− | + | <blockquote>Nearly a year ago, you set off on your own, leaving your former life behind to seek your fortunes on the wild frontier — a year of traveling, exploring, fighting, and surviving alone. You've earned yourself a little coin in your travels, enough to book passage to the furthest reaches of the known world: the Frost Marches.</blockquote> | |
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | Welcome to Corruption of Champions 2! We hope you're ready to hit the ground running, because a Marethian [[Kasyrra|demon]] has been unleashed on this post-apocalyptic world and you're apparently the only one who can stop her. | ||
==Getting Started== | ==Getting Started== | ||
− | So you're fresh out of [[Character Creation]] and have been dumped in the Frost Hound with the | + | So you're fresh out of [[Character Creation]] and have been dumped in the Frost Hound with the small task of saving [[Savarra]]. Here are a few tips to help you on your way. |
− | * | + | * Shops in [[Hawkethorne]] are available right away, so you can upgrade your starting equipment and dump any items you don't need. The way the game is set up, the generic equipment you pick up here will be usable for the rest of the game. And you ''do'' want to upgrade your [[Comfortable Clothes]] and fill out your equipment slots, it's difficult to save the world in a t-shirt. |
− | * | + | * There are two powerful companions available on Day 1, [[Cait]] in the [[The Frost Hound|Frost Hound]] and [[Brint]] at the entrance to the [[Old Forest]]. Don't go adventuring without a full party. |
− | * | + | * [[Transformative Items|Transformations]] are a major part of the franchise, and this game has a helpful system to keep from needing to save-scum. For a small fee, [[Ivris]] can set you up with reagents to localize transformative items, so you can get the body parts you're looking for. |
− | * | + | * The game encourages a healthy sleep cycle. As you level up, you get timed sleeping bonuses that reset once you get your eight hours, and there are various events that can only take place when you're back at home base. |
− | * | + | * You have storage at the tavern, and there are opportunities in the world to increase it. [[Garth]] might be selling a small chest, for example. You won't have enough room to keep every unique item you find though, so prioritize. |
+ | * The areas from easiest to hardest are ordered something like: [[Old Forest]], [[Harvest Valley]] (North), [[Foothills]], [[Harvest Valley]] (South), [[Frostwood]], [[Glacial Rift]], [[Undermountain]]. It doesn't ''really'' matter what order you hit the starting areas in, though a little red skull in the map interface will let you know if the game thinks you should be at a higher level. | ||
+ | * Hostile areas such as above have bosses or boss quests, and disposing of them makes it easier to '''Explore''' without being swarmed by enemies. They will be '''bolded''' in the area encounters. | ||
+ | * '''You can unlock the [[Ways Between]] (fast travel) in the area just past the [[Old Forest]].''' Hint hint. | ||
+ | * If you're having trouble winning battles, there are a few things you can do. You can use the Sense action, you can level up, or you can switch out your abilities, equipment, or companions. Failing all that, you can just change the difficulty to Story. | ||
+ | * Use [[Trail Rations]] daily to give yourself the [[Well Fed]] status. You regenerate half the health you lose during a fight, and Well Fed doubles that, so you'll get full regen post-battle, as long as you don't flee combat. | ||
+ | * And finally, '''read'''. We on the Wiki, [https://forum.fenoxo.com/ Forums], and Discord (link available in [https://www.fenoxo.com/backers-coc2-companion-updates/ blog posts]) are happy to answer your questions. However, most questions are also answered in the text if you'd like to save yourself some time. | ||

Because this game isn't about smut, it's about metagaming the strongest build possible. Or at least getting an edge on the battle that's giving you trouble. | Because this game isn't about smut, it's about metagaming the strongest build possible. Or at least getting an edge on the battle that's giving you trouble. | ||
− | * | + | * Generally speaking, you want to pick three main [[stats]] and stick with those. Your [[Classes|class]] will give you recommendations, and you can read how combat works in the Codex. Once you're set with the basics, you can mix and match, see what happens when you give your [[Warrior]] some Willpower. |
− | * | + | * [[Garth]] sells stat boons for a small amount of electrum. You can use that to boost a fourth stat of yours for 24 hours, just make sure you keep coming back to the bar. |
