I believe one of Xen grunts near the Pyramid sold those, you can check if they still hang out there?

It's both for new and some that just had placement or requirement changes.

Pretty sure you are missing the Tyranitar on the outskirts of the island, and i believe the one in the room behind the barrier which need admin access. Basement itself isnt hard to find if you just explore everything. And nope, nothing is done with this.

14.5 will be a thing according to NG+, 15 can potentially be a finale, very likely 16 too. Realistic answer - yes it will rework earlier areas. It does it with every version pretty much despite Jan often saying "yeah i'm done with that part and wanna focus on future content". Considering what plot does now even more so.

You need to get 6 Mega stones from big boys around the island, then put them into the basement door and watch the video there. It will put you on the way of the whole Whistleblower quest.

Yeah i found it, thank you very much. I am just used to go into Rejuvenation saves by a shortcut by this point. Downfall by convenience.

Understood, can you please direct me to where i can find Shared PC save file? It's not in the Rejuvenation save folder, or at least i don't see it there. Where it should be?

I had an unfortunate power outage while playing and it corrupted something fierce, the criminal is clearly the Shared Box in this case, if i delete SharedPC it works properly again, but if i try to bring SharedPC back it just gives me this on every save file. Anything i can do about this? Edit: I tried redownloading game files and launching from those, reverting to older saves and replacing mod files with clean ones, nothing helped so far.

Same, i don't think they spawn at all. At least i haven't seen one at all despite going through half of the game by this point.

You need to interact with one of the panels in the room to reveal the door. Madelis teleporter is the closest one to it.

Yeah well have fun with renegade, there are just more questions all around. What's up with Zed and Lorna, what is Variya now and why she inserted Storm-9 as a virus inside the... simulation i guess? The entire Zenos question is up in the air now as well. What's up with those 2 superpowered criminals who just randomly entered the stage for no reason. Madame X reveal was, in my opinion, entirely dogshit and the worst part of the entire 10+ years of Rejuvenation. Disgustingly terrible. Unimaginably terrible decision about her. Both of them. Also there are a lot of early story points that are kinda just up in the air for now, like the entire prophecy thing which iirc still irrelevant, and considering we are by now going into the whole Karma-Kaine conflict and even above those Zed-Lorna-Variya issue and potentially even higher with Zenos, i don't see where this would even come into play. Maybe it was changed again, will see. After i finish NG++ run i plan to write something more comprehensive i guess, been 3 years since i played the game fully.

It kinda worked by loading backup save files, moral of the story is fiddle around with Shared Box after starting a new file i guess? Thanks for the help. Still, kind of a random issue to encounter. Edit: By worked i mean i managed to just transfer pokemon again from older save files, then rewrite with newer saves back again. Ass backwards solution but a solution nonetheless.

No, it was full of pokemon but it is now completely empty on all save files. There were no patches or anything between my uses of the box as well, literally put pokemon into Shared box, did tutorial and Oceana, picked started, and it's empty everywhere, on all save files.

I'm not sure what exactly happened here, but essentially my entire Shared Box just came out empty. So i finished all new content on both Paragon and Renegade routes, figured i might as well transfer some later mons for NG++ stuff to quicken the process, put some mons into Shared Box, it worked perfectly fine between other save files. Then i started a new file, went through prologue and Oceana, once i got my starter i checked and Shared Box was empty. It's the same if i check on other save files as well, the entire box is just empty. Which is a shame considering both my endgame parties for Renegade and Paragon were there. What can be the issue and is it fixable? I used the hello eisen and easyhms password if that helps. Edit: On one of the save files i used Shared Box is for some reason 45, on others it's 50, maybe because on one other save file box 45 was filled it just overwrote itself? I'm not sure how exactly it works.

I mean anything that comes in pairs seems fine for it. Solrock-Lunatone, Zangoose-Seviper, Nidoking-Nidoqueen, Nitmonlee-Hitmonchan, Meowstic of both genders, Froslass-Glalie, Elemental monkeys, some more meta picks like Alolan version with original one, Lucario-Zoroark, Mimikyu-Pikachu and stuff. A lot of options.

There is a reason for that. I agree. Even back years ago it felt like this issue was just glossed over, i don't need like an entire arc getting her feelings on it, but at least a small scene of letting out her emotions would be really good for the narrative. Ren got pretty much nothing in common with Fern, i don't agree even with surface level comparison personally, also obviously everything about how and what about Ren will be explained eventually.

Given by Mr. Luck outside of the Goldenleaf Gym, after beating Narcissa and doing the Bad Luck quest. In Carotos Mountain, in a locked area that requires the V.G.C.R. Key. In the Hidden Library’s west wing, accessed during the third part of its associated quest. In the area that contains Registeel, beyond a rift in space in the Axis Factory.

Personal opinion of a person with hundreds of JRPGs behind him, while i do like the theme it doesn't sound anything like a battle theme. The only battle theme it would fit is a Suikoden 2 situation where you are forced into a bitter fight with your best friend and no one wants it, which is very much not the case here, otherwise it sounds like a cutscene OST where someone dies or explains tragic backstory or something equally sad. I also don't think it particularly fits for the "end of the journey" dungeon as well since it generally needs to build anticipation and excitement for the final confrontation, not make you depressed. Personal advice, consider what state character are in in this point of time, what kind of emotions OST want to convey, what kind of feeling for this point you need to create for the player, also researching chord sequences that trigger certain emotional responses is a nice way to improve the OST too. Also just play a lot of games with great OSTs, hearing them and understanding why it works when you experience the moment really helps too.

Read development blog.

