    I wouldn’t recommend uploading anything to anonfiles I can never download anything from it and I know lots of other people have same problem with that site so might want to use a different site as back up.

    Once again with the lack of H scene dialog translation on the demo huh 🙁 Oh well, looking forward to the 33% in a “few” months from now.

    • Anonymous

      Sure are whining a bit for not doing it yourself. I’d say the gameplay engine, and even the main story beyond that, is just a tad more important than the specific text of any given h-scene.

      • Anonymous

        Yeah, for h-scenes I more or less have an idea of what they’re probably saying and what’s going on.

        For gameplay stuff, it’s a real pain figuring out what the abilities are and what skills do when you can’t read it. :/

  3. Thanks for the translation by the way I’m surprised that the first loli llias wasn’t translated did you forget or didn’t think it was a big deal? not that it really matters.

    While trying to apply the patch I got a “wrong version” error.
    Do I need to get the latest TT patch for this to work?

  5. Lying too your face

    I’m getting a wrong version error when I try to apply the patch. I know I have the 1.02 version of the game it says so when I open it.

    • Anonymous

      It does that, the manual patch would be nicer as it seems you have to do a clean install every time making updates less updates and more like new releases… Delete paradox game folder, fresh clean copy of game 1.02 to paradox game folder, apply patch… It would also be nice if the program mentioned what is was doing and why it thought it failed a version check around 50% in; Besides that thank you Dargoth and team!

  6. Anonymous

    Dargoth The patch works if you have v1.02.01 version with the patch release Torotoro or has to be just version v1.02?

    Can anyone tell me if it’s only me or is the part just before the camping (just as you approuch illiasburg) untraslated, while in the camp it’s translated

  8. Autismo

    I’m just waiting for the “talk” skill interactions to be done, even though it’s probably going to be the last thing to be translated.

    try as i might i can seem to patch the game even with a clean 1.02 version of the game it always say that i have the wrong version and stops at 49%

      • Anonymous

        nope still not working and now i’m getting a system out of memory exception error on top of that….. just my freaking luck.

      • Yeah sorry about that. The patching process is still a work in progress and needs more optimizations. We’ll improve it and offer some alternatives in the future. For now, reboot your system and close other programs to free up memory – the patcher can easily eat up 2 gigs while it works. As for having the wrong version, it’s probably something stupid like a text file that doesn’t belong in one of the directories. You may think you have a clean version, but try downloading a new one anyway. I had the same problem myself.

  10. CMrC

    Dargoth you are our hero, sincerely thanks for your hard work.

    Btw i didn’t read the unfortunate mermaid innate skill before. I clapped to that while laughing my lungs out.

  11. Not Gilgamesh

    I guess I have to ask…Where do I download the 1.02a? otherwise I am going to have to just wait till Dargoth releases the 1.1 patch.

    • Desert Eagle

      I’m not sure I understand? The download link’s right there. It’s the translation patch meant for game version 1.02.

  12. Anonymous

    I have found a few places so far that are missing translations (Demo Content), I don’t know which ones are intentionally left out for this patch or not but I will list what I found.
    -A few lines when meeting tiny Ilias for the first time
    -A few lines when setting up camp for the first time outside Iliasburg
    -All battle related speech (Including the Talk skill)
    -A couple of skills such as Sweet Worm (Mimi) and Flail Wildly (Luka)
    -The text explaining the skill Dissolving Liquid overlap and makes it barley readable.
    -The skull symbol status effects in the Status Resist screen

    Thats what I could find that I know where part of the demo 🙂

    • sazaju

      I think they speak about the 1.02 complete version. Not sure the trial has been updated consequently nor will be in the future.

  13. Anonymous

    I’ve seen that the game has some errors, just like when I’m defeated by the centaurs from the north and when I select the Skills or the Configuration on the Menu for example. When I do one of them the game crashes and closes automatically. That’s unfair!

    hi. ive bought the game from the dl site. appears when the game is extracted i get a “file corrupted. run virus check and reinstall” anyone else getting this?

    • Anonymous

      You get that error when the folder has Japanese characters in it. You can fix it by renaming the folder, or running the game in a different locale.

  15. Desert Eagle

    Is there a job that lets you learn “Dark” abilities? Does “Spiritualist” learn any of those? I’d like to make one of my team members learn a job that lets you use Dark abilities.

  16. sazaju

    Dargoth, it could be nice to release a zip of the maps in parallel of your patch. This way, people who fail using your patch can learn a bit more to extract the maps and just replace them with yours.

  17. Lying too your face

    damn wish i never deleted the decrypter I had, cant get to ulmf.org to redownload it and every other decrypter links to a download that no longer exists >.<

  18. differentrbowser

    opening the game as administrator gets me pass the file corrupt message, since replacing the ‘corrupted’ files from a different download of the game didnt do a thing

      • cool. I am translating a few RPG maker games myself. I don’t really know how to do the other methods other than actually having RPG maker and doing the grunt work and I haven’t found the other methods practical for me yet. Well if you feel like sharing an in depth step by step method that would be nice. With pictures helps too.

    Hey guys I have question about the game, I was reading other people’s experience with the game and a lot of them talked about fighting the reaper. Can somebody tell where I need to go or what I need to do to fight her, cause I walked all over the place and have no idea what to do.

  20. Anonymous

    Dargoth, thanks for the alternative method, the patcher gave me an error but the old method works very well and now the game run translated and without error, thank you very much ^^

      • Yep I know but there’s something else I wanna ask, there’s a grayed out entry in my monster book right under the Mimic entry, I assume that monster beat me up and I haven’t encountered it since? Is it Nagael and if it is can she be recruited? Or beaten.

      • Grandork

        Sorry, I’m not pushing forward with the story without Dargoth’s translation, thus Mimic is the strongest monster I’ve killed, nothing under it.

        Also, if you have trouble Recruiting, you should really level up Hunter on Luka in order to get 1.5x Recruit.

      • Believe it or not I already mastered all of Luka’s basic jobs and I did go for the 2x Recruit skill from Demon Hunter and mastered the class as well. The only monster I’m having trouble with so far is the Spider Girl, but I’m not sure if I was using the 2x or 1.5 Recruit ability when I tried to recruit her. I kinda gave up and started stealing panties. No idea what they’re good for but what the hell I have to do something till the full translation is ready or till Part 2 comes out.

      • Grandork

        It’s just luck, I recruited her after the third battle, yet took me over 30 battles to recruit the Catfish.

    • Anonymous

      no, the way you beat monsters doesnt affect their chance of recruitment, you just have to beat them over and over again until they join you. Some just take longer then others.

  21. Arj

    Stupid question here! If I have a Special Ability such as Encounter Double on one of my party members, but not the 4 Active members, just one of the 4 reserve members, does it still work, or do they need to be one of the 4 Active?

      • Civildeviation

        One difference is that only members in the active party get the +1 affection per battle. Luka does not need to be in the active party for this to occur. It can make getting the scenes for some of the particularly picky members easy to access.

  22. meanderingNekomata

    I don’t mean to pressure you or anything but I wanted to let you know that there is indeed at least 1 person (me) still interested in Sei Monmusu Gakuen (Likely many more people as well) and likely will be on into 2016. Whenever you get around to it, know that I look forward to it and think that you’re doing a good job all things and potential circumstances considered. I know how frustrating it can be to make less progress than initially planned on something and just wanted to offer my support. I wish you good luck in the MGQ Paradox translation and appreciate what you’ve done with it so far.

    • Grandork

      Unfortunately, Paradox will eat all of his time. Once he finishes Part 1, Part 2 will most likely be almost out.

      • meanderingNekomata

        I know, just as part 1 is doing for me and I look forward to part 2 as well. But as for Sei Monmusu Gakuen I’ve already been waiting for someone to translate it for over a year and just knowing that it will be translated eventually is a relief. Also knowing myself I’ll probably play through MGQ Paradox it all over again once the english patch is out which should take a while considering I like to try to get everything. Plus I’ll be playing part 2 after that and I also have plenty of other irons in the fire to attend to in the time between games.

    The translation for Eva’s innate ability has confirmed for me that she is the ultimate support character

    • Grandork

      Mary is the best Tank also imo. 25% Counter, targeted 75% of the times. My only problem is that skills are so OP that anything else is pointless.

      • Civildeviation

        The language “Targeted 75% as often by enemies” is rather confusing for me. 25% more often or 25% less often would be more clear.

      • Grandork

        @Kurobane It’s not a question of Difficulty. Skills just deal too much damage and you can make a build that uses SP and MP, allowing you to spam skills the whole battle.

    • Anonymous

      Civil, that’s just how the abilities were written originally. Better to translate rather than try to “fix” the wording to fit with an arbitrary feeling for what is more/less intuitive. The elemental resistances are the same where “Lightning 75%” means you take 75% as much Lightning damage, ie 25% less. And the same for the SP/MP cost reducers.

      This actually factors in with how innate %s will stack with Ability %s, they’re multiplied together. So if you have a 150% weakness to an element, and get a 75% damage passive, it ends up around 112%, which is 150% x 75%. Less math than 150% – (150%x25%).

      It’s a preference and different people will find different methods of math more/less clear than others.

      • Civildeviation

        I agree that phrasing is more or less intuitive for each person, so by no means does my preference speak for anyone but myself even if I wish it did. :-).

        That said, I disagree on how to translate. A skilled translator in my book uses knowledge of both nuance and actual definition in both languages to produce something new but accurate to the intent of the original author. Had Rogue simply stated “cute” for every time kawai was used in the original MQG it would have come across as dull and repetitive imo.

        As for OP abilities and characters, finding them is fun, spamming them kinda takes the enjoyment out. That said, game balance with so many characters and abilities is a beast of a task and I am not sure that game-balance is Torotoro’s highest priority. We may just have to *deal* or wait for modders.

  24. Mokou

    First if all, great job and thank you for doing this dargoth we all apreciate

    Next, how do you recluit queen harpy or chrome? if anyone knows please tell me

    • Anonymous

      Don’t think you can get the queen harpy yet; Chrome is a quest, detailed better in a previous post but go to her mansion, beat everything up, and she should join your party

      • Anonymous

        That’s to unlock Spiritualist from the mimic in the mansion. To recruit Chrome, you have to get an item from the cave leading to the tower between San Ilia and Sabasa.

  25. Hey Dargoth found a bug in the house west of the general store in luka village when you try to talk to her she bugs out and nothing happens she was working before this patch so it’s ever this patch or because I meet the white rabbit.

    I have a bug where the picture of Amira is shown all the time in the middle of the screen but no conversation with her. I can move around but entering a different map or save and quit won’t help. Please don’t say i messed up my savefile?

      (Same dude here) I assume I cannot advance in the story, because the speech of amira won’t show up if I talk to her. As far as I know she has to join my party, so that I can continue the game. I did not make any backups from my savefile. Is there any way to fix this bug?

    Hey I found a bug, when you ask about synthesis to the blacksmith in Illias Village his portrait changes momentarily to the dragon pup’s one. It’s not really that big of a deal but I thought I should report it.

      • That one is almost definitely my fault, not Torotoro’s. Little things like that is what made copy-pasting from the demo to the release version a nightmare. I’m sure I copied the portrait numbering that was used in the demo and didn’t correct it for the release.

  33. JustaFan

    Ok im done with the story. Only things left are Nanabi, Sphinx, Death Reaper and the Phoenix. Last one i cant get because my quest bugged like it looked. As i entered the city i examinine everything in the house nearby the quest house. Then i talked with everyone in the city. After that i leaved the city and continued with the story. Now that im done with the Story and i found the walkthrough for this quest i tried to complete it. But even if i make all steps i cant get the password from the hooded guy in the pub, get no talk threads with the girl in the Tent near the Inn and dont get the key from the green cloaked guy in the Inn. Cann someone say me if i did something wrong or do i really have somehow bugged my quest because i didnt finished it the first time?

    • Desert Eagle

      I can’t remember every step of that quest well; I remember only that I didn’t have any problems with it. That was during ver 1.00 though.

      I’m not sure what to tell you, considering you have a walkthrough. You enter town, you investigate the huge influx of phoenix feathers and snoop everywhere. A house has to be investigated and some phoenix feathers may have to be bought there.

      • JustaFan

        Well the Walkthrough says:
        1) Go to the House near the locked Warehouse and investigate anything in it.
        2) Go to the Tent near the Inn and Talk with girl inside (looks like the special BF which is the only one i still miss because i cant complete the phoenix quest and so she is still part of the quest and dont want a contest).
        3) Go to the Pub and talk with the hooded guy on the very end of the bar. You should get the option to pay him for a password.
        4) Go back to the girl in the Tent near the Inn and exhaust every dialoge with her.
        5) Go to the Warehouse and try the door again to see a scence.
        6)make your way back to the pub and speak with the man in the green cloak sitting at the bar to receive the key.
        After that you can go in the house, examinine the jar in the middle cell, fight then the phoenix and recruit her. And with that the quest is done and you have the phoenix. I can examinine everything in the house, can talk with the girl but cant buy a password from the hooded guy. So i have no speech options with the girl and i cant see the scene or get the key for the House. Is anything wrong with the walkthrough of the quest? Do i need to make other things?

      • Desert Eagle

        Mmmhhh… Everything sounds about right. There is a black hooded man in the bar, and he should sell you the password. The man in the green cloak is a thief whom you can hire to steal that key for you.

        The woman you mentioned is called Don Dahlia, by the way. She’s the leader figure of the town and also the one running the phoenix feather business. Everybody’s really careful around her; If someone crosses paths with her, they mysteriously meet with an… accident. And yes, she’s a BF opponent too. After the mini-quest, she sells tickets that let you have a BF with her.

        Try searching the house again. Also, try searching and interacting with other stuff around the town as well. I have a faint memory that there were several things to discover around the town. The usual RPG approach: “If you can’t progress, interact with everything.”

        Your problem might also be solved by updating to ver 1.03 (or going back to 1.00). You create a new directory for that version and leave it untranslated. You then copy your save files and put them in that directory (Create a backup for them too!). Then try completing the quest. When you’re done, you can copy that save file back to the translated 1.02 version and then continue your adventure. Again, it’s good to create a backup for your saves in case something goes wrong.

      • JustaFan

        Ok will try that. Have at the moment a lot to do with leveling jobs and races. By the way. It is possible to fight the reaper right? And if you win will she join you? And another question is how to fight alice in her older form. Saw it on the save game from another guy that i could re fight her. And if you can fight her how? I mean she has 60k Life and her other attributes are very high too.

      • Desert Eagle

        Umm, I have no idea. I’ve never encountered Alice in her adult form – in MGQ Paradox, that is. That might be because I chose Alice as my companion instead of Ilias.

      • JustaFan

        Hmm yeahh the guy from the save took Illias. Maybe that means people who choose Alice can fight Illias in her adult form. Hmm but that wouldnt fit. Illias adult Form should be too powerfull to get beaten by any Part 1 Group. Even if you have the best Equip and all Jobs/races from Part 1 mastered.