− | * Trainers | + | * [[Powers|Trainers]] are available on-hand to teach you abilities from different classes. [[Garth]] ([[Warrior]]/[[Thief]]), [[Ivris]] ([[Black Mage]]), [[River]] ([[Charmer]]), [[Brother Sanders]] ([[White Mage]]), and [[Leorah]] (assorted ranged abilities) will be happy to instruct you for a modest fee. |
− | * | + | * It's worth experimenting. Resetting your attribute increases, learning new talents, even changing class is all affordable. So don't feel like you're stuck as a [[White Mage]] because that's what you started at. |
− | ==Hawkethorne== | + | ==[[Hawkethorne]]== |

+ | ** [[Imps]]: A classic CoC enemy, back again to be generally nasty little things. | ||

+ | ** [[Meira]]: One of [[Lady Evergreen]]'s daughters is causing trouble stealing inches off of people's dicks. Of course, that means she has plenty to give you if you agree to play her game. | ||

+ | *** [[The Princess Blade]]: After you've done some activities around the den, you discover your fox-daughter [[Kinu]] has had some adventures of her own while you're out. | ||
+ | ** [[In Her Footsteps]]: [[Kasyrra]] has been waiting for you, but first she wants to introduce you to [[Imps|her little friends]]. | ||
+ | ** [[Inheriter of the Idols]]: Look, it's fast travel. If you talk to [[Lady Evergreen]] you can get fast travel. It's a massive quality of life improvement. | ||

+ | You're moving up in the world! To turn the Wayfort into your very own fortress, you need someone to facilitate repairs. The [[Winter City]] will offer you a barony and assistance overhauling the crumbling ruin, or you can use the resources of someone less trustworthy as long as you kept them around.

Latest revision as of 20:03, 20 September 2024
Nearly a year ago, you set off on your own, leaving your former life behind to seek your fortunes on the wild frontier — a year of traveling, exploring, fighting, and surviving alone. You've earned yourself a little coin in your travels, enough to book passage to the furthest reaches of the known world: the Frost Marches.
Welcome to Corruption of Champions 2! We hope you're ready to hit the ground running, because a Marethian demon has been unleashed on this post-apocalyptic world and you're apparently the only one who can stop her.
Getting Started
So you're fresh out of Character Creation and have been dumped in the Frost Hound with the small task of saving Savarra. Here are a few tips to help you on your way.
- Shops in Hawkethorne are available right away, so you can upgrade your starting equipment and dump any items you don't need. The way the game is set up, the generic equipment you pick up here will be usable for the rest of the game. And you do want to upgrade your Comfortable Clothes and fill out your equipment slots, it's difficult to save the world in a t-shirt.
- There are two powerful companions available on Day 1, Cait in the Frost Hound and Brint at the entrance to the Old Forest. Don't go adventuring without a full party.
- Transformations are a major part of the franchise, and this game has a helpful system to keep from needing to save-scum. For a small fee, Ivris can set you up with reagents to localize transformative items, so you can get the body parts you're looking for.
- The game encourages a healthy sleep cycle. As you level up, you get timed sleeping bonuses that reset once you get your eight hours, and there are various events that can only take place when you're back at home base.
- You have storage at the tavern, and there are opportunities in the world to increase it. Garth might be selling a small chest, for example. You won't have enough room to keep every unique item you find though, so prioritize.
- The areas from easiest to hardest are ordered something like: Old Forest, Harvest Valley (North), Foothills, Harvest Valley (South), Frostwood, Glacial Rift, Undermountain. It doesn't really matter what order you hit the starting areas in, though a little red skull in the map interface will let you know if the game thinks you should be at a higher level.
- Hostile areas such as above have bosses or boss quests, and disposing of them makes it easier to Explore without being swarmed by enemies. They will be bolded in the area encounters.
- You can unlock the Ways Between (fast travel) in the area just past the Old Forest. Hint hint.
- If you're having trouble winning battles, there are a few things you can do. You can use the Sense action, you can level up, or you can switch out your abilities, equipment, or companions. Failing all that, you can just change the difficulty to Story.
- Use Trail Rations daily to give yourself the Well Fed status. You regenerate half the health you lose during a fight, and Well Fed doubles that, so you'll get full regen post-battle, as long as you don't flee combat.
- And finally, read. We on the Wiki, Forums, and Discord (link available in blog posts) are happy to answer your questions. However, most questions are also answered in the text if you'd like to save yourself some time.
