Angela - Separation |
] |
I both completely love, and yet HATE WITH A BURNING PASSION, Sega and PSU right now.
With the most recent update, Ethan and Karen's partner cards became available. Okay, fine, good...only, the way to get Karen's card is - if I may quote TV Tropes - an utterly frustrating case of Guide Dang It. I am very thankful for the PSUpedia, as it details every little thing you need to do (I really feel sorry for whoever had to figure this all out!), but it's still just...gah. It does, however, unlock some wonderful new story bits that actually tie up some of the loose ends in the plot, so good for Sega.
...I also think this is the way to get Karen's card early, as opposed to waiting for the last two story missions to come out, but hey, you don't see me refusing it.
Anyway, what makes it such a Guide Dang It ordeal, you ask? Well, have a look at what you have to do.
- Clear all Episode 2 story missions. Progress to Episode 3.
- Clear Chapter 4 (Farewell to Mother), then return to clear part 1 of Chapter 1 (Despair and Hope) with an S-rank result. This will unlock an event after the trial in which a deactivated Lou unit is found in the rubble of Old Rozenom City.
- Clear Chapter 5 (Ambition's End), then return to clear part 2 of Chapter 3 (Will of Light) with an S-rank result. This will unlock a new conversation between Ethan and Lumia after the trial.
- Watch the discovery of the deactivated Lou unit after Despair and Hope 1, then return to clear part 1 of Farewell to Mother with an S-rank result. This will unlock a new choice before the trial in part 2 that allows you to take Lou with you to destroy Mother Brain.
- Watch the conversation between Ethan and Lumia at the end of Will of Light 2, clear Farewell to Mother 2 with Lou in the party, then return to clear part 2 of Ambition's End. This will change the ending event of the chapter, more strongly depending on the rank you clear the trial with. (I cleared it with a B-rank and the event changed to save, rather than kill, Ethan and Lumia's father; I think that's the default change, and the only thing the rank affects is the conversation.)
- Watch the new ending to Ambition's End 2, then clear part 1 of Chapter 6 (Photon Harvesting) with an S-rank. This will unlock a new choice after the trial that allows you to listen in on a conversation between Ethan and Karen.
- Watch the conversation event in Photon Harvesting 1, then clear part 2 to receive Karen's partner card.
...I have yet to get the conversation event, to be honest. BOOYAKA. Event get, card get, mutter grumble darn Karen why do you have to be so difficult. Also, that event was seriously gagworthy in its...lovey-dovey-ness. Ech.
At least I got the card. Now to work on Tylor's.