    Seems that 1.03 is out, Is there any way to downgrade to 1.02? Or is there a possibility that the 1.02 translation patch is also compatible with 1.03?

      • Well that’s the part I suck at, I didn’t even manage to figure out how to get Sara to stop raping me or how to turn in the crystal ore guess I’ll just have to wait and see if someone figures it out.

      • Anonymous

        For Sara, you have to enter the locked house in Sabasa by talking to one of the guards in the tavern. Then, go to the oasis northeast of Sabasa, then the pyramid west of Sabasa. Turning in the crystal requires at least finishing the Sara mission.

      • Grandork

        Casian, the trick here is to be patient and wait for Dargoth to finish translation. I guarantee that it will go much more smoothly.

      • Yep I understand waiting is imperative to inderstand the whole plot but I’m trying to get to learn mechanics weaknesses etc so I can have a smooth play through when the translation is finally out. Thanks Anonymus for the pointers.

      Those jobs are available, but only on certain characters. The 3 Kitsunes can become Tao Swordsman (above Overpowering Fist), Taoist (below Summoner), and Ninja (below Master Thief). The Minotaur can become a Berserker (below Power Fighter). The items to allow others to change into these jobs do not appear to be in part 1.

    • Pyro

      You can’t at this point — unless it was added in 1.03. From what people are saying Sphinx and Harpy Queen aren’t recruit-able in this part.

    • Desert Eagle

      Yeah, I don’t think it’s possible to make Harpy Queen your companion in part 1.

      Before she can join you, you must first cure her of the sickness that affected harpies. The fruit you had helped you cure most of the harpies but it wasn’t enough for Harpy Queen. Being a queen, she is much, much more powerful than her underlings, and thus she requires a bigger dosage of the cure.

      So, in order to cure her, we need to acquire another one of those fruits. Supposedly they grow on an island somewhere (I think it’s an island of alraunes). Not only do we have to find a way to sail there but we must also be able to deal with some monster (vampire?) that has decided to reside there.

      None of that is possible in part 1. Part 2, maybe? I feel really bad for Harpy Queen, and I want to cure her as fast as possible.

    • Desert Eagle

      Not really. If you side with Lily, she will join you. If you side with Lucia, she will join you instead.

      I chose Lily, by the way.

    Does anyone know the actual method for unlocking “Character Book” CG? I’ve gotten it on a few characters, but others don’t seem to unlock…

    • Pyro

      You need to raise your affection level with them by having them in your active combat group, once you raise it to certain levels “usually 10 for the lowest one” open the pocket castle and remove them from the party then talk to them and make the request. This will present you with the scenes and open up in the Character Library pages.

    • Pyro

      oops 2nd reply since I was asleep last night when I replied apparently. You can give them gifts while in the pocket castle as well to raise affection levels “Don’t know how well this works though”

      • machinaforce

        Yea you want to have someone as a chef or three start chef every monster likes a certain dish but be warned most of them will require you to be high level chef

    So, I managed to farm 27 small medals. I got them after killing- Sorry, defeating a total of 350 Mimics and Honey Pots. That’s roughly 7,7% drop rate, and it includes the 2x Drop Rate -ability for the most part. All of my characters (except Alice) have mastered all of their races.

    With 27 small medals, I had a total of 45 small medals. I used them to recruit Medal Queen. It worked; She’s now my companion.

    Unfortunately, she doesn’t have any H-scenes. At least not in part 1.

    • Desert would you mind sharing your tactic for killing the Honey pots, what skills do you use and can you kill it in 1 round? I can only kill them in 2 rounds using Purifying Light with luka and Promestein Vanilla’s cape drain move and one of the imp’s succubus rape I guess(can’t read japanese)

      • Desert Eagle

        I’m not sure if my tactic will be efficient for you. Ever since I began my game, I’ve been playing on Hell mode. Honey Pots are a considerable threat on that difficulty level so I adjusted my tactic to be as smooth and safe as possible. I could have lowered the difficulty but I just decided to roll with it.

        In my usual group setup, there’s 1) Luka, 2) Someone who can inflict Blind, 3) Someone who can cast All Enhance Guard, & 4) Someone who can heal the entire group.

        Honey Pots and Mimics are considered as Ghost type monsters. If you have Ghost Slayer abilities, it might be a good idea to activate them. Their greatest weakness are Holy attacks but natural elements (earth, water, wind) work as well.

        I begin combat with “Blind”, “All Enhance Guard” and a group heal (e.x Mega Heal All). Most of Honey Pot’s attacks will miss, including the stun, when she’s blinded. Usually, Honey Pot takes the first move which is why I have someone cast group heal – to heal the damage immediately. “All Enhance Guard” will halve all damage Honey Pot does to you. I refresh “All Enhance Guard” on the 3rd turn after I cast it, before it expires.

        In the meanwhile, Luka begins combat by casting Magic Sword technique “Spellblade Holy” (gained from Valkyrie race). After that, I have Luka focus entirely on spamming Heroism skill 不死斬 (“Undead Slaying”; My poor attempt at translation). Combined with Spellblade Holy, it will deal some serious damage at a low SP cost. Or you could just spam 不死斬 from the beginning.

        Also, Honey Pot can sometimes be inflicted with stun and bind. If one of you active party members has the accessory “あやしい宝箱 / Surprise Box(?)” equipped (obtained from Mimic at 2000 affection rating), you get a chance of stunning you opponent(s) at the start of combat. If you managed to stun Honey Pot with it, the battle will go A LOT smoother.

        Sorry. That was pretty long.

      • That’s ok I love detailed stuff, since I’m only on normal difficulty I won’t need to go all out on defense or healing I do use blind as well but thanks for pointing out she’s a ghost and that skill. But you know something pissed me off really bad about this mob, Merchant gets a skill that does 3k damage for 500 gold honey pot doesn’t get damaged by this for some reason. Thanks for the pointers.

      • Desert Eagle

        Hahah! I know. I tried throwing money at it too. But when you stop and think about it, Mimic and Honey Pot take the forms of treasure containers: chest and pot. Why would “treasure” harm a treasure container? 😛

      • Oh yea I figured it out, that skill does damage by the formula Lvl X 100 so max damage it can do in this part is 3k which I have to say is pretty good for the most part

    • Anonymous

      How do you farm those mimic and honey pot ? Do they appear somewhere as random encounter ? So far I only found those searching pot and chest but I don’t remember seeing 350 of them.

      I think you missed a lot of medals in your playthorug, there should be areound 40 that you can find hidden in drawres, wardrobe, pots, etc…
      I think i got 51 of them, with 6 from amira’s first 3 gift and about 3 from mimic/pot girls drops

      • Desert Eagle

        I didn’t miss them. I just spent those medals on Noble and Lord/Pope job items.Sorry I didn’t mention it.

      • You don’t have to have any of the slug girls in your party, just the slug medal in your inventory. I read somewhere around here that the slug medal is proof that Luka can coexist with the slug race and that’s why the slug queen will join

      • JustaFan

        Alright it worked. So i have all monsters with exception of Phoenix (looks like it is a little bugy by me. More about that a little bit higher), the reaper (if she is recruitable) and Alice in her older form. But i dont think that she will be recruitable because you already have the little alice. By the way for me it looks like the Tier 3 Jobs/races are not available in the first part. For everyone of them you need a Item which is not included in the first part.

    Hey Dargoth, could you please check Technical Magi (Talent in the Magic Group)? Either it doesn’t work in the game, or the translation broke it, because it does not work as intended ;_;

    It says “Causes Black Magic, Time Magic, Summoning and Demon Arts skills to use Dexterity in place of Magic”. Made a test with 70 Int and 140 Dex, did 300 dmg with Mega Fire and Fire Waltz, changed it to 120 Int and 90 Dex, was doing over 600 dmg on both.

      • Grandork

        Thanks, one more thing, how hard is it look at what Race and Jobs give per Level? I would like to make a Guide, with what everything gives, in order to help people to make a build.

      • JustaFan

        How do you mean that? Do you mean what attributes they give? If you want to know that i think no one can answer you that. All Jobs/Races gave you a persent raise or lowering of the basic attributes of all the chars. To exactly know what they give you, you would need to know what are the base attributes of all the chars and i dont know if there is a way to do this. If you mean what abilities and attacks the jobs and races gave with which level it would be hard to gave an answer. If there is no official guide about it you would need to level all the jobs and races and write down on which lvl you get which attack or abilitie.

      • Grandork

        @JustaFan Lol, how did you get so confused with what I said? XD

        Anyway, what I meant is what Talents and Skills it gives per level. And no, I don’t plan on leveling all jobs and races and writing it down. What I wanted to know is how hard is it to look at the data through RPG Maker. That’s something Dargoth would know.

      • Grandork you should have said something earlier. I would have written them down for you since I have all my basic jobs mastered and plan to master every unlocked intermediate job as well.

    • JustaFan

      Ahh wasnt that confused. Hmm ok Dargoth maybe know that. Or is able to find it out. But i dont think that he can tell you. Many Tier 2 Jobs and races are not translated yet. So he would need to translate them first. But if you want i can tell you. At the moment i try to level all races/jobs on Luca. Alice, Sonia, Promenstein, Brundhilfe, Sylph, Gnome and Chrome. So if you want to know about a specific jobs race that i dont did until now i can write them down for you. Depending on the time i have daily i could tell you 3-4 jobs and maybe 1-2 races.

      • Grandork

        Sure, but it may be quite annoying for you to level everything. There are a LOT of Races and Jobs, plus you have to pay attention to when you level, so you can see what it gives, you can’t just hold A and go grinding like crazy.

      • JustaFan

        Well like i said. I Plan to master every Job and Race with some chars. I bet it will be helpfull in Part 2 if you have all jobs and races mastered with luca and maybe other chars you will keep. So just gave me 3-4 jobs and 1-2 races. If i dont have mastered them yet i will do it within in the days and write down what you get with which lvl. But will be tough if abilities and skills appears that are not translated.

      • Grandork

        Let’s just wait on the next patch by Dargoth, I’m sure it will cover most, if not all, of Combat. I’m also going to wait for Dargoth to answer. If it’s not that hard to Decrypt the game and open it up in the RPG Maker, thus allowing me to see inside the data what you get per level, I will just go through there. Just hoping Dargoth will actually look at this comment again, since he is really busy XD

  39. JustaFan

    Hey guys. I level jobs and races at the moment. And i found out that the Demon Trainer has a nice attack. If you use Monster Servant a random Monster appears that makes one of his attacks. But the best is there are even monsters that are not included in part one. So far i got Centaur and Alraune from the very beginning from Monster girl Quest 2 and an unknown red skined Oni/Orc with a giant club.

    • I honestly doubt that any attack could be stronger than Purifying light at this point in the game but I may be wrong For me Purifying light deals 4.2k damage per hit I haven’t found anything stronger yet and I did master demon trainer the attacks are mediocre. And if it’s based on luck I wouldn’t call it a reliable source of damage. What was reliable for me at least were the whip attacks paired with expel strike 2 binding whips were almost always enough to wipe out an entire party.

      • Anonymous

        I think that he wasn’t talking about the damage of the attack but that it can summon monsters that aren’t in the game yet.

      • JustaFan

        Thats right. But the red skined orge/orc did make 2k damage to two enemys. Ok there are better attacks for sure. But i think for only 1 SP its not that bad. Maybe you can even get attacks from High lvl Monsters like Granberia or so in the later parts. I only think its interesting that there are Monsters who are not in the game. And this red skined Oni/orc monster i didnt even saw before in any game. Ok it isnt that nice. It has more muscles then a bodybuilder. XD

  40. Incubusknight

    Hmm patch notes also seem to make mention of another update after 1.03.

    “The next update will be a big thing.

    As a time, and we plan to April mid-late.” -torotoro

  41. Desert Eagle

    Have you been training your team in a lot of jobs and races? Is your swordsman plagued by useless boomerang techniques? Are there other skills that are just uselessly taking space in your combat menu?

    I realized a little while ago that it’s possible to hide some of your skills in battle. When you’re out of combat, go to your party menu and skills. There, by pressing SHIFT, you can mark your skills to be hidden in combat. It’s actually translated in there (“1: Hide in Combat”) but I never noticed it until now.

  42. shotgun2010

    They updated the main game again on April 01 over on DL Site, assuming the patch won’t work with it again.

  43. Silly question, how do you steal materials? Cook steals food and I found a skill inder Special that steals panties but I can’t find the one that steals materials anyone know?

  44. Grandork

    Anyone know if there’s a way to give more than 1 present at a time? Getting to 2k giving +3 Happiness presents takes close to 10 minutes -.-

    • Well you could try cooked foods, some of them give even 20+ or you could just mash z and a alternatively z cancels the monster girl’s comment

      • Grandork

        Still don’t have Cook, since I won’t advance the story without translation. This sucks =(, +20 would help XD

      • Desert Eagle

        Nope. If you want to cook, you have to use it as a combat ability.

        I advise you not to make lowest tier foods just for variety. Higher tier foods can give 40, 60, 90 or 105 affinity rating. Depending on the person, of course. The highest I’ve recorded is 150 which is from inarizushi, stolen (Steal Food) from silver two-tailed foxes.

      • Grandork

        Hm… So that means leveling Cook to a respectable level and also being lucky that they actually want the food.

      • Anonymous

        Or just having a Harpy steal inarizushi from the silver kitsune for the ones that like that. There is at least one other food that generally gives more than it, but inarizushi seems to be the best renewable food.

      • Desert Eagle

        New record. Hild is crazy about Barbequed Chicken and Sashimi. Each gives 195 affinity rating for her. Normally those foods give 27…

    I have a question does anyone know what skill you use for the stolen materials you can find it in the enemies section it looks like this
    – Dropped Items

    – Stolen Items

    – Stolen Ingredients

    – Stolen Materials <—- This section still has ???? on all monsters because I haven't found the skill to get this item yet.

    – Stolen Panties

      • Anonymous

        That seems to be the case. I have a harpy without any thief levels. It has an ability 素材を盗む under thief, which steals materials. It also has one for food, and one that steals normal items from a random opponent 4 times.

      • Anonymous

        Thank you for telling me that never considered it would be from harpy but thinking back it was kind of obvious when you talk to the one harpy in the Ilias temple she did say harpies learn thief skills that no others learn guess I should of used my brain more. Would have never found it because I am still using Lime because I just like the irony of taking weakest monster of most rpgs a slime and turn her into a boss killer makes me lol.

      • deuxvolt

        Nice way to be a jerk, are you that much of an ass to shun someone for asking about a progression report like how Rogue did so people could have a ETA of the next patch or the full patch? Dargoth obviously doesn’t have to do it but it’s a simple question you didnt have to be rude with.

  46. Anonymous

    I have a couple questions.

    1) Is it possible to recruit every monster girl in the game, or are some unrecruitable? I’ve had trouble getting some to join me.

    2) Is it possible to customize your menu or to have it stick to a previous decision? It sucks having to press down six times to cast the same skill. 😛

    • Pyro

      General consensus on girls you can’t recruit…
      Sphinx
      Harpy Queen
      Grim Reaper — Maybe, haven’t seen much about her not being recruit-able or being able to be recruited.