Builds and Optimisation
Because this game isn't about smut, it's about metagaming the strongest build possible. Or at least getting an edge on the battle that's giving you trouble.
- Generally speaking, you want to pick three main stats and stick with those. Your class will give you recommendations, and you can read how combat works in the Codex. Once you're set with the basics, you can mix and match, see what happens when you give your Warrior some Willpower.
- Garth sells stat boons for a small amount of electrum. You can use that to boost a fourth stat of yours for 24 hours, just make sure you keep coming back to the bar.
- Trainers are available on-hand to teach you abilities from different classes. Garth (Warrior/Thief), Ivris (Black Mage), River (Charmer), Brother Sanders (White Mage), and Leorah (assorted ranged abilities) will be happy to instruct you for a modest fee.
- It's worth experimenting. Resetting your attribute increases, learning new talents, even changing class is all affordable. So don't feel like you're stuck as a White Mage because that's what you started at.
Hawkethorne
The platform from which your great heroism (or villainy) will be launched. While you will later pick up allies, resources, and fortifications, it all starts here.
- Potential Companions
- Cait is waiting to talk to you in The Frost Hound and is available from the start.
- Atugia is up at the castle with The Baroness, but she'll come to town to visit you pretty soon.
- Locations
- Abandoned Temple: It's in bad shape after the tutorial, but progress through the game and someone will take interest in the real estate soon enough.
- Temple of Mallach: If you help Cait with her project, the broken-down temple will be replaced with a surprisingly luxurious temple to the Prince of Passion.
- Castle Hawkstone: The Baroness lives in a crumbling wreck of a castle overlooking the town. She keeps to herself, but may be available if you seek an audience with her.
- Chapel of Velun: Brother Sanders runs the chapel, and can be reached during visiting hours for healing, blessing, or just friendly conversation.
- The Frost Hound: Like any RPG, you'll find everything you need in the trusty tavern. Garth is at the bar to hand out quests, your companions will be chilling here when they're not adventuring with you, and don't forget the motley assortment of guests.
- Hawkethorne Gym: Look, you know you can't save the world without first getting those gains. Garth will have it fixed up before long so you can pump some iron.
- Hawkethorne Nursery: Out behind the tavern, Garth's daughter Gwyn has opened a nursery where you can leave your children while you're saving the world. It's not much to look at now but she is accepting donations.
- River: If you want to change your name or title, the catfolk bard in the town square will run from door to door across the Frost Marches to make it happen.
- Abandoned Temple: It's in bad shape after the tutorial, but progress through the game and someone will take interest in the real estate soon enough.
- Shops
- Alchemist's Shop: Ivris has everything you need to supplement your magical abilities or transform yourself into the chimera you were always meant to be.
- Desire Stylists and Tattoos: Aurera & Claire sell cosmetic changes to decorate your appearance screen.
- Huntress's Shop: Leorah owns a place where you can buy hunting gear, and learn archery if you do a favour for her.
- Ogrish's Smithy: Ogrish is a friendly smith with arms and armour for the aspiring adventurer.
- Under- and Over-clothes: Nelia will sell you what you need to literally charm the pants off of your enemies.
- Quests and Events
- Attitude Adjustment: Encourage Quintillus to push himself and develop new combat skills.
- Caparison Hunter: Sugo, a friendly centaur you meet in the Old Forest, needs an important piece of equipment to help fit in.
- Divine Pussy: After you've helped with her problems, Cait has an idea on how she can help spread Mallach's love in Hawkethorne.
- Father Where Art Thou?: Once you're on friendly terms with the Kervus Warcamp, a friendly young orcess will come by the tavern on an important mission.
- High Ground: Once you've completed Winter Wolf, Brother Sanders offers you a quest to retrieve a Lumian relic.
- Matiha's Revenge: Once you've brought Berwyn back to town and finished Act 1, someone comes by looking for the dogboy mage with news of Matiha.
- Nothing Like Housework: If you convince Ninian to live in the relative safety of Hawkethorne, he needs some help setting up his new home.
- One Man's Poison: Leorah is fiending for Wyvern Venom and is willing to teach you some bow skills, if you'll go and get it for her.
- Spidernets: Nelia might be able to sell you a special item if you gather some resources for her.
- Twin Rings: After you've had some dreams and find yourself wandering Hawkethorne at night, you can have the chance to thwart a slaver and receive rare items.
