Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
It is not my idea that Heart Sacrament maybe non-corrupting. People wanted Velvet to reach lvl 4 in Heart lore to check since long ago. I am just pointing out that Cadance in kind of better position to do it. Luna shows us that grown up Alicorns can clear whole level in one action as we done... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Well as one example Cadance have both Grail and Heart. So if getting Heart Sacrament is corruption free option to befriend Mareinette, then Cadance would be able to do it easier than Velvet, -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
QM promised option for Velvet to chaperon Cadance with Mareinette, that I assume will be available going forward, thus allowing for further interaction with Mareinette . I would not be surprised if people choose to hover more near Cadance to keep her safe, than they would otherwise spend on... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
It is not very hopeful if plan takes into account failure too. Like let's dismiss best case scenario if you want to be more pessimistic. Basic case scenario is that Cadance delays Mareinette long enough. How much time you think it would take Mareinette to fully corrupt Cadence? I think 6 turns... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
As I mentioned before I prefer this option. Delegating is good. Lores are not all there is in the setting. Harmony is a thing too, and Flattershy defeated Colonel influence with it. Alicorns are even more in tune with Harmony. We also learning about Memory of Light which may give us more... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Getting an appreciation for pony flesh before ascending to Glory defeats the whole purpose, because why would you want pony eating god to rule you? Having multiple Wolf stains is already bad. If you are so convinced that Mareinette will fight us at the end, then allow her to sit more on Cadance... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Inconvenient. Still there are likely ways to learn more, or at least give Cadance some notes on what the deal with Mansus. What comes to mind so far: a) Velvet social action to speak with Mareinette about her history. Because perhaps we just need to ask? Probably can also use Mareinette... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
We have only four turns until Mareinette binding expire. At best. And I don't want to fight Mareinette, when the time runs out. We really don't need bonus boss at the ending. And at the same time I am not interested in wooing Mareinette , as it includes invitation to dinner, and I am not... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
And this is why we need to allow Mareinette to continue her friendship with Cadance. At the end of it Cadance chances not to become cannibal are honestly better than Velvet's. And her odds to redeem Mareinette probably better than ours too. Harmony Love magic and all that. Maybe there is ritual... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
So I had a thought. We can't befriend Mareinette via Heart sacrament due to to our low Heart. But Cadance can. She is both Grail and Heart after all. She have more potential ways to befriend Mareinette than us. :V Is this citation from somewhere? Because Sacrament option itself only mentions... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
So consequence of the vote is Mareinette clock ticking faster if we don't give her access to Cadance? A bit unexpected but still managable. We know that Mareinette offers eating ponies after fourth level of Grail. I still think that Cadance would be able to refuse, and we can interfere at any... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Basically yes. Although with Harmony our best bet was repairing Friendship laser and we don't have any replacement for Twilight at the moment. So Glory still seems more doable. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Well, we still don't know Mareinette backstory. We only got a barest glint of it when she gave us Ruby Necklace. And remember that Crime of the Sky was/is? actual thing in this setting, and as such we can't tell how much it affected/ still affects? Mareinette actions. Plus she undoubtedly still... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
She also would be near Celestia . Who already knows what to do with pretenders on her throne. Not much better for Mareinette . Remember that breaking on her own takes from Mareinette tons of health, and potentially would not allow her to hold disguise for a moment. As for Cadance I think you... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
When we get Juicer (for squeezing Discord blood) we can allow Cadence to borrow it. I bet it is very high level Forge artifact. Perhaps even highest level one. Also I hope that Rarity is capable of teaching Cadance, as it would really free our hoofs. She already stays close to our home all... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
But Mareinette option is the one where Cadance confess her love for Velvet. Or at least tries to before passing out. :V Plus we wanted to do Forge Redemption as a way to later teach lores to Cadance, so she can then work on repairing Twilight horn. It was only means to show her that Lores are... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
This is some wild headcannon, but again you are speaking about passages, when I only remember a single official snippet about Wolf Ending, so perhaps I missed something. Are you sure that the rest are not just omakes? On the other hand if we are speaking about the same segment, then it does not... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Ritual that Celestia herself does not know? Entirely possible. But then would not she be interested in learning it? Or delegate study of it to her scientists? It is big breakthrough in unicorn medicine after all. On the other hoof Grail Lore could be simply learned via night of heavy drinking... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Not much reason to believe so. It defeats purpose of the action after all. Basically 180 on the current Velvet motivations. With such mindset we can as well decide that ascension to Glory would make Velvet stop caring about mere mortals. And reaching Harmony would brainwash Velvet into pursuing... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I am quite sure that Glory going dark is Wolf option. And her daughters would be safe too, as Wolf's spawns don't touch what Velvet holds dear. Thus is quite clearly the safest option (less risk to die trying to accomplish it). As such Velvet not going straight for the Wolf ending indicates that...