      Not sure on #2, not playing on a hard difficulty until the game is fully translated.

    • Anonymous

      You can’t have it stick to a certain skill category, but you can remove skill categories that you don’t want to use. From the main menu, pressing shift while highlighting a skill category will not display that category in combat for that character.

    • Desert Eagle

      Don’t forget Queen of the South Sea, Kraken. We’re carrying her in our key items, and we haven’t figured out a way to restore her in part 1.

    What happens, when you download the game and then apply the patch (which won’t work, due to version error) then realize you can’t downgrade since there isn’t a selection for it on the purchase… I’d called that a “you’re screwed moment” if any, because that’s where I am right now. Hopefully, next patch will come out at some point so I can play.

    How do you initiate the Lily quest and how do you finish the Sara questline after getting the Sphinx blood?

    • Desert Eagle

      The quest in Witch Hunt Village is triggered by finishing Sara quest.

      If you have Sphinx’s blood, go to Sabasa castle and march in the throne room (The guards don’t mind). Sara should be there. Demand that she drinks the blood and expect resistance.

      • Anonymous

        I tried going up there and the ‘translation’ says something about envoy from san ilias or something…won’t let me go up there.

        On topic of initiating things, how do you also initiate the ghost mansion quest? I can’t get up the stairs. Hard to figure out where to go when you can’t Japanese. 🙁

      • Desert Eagle

        Ah. You probably need to finish stuff in San Ilias first before you can advance Sara quest.

        Let me do a quick check list of things to do in Natalie area…

        1. Finding the missing people from Natalie Port – Go meet Queen of the South Sea
        2. Exploring the library of San Ilias castle
        3. Obtaining mithril from Mt. Amos to create Mithril equipment
        4. Escorting King of San Ilias in Ludait Village
        5. Exploring the haunted mansion
        6. Obtain the power of Sylph
        7. Getting information from criminal organization in Monte Carlo
        8. Investigating the appearance of a succubus in Monte Carlo (Need info first)
        9. Visiting the tower west of Monte Carlo on an errand
        10. Investigating Lubiana village
        11. Sabasa

        This is roughly the order of what I did in Natalie area. See if there’s something missing from between – maybe you can advance your quest(s) after you complete them.

        In the haunted mansion, you just have to go upstairs. There’s also a Mimic in there that gives a mini-quest. She wants you to visit every room and make them quiet again.

      • Desert Eagle

        Okay, I think that confirms it. You need to help King of San Ilias first before you can advance the story.

        And yeah, the name of Lazarus means a lot to the criminal organization in Monte Carlo. *hint, hint*

      • Anonymous

        Alright, I’ve gotten a bit farther. I’ve managed to complete the haunted house, but Monte Carlo I’m clueless on. I received the information from the guy for 110 gold but can’t enter the tent.

        I also went to Lubiana/Rubiana and went to the puppeteer’s tower, and that’s as far as I’ve
        gotten with that.

        Lastly, I beat Succubus Sara and she joined me…and that’s as far as I’ve gotten.

        How do you continue the rest of these? I’ve been talking to all the NPCs in town trying to make something out of it.

      • Desert Eagle

        Alright, I’ll spell it out for you. Lazarus is an influential person to the criminal organization. If you got a recommendation letter from him, that would make things a lot smoother. So go back to Iliasville.

        As I briefly mentioned, before you can investigate the succubus case, you need info from the criminal organization. First Lazarus, then stuff.

        If you’re done with Sara quest, I think you need to head back to Ludait village. I think it’s pretty urgent too.

    I know this would only be an issue for a OCD completionist but has any one managed to acquire all 3 dropped items from defeating the harpy twins? I got bananas and the blue feathers but after 3 hours of farming with 2x drop rate the third item has not appeared. I just want to know if it is bugged before I leave it as a stain on my completionist record. FYI, I’m still on version 1.00 with no translations.

    • Anonymous

      The last one shows as Breeze Cape (+10% evasion accessory) for me. I was probably still using version 1.00 at that point, but I’m using 1.02 now, so I can’t be certain that it dropped while I was using version 1.00.

      Good question and one we will find out eventually.

      ****Spoiler*****
      I am more curious about the latest Alice and Nero as well as Miciah & Luka’s mom. If the simple hypotheses hold true and Torotoro depicts sexual acts with Luka then he will be crossing into a new fetish.

      Is this a reply to my question? If it is, is that place only acessable if I finish the 3 Thieves quest?

      • Civildeviation

        Yup, I didn’t hit the right reply apparently and Desert missed it. As he had said, you are outta luck if you want to do it without passing the current translation point in the game. Otherwise if you go to the porn village in the SE of Illias continent and into the basement casino there you can get the 1.5 job exp amulets. Also, I’d recommend poker over slots, it took longer but was much more forgiving for me.

      • Grandork I’m sure you can get one early on, I remember that before you cross over to sentora you should have in your inventory 1 of heach hard job and hard grow bracelets, one’s from a BF and the other one I can’t remember. But you should be able to get one in a chest or as a reward for something.

      If you beat her in the demo it crashes. In the current full release of the game you can beat her and beat Grim albeit the latter is just a bit more fun than grinding to fight Ruby Weapon-if ya catch my drift.

    I have been playing the game for some time now and I just realized that Illias trait (Goddess of Creation) does not halves MP for holy skills or weapon based skills. Could it be a bug?

      Most holy skills have roughly twice the MP cost than their SP cost. Ilias should have them about equal, or off by one. Keep in mind that it’s only MP that is halved, not SP.

      • Anonymous

        Oooh I see so its already applied, I knew about the SP but I thought the MP it will be halved the moment the skill is cast; It was just a misunderstanding on my part jaja thanks for clarifying that for me. Since I don’t have anyone else in my party who can use holy skills I wouldn’t have known. Once again, thank you for the help both of you XD

      One good way I farm Job Exp is by using Rumble on Luka and Bondage Rope on everyone else, then forcing his hp down to 1. He will always go first and 1 shot everything with the boomerang. And since your turn doesn’t end, you don’t regenerate, allowing you to keep that up 😀

    • Grandork

      Actually, I must have tested it wrong. For some odd reason on Alice the Regeneration is happening before the attack, odd.

    • Bookmarked to respond when I get home. If he’s trying to use the wordwrap script that comes with the old insani xp3 tools, I know that one doesn’t work. I had to update it for VH2 and then again for VH3. Hopefully my VH3 version works with VH4 and that’ll be real easy.

      I’m really wondering about the Necromancer/Medium/Puppeteer summons since the names were not mention in the original trilogy at all.

      • Anonymous

        Actually, they were. Remember Chrome? Her family specialised in three traditional crafts: Necromancy (self-explanatory), Ghost Summoning (Medium) and Puppeteering. Since Alice prohibits her from continuing to use Zombies, she starts using Ghosts, which backfires hilariously. In the end, she settles for Puppeteering.

  63. Do Sylph, the fairy group and the twin fairies share affection level? They all have the same fir me and I don’t recall using either the fairy group or the twins or giving them any gifts.

  64. khalayia

    at the start it mentions weapons/armor etc that can be continually upgraded throughout the game to eventually get to legendary levels, has anyone got an idea about which items are capable of this or the process to do it so far?

    • Desert Eagle

      So far, Fish Boomerang has been pretty upgradeable. And yes, Luka’s Custom Sword has several upgrades.

      Gold rapier has been pretty upgradeable too. It upgrades into Earth Rapier, then Lamian Rapier and finally Lamian Rapier X. The last one is a weapon that gives a nice magic boost and has a chance to confuse the enemy on every strike. One of my favourite weapons. 🙂

      • khalayia

        i spotted the fish boomerang one but can’t find the upgrade process, can you point me in the right direction if possible?

      • Desert Eagle

        Well, the process is started with a boomerang and a fish, of course. The blacksmith in the slime girl village creates the first one.

        It’s upgraded into “Fish Boomerang+” in Iliasburg, and then further upgraded into “Fish Boomerang Custom/おさかなブーメランカスタム” in Enrika. You can then upgrade it into “Mother Nature’s Fish Boomerang/大自然のおさかなブーメラン” in Natalie Port, and then upgrade it into its plus version in San Ilias. Its last upgrade is done in Monte Carlo where it becomes “Mother Nature’s Fish Boomerang++/大自然のおさかなブーメラン++”. After that, nothing. I’m guessing it will receive more upgrades in part 2, being such an iconic weapon.

        If you need further information about weapons, you can find it all in Party Menu –> Library –> Weapon Book.

      • Desert Eagle

        Oh right. I should also mention that Mother Nature’s Fish Boomerang++ has all the natural elements imbued into its attacks. Whenever you hit with it, you hit with a water/earth/wind attack. The element is decided on which one the enemy is the most weak against.

    • Pyro

      For weapon/armor upgrades you’re looking for shops with a Blacksmith Hammer on them, sometimes it’s in the same building as the Weapon/Armor shop other times it’s on it’s own or even found in certain fields, at which point you can Synthesize upgrades if you have the proper components.

      • khalayia

        ty desert and pyro; to clarify my question was relating to the process by which to upgrade it since the japanese wording made it quite hard to find out where to go to perform further upgrades.

        Lockpick II is available when you get to lv. 7 of the Master Thief job which is in intermediate jobs. I had Pochi master 3 basic jobs; thief, merchant, and hunter and then checked intermediate jobs and Master Thief was available. I also changed Pochi’s race to Lunatic Beast beforehand but not sure if that has anything to do with it.

      Oh! That’s useful to know! Now I know why rapier skills trigger Lamian Rapier X’s special effect.

      I’ll have to look through my main team’s skills again.

    Dargoth, Skill 985: Charge Ray is missing Effect: + in it’s description.

    Also, I’ve updated Basic Classes to include Description, should look nice now =)

    In what way does your job/race effect your stats? Is it passively or does it effect your level up stats? For example, if I level up as a Basic Job, am I losing out on stats as opposed to leveling up as an Advanced Job? (i.e. Apprentice Hero vs Hero)

      • Anonymous

        Sorry, do you mean it just amplifies your base stats (passively)…or does it make a difference on your stats WHEN you level?

        I’m only asking because I want to play around with it and optimize…don’t want to lose stats by leveling up too fast without changing my job.

      • Grandork

        Don’t think so, the Parameter Curve for all Jobs and Races are all the same, so they shouldn’t affect growth while leveling.

      • NoName

        Jobs are like special equipment item. You have your base stats. When you choose a job, that job lowers some of those stats and raises others. That’s the only thing it does, just like any armour in the game. Your job has no influence in the way your stats are raised. This game is not that advanced LOL.

  71. I went through Toro’s save to see if I missed anything and apparently I missed a monster girl that looks like a black scorpion with 2 red tipped tentacles and a sort ofhelmentt on her head.By where she is liste in the encyclopedia it looks like she should appear in Luditte village dungeon but she didn’t for me and I grinded there quite some time till I got all the steals and dropped items from XX-7 and the little bug. Am I the only one who hasn’t encountered her?

    • Desert Eagle

      She’s called Canceroid (At least, that’s what I call her). She’s indeed down in Ludait/Luditte dungeon but she only appears deep in the dungeon. Go to the HP/MP restore point and keep walking around it until you encounter her.

  72. Desert Eagle

    So. I managed to acquire 40 small medals more. I went back to Medal Queen and traded for 40 small medal option.

    I now possess the famed sword Caladbolg/カラドボルグ.

    Unfortunately… It’s not a normal sword. It’s something called “魔導剣”. I’m not entirely sure what it means but I think it’s “Magic Sword”. None of the jobs I’ve come across have the ability to wield a magic sword. I can’t use Caladbolg.

    I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry. Ah well, at least it’ll wait for me in part 2. Hopefully.

      • Anonymous

        That or he looked up names for magic swords in history Caladbolg is one of the less heard Irish names for Excalibur after all. Don’t know if you ever noticed but the Japanese like to name swords in games after the ones in legends.

    • Grandork

      Magic Sword is for Tier 3 Classes. Kuji-In Sword God, Tao Master and Cosmic Magus use it. Pope is just an exception XD

      • Anonymous

        And Magiknights (and, as mentioned by someone else, Sages). So, half the jobs that can use magic swords are tier 2.

    • Desert Eagle

      Mmmh, and Sage can use magic swords as well. I gave Caladbolg to a sage in my group, Shesta. Her insect techniques are finally powerful enough to be considered respectable.

    sorry if this has been asked before, but is there anything we can do with the puppeteer tower yet or is that in part 2?

      • xDyaN

        Yeah, but how to you get into it for the initial visit? I saw that people got in, and that’s the only thing that i couldn’t do, can someone give some infos pls?

      • Desert Eagle

        You go there on an errand from Chrome. She was going to start studying puppeteering but she didn’t have enough of the special thread needed for it. So what better place to get it than from the legendary puppeteer’s tower?

        So yeah. To answer your question, you first have to clear ghost mansion and then talk to Chrome to start the mini-quest. You then go to Monte Carlo/モンテカルロ.

        It should be noted that Chrome doesn’t actually know where to get this thread from – that part was left up to you to figure out. In order for your character to figure it out, you have to gather information in Monte Carlo. I’m not sure who exactly knows anything about puppeteer’s tower there but I think someone there does. You might have to visit the criminal organization there to get that info (You need a letter of recommendation from Lazarus).

        Once you know the place’s name and that it exists, you walk south-west from Monte Carlo, into the cavern and go through it until you reach the tower.

        More info can be found in this walkthrough: http://pastebin.com/zaNGkJF2
        Puppeteer’s tower is there too, under mini-quests.

      • xDyaN

        Yeah, i’ve done it like it was wrote there but nope, nothing happened, i will retry again tho, probably i’ve messed up somewhere xD

      • Anonymous

        Apparently some people said that you have to try to enter the tower after defeating Chrome and receiving her quest, but NOT finding the parts at the bottom of the mountain in order to enter it. Can anyone confirm if thats true, if it is that’s really stupid.

      • Desert Eagle

        It’s been a while since I was at puppeteer’s tower but that shouldn’t be possible. Alice told me constantly not to go downstairs but go over the bridge to the tower instead. You should have been blocked from taking the wrong route.

        However, I had already defeated Chrome at that point. I’m not sure what would happen if you decided to skip Chrome and go to the cavern instead…

  75. Desert Eagle

    I… Whew… Whooh… I finally defeated Death! On Hell mode! I think the battle lasted almost for an hour! I also defeated the encounter that preceeded Death; I think it was good practice.

    Can’t complain about the rewards. 🙂

    • JustaFan

      @Desert Eagle: And? Could you recruit her? By the way. Do anyone know where to get the best equipment in Part one? I mean things like strongest Sword and such stuff.

      • Desert Eagle

        No, I could not recruit her. Maybe in future.