The whole narrative point of this section is to give our characters a slap and make them realise they are way out of their depth at this point, and they will not solve all their issues with just winning a pokemon battle (granted they kinda still do that, so this is a moot point, but still). Because you ARE still a poor boy that is saved by their friends. I believe this is exactly how it supposed to feel, it's a very bitter triumph and is barely one at all, and that is the point. Mount Valor though is probably the most "reborn" dungeon in the game and it kinda drags on for a bit too much for my taste, but it is what it is.

From what i understand that this whole thing is based on one single implication where she uses Master and Madame as if talking about one person. However when you pick renegade path, Kieran says "Clear and I fight for oblivion". Which you can interpret either as just them not bothering mentioning Madame X or their Master, or not including Madame X in this because she has other goals in mind. When we restored bad future she said "this was the outcome i was hoping to never see" (not exact wording), why would she care about it if she went for oblivion anyway. Why would she try and keep history a certain way if in the end she would plunge it all down the toilet and none of it would matter? Why would she "save us countless times because you are just too important for everything" as she said in Kugearen? She has a plan clearly so she doesn't NEED us for oblivion. Why would she gather negative energy or emotions or whatnot in Blacksteeple? Assuming she does gather it, maximum she can likely do with it is to cause Yveltal's extinction event, which is definitely not oblivion and nothing similar to what Kieran and Clear mean. Why would she need Archetype power for oblivion? Kieran and Clear do not, from what we can gather so far. Also there was a certain phrase that always interested me which she said on the boat in the bad future: "I realise and aware of the hardships i brought to you and many people". You could make an argument she was just tying to convince MC and Melia, but she never showed herself to be a liar or a deceiver, and the way she say it at least to me make it impossible to believe she has the same goal as Kieran, Clear and their Master, which is, well, oblivion. There is no reason to care about such things if her goal is just ultimate nothing, and she almost sound regretful that she has to cause harm to everyone. Overall from just a lot of circumstantial things i remember and some i do not currently remember i cannot agree in any way that Madame X and Clear+Kieran share an end goal. It is much more likely that their actual Master simply sent them to cooperate with Madame X and comply with her until they get what they actually want. And Madame X interest in Talon's fate annoys Clear simply because it doesn't align with their Master or their goals. No, the one to the right is with the hood and doesn't react to talking. I do not have a save file in this place so i just rewatched a video where a guy talk to every chess piece. This one says he is a descendant of Zed. I also want to point out their position on the board along all the pawns, i.e. grunts and such. I do not think anything Zed related is particularly relevant due to this. Overall i very strongly disagree that Kieran and Clear creator and Master and Madame X are the the same person. Especially if it's based on one Clear dialogue that indeed implies such, which could be just a writing slip up as well or awkward wording. I still think that every theory have their points toward and against every of the main candidates and we simply cannot prove anything definitively or with a reasonable degree for now.

I don't remember exactly but saying she owns Blacksteeple is a bit much, didn't Xen just squat there? Also again, she says "Father, i have lost...". If i remember right Geara (i assume it was him too) and Angie weren't aware of the Indriadification of themselves, it just negatively affected them. Assuming for a second Erin or Melia was Madame X, i cannot imagine any world where they would say "Fater, i have lost..." like they failed Indriad and they are ashamed and regret it, with possession or without. So no, i don't think there is any degree of real in that. I believe "hates Theolia" based on a single "How many times are you willing to put her through this!?" is a bit of a wishful thinking, but i would also like to present an option where she refers to Karma or even simply the player. Except she doesn't give a single shit about Kanon (which would be weird for Erin or Melia) and is doing it only so the history path would stay a certain way and the whole nuking Kugearen isn't in the cards. First of all it was made EXTREMELY contextually clear that Madame X is not their Master in any capacity and they are just working together temporarily. So any further speculations on Clear and Kieran being built by theolia siblings are built on false foundation. Yes, there is a different person than Madame X that built them. It's pretty much a fact. Second, as was established, Madame X is very interested in keeping history a certain way. So to me it seems like she is confused by his appearace and is watching him to make sure he doesn't screw up anything, sort of like with MC. This is all pure speculation, i believe it's more reasonable from writing perspective that it's foreshadowing and a clue to her identity rather than some extremely poor and misleading wording. Those words have been there for a LONG time and never were fixed or removed, it is much more likely that they have actual meaning in this version of the world and don't refer for random parallel world we don't know about. It would be disgustingly horrible writing and false Chekhov's gun and i have slightly more faith in Jan's writing abilities. So this phrase points either at Marianette or Nora, either works. Two options. First, Vivian actually stands at one end of the pokemon arena, implying she was next and owner just didn't get to it yet. Second, it's indeed possible that the owner readily defaced Nymiera and Anju, but couldn't bring him/herself to do it with Vivian. There is one person that comes to mind, but it's a stretch and wishful thinking on my part. No, it specifically said "existential age". Whether it means her soul age meaning Maria/Marianette hopped into her, or she was just being reborn in similar fashion to Aelita, it's very clearly not literal age. Also this is the "Descendant of Zed" one, i specifically went to character files for Zetta and pretty sure he doesn't look like this from any angle. I might be wrong here but i don't see it. So overall i personally didn't see a single confirmation to anything that wasn't said before, Erin is still a decently strong option but it got a lot of holes and in no possible way definitive. Just as other candidates. I'm afraid we will just have to wait for the next version, we have long reached the limit of what can be deduced about Madame X without going into wild unsubstantiated conspiracies.

I believe there is quite a lot of wishful thinking and confirmation bias in here and some things that simply were not the case, i might do a more detailed answer when i will be less sleepy and remember more. Just gonna put two points out for now. I might remember the date wrong, but wasnt 2017 also development of Where Love Lies? I don't remember exact year so correct me if i'm wrong. And if i remember it right could easily point at my favorite guess at Madame X identity. I just don't even i don't i cannot... Man.
