards killing the assassin and talking to the chancellor, I am able to those actions on a separate sort of run from the main grinding sort of run. Because of the urgency of killing the assassin, I cannot get the gold to buy potions, and need to use the rodent cape. But I never use the rodent cape on the main sort of run, a point on which you seem to disagree. And since the opportunity to kill the assassin is due to a bug, I've postponed doing any more of those runs till I meet the necromancer.
Interido  [author] 28 Dec, 2021 @ 9:34am 
Puzzled spirit was buged. He was visible before you learned necro buff.
Now its fixed.
I told you to check my guide cos im pretty sure you dont buy mana potions when your mana is out after assassin kill.
Cligdon 28 Dec, 2021 @ 7:09am 
I have checked my game to see if the necromancer tile had become the slightest bit visible: it has not, but neighbouring tiles are, and it might still be the case that the necromancer tile was explored enough so that the ability to see the Puzzled Spirit was activated. If this is the case, then merely some degree of exploration of the necromancer tile is all that is required to trigger it, and not the necromancer buff.
Cligdon 28 Dec, 2021 @ 7:07am 
I have just checked your guide, and perhaps read it more thoroughly than I should have done, since it is fully of spoilers. Knowing now where the necromancer is to be found, I should mention that I had explored the screen where the necromancer is in as far as my character was able to go, i.e. as far as the first hydra, and interacted with all the observatories which it could reach.