        Death does drop a very nice piece of armor though. It might even be the best in game so far. I’ve also heard that the 50 medal option at Medal Queen is a piece of armor too. The reason I didn’t go for it was because it’s called “Bra of the Archangel”. (I suppose I could give it to Sonia though…)

        I don’t know any particularly great weapons though. My Luka wields a sword called Runeblade Earth/ルーンブレード・アース, which gives a good balanced boost to both Attack and Magic. I like it because the four spirit summons use magic in their damage calculations. I had it made in Grandoll/グランドール

        I did acquire a sword called Caladbolg from Medal Queen (40 medals) but it’s a magic sword. Currently, only pope and sage can wield it. It gives a nice chunk of ATT, MAG and DEX though.

      • JustaFan

        Ah ok. And which chars/jobs and races do you used for the Battle? Maybe i try to battle her too. But i think i need to complete a few more jobs and races to get better abilities in order to beat her.
        Hmm that means Death, Adult Alice, Harpye Queen, Queen of the North See and of course the Endboss and the three Succubi Sisters are the only chars that can not be recruitet in part one.

      • Desert Eagle

        The characters I used were:

        1. Luka – Valkyrie – Hero
        2. Lily – Worm Summoner – Magical Librarian
        3. Shesta – Arachne – Sage
        4. Riot – Wyvern – Battle Master

        Everything I had taught to my team were put to a serious test when I fought Death.

    • JustaFan

      Ok i tried to fight Death. Didnt knowed that you need to fight Adult Alice before you can fight her. After i beatet Alice the battle with Death instantly startet. Well first round she maked a skill that dealed 4-5k Damage to all of my chars. With other words: Instant Death. Dont know how to beat her. And when i hear about beating her on Paradox im sure its not possible in Part one. Even on Hell its a pain in the ass like Desert Eagle sayed.

      • From what I know their are two ways to beat death stacking evasion which I believe you need luka,unfortunate harpy, sylph I’m not sure on the 4th member but a ability(magic counter I think) that reflects one of her attack helps to lower her health down much faster or getting a team with both the ability that makes it so you can’t die when you have 30% or more health and being immune to instant death and lots of healing also works.

      • JustaFan

        I fightet her again and tried the Evasion stuff. i Dodged a lot of attacks. But in the end. She uses two Rounds in a row a normal attack or so that maked over 7k Damage on every of my chars. Maybe it was a instant death attack dont know. But even without that. If she hit me with normal stuff it makes still to much damage. So it isnt possible for me. Need to wait for more progress with the translation to understand more of the stuff. Thats means i will stop playing the game until the full Translation came along. When that happens i planed to start from the beginning again to get all story stuff. And maybe then i try to beat her again. If it still doesnt work then i hope you can still fight her in the second part too with the same strenght she had in part one and blow her away in 2 Rounds. XD

      • Desert Eagle

        Try equipping the defense ability “Endure”. If your characters suffers a fatal wound while their HP is above 30%, they can survive it with one HP left. That will protect your characters against one deathly attack from Death.

        Another way is to use Summoning. Two members of my team had access to summon spells. Necromancy gives you a summon called “Vicarious Clara” which adds a “three layer deflector” to the summoner. What it means is that everytime the summoner would suffer a harmful attack, one layer is used to negate that attack. Perfect defense against big attacks.

        It should be noted, however, that she IS Death. Some of her attacks have a chance of instant death applied to them. So even if your character has Endure or Vicarious Clara, the instant death effect can still get through. On top of that, she can cast confuse on your party members. Those two mechanics can potentially ruin things. They shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with though.

      • JustaFan

        Ahh i just wait. Until now i have played the game too much. Need a break from it. And because the Phoenix Quest line is bugged by me and i want to get all the story i would either start to play from the start when the translation is done. Until now i got a good feeling for the mechanics and all that stuff. By the way Desert Eagle. Do you think Death is Beatable on Paradox with only the Part one Stuff that you can get?

      • Desert Eagle

        Yeah, I think she’s beatable on Paradox mode. It shouldn’t be too different from Hell mode; Just longer.

        You know Honey Pots? Monsterpedia says that their health is 10k. But when I fought them on Hell mode, I’m pretty sure their health was 20k. I think Hell mode doubles any HP value the monsterpedia states. Based on my experience with Slime Girls on Paradox mode (*shudder*), I think Paradox mode triples or quadruples the base value.

        Death’s HP is STAGGERINGLY huge – and that’s just the base health; The reason the fight took almost an hour for me was because Hell mode DOUBLED it. Paradox mode would take quite some time to beat – especially if her defense is higher.

        I don’t think the option for having a re-match with her exists in 1.02 though. I think I’ll wait until the next translation patch, same as you. 😛

      • JustaFan

        Hehe i fightet one Enemy group oudside the last Tartarus entrance. I got one shotet by them XD
        Yeahh there are too much thinks i dont understand but which could help if translated. So waiting is the best option. And i think over 80 hours play time are enough for the beginning XD

    • Desert Eagle

      I’m kinda hoping some of the monsters get alternate h-scene that don’t result in Luka’s death.

      Oh, and I’m also hoping that Medal Queen gets H-scenes.

      • Civildeviation

        “In addition there will be some new castle sex “request” scenes as well as new illustrations. Also apparently with this update some highly demanded monsters who appeared in Chapter 1 (not 100% if this is in reference to the 1st chapter of the original trilogy or the 1st chapter of Paradox) might now appear and be recruitable.”

        I doubt that means from MGQ considering that would either be the 4 heavenly knights, kraken, or the chimera dryad. If it’s from this one, that could mean Harpy Queen, Sphinx, succubus Sara, Rameru, nagairu, the last boss, or two of the three succubi. My guess is Harpy, Succubus Sara and/or Rameru/Nagairu.

      • Desert Eagle

        @Grandork – But there are already non-lethal vore scenes. If you’re good friends with the monster girls, they won’t cross the line and kill you. Vore monsters will use diluted stomach acid that doesn’t act too fast on you or something else along those lines. The other deadly girls will stop their act before you actually cross the border to afterlife. Some monsters, however, don’t have the non-lethal option which makes me sad.

        @Civildeviation – It can’t be Harpy Queen. We’d first have to have access to the island where we can acquire the fruit needed to cure her. The other harpies might get new scenes though; Their artwork was re-done in chapter 3 of MGQ. Maybe we’ll see something like that.

      • Civildeviation

        @Desert, good point for Harpy Queen. I’m glad some vore scenes don’t have happy-endings. The contrast between bad and good ends needs to be maintained if you want a sense of uncertainy, excitement, and surprise. Torotoro knows this.

      • Desert Eagle

        I don’t know… How much surprise do they need more? The scenes are already so full of imagination that they themselves are already enough as a surprise.

        Besides, any suprise that these scenes have vanishes after the first time (that is, after you watch it completely). Is it really worth it to make some girls’ request scenes death-only? They are, after all, supposed to be your comrades, even if only loosely. It means a lot to me, and very possibly to others too, that the chance for co-existing exists with these girls.

        Besides, we already have loss scenes for bad endings.

      • Civildeviation

        @Desert, I used to feel that way during the original MGQ game and wondered, how does Luka build “true coexistance” if some of the monster girls are voracious, if not mindless carnivores. Then I thought, dammit I want a happy ending. Funny enough, after getting married to a writer and having my tastes in stories become more complex I found that short of a DIsney flick I rather prefer the imperfect co-existance ending now.

        That said, I’m glad that you find the true co-existance in this game means something for ya, whatever the reasoning. It’s just ironic that two people both enjoying the game beyond it’s eroge content find that we crave somewhat opposing ideas for peaceful resolutionsI

      • Desert Eagle

        Are you actually happy with the way things are now, though? Wouldn’t it be enough to give everyone a choice?

        At some point, I wanted to add Apoptosis Valto to my team but because she only has a lethal H-scene, I scrapped that idea. When I heard about new H-scenes, I was hoping that girls like her would get a non-lethal version to their scenes. If they did, that would broaden my choices for my main team.

        My point is, I don’t think there’s any actual value in keeping some girls deadly-only that would justify it. If there is, there’s not much I can do about it. To each their own. I just wish the freedom of choice would be enough for people.

    The feeling when you beaten the game and are on a grinding fest but then suddenly one morning your computer wasn’t to start up properly and you had to factory restore your computer because it became that bad and I lost my save. Depressing times… welp time to wait for the full translation patch to give it another go. </3

    • Ningyo no Koibito

      Ouch. I am very sorry that happened. How many hours did you invest grinding? There may be a way to avoid doing that again, although most may prefer not taking that route….

      • deuxvolt

        I think I’ve invested about a good week, half into beating the game and the rest to just grind out job exp at the final tower where the honey pot rooms were =/

      • Ningyo no Koibito

        deuxvolt – That’s quite a bit. There’s an external app called Cheat Engine, but I cannot help you with how to use it here if you want to take that route. It’s not illegal, but I’m sure use of that is frowned upon by some.

      • deuxvolt

        Can I ask you for help outside or I would overall have to research into this on my own? Is asking for a copy of another person saved file is also frowned upon?

      • Ningyo no Koibito

        Asking for another save file is probably not a bad thing. We have save files available for the original Monmusu Quest at Monster Girl Unlimited and will probably have them for Paradox, too. If you want further help, contact me (same nickname) in the Monster Girl Unlimited forum.

    • Desert Eagle

      Ouch! I’m really sorry for you. 🙁

      I, too, have invested a lot of time into MGQ Paradox. At some point, I got scared that something like that might happen. That’s when I started making backups. But, uh, I guess that wouldn’t help against factory reset – unless I put the backup on a memory stick.

  77. Anonymous

    First off, sorry for asking this. You’ve all probably heard this a million times before.
    I have 1.02 version of the game. I downloaded the 1.02a english patch, put it in the patch directory, and ran it. Stops at 49% and says wrong version. Thought this was no big deal, I have an rpgmaker decrypter after all. Ran the file, got the data and graphics, all good so far. I then put the data file in the game directory and copied over the graphics folder, overwriting when applicable. I then deleted the game.rg3ss file. At this point the game still runs, but in japanese.

    From here on I’m not sure what to do. The english patch only contains the patcher, no actual files to copy over. The patcher itself still thinks the game is the wrong version, thus wont work. So I’m not sure where to get the patched files to move over.

    Again, sorry for the trouble.

    • I’m going to be honest with you I don’t really get half of what you just said why are you deleting file why are you touching the data and graphics and why do you have a patch directory if your only now doing the patch you should have a patch directory. All you have to do is have a fresh Japanese version 1.02 put the patch file into the main directory and run it also the patch has 3 file so I don’t know what happen to the other two so download it again.

      • Anonymous

        well if you read my comment I said that the patcher doesn’t work, which Dargoth gave an alternate way of installing should that be the case. However I am having issues with the alternate install, so I was asking for help with that.

        As for the 3 files in the patch folder yes, I stated that incorrectly. There are 3 files in that folder. What I am having an issue with is step 5.

      • Anonymous

        You said that the english patch only contains the patcher, but the alternate method shouldn’t contain the patcher. It should a decent amount of data files. Are you certain that you downloaded the files from the second set of links in the post, instead of the first? The zip file downloaded should be “Paradox English 1.02a Patched Data.zip” instead of “Paradox English Patch 1.02a.zip”.

    • Grandork

      The first link was for the patcher, se second link was for Data/Graphic files, that’s what you need to download if you are going through the decryption route. Are you sure you downloaded 1.02? Because there is a 1.03 and a 1.01

      • Anonymous

        In Reply to Anon and Grandork:
        Thank you for your help. Indeed, I had downloaded the patcher file instead of the alternate path file. An obvious mistake, I’ll admit I’m a little embarrassed I missed that.

    I have Amira recruited and no one can change to the snitch/agent job. Is the job exclusive to Amira? If not, how can I get the permission item?

    • Desert Eagle

      Recruiting Amira isn’t enough – you have to complete the Phoenix sidequest and then talk to Amira again.

    • Desert Eagle

      It should be completed then. If you talked to Amira afterwards, you should have received the job item for the Informant job.

      Is the item 情報屋の掟 in your key items? It’s below “Business Permit” and “Enlistment Permit”, and above the machina key items. Its icon looks like a piece of paper that has been neatly folded at some point.

        Searching for Amira in different cities is a miniquest. You get nice little stuff if you manage to find them. It’s not related to the Informant job.

        Hmmm… I really can’t think of any reason why you don’t have the job item. You should have it. The only reason I can think of is that it’s a bug.

      • It’s not a bug, I had to restart and lose about 50+h of grinding because if you pay amira and she joins you before you solve the quest the job is lost or at least I haven’t found a way to get it after that.

      • Anonymous

        You can get the job even if you paid amira (I did it), you need to talk to her is the castle to start the quest and then complete it (beware, it was buggued in v1.00 and didn’t work, was corrected in v1.02 and should still work now).

        So if you pay her and visit the bunny girl in the prono village you get the job? The problem is that I already finished the phoenix side quest and have recruited her.
        Can´t believe that you actually can miss permissions. But maybe you can get them some other way…

      • JustaFan

        Ok after i talked to Amira in the Castle and used the almost last talk thread i managed to get the phoenix quest done. I needed to make all steps and now i have the Phoenix. But i dont know if i have the job now. Is the Job Informant? Or is it the one between Merchant and Flirt?

      • JustaFan

        Ah sry didnt saw that Desert already said that it is the Informant Job. Ok so this is done. But what about the job between Merchant and Flirt? Which one is it? And where do i get it? Or isnt it in part 1?

      • Desert Eagle

        The job between Merchant and Flirt is the Fortune Teller. You can get it by trading a Hard Grow Bracelet to a fortune teller in Pornof. It’s pretty easy to spot her, she’s under the tree.

        This job should be quite beneficial to you; It gives the 1.5x Item Drop rate ability. If you master it, you can upgrade to Gambler which gets the 2x Item Drop rate. Very useful if you plan to go after small medals, or want nice items in general.

      • JustaFan

        Ah that was the thing with the Orc girl right? I need to take her with me so i can talk with the fortune Teller and make the trade right?

      • JustaFan

        Hmmm ok which city is Pornof? All my Cities are untranslated when i use warp or a Harpy Wing.
        Man i really ask a lot in the last few days.

        Mmmh… No… Orc girl shouldn’t be necessary for the trade? You can take Hip with you if you want though.

        Where is Pornof? It’s east of the 1st Tartarus Hole, and south-east from Iliasville. It’s the town of the jobless and the perverts so I was hoping the name would tip you off. 😛

    The item guide in the game says I can find cheese in ilias village, does anyone know where? I’d rather not farm rat girls for my cheese.

    • Desert Eagle

      I have no idea. I tried to find cheese as well, and the item library said I could find cheese in Iliasville. I couldn’t find anyone selling cheese there though. An online wiki doesn’t acknowledge that cheese can be bought there either. My best guess is that someone selling cheese will be added there later.

      I farmed rat/mouse girls too, so I could make pizza and pizza dumplings. I ended up giving up on it and just focused on making the other high-class food stuff. It worked well for me.