- Quintessentials: Quintillus needs some equipment if he's going to go adventuring with you, and he's a little light on funds at the moment.
- Winterstem for Aurera: If you're going to get in with the stylists they need something to set the mood first.
Old Forest
The recommended starting area. With the recent goings on, the forest has become a lot less friendly, and a lot more filled with people who want to 'victory sex' you. (Level 1)
- Potential Companions
- Brint is at the entrance to the forest and can be recruited upon meeting him.
- Azyrran is to the north, just before the Wayfort. She might be willing to join you after the corruption in her hive is dealt with.
- Viviane can be recruited for a science experiment with Succubus Milk once you have some. It's dangerous material, and Viv might need a heads up about what she's dealing with. Or not...
- Mobs
- Corrupted Lupines: A nice group of wolf-men who just want to take you home and meet their friends. (Post-the Alraune)
- Effigies: Sexually aggressive plants roam the forest looking for friends to play with, and have information on the corruption plaguing the forest.
- Eryka: A paladin of Velun has been waylaid after an encounter with Kasyrra and could use some help. (Day 3+)
- Forest Kitsune: A trio of wildlings have been trapped in the forest and are desperate for sustenance. They can be friend or foe, depending on whether you're willing to help. (Level 2+)
- Hornets: Giggly hornet bimbos set on egging you. They may stop being so aggressive if you take steps to address the corruption.
- Hive Knights: Once you've cleared Land of Milky Honey, the hornets are replaced with knights. Their purity or corruption depends on your actions during the quest.
- Ninian: A feisty yet ultimately harmless fairy who wants to rob you. Talk to him and you may be able to convince him to give up his thieving ways.
- Painted Demon: After defeating Winter City, they start appearing in the world. They're seeking out travellers to waylay and turn into more demons like them. (Act 2)
- Valkyrie Hunts: Once you've completed Shadows Over the Sun, you can join valkyries hunting a Cave Bear or Frost Elk.
- Wolves: Unusually aggressive wolves who want your food.
- Wyld Elf Band: Drunken revellers looking for new friends. They're happy to welcome you into their merriment, though who tops or bottoms depends on a friendly sparring match.
- Encounters
- Alraune: Deep in the forest, the mother of the effigies receives fertilisation from those unfortunate enough to be captured by her daughters. See In Her Footsteps.
- Drifa: A young lay priestess from town who's set out to try and rescue the Corrupted Lupines. You can stumble across her and intercede before she gets into trouble. (Act 2)
- Dryads: Grainne is stealthily following you around the forest, and may introduce you to her sisters/guardians Doireann and Orlaith.
- Elf Boy: A young man with a horse cock that needs attention.
- Fountain Goddess: A fountain statue that bestows purity and boons.
- Kitsune Camp: If you help the Forest Kitsune you can be invited to their camp to sleep over.
- Ruined Shrine: A mysterious shrine deep in the forest. Solve gem puzzles for some loot and an amulet belonging to a mysterious kitsune who may visit you in your dreams.
- Sugo: A pretty boy centaur has gotten himself stuck and needs a hand getting free.
- Witch Set: A set of clothes just waiting for someone to pick them up. If you keep the clothes, their owner may take an interest in you.
- Viviane: A forest witch who can sell you some interesting magic items, teach you how to summon a wolf, and help your companions accessorise.
- Settlements
- Hornet Hive: You can visit Azyrran's home once you've completed her quest, for good or ill.
- Kiyoko's Home: Once you've freed Kiyoko from the amulet, she and her kits get to work renovating the Ruined Shrine.
- Quests and Events
- Be Witched: You need a magical expert crazy enough to work with corrupted materials. Viviane is up for it, but be careful with exposing her to demonic essence.
- Convocation of Mirrors: A very large and intimidating woman, Sigrune, is guarding an archway. You will probably need to come back at a higher level to get past her.
- Dog Days: Garth's son, Garret, has gone missing while investigating loggers trapped in a logging camp. Insert yourself into the situation to resolve it peacefully - or not.
- I Ain't Afraid of No Ghost: One of your companions wants help fighting ghosts. Viviane might be able to help.
- In Her Footsteps: Kasyrra has flown north, and you will need to fight through her servant the Alraune to follow (bring fire!). After the battle you can end the source of the forest's corruption... or bend her to your will.