    Hey guys I have question, is there a reason why I can’t equip a boomerang and a sword, or a boomerang and a dagger using the Battle master job? I do can equip a sword and a dagger so I don’t understand why those other combinations are not good. Is it because I’m using the 1.20 version?

    • Desert Eagle

      Perhaps those two weapons are simply not compatible? Not all weapons can be dual-wielded. I couldn’t combine two fangs weapons, or a fang weapon and a fist weapon. I could, however, combine two fist weapons.

      My advice is to just find a weapon combo that works.

      • khalayia

        its most likely a fact that one is ranged and the other is melee or the fact that one can hit the entire enemy and the other can’t. not sure about the fang and fist combo though.

  84. Does anyone know where the Lamp Genie appears more frequently, I’m trying to get all the monster girls monsterpedia info including drops and steals and she seems to be quite elusive.

      Around Sabasa, I think? You might want to equip two “Encounter Quintuple” abilities if you haven’t already. That speeds up the process of cycling through encounters.

      • Yes I am using quintuple encounters, the thing is I don’t really skip battles because ever since I started playing rpgs I could never turn down exp job exp items and money I was just wondering if the was more common as an encounter elsewhere since I’m already done stealing everything and getting all the drops from cactus girl, scorpion girl and ostrich girl

    hey dargoth, not sure if anyone’s mentioned this before but alice’s trait says HP cost of skills is halved…. farily sure it should be sp or mp ^^

    • Desert Eagle

      No, it really does mean HP cost. Skills like “Black Hole” and necromancy in general require HP in their casting.

      • Desert Eagle

        I’m not quite sure what you’re asking. Are you asking for a race that makes use of Alice’s halved HP cost? (Personally, I just made Alice master all the races). Or are you asking for a race that gives a boost for MP and SP?

        I’ll assume it’s both. If you make Alice master Spiritualist (the irony), she’ll learn the ability “Skill: Summoning”. That allows Alice to use summon spells regardless of her job. Mastering Summoner, Necromancer, Medium and Puppeteer will give her more summon spells to use, and necromancy gives the zombie spells which use HP.

        If you want to improve SP and MP of a character, you could master Hero and Sage jobs. Hero gives SP Regen +10% at job level 7, and the Sage job gives 3/4 MP cost and +1% MP Regen. Pretty solid choices.

    hello, i have a question, the two (i think) monestergirls that appear in the other ilias are recruitable? i can beat them now

    • Anonymous

      Those two angels are not recruitable in part 1. Their encyclopedia entry lacks the line that is there for other recruitable monstergirls.

    So what’s the consensus on the best classes so far? I’ve beaten Nanabi, but can’t seem to beat Sphinx. Unless there’s a special way of going about it. Also, what’s the best weapon from each category and how do you get them? The blacksmith stuff kind of confuses.

      Also, is base evasion character dependent? What dictates it? Like Unfortunate Harpy (Pihar) has 70% base Evasion and Magic Evasion, yet all other Harpies have 40%/40%…is it all character dependent?

      • Anonymous

        If you look at Pihar’s entry in the Character Book, it tells you that the extra evasion/ magic evasion comes from her trait. Each character has a unique trait which should be given there. In most cases, it is always being able to equip a particular item, always being able to use certain skills, damage boosts to certain skills, or a copy of an ability.

    • Civildeviation

      Character traits and jobs/races are important. That said, what is best entirely depends on your play style and strategy. Probably more than anything else, it is important to grind advanced “abilities” such as the Power Fighter’s Endure ability. From there, I’d use characters who also have traits that are congruent with their role/actions in the party. For example, having Luka use Hero skills to benefit from the 1.3x damage bonus and Illias/Rosary as a summoner so they can double as white magic casters.

      I’m sure you will find something that works well for ya. That being said, if you are trying to kill bosses; I found that I like to have everyone with the “endure ability” and two healers/summoners that way I can heal everyone and if need be use phoenix in the event of a a near party wipe or carbunkle to reflect massive damage.

      • Civildeviation

        Oh and make sure Luka’s (or anyone for that matter) is set to a job and race that add to your intended setup. For example:, I like Luka to be a Hero or battlemaster with valkyrie so that I can really amp up damage multipliers while using Hero attacks to benefit from the 1.3x damage modifier.

      • Something rubs me the wrong way about this. Isn’t it illegal to use Rogue’s translation to make a profit? I mean did they ask for his permission? Is he getting rewarded for his hard work?

      • Grandork

        @Casian It’s the other way around. It’s against the Fair Use to make and distribute derivative work of another’s IP (although there have been cases that were ruled Fair Use, even though it was a derivative work), like a translation of his work. Thus, if Torotoro wanted, he could have C&D Rogue’s translation. At the same time, the translation belongs to him, for the same reason stated above.

      • Anonymous

        I just started the officially translated MGQ Origin and while I didn’t play far, it does look to me that they didn’t use rogues translation but made a new one or they massively edited it

    • CwHart

      I may be talking out of my ass, but isn’t it only illegal if it was more monetary gain or giving away a paid product? Far as I know rogue never gave away the game only offered a translation for it, and he never attempted to profit off of it. Granted I guess it’s a moot point since Toro has been so cool about all of this from the start.

      • Grandork

        In case of derivative work, he doesn’t even have gain anything, the IP owner just has to prove loss of future revenue, and in case of translating a game into English, it’s quite easy.

    Could just be me, maybe i messed something up, but every time i run the game and get defeated, i get nomethoderror and the game crashed. Rather frustrating, actually.

    • Desert Eagle

      Remember the Key of Hades the white rabbit dropped in Iliasburg? That key opens a stone door on the 2nd floor of Ilias Temple. That door leads to a special place where Death resides. You can also re-fight previous bosses there.

    Could someone here advise me on how to find Rami?
    Shes the big-breasted Imp of the three Imps… I can see the one in the farm, the other in the warehouse, but I just can’t find the third one. Have a feeling if I find the third one I can get all three of them recruited…

    • Anon

      She is a random encounter in the Cave of Trials, just south of Iliasville. Walk around in there and fight for a while, there’s a small chance that she will join you after fighting her. Once you have her, simply talk to the other two Imps with Rami in your party and they’ll join you as well.

      • Anonymous

        AAH… I ran full half encounter plus accessories to reduce encounters early game(To the point that all new story-based recruits are higher levels then Luka, Sonya and Alice despite me using them since the very start) so…yeah. I reduced random encounters quite a lot back then.

        I just had to know where it was at before I go and run quad encounters at that place… Walked around starter village with quad but to no avail, thanks for the info.

  90. khalayia

    hey everyone, if youve got a party that can beat death, could you also beat those super strong angel hybrids at the end of the first tartarus?

    • Desert Eagle

      Yes. The angels are piece of cake compared to Death and Alipheese the 16th. You can unlock their entries in your monsterpedia by defeating them. That, and 15 Job experience is all you get.

    • Civildeviation

      I wonder how they will deal with the “endure” and “stacked evasion” mechanics in the following games. Seems like they could be really overpowered.

      • Desert Eagle

        Well… Alipheese the 16th already had a pretty good counter against Endure. “Monster Lord’s Cruelty” (I’m guessing that’s what it was) hits random party members multiple times. Hard. Having 1 HP left doesn’t help against a 2nd attack. So yeah, multiple hits is one thing.

        I don’t know about evasion but you could just up the hit rating so that one certain attack will hit the target.

      • Anonymous

        Monster Load’s Cruelty also ignores 100% evasion and magic evasion. I’m not sure if hit rate actually allows you to bypass evasion or just decreases your chance of missing due to your weapon.

    hey guys. ive been looking at the walkthrough(cant understand japanese so not sure whats going on) but im at the slum part where i need to talk to a woman in a tent, followed by talking to a hooded feller at the pub. he is supposed to sell me a key or code so i can enter the storage building. but he doesnt. what do i need to do?

    • Anonymous

      The hooded person sells you the password for the woman in the tent. After buying the phoenix feathers from her, she will kick you out of the tent. If you chose Ilias, she will have stolen the key at this point. If you chose Alice, you have to go into the tavern and get the key from the person with the green cape.

      • Anonymous

        tried that. but all the hooded guy gives me is 3 windows of text and the same with the woman in the tent. the storehouse remains locked(i assume thats what it says when i approach the door, nothing happens)

      • Anonymous

        Is the hooded person asking for money? If not, you need to initiate the quest with Amira and/or investigate the house near the storehouse.

        Did you already buy the phoenix feathers from the woman in the tent? If not, you need to pay the hooded person in the tavern and choose the appropriate dialogue options from the woman in the tent.
        After this point, the woman in the tent should only give one window of text.

        If you still can’t access the storehouse after that, you need to speak with the green caped thief in the tavern to get the key.

      • Desert Eagle

    Does anyone know how to get inside the puppeteer tower? I have heard that people have gotten into it and when i read the walkthrough it said it was possible but I did everything the walkthrough said but it still says its locked when I tried to get into the tower.

    • Anonymous

      I got into it on my first playthrough, but not my second. The differences were that in the second, I didn’t talk to Chrome after defeating her to hear about the quest and I got the item in the bottom of the cave before approaching the tower.

      • Pablo

        Well I did talk to her after I defeated her and I went and got her item. Do I have to go to the tower first before I get her item?

      • Anonymous

        That seemed to be the case for me. The requirement to see the cutscene in there is to have talked to Chrome after defeating her, but not have obtained the item from the cave.

      • Pablo

        Is the tower scene important? I grinded for hours after I have beaten the game and I really don’t want to go back and redo everything just for one scene.

      • Desert Eagle

        Strange? You should have been blocked from going downstairs if you: 1) Talked to Chrome, and 2) Knew of the tower’s existence (Gathered info in Monte Carlo).

        Well, you should have been semi-blocked anyway. Alice told me not to go downstairs, and she told me it again when I attempted to do so anyway. I went to the tower and saw the cutscene.

      • Desert Eagle

        @Anonymous — I don’t think investigating Lubiana is a requirement. I did the investigation after I had visited the tower and seen the cutscene.

        Kind of you to share the save file though. 🙂

      • Anonymous

        I didn’t expect it to be either. It’s possible that you set the flag in either Lubiana or Monte Carlo. I didn’t have a save file after Monte Carlo and before getting the item, so I just used one from before Sylph and tried to find out how to trigger the cutscene.

      • Pablo

        Thank you for the save, I think my problem was that I didn’t go to monte carlo and learned of the tower’s existence until way after I have already completed Chrome’s quest.

    Can someone please tell me which ones are the skills that activate Radora’s battle CG? I have used a lot of skills but none of them seem to activate it.

      • Desert Eagle

        Aaah. The mandragora girl. Her name is Ragora though, not Radora. (The katakana for “do” is ” ド “.

        Hmmm… How to unlock battle CG? Usually, the entry is unlocked in your monsterpedia simply by defeating them. You can then just click on it and see all the CG.

        If you want to trigger a temptation attack in combat, it’s fairly random. A monster girl is likely to resort to temptation when they’re below 50% HP. You can make it go quicker if you equip the accessory “メロメロの香水” (Love Perfume?). I haven’t tried it myself but it should make her use temptation attack much sooner.

      • Anonymous

        Ah, thank you all who answered! I was actually talking about the portrait that shows when some characters use a certain skill type (like when Rami uses Black Magic). I already triggered thought, with singing skills, and now I feel like an idiot for not noticing that even AFTER she says in the castle that she loves her singing being heard. Still, thanks for all that info Desert Eagle, since I didn’t knew any of that jaja.

      • Desert Eagle

        Oh. That kind of battle CG. I was thinking of the CG for temptation attacks. Imp, orc girl and centaur girl have special CG for their temptation attacks.

  95. Civildeviation

    Neither are quite accurate, some monsters have specific battle and rape cgs. The rape cgs can be seen in the library-monster section however not the sex scenes. Many of these cannot be seen in the castle. That said, a lot of folks can’t seem to unlock cgs in the library/character section. Though goodness knows it may change come two weeks.

      Ya can’t, at least until you move the main quest forward quite a ways. I believe it is by camping outside Sabasa. Though others may know better.

      • Grandork

        Anyway, Cnby26@ulmf translated it:

        Some more information about v1.10 is up on the blog, including what we can expect in the new update.
        They’re still shooting for the end of April but the date ultimately depends on the length of DLsite’s product examination process, which could possibly delay things.

        Included are a wide range of bug fixes.
        New UI options include:
        -the ability to order/rearrange skills
        -a config option to skip combat victory messages
        -the ability to register and display favorites in the item/equipment screen

        New game elements include:
        -8 sex request scenes with new illustrations
        -new illustrations for all battlefuckers who lacked an appropriate “sex illustration”
        -all battlefuckers can now be recruited (giving gifts and castle request scenes are currently not available)
        -five male characters met in this chapter are now recruitable
        -new game plus is now available for this chapter

        “New Game Plus” will allow you to start the chapter over with all of your levels, equipment/items, and companions. The only exception being Alice/Illias, allowing you to run through the chapter again with a completely different starting companion.

        During production the average character level at chapter completion was hypothesized to be around 24.
        The second chapter will be balanced to reflect that.
        If you’re worried about gameplay balance and cruising through things too easily in the next chapter try to keep your levels in mind.

        Who are the five male characters? The only notable male characters are the pope(already recruited) and Lazarus(which I doubt is gonna be in our party in part one).

        Yeah, no to the scat guy. Might end up being the knight captain or possibly some of the trainers. I did like giving the panties master the death panties and alice’s panties. 🙂

        Maybe those five guys are not those who currently have artwork. Maybe they get their artwork in the upcoming patch.

        Oh, one notable character is the mafia godfather. He’s pretty old though. And there’s also- …Hmm. Wait. I better not mention him.

      • Anonymous

        The 5 males are indeed a point of confusion. I’m just gonna assume Lazarus is one. I doubt the mafia godfather, that just screams to show up later in the plot. As someone said, maybe one or more of the male job describers.

        I don’t even rightly see the point of adding many recruitable males anyway, it doesn’t seem like a popular or desired addition to this game’s genre. Heck, I can hardly see the appeal of adding so many recruitable normal human girl BFs. I’d feel a little differently if it were established characters, so I’m a-okay with my buddy Lazarus, and even that guy you get half way through part 1 (it doesn’t hurt that his Trait is really good too).

        I at least hope Witch Hunt Village’s BF has the Worm Summoner race, it’d be pretty sad if ALL of them were normal humans (except Enrika’s Elf BF).

      The xp and job xp seeds are drops from mimics and honeypots, respectively. Some other seeds are a rare steal from certain monstergirls: HP from the Reaper, Strength from Sandworm girl, Agility from the insect in Hild’s lab, Defense from Shellfish girl.

      • Anonymous

        HP seed farming is fairly easy. Bring Pihar with 100% evasion and magic evasion, have her use the harpy racial 4x steal until she takes it, then surrender. It probably helps to have the ‘skip previously seen loss scene’ option on. It’s faster than the other ones, where you have to get a random encounter.

    Hmm, according to torotoro the intended level to go into part 2 is 24 with only one senior position mastered. Well I always have a tendency to get over leveled as I go through rpgs. My moto in them is go where I need to last.

    • Desert Eagle

      I, uh, may have been abusing the bondage rope accessory to level up my characters. 😛

      Oh well. It’s always possible to crank up the difficulty if things are too easy.

      • Desert Eagle

        Also, even though I leveled up my team, I was planning to replace half of them in part two. So, half of my team will start from the bottom again.

        And if that’s not enough, I can use just “Encounter Half” to halve my exp gain. Eventually, things should be balanced out again.

    Are there several people who progress in the game in spite of the fact that the translation seems to end at illyasville?
    Personally I cannot do that cause I feel that understanding the story is important for MGQ

    • khalayia

      you can understand it to a point with translation programs, some are better than others (im having alot of trouble with chiitrans for some reason…………)

      • You know I tried to understand it well not it but the rape scenes for obvious reasons with Chiitrans but honestly I have no idea what potash means why Luka says encounter when he cums and many other words that have no rhyme or reason in the given context. Furthermore some words aren’t even translated and this program always puts the name of the character that’s speaking somewhere in the middle of the sentences. So translation programs aren’t really good at what they’re supposed to do.

    • Desert Eagle

      Yeah, I do that. Beat the game too.

      I know the basic hiragana and katakana letters so I am able to read some words. Translator Aggregator setup helps me read the stuff that I can’t read by myself. If the translation makes a mistake and I know what it is, I use the substitution plugin to fix it.

      I think I’ve even learned new words and kanji while playing.

    I got obliterated by a mimic in the cave of treasure, lost almost 2 hours of grinding because the game crashed and I forgot to save, but rather than feeling angry or disappointed I burst out laughing because I remembered Alice’s words that only an idiot would open a chest that was so suspiciously located in the middle of a room… …oh god I’m an idiot.

      Something similar may have happened to me in the past because I save my game almost neurotically after every battle and event.

  103. SS

    Okay, for anyone interested, here’s a Death beating character layout…it does require a lot of grinding, but you can’t really lose.

    Luka – Hero / Valkyrie

    Abilities
    -Attack
    *HP +20%
    *Attack +20%
    *Physical Damage +15%

    -Job
    *SP+20%

    -Defense
    *Evasion 20%
    *Magic Evasion 20%
    *Defense 20%
    *Endure

    -Special
    *SP recovery 10%

    Reina (Harpy Girl) – Overpowering Fist / Wing Harpy

    Abilities
    -Attack
    *Attack +20%
    *Crit Rate 30%
    *Counter 30%
    *Physical Damage +15%

    -Job
    *Agility 20%
    *SP 20%

    -Defense
    *Evasion 10%
    *Magic Evasion 20%
    *Endure

    -Special
    *SP recovery 10%

    Pihar (Unfortunate Harpy) – Dancer / Wing Harpy

    Required Equip – Don’t know the name, but it reduces SP costs by 3/4. May NOT be required, but helps.

    Abilities
    -Attack (not important on her)
    *Attack 20%
    *Magic Counter 30%

    -Job
    *SP 20%
    *Agility 20%
    *Dex 10%

    -Defense
    *Magic Evasion 20%
    *Evasion 20%

    -Special
    *SP recovery 10% (Required)

    Fairies (The ones in Sylph’s forest) – Sage / Wing Spirit

    Required Equip – White Mage Scroll. Not exactly required either, but it’ll help keep Luka up.

    Abilities
    -Magic
    *Magic 20%
    *All Elemental damage increases

    -Defense
    *Evasion 10%
    *Magic Evasion 20%
    *Endure

    -Special
    *Magic recovery 2%

    Strategy – Once Pihar is high enough as a Dancer, you’ll get the greater evasion dance and the atk/agi increasing dance. They both last three full turns, cast Evasion on the first turn, then the other buff on the second, after that just have Pihar defend and recast whenever the buffs wear off. With SP recovery 10%, you’ll have 100% uptime. With the greater evasion dance up, Pihar, Reina, and Fairies from my experience will have 100% evasion and magic evasion…so it’s impossible to get hit. Luka unfortunately will not have 100% evasion and magic evasion, but high enough to dodge most attacks.

    Actions I took

    Luka – Don’t know the name, but it’s the purple slash animation attack (Heroism) that costs 3 SP. It does good damage, and only costs 3 SP, so you’ll be able to use it a lot with SP recovery 10%. Luka CAN die, and sometimes will get hit by a life steal attack, which can be very inconvenient. Near the end, I actually stopped healing and reviving Luka due to this.

    Reina – Just use Thrusting Fist and defend when your SP is low for a few turns to recover it. With SP recovery 10% and counter attack you’ll be able to use it very often consecutively due to it’s low SP cost. NOTE: Reina was my main damage dealer as she was invincible and got to attack almost every turn.

    Pihar – Already outlined, she’s the key to the entire operation. Just use both dances and keep them up at all times. You can try having her do other things in between casts, but I found it easier not to.

    Fairies – Not really necessary, any other character with a base 40%/40% or 50%/50% evasion/Magic evasion will work. I used them because I liked them. However the strategy I used for them is their Nature seduction attack (costing 6SP). It does decent damage, and can be used twice consecutively. After you use it twice, just use an auto attack and you recover all of your SP, allowing you to use it two more times. Rinse and repeat. Also, if you intend on keeping Luka alive for damage…allow him to die and use the fairies to revive him with White Magic. This will take Luka above 30% HP, allowing him another two hits without having to use any other actions to heal him.

    That’s it. Reina, Pihar, and Fairies never once took damage. I’m not claiming this to be optimal, as I’m sure there are better ways to achieve much higher damage, but it DOES work and allows you to cheese Death. With that said, perhaps you can optimize it better than I did. Unfortunately, I don’t have the patience to optimize it until the game is fully translated. Have fun. 🙂

      Thank you so much for all the advice! If I feel like it I’ll just modify a thing or two, now its time to do like Dante and beat up Death.

      • SS

        I had no problem with her personally. With Endure you should be okay. Her battle is considerably shorter and easier than the battle against Death.

      • Desert Eagle

        Hmm. Endure doesn’t help much on Hell mode. Alipheese the 16th’s ability “Monster Lord’s Cruelty” hits so hard that a character with Endure will die from two hits. The only way I was able to deal with it was by using Vicarious Clara.

    • Sadly the endure skill were you can’t get killed when above 30% hp is a bug which will get fix next patch it only suppose to work once per battle

      • SS

        That’s unfortunate, but unless they’re changing Evasion, the strategy should still work. Luka can get a ton of evasion. In my fight against Death, he got hit maybe 10 ~ 12 times. However, I let him die because when he DOES get hit by her vampiric attack, it would set me back several turns, making it fairly inconvenient. The three other characters had no problem. As far as I can tell, you probably don’t even need Pihar. As long as you have a character after Job/Race choices who has 40%/40% and the two Evasions with the dance….they shouldn’t be able to be hit. Endure isn’t even necessary when you can’t be hit.

      • Desert Eagle

        Darnit. My strategy to defeat Death relied entirely on the Endure ability. Back to drawing board.

        I could try that strategy but… Well, I want to defeat Death with my own team. I could take some pointers from it though.

      • SS

        I’m going to attempt it on Paradox soon. I’m sure at some point Evasion and Magic Evasion are going to take a hit too, not just Endure.

      • Civildeviation

        Good, I am glad that endure will get nerf, it would have made difficulting scaling for the 2nd and 3rd part really hard tricksy.

      All characters can learn cross-class Summoning. You can speed up both Alice and Death (and Sphinx) by keeping up Carbuncle’s magic reflect buff. This will cause their AOE magic nukes (NOT Monster Lord’s Cruelty) to reflect onto them for huge damage. Having Death’s AOE fire nuke reflect on her for 4x 25k damage… that’s a big time saver.

    Can anyone recommend, possibly with a link, a good machine translator? The one I’m using did the job okay…but it crashes a lot and isn’t very good overall. All recommendations are appreciated.

    Now that I think about it, Its gonna be hard but fun finding all the small comments the girls have with different characters, like Pochi when you talk with the dog girl in Illiasburg, or Melk talking to the slug girl in the accessory shop also in Illiasburg. The ones that I have found made me giggle a lot. Barnny has one with the elf in the Lost Woods but I have no idea what they are saying.

    • Desert Eagle

      Or Lily when she sees the flirting couple in Sabasa. Or when she gets to talk with Iron Maiden in the pocket castle. 😛

      I don’t think I’m able to find all of the scenes. But dang, there are A LOT of them.

      • Anonymous

        Oh yeah I forgot about the conversations between the girls inside the pocket castle. Well at least the area its not THAT big if you know where the girls are but yeah, there are lot of hidden conversations. Its fun to see how some girls end up paralyzed by Ragora.

      • Desert Eagle

        There’s also other stuff, like when you chat up enemy in combat. Sometimes, they have very funny dialog options. For example, when Meia asks you what her favourite food is. Option no. 1 is the correct answer but I simply have to pick option no. 3 everytime. xD

    • Anonymous

      Pochi’s talk with the dog girl in Iliasburg is kind of obvious – there’s a dog girl in every town, and Pochi has a side quest (written on the note beside the inner gate (to the courtyard) of the Pocket Castle) to talk to the dog girls in every town.

    But can you give us a little update on how well the translation is going? We’d appreciate that 🙂

    um silly question, when new game+ is available, what happens if we beat the bezerker guy before someone turns up?

      • Anonymous

        Basically, neither Alice the 17th nor Nero show up, and Luka states that having defeated a powerful foe, some hidden power awakened (read: He gets access to the Lowly Angel race), so it’s pretty much as usual.

        There’s a special achievement (You know those stars that sometimes show up in the upper left corner of the screen?) for it, though.

    • Desert Eagle

      Not really… Well, unless the human has monster blood in their veins. Sometimes, very rarely, a monster girl gives birth to a human boy. The son, carrying monster blood, marries another woman and passes on that gene.

      If a human has a monster girl in their family tree, then theoretically they should be able to master that the power of that bloodline. If it’s too faint, there’s still the option to bring it out. Bunni, the bunny slime girl, actually does have beast genes in her. They weren’t fully activated until Promestein awakened them. Maybe some humans can undergo a similar treatment. Sometime in the future.

      • Anonymous

        As I understood it, Bunni wanted to be a beast and Promestein *gave* her beast genes. Mad scientist, y’know?

    • Grandork

      Unfortunately, as of now, the 2 key items that are needed for Race Change on Humans still do not exist, most likely will be in Part 2.

      The Advance Races for humans are:

      Demonoid: Users of Scythes, specialize in Time Magic, Holy and Dark. They have really good parameters, highest being ATK and HP (130%), followed by MP, MAG, AGI (120%), followed by DEF and MDEF (115%), and last DEX (110%).

      Worm Summoner: Specialize in Black Magic and Summoning, can also use Slime and Tentacle. They have average parameter, highest being MAG and DEX (120%), followed by MP and MDEF (115%), followed by ATK and HP (110%), DEF (105%) and last AGI (90%).

      • Desert Eagle

        I don’t think those two races will be available to just any human with the help of a key item. It could be that the key items for those were never even intended to exist in the first place.

        We know who worm summoners are. They’re the women of Witch Hunt Village who have tentacles growing out of their arms. Unlocking that on just any human character would be a bit complicated.

        Besides, Luka became a lowly angel without a key item. Some basic races, like imp, could be unlocked on certain human characters.

      • Grandork

        @Desert There are no special requirements other than the key for Worm Summoner. In Demonoid case, it also requires Noble Yoma and Fallen Angel, so my guess is that only Luka can be Demonoid.

      • Desert Eagle

        I mean that maybe those particular races are inherent to certain characters, and are never unlocked for others through key items. Like how Lily is already a Worm Summoner, and didn’t need to unlock it separately. Maybe the key item requirement is there simply out of coding reason, to keep the race locked.

      • Anonymous

        Not Luka, he isn’t a monster/has no monster genes.

        But (spoiler alert) Alice the 17th (called Neris in the game files) and Nero are Luka and Alice’s children from the “official” MGQ ending. I’m not sure if that makes Neris part human (I think she’s just Monster + Angel), but Nero is definitely partly all three of those – and it just happens that “Archfiend” (the advanced race building up on the immediate Demonoid race) fits his powerset *exactly*. He’s a Kuji-in Sword God as job, Archfiend as race.

  108. Anonymous

    Speaking about races, I haven’t gone too far in the game so I want to know if there is a way to change to other races outside the advanced for the particular race, for example, changing a beast into a fairy. Do I need an specific key item to do that? Or Its limited just for certain characters or races? My plan is changing Hip (the Orc girl) into an Earth Fairy so I can get her the Club skills of that race.

    • Desert Eagle

      No, there haven’t been any ways to change a race to another. In some case, it’s been possible to gain additional races, but I don’t think Hip can ever acquire Earth Fairy race.

      You can make her a Power Fighter if you want club skills though.

      • Anonymous

        Man, there goes my illusion to make her an Oni. I guess we can only wait to see if in part 2 there will be some way to change to at least one more different race.

      • Oh yea that would be a sick built. My Luka can deal over 7k damage with 1 the Sage Rod and the ring to lower attack and def to raise mag and will. By the way besides that rod which one is the 2nd strongest?

      • Grandork

        Sage Rod? The strongest Rod that I know is Holy Rod (+85 MAG, Holy), followed by Crystal Rod and Angel Rod Burst (+80 MAG, Physical). Interesting enough, gives the same amount of MAG as the Rune Staff Dogma (+80 MAG, Physical).

      • Well I don’t really know japanese and the chiitrans said something about the power of sages when I looked at that rod’s description, you’re probably right about the name. I noticed it gives the most willpower out of all the weapons I have in my inventory and that’s what I’m interested in, not Mag because holy skills work with Will. Anyway I needed to know that for the honey pot and mimic farming build the ring I mentioned earlier stacks with the ability Magic Converter which has the same effect. Even with all that I still can’t 1 shot a honey pot without some additional damage from another character and I doubt there’s anything else I can do to raise willpower more than it already is so I’m stuck at dealing 8,8k-9.3k damage with Grand Cross and it kinda pisses me off actually because if there was something I could do to increase will just a tad more(aside from temporary buffs) I’d be 1 HKO-ing them.

    What are the classes that can dual-wield? Ninja is one. Is there anyway to unlock the Ninja class in part one? I’ve only seen it on the Kitsune.

      • Anonymous

        Battle Master is the other one that dual-wields, not Power Fighter. Power Fighter is notable for giving the Endure ability.
        Currently, Ninja, Taoist, and Tao Swordsman are only usable by the 3 kistunes. There will likely be an item to unlock them when we reach Yamatai village, presumably in part 2.

    666th comment is mine, and therefore I get one wish from Satan!

  112. Pyro

    Fun question, sorry it’s probably been asked but I’ve had little luck tracking it down 🙁

    What does Merlin in the Desert city want?
    Is Iron Maiden just a pain to get or is there a bug in 1.02?

    • Anonymous

      Iron Maiden is just a pain. Or rather, a matter of luck, I got her without trouble.

      Merlin doesn’t want anything, he just kindly introduces himself after you simply walk into the house of the main mob boss of the Sabasa region (that would be him). He also explains that one of the reasons he can be so public about being a mob boss is that the Sabasa King knew that there would always be crime, so it might as well be organised. Merlin makes sure his guys don’t step out of line, and in turn, he gets a free pass.

      The weird moment happens when you leave, and Larzarus crawls up from under the table. Merlin comments he’s never seen Lazarus hide in such a panic, but that he can understand – his heart was beating quite fast, too. Luckily, both Luka and Sara were to young the last time they met Merlin, so they don’t remember him.

      No, this isn’t explained, but it’s probably linked to the old adventuring party of Luka’s father (Marcellus, Lazarus, Merlin, and whatever the name of Sonya’s mother was) – Marcellus is somewhere in Tartarus, Lazarus is the main suspect in a bombing attempt aimed at the Ilias King and has multiple connection to suspicious people (he explains the later with “well, that happens if you get around long enough”), and Merlin has become an outright mob boss…

      • Pyro

        Ahh cool cool, crappy machine translations made it sound like I had something to do for him. 🙂 90 min after I posted I finally got an Iron maiden, and now I believe I only have around 6 more left to recruit from the final area + tower.

        Now I just have to find a place to farm the race experience seeds — I believe I was just getting Job Experience seeds in B1 of the final tower so the quest continues.

        @Desert Eagle:
        He never actually says his name, but Mob Boss’ picture is saved under the name “Merlin”.
        The same way the picture of the angel-hunting thing attacking you after you recruit Sylph is saved under the name “Heinrich”, or Alice the 17th is saved under the name “Neris”.

      • Grandork

        Ah yes… Princess Evangile, still struggling to even read through one ending. Also, kinda weird that one of the main heroines doesn’t have an ending O.o

      • Kurobane Sayuki

        She is not main but side character if you’re talking about Ruriko.
        If you want to play her route, she has a route in fandisc (note that it’s in japanese only though)

        Also, why are you struggling? It’s like 3rd best VN I have ever read imo (and I have read quite few VNs).

      • Grandork

        That is what I thought was funny, she is part of the main group, plays a big role in the common route, and then BAM, side character. Anyway, the story is really predictable, riddled with cliches. I’m taking it really slowly, about a chapter at a time.

      • eXitus

        I know what you mean. Ruriko is one of my fav chars in that VN, it felt kinda like the appeal of that game died alittle bit the moment I found out that she has no route, aside from the fan-disc one.
        In the first place, that game has lots of interesting side characters that would deserve their own route… it just felt somewhat depressing to think that way, while following that pinkheaded pile of cliches route. Which was, atleast for me, only worthwhile because I was interested in the protagonists past.
        I’ll probably never touch that VN again, unless the Fan-Disk gets translated aswell.

      • Kurobane Sayuki

        Wow never again, really? o_O

        Well it’s true that the VN has a lot of “strong characters” that’s why it could use more routes.

      • eXitus

        Yeah never again. I feel like facepalming when I see all the side-characters who are – in my oppinion – more than worthy of a route for themselves. It irritates me even at some points. *sigh*

  113. As soon as the patch is released, i’ll buy MGQ:paradox. Its gonna be great, getting back into that world. Its funny how a porn game has more likable characters then most other games. strange times these are.

    Can someone please tell me where can I find a Ninja Sword? No matter where I go I can’t find one, I don’t understand why.

        I was referring to the weapon Ninja Sword, There has to be at least one way to get it for the ones that has ninja class right?

      • Grandork

        Like I said, Ninjas are not implemented yet, thus stands to reason that their Weapon aren’t in the game yet. So no, there are no Ninja Weapons in the game.

      • Anonymous

        Ninja is implemented, just not generally available. It could be said that the method for unlocking it is not implemented. Because the class is in a usable state, it is implemented.

      • Yah, you could say Ninja is implemented, since it is available to some monsters.
        This is in contrast to, for example, Kuji-in Sword God (one of the three visible Advanced Classes), which really isn’t implemented – if you look at it in RPGMaker, you still see several blanks, and if you cheat it for one of your characters, he’ll end up with several “empty” abilities.

        Still, when it comes to Katana and Ninja Swords, Grandork is right: They aren’t in the game yet. Each and every one of them is a blank dummy entry.

        That’s exactly why I’d like to know if the Castle-Shop-Expansions and the Affection-Levels will be taken over to the ng+ as well. If they’re not, all is well and I’ll just kill the last boss now. If it is, then I’ll now invest the time and take care of these things now, so I can enjoy the story without doing anything else.

      • I’ve redownloaded the game and the bug is pretty bad the game crashed on first battle, the bookshelf that allows you to replay battle is where the reaper is, the new party members do appear in the castle once you recruit them but when you talk to them the only option is to join your party can’t give them gifts. Also not a fan of any of the new cg or sex scenes that I’ve seen.

      • Anon

        A fixed version appears to have been uploaded, it fixed the battle crash for myself, so I assume it’s functioning as intended now.

    • Civildeviation

      New scenes mostly revolve around the mecha-monsters and are a bit more bizzare. It makes sense in some ways, though sadly I think the scenes many of us are craving will have to wait till part 2. Hopefully the next translation patch will include more content than the completed demo (fingers crossed).

      • eXitus

        Ah but I really don’t get it, how could such a bug survive after testing? I mean, we waited nearly a month for the QA of Dlsite to let it pass, didn’t they do their job? Or was there somekind of last minute change to the “patch”? O_o

    Hello, I wanted to ask something, for some reason the skill Ice Rebellion Fist does no damage whatsoever, no other Ice skills do this, just this one, someone knows why it may be?

    • Grandork

      The reason it does no damage is because there is no formula for it. Dargoth must have deleted it by accident. Will check once he releases the patch for 1.1

    • Grandork

      List of things that has to happen:

      1- Dargoth get the new patch
      2- Dargoth decrypt the new patch and transfer the translated files
      3- Dargoth finish whatever he needs/wants to finish
      4- Dargoth recompile the game and pray to the Monster Girl God that nothing breaks
      5- Dargoth sets up the patcher and uploads it, then he can post it

      So give or take a couple of days if no problem, a week if something easy to fix.

      You have to add the imp to your party and then equip it on her but you can’t add party members with the save file from the website so you gotta play the game yourself to do it.

        I tried this, gave her the red swimsuit at 100 affection, went through all her C scenes in the castle while she still had the swimsuit on, and no dice.

    • Desert Eagle

      Are you certain that an imp gets an alternate H-scene if they wear the swimsuit? And in that case, which one of them? I count three imps.

      I think you got imps mixed up with Hild (Brynnhild). Hild is the one who gets an alternate scene if she’s wearing the Dangerous Swimsuit. She talks about it too.

      If you’re wondering where to get that swimsuit, you can get one from the casino in Pornof, south-east from Iliasville.

      • Desert Eagle

        Oh. Patch 1.10 is out? Huh. I was, and still am, waiting for 1.10 translation patch. I didn’t realize it was already out.

        Yes, the patch notes say imp has a new scene. I’m guessing it means Rami. Try equipping the armor [あぶない水着] on her and then see if it works. Again, it can be acquired from Pornof, the pervert town south-east from Iliasville.

    Sorry, another question. I’m trying to get all the Shop-Expansions for Vanilla, but I’m stuck between Monte-Carlo and the Samurai.

      I, uh, really don’t understand. Scene with samurai? You mean the business negotiation with the samurai for a new product? And you already have that product in Vanilla’s shop?

      • eXitus

        Yeah, it’s the second and last negotiation with the Samurai. After that comes Witch Village/Town, but neither the Samurai nor the Shop-Owner of Witch Ville gives me a scene with Vanilla.
        Moreover, I should already have completed the requirements for the Shop-Owner. ~.~ That fag of a Samurai frustrates me to no end and google doesn’t give me anything useful either. Only the guide that I’m already following but has no in-depth info that could help. 🙁

        Thanks, but I already have them, their affection is at 100 too, every fu**ing chest in their cave is already looted by me… went in 3 times to make sure as well. Which really leaves only Monte -Carlo and the Samurai as the root of the problem and nowhere is a solution to be found. I really wonder what the problem is… *sigh*

      • Desert Eagle

        So, does Vanilla not say anything about the situation? You know, when you shop at the castle. You enter the shop screen and then leave, and Vanilla says something. Usually, she gives an update on what the next thing on the list is when the conditions are met.

      • eXitus

        Okay, I’m officially clueless… just now, I installed Chiitrans, even though I swore to myself NOT to use this stuff for this game.

  125. I know this may sound douchy and assholeish and I’m not sure if anyone would agree with me but after I saw the updates in the graphics folder I honestly wish Xelvy would get booted off the MGQ Paradox team…Sperm snot? Really? I can understand sick minds getting off to slug porn and vore but who the hell finds sperm snot sexy….

    • Anonymous

      I agree with you, i dislike most of xelvy’s scenes as well. I think its ok for the already mutilated and grotesque looking monsters since it kinda fits, but it concerns me that Xelvy is in charge of Sonya and nearly all archangels. I wouldn’t fire him from the team entirely since he probably has his fans and aims at many rare fetishes, but he does far too much scenes in paradox if you ask me.

      • Civildeviation

        I agree that there are too many of them, though I am glad they are there. Many monster girl games suffer from redundant artistry and repeated sexual themes. With Xelvy we get creative input often playing at the horrific or disgusting fetish crowds. That said, I too kinda worry about Sonja and the archangels, I hope a few of the scenes for such iconic characters are not too nitche oriented.

    • Anonymous

      What the hell are you talking about? While Xelvy usally draws the more wierd/disturbing side of the artwork and I understand its not everyones cup of tea. I’m glad that he is on the team because you can easily see that he is one of the most dedicated artists in the game because of the supreme quality, variation and quantity of his art present in the game.
      Thinking he should be booted of the team just because you don’t like his artstyle is just terrible.
      Me myself think that some of his art is cool while others are just wierd but I respect him because of his dedication.

      • Flavius

        I agree with the dedicated part since he draws far more pictures per scene than the other artists. My problem with him isn’t how disturbing his scenes are either but rather the quality of his art in combination with how weird they can get. I don’t get how you see his artwork as “supreme quality” compared to some other artists. His style looks amateurish, for example every blowjob scene looks like luka getting sucked off by a vacuum cleaner. His scenes tend to have serious horror movie atmosphere. Granted they are perfect for some monsters, like they were perfect for the artificial monsters from the original trilogy, but having him work on humans and human looking angels seems like a bad choice.

      • That’s about the only thing he has, dedication. That I respect he does draw more than the others for his rape scenes but that doesn’t make it a good thing. And yes I admitted I was terrible for saying that but that’s the way I feel because I dislike ALL of his chimeric monsters EXCEPT 1. the sycilla in Safaru Ruins. That’s probably the only acceptable monster girl I’ve ever seen from him. Again I’m not art expert this is just my opinion.

      • eXitus

        Well, I can get behind what you’re saying. It certainly is worrying that he is a huge contributor, since that means he will dictate a good part of the feel of this game. As for the sperm-snot, you normally find scenes like this with a sadistic protagonist who rapes the hell out of the heroines etc.. You know, the whole “I will paint even your brain white with my jizz until you can’t live without my magic stick anymore!” kind of thing. Sonja is maybe here for the group whose boat gets rocked by that? Although I have no Idea how that kinda group would end up buying this kind of game… so it seems more like a wasted opportunity, then a “catering” towards THAT fetish. ~.~

      • CMrC

        I totally agree. On my opinion they should’nt kick him out since there might be a demographic he appeals to, but atleast he shouldn’t be one of the main artist in the game. Surely he shouldn’t be doing 2 of the main character and almost all the roids, that’s a huge parte of this game cgs

      • eXitus

        Personally, I don’t care for the roids. Which probably means that I’m not part of his demographic? Besides ain’t the roids exactly what his demographic wants? Or rather what Luka has to endure through their hands/tentacles/you-name-it. <.< What worries me are the angels… you'd normally expect them to be the race of monstergirls that resembles the humans the most (With exceptions, ofcourse.). But I shudder to think about what comes out of his imagination and will be labeled as an angel. ~.~

      • eXitus

        Who could say “You’re wrong!” if you talk about what rocks your boat/appeals to you? After all, that is your personal taste, no one has a right to disagree. Although stating ones own taste and arguing about it is possible, no one would gain anything from it outside of headaches and a bitter taste in your mouth.

        Xelvy is actually a really good artist in terms of how his imagination works. What I mean is that thinking outside the sex scenes his characters are appealing for combining that atmosphere of “Horror&Cute/Cool”. Some characters are really grim but look awesome as monsters as they are so I think that break from the usual is creative, of course not everyone likes this but is pretty different so it has his merit, and in a sense it goes well with the game since one of the points of the game is accepting or befriending other creatures despite how horrifying or monstrous they may look; being careful with the ones who don’t control themselves during sex jaja. This is of course just MY opinion, how I get things jajaja.

    Currently the 1.10 has a lot of bugs that will eventually be fixed, but even with that, since you already have the new version, how are you going to handle this, Dargoth?

      • Pyro

        Sadly a patch to fix a bug can introduce a different bug, there was also content added which can cause other bugs.

        Unfortunately this is the name of the game & no true way around it even for the biggest of companies.

      • Goo Guy

        There’s a programmers song I was taught in college. It goes like this.

        99 bugs to fix on the wall,
        99 bugs to fix,
        take one down, patch it around,
        115 bugs to fix on the wall.

    • CwHart

      If there is alot of bugs, then they should prolly hold off on the patch and incorperate it into the upcoming one

      • eXitus

        I agree. But I’d really like an update on how far the patch has come by now and where the priority is at the moment? While I certainly have no right to demand something, I still am curious. 🙂

    • I don’t buy their assumption that people will buy English localized versions of VNs but won’t buy the Japanese versions and use a fan translation patch. I think that would only be true if the VN were available on Steam, which is all but impossible for H-games.

    • eXitus

      Their assumption is alittle outdated in my oppinion. I’ll happily buy a digital-japanese VN if an english patch is freely available, cuz it’s cheap. Think about it for a moment, dargoth (and the ones helping him) puts in huge amounts of time and effort to make a fantranslation !!!for free!!!

      On the other hand, if mangagamer puts out an official release, the chances are that the price will be higher than the “original”, since time and effort were used to localize it.

      This will only hurt OUR western market, not the eastern one. Since, no matter which way you go, the ones willing and able to lay down money for the game will do so, regardless of whom we pay in the end and that means; the money will end up in the pockets of the developer.

      Well, if it’s an all-ages version on steam, like dargoth already said, it’s a different matter. But do tell me, how would an all-ages version of MGQ be even look like? Nearly every encounter with a monster is already beyond any hope of getting through an inspection. xD

    • Grandork

      I always laugh at this part: “It’s true that fan-patches for visual novels means that fans might get to play the game in English, but we’re now in the age where official licenses are much more common, and quite more likely”. That’s why only an insignificant amount of VN, and usually those that are dirt cheap to purchase the license, are translated. I lost the count of how many great VN I would have not been able to read if it were not for fan translation. Hell, even for non-VN games there are a TON of great Japanese games that will never see the light of day in English (Mother anyone?) for many of reason, hell, GaijinWorks had to start with Summon Night 5, because of the nightmare of getting the license to the game.

      This also boggles my mind “Honestly, the truth is that those of us working in the industry would love to have those of you with talent and skill join us on this end”. Sure, and have to translate a lot of crappy Eroge, because that is what sells, instead of games that they are really interested in, because said games is too long, too expensive, not accessible, won’t sell well, or any other reason, and getting paid way below your market value for your skills, because it’s a passion market.

      Also, I have yet to see a translator going “Well, fuck that this game was licensed and they started translation, I will continue my fan one”. And what do they expect, for fan translator to look at a game released in 2010 and say “Oh geez, better not translate this great game, I’m sure eventually Jesus will dawn on the publisher and they will license this game to be translated”.

      And of course, MangaGamer is full of shit. Let’s look at a great example of why they are full of shit: Koihime Musou was first released in 2007, three years latter MangaGamer get the license and translate it, thus releasing it in 2012. Great, people loved it and were really excited for them to continue the series. I’m sure they had a lot of good reasons for why they couldn’t, either because it took to long, cost to much or can’t license, but for some reason they didn’t translate Shin Koihime † Musou ~Otome Ryouran ☆ Sangokushi Engi~, an alternate version of the first one that was also well received in Japan. People really wanted it to be released in English and got in contact will MangaGamer, when they didn’t give a positive answer, they created the The Shin Koihime Musou Translation Project, and started a campaign with translation in order to maybe spike some interest in them. Fast forward to today, they are about 70% into the rough translation, and still no word from MangaGamer that they are willing to get the license for said game. So the idea here is, you are harming potential sells that we may want to get in the possible future, even though there is a really strong possibility that it will never happen.

      So tell me MangaGamer, why hasn’t there been official translation of the Rance Saga? Or the really good Eushully games? Because they are technical nightmares and wouldn’t sell enough to pay for themselves. And how exactly would there ever be awareness to these games in the west without fan translation? Only reason some companies are translating games in English (NekoPara) is because they saw potential on all the people who fan translate and those who buy the JP game to play said translated game. The Fan Translators are the real heroes of the West Market for VN type game and you guys are saying for them to stop? Bitch, please.

      • eXitus

        As a sidenote, doesn’t mangagamer&co. only go for the VN’s which would be are already highly evaluated/are an VN from an accomplished developer/studio? In other words, 99.9% of the titles on dlsite (for example) ain’t even on their watchlist until these titles get an fantranslation and their popularity on the western front booms…

      • Grandork

        eXitus, not really. They go for VN that will bring in money. There are tons of VN that have great reputation, but the cost of License + Translation + Distribution is just not worth it. That is why half of their translations are crappy Eroge, that cost almost nothing to License and are easy to translate, plus they sell relatively well.

      • eXitus

        Which I don’t deny. After all, most titles I’ve seen on dlsite tend to a niche that isn’t really satisfied with the usual VN’s. MGQ is probably an prime example of that.

        So it would be a pretty risky move to go for these. Well, another problem is probably that official translations are sometimes worse than the fan ones. Which, in my oppinion’s true for Light Novels aswell. The problem isn’t even the quality of the translations, but the way they do their translations.

      • Anonymous

        Step 1: Japan makes great games.
        Step 2: No publisher will translate the games.
        Step 3: Fans translate the game for others to enjoy.
        Step 4: The market for the games increases with the popularity of the fan translations.
        Step 5: Publishers decide to get into the market.
        Step 6: Publishers can’t sell games that have already been translated.
        Step 7: Publishers accuse fan translators of hurting the market.

        I think they are forgetting that fan translations built the market they are trying to appeal to. I am all for official translations but until their supply can actually meet the demands they they are not loosing money to fan translations. They should get off their corporate high horse and actually discus which games they are going to translate than gripe about the ones they might maybe possibly translate someday if we are lucky.

      • eXitus

        The Main problem there is that they’re not transparent enough. If they actually put a list of games out, where they declare openly “These are the games we have interest in.”, “These are the games where we are in negotiations.” and “We are hopeful, but these games will not be possible in the foreseeable future.” This whole thing wouldn’t even be a debate, but that is kind of impossible I think. Company secrets and shit… Well, let them cry all they want. The world won’t stop turning for anybody.

      • khalayia

        um this my sound really silly but whats stopping a large group of fan translators getting together and officially translating games/vn’s etc? mangagamer can’t be the only official translating company?

      • Grandork

        Khalayia, quite a lot actually. First they have to be able get the license to translate the game they want to translate, then translate it, then market it and then sell it. Plus, they have to have an idea of how many copies they will sell vs how long it will take to translate it + cost of licensing. Having a business is not easy, not by a long shot.

    • Touka

      I’ve bought a few of the Touhou games and an eroges or two because they had English patches, I never would have bought them if they didn’t have one. Their assumption is bull.

      • Goo Guy

        Woah, Touhou 14 is going to have an official english release!?! I thought ZUN was against selling outside Japan?

      • Grandork

        Trolling or not, that is the position of Manga Gamer, a company that reaps the rewards of the fanbase created by fan translations.

      • eXitus

        Wikipedia says I’m wrong. But something there made me laugh… Quote:”MangaGamer has served as a mediator in talks between several fan translation groups and Japanese game companies that ended in deals made to officially release said translations through MangaGamer.”

    • CwHart

      Read my lips, MGQ will NEVER get an official license in the west. The translation they are using is the one rogue made which is a fan translation. The game itself hits too many red notes in the western world, vore, lolis. Luka looking like a shotacon. Toro is getting people to translate their work for free, and sure while that sux for people who want to translate for monetary gain, it’s not hurting Toro in any way, but helping them. Fuck whoever posted this shit.

      • Touka

        It doesn’t matter if it used a modified version or even a straight up rip of a fan translation, Toro included it in the game so it’s basically official.

      • Anonymous

        I remember someone saying that the official translation was completely different than Rogue’s. Anyone here seen it?

      • Anonymous

        When did Luka “look like a shotacon”? I don’t remember any scene where he seemed interested in young boys…

      • eXitus

        ??? I thought there were numerous critical bugs? Haven’t played 1.10 myself, but from what I read I got that impression…

      • Pyro

        It’s a minor fix for 1.10

        1.10.00 adds a TON of stuff

        1.10.01 fixes Sarah’s conversation — bug introduced in 1.10.00

        If it helps, think of it as follows for patches.

        1.x.x = Game 1 in the trilogy
        x.##.x = Major patches and/or content additions
        x.x.## = Minor patches such as spelling/grammar changes or minor crashes.

      • eXitus

        That much I know. I’m wondering why they mention only that one bug and nothing else. Normally this is where they say what else is going on, no?

        I really hope Dargoth won’t die of headaches with this project… I’d be down for the count by now. >.<

      • Pyro

        For the 1.10.01 patch, extract the file and place it into the patch folder containing the game version 1.10.00. If you have 1.01, 1.02, or 1.03 you need to re-download the latest package

        You’ll know the game data is 1.10 if in the root folder with the Game.exe you’ll see a 解説書v1.10.txt file with a Patch folder for you to place the file in.

      • Drawner

        Isn`t it a translating patch? I re-downloaded the game in 1.10 version but it`s wholly untranslated even with the file from your link

  127. Grandork

    With all these fixes, I wonder if Dargoth is just going to say “Screw it, I’m releasing the translation once I finish Illias Continen”.

  128. CwHart

    Dargoth, I wanted to drop my thoughts on something. While myself along with everyone else is itching to get their hands on an update, it’s clear toro toro is going to have a few more patches in the future. From what I understand with each patch you need to rework alot of shit to make the update work for that patch, so I was wondering why not hold off on any updates until the final patch is out? I don’t see the point in you overworking yourself any more then what you already are, and alot of that work can be focused on translating the game itself. Just my thought TBH, I don’t wanna tell you how to do things and am very grateful of you and the others working with you for taking ya’lls time to do this for us.

    • BlackWind

      Depending on how much work needs to go into a new patch it normally also be possible to release a patch ever so often say nearly every major patch with where ever the translation is at.

      however this is just my 2 cents i’m sure that yous have already disgust how to go about this and i’m grateful for all the effort that is going in to this.

      thank you and good luck with the translation 🙂

    • eXitus

      If that man sat before me in RL and started laughing like that, I’d have one of two possible reactions 1. I’d piss myself laughing. 2. I’d give him my best punch to shut him up. Depends on the situation, I guess?

    • A0

      I saw something similar a while back, but subtitled to refer to a hockey team. Basically, discussing minor gripes about the game … because we care about the franchise so much.

      In regards to the music from the first game, I thought most of it was open-use free stuff anyway.

      • ragm54

        Its a pretty famous clip from an old spanish TV show, Its even hard for spanish native speakers to understand what is he talking about.

  129. eXitus

    Umm some thought just hit me from nowhere – although it’s pretty late in the game and it should have hit me far sooner. Does anyone know if toro is planning for an official english translation of paradox? He did it for monmusu quest 1-3 after all… although I still think that rogues translation playd a big part in it.

    Knowing me, I’m probably only overthinking this and couldn’t be more wrong, but it’s making me anxious. <.<

    • CwHart

      The translation they are using is the fan one Rogue made. IDK if they ever will as long as fan translators do it.

      • I’ve heard of lots of people *assuming* it was Rogue’s, especially since Rogue apparently send it to TTR when he quit translating. But the only thing I read as an “I played it and can compare”-statement was someone who said that it was either an entirely new or at least heavily edited translation.

      • eXitus

        If that’s true, why doesn’t TTR make a news/statement? If he has a translator at hand, it would be the safest and easiest thing to do, to just say that there will be an official translation. ~_~

      • Anonymous

        “will be a translation”? Are you talking about the original MGQ or Paradox?
        If it’s about the original MGQ, I thought they announced it already. If it’s about Paradox, who knows whether they’re going to translate it? Just because they translated one doesn’t mean they’ll translate the other (though it raises the chances).

      • Anonymous

        Umm… “will be a translation”?
        Are you talking about original MGQ or Paradox?
        If you’re talking about the original – I thought they announced that. But then, I can’t read Japanese, so I can’t just check it.
        If it’s about Paradox, maybe they aren’t announcing anything because they have no plans to translate it yet?
        In any case, it’s not like they have a translator as part of their staff. They either paid a freelance translator to translate it, or they used Rogue’s translation. Neither guarantees that future games will be translated.

        Great. Can’t log in, couldn’t see my own reply, posted again, anonymous double post. I hate WordPress’ comment system >.<

      • eXitus

        I’m talking about paradox and if they have an translator, freelancer or otherwise, it would make the fantranslation something akward. And since TTR veils himself in silence in regards to the “official” english release of MGQ 1-3, we don’t know whether it’s an heavily edited version of rogues translation, or an complete new one. If it’s only heavily edited, one can assume that that’s the only thing TTR will do towards an english version of his games. But if it’s a real new translation, one has to assume that the likelihood of the same happening to paradox is pretty good.

      • Anonymous

        What does it matter whether there will be an official translation?
        MGQ’s translation – both the one by Rogue and the one (commissioned?) by TTR, whether they’re the same or not – was handed out for free. No one made or lost any money.
        Dargoth also hands his translation out for free. Unless TTR decides “I want extra money for an English version” (which they didn’t before), TTR won’t loose any money, either.

        So, the only “awkward” question would be whether Dargoth’s translation is redundant.
        Which it is not. Who knows when, or if, an official English version will be released? At the very least, Dargoth’s trans allows to partially play the game before an official English version is released. That means even if an official version would be released, Dargoth’s version wasn’t pointless.

    • CwHart

      What the above poster said, TBH if Toror concerned themselves with fan translations they would translate paradox now and not focus on the older games just yet.

  130. Daeryu

    Hey Dargoth, I posted a couple of times in the /vg/ thread about being interested in helping with translation – but I didnt get a reply. Anyway, I spent 6 months in Japan last year and am around N3-N2 level in Japanese. Figured I might be able to help with something. If you think I could help with my limited Japanese, tell me how I can start.

      • Hey Dargoth. I was wondering wether or not youre gonna keep releasing patches every now and then, or wait until part one is finished by Toro and then just release the entire thing all at once?

        Cheers!

      • DungeonMasterBobbySmith

        Hey Dargoth,
        anonfiles is down and I was wondering if you would please post an alternitive link to patch (depositfiles, faststore, or datafiles) . My piece of shit compter is not able to download from mega.co.

  131. Suzaku

    Argh. Just looked trough all the pictures to see what all the fuss is about, turned out to be a bad idea. Giving this Xelvy artist so much freedom… damn what were they thinking? He must be pretty cheap compared to other artists.
    I wasn’t that disgusted since someone sent me the one guy one jar video a few years ago. If this guy continues to draw the lionshare of the scenes i will probably not bother with part 2 or part 3. Sure the plot and the gameplay of the game are decent so far and the characters are mostly likeable, but for me the nature of the scenes is the most important part of an eroge. The sex scenes are what distinguish this game from other rpgs and if most of them are between “blegh” and “im gonna cut my eyes out” you are left with a average rpg at best, and that is really sad.

    • Anonymous

      Wow, you are really playing this game from the wrong angle if you even consider not playing the other parts just because of one artist you don’t like. I would play the game even if every single artwork was drawn by my least favorite artist in the game, that is because I enjoy the story the most.
      Xelvy has drawn 13 entires (by checking the monsterpedia) from a total of about 135+ entires which is not so many. Like it or not he is here to stay.

      • Anonymous

        Find and/or be better artist, Decrypt game, and replace artwork… If the scenes aren’t to liking then get rpg maker vx ace, put a project file in the directory, and do some edits or figure out how Dargoth is search/replace content. Give the mod a good name, share, and the people will love you; When in doubt mod it out

    • Stoche

      As much as the cyborgs and shit are a turn off for me (When I first got to Part 3 I was just thinking what the hell, is this all there is now?) I would still play Part 2 & 3 of Paradox. As strange as some may find it since it is an eroge after all… I play MGQ mainly for the story, of course I also enjoy the h-content to. Though if there’s a repeat of Part 3 later on I really will be playing MGQ, an eroge, for the story alone lmfao

    • Dsfargeg

      Couldn’t disagree more. Monster girls are now boring, vanilla. Monstrous girls like xelvy’s are the next level.

      I did something wrong, but I don’t know what it is yet. Any ideas?

  139. so, stupid question most likely but im new to this so sorry in advance, but do i need to download the Japanese language pack first, then the game + this english pack to make it work? or can i just skip the japanese pack?

    Hey Dargoth, the link for downloading the full translation patch of Monster Girl Quest part 2 is down on rogue’s site. I am cautious of other download links on the web. Can you provide a link for download?
