“None of you seem to understand. Im not locked here with you, you’re locked in here in here with me”

My newest obsession is this game and all its sexy pale ass elf boys! Romanced Haron first (unabashed pure adoration omg), then Ernol (I bullied him into loving me and his love like a dam unleashed and I will happily drown) and now Laceaga as I type this (cheeky bastard will love me I swear unto you). Will do the rest over the weekend.

@underbliss thank you I love you you’re amazing!

Reverie: Ebon Light Walkthrough

This guide is still under construction.

Edit about the title: I was around in the very beginning when it was called Reverie: Ebon Light. I can change it if you guys find it confusing. Lemme know.

This is a guide for Ebon Light by @underbliss. You can download the game at https://underbliss.itch.io/ebon-light

 I’ve been following this game since 2018 and some of my friends began to show an interest in it, so I figured I’d do the world a favor and make a guide.

The order of this guide will be stats, a review of the sort of prologue, Vadyen’s route, Laceaga’s route, Haron’s route, Ernol’s route, and finally Duliae’s route. I will briefly cover the what happens if you don’t want to date anyone as well.

First let’s talk about your character stats. The stats are important because they unlock certain options for you in the future. You can get through any of the routes with each of the dispositions, but I’ve found there are dispositions I prefer more for each route. Alternatively, you don’t have to romance any of the characters. That’s one of the nice things about this game. 

Character Stats

You characters has 4 core stats: cunning, curiosity, charm, tenacity. 

Cunning: a stat that goes up if you play smart, have a smooth way with words, and manipulate others.

Curiosity: a stat that goes up if you ask questions every chance you get. 

Charm: this stat was hard to figure out since options that seem like they might get your charm up, get your amity up instead. To get this stat up you need to play nice, be pleasant with others, and be okay with entertaining them

Tenacity: I’d say this is the easiest stat to understand. To get it up you have to never give up. Be sure of yourself, of your success. Be a fighter. 

These stats can only improve. They do not change if there are under a certain amount. The stats that do change are:

Amity: Amity is basically how peaceful you are. Make enough choices that aren’t peaceful and this stat will change and become discord. From what I’ve experienced, it doesn’t matter that much if you have it in discord. Sometimes, certain romanceable characters will have choices that you need amity for.

Desire: Desire is your desire for change. Do you take initiative to change things? This is helpful when you are trying to take advantage of the fracture, or trying to charm Lorne, but again, it’s okay if you don’t have high desire. If you choose enough choices that are nonchalant, this stat will change and become inertia. I try to have this stat up when doing Haron and Ernol’s routes.

Virtue: Virtue is what it sounds like; how morally upstanding you are. If you act with loose morals, this stat will become vice. Again, I’m not quite sure if it really matters, but I try to have this stat up when I’m doing Vadeyn’s route.

Daring: Again, it’s what it sounds like. How willing to face danger are you? How brave are you? This turns into timid if you act as such.

Faith: This is how trusting you are. I’m always trusting when I’m doing Vadeyn’s route. In general, it’s good to have a little faith. This will turn to doubt if you act suspicious of everyone. 

Charity: This is basically how kind you are, how selfless. This turns into malice when you are mean spirited. 

Might: Might is how weak you are both physically and mentally. If you stumble when physically attacked, rely on other too much and act helpless, this stat will turn into frailty. 

Grip: This is a very important one. At the beginning it is called rest. This changes after you come to the island. Grip is basically how much grip you have over the Cuthintal. Also how sane you are. Act in manners that display no grip over your power, and this changes to madness. The only time this really comes into play is during battles. If you get a lot of grip, this stat will change to haunt.

Prologue

The game is designed so you can get a good ending with the disposition of your choosing. That being said, For Duliae’s route I highly recommend choosing cunning as your disposition. Choices that don’t affect your stats will be left out of the guide.

“And what was I to take from this miserable little tale, [name]?”

Never trust anyone: this will lower your faith and will make it turn into doubt.

Fools make foolish oaths: from what I could see, it doesn’t affect any of your stats significantly. 

Darkness cannot be sealed away: this will lower your desire and make it turn into inertia.

Nothing: from what I could see, this doesn’t affect any of your stats significantly.

Just passing the time: again, I don’t think this one does anything.

“Well... I’m not sure.”

You’re not sure where you stole it?: this will decrease your faith and amity.

“Besides, do you really care where I got it?”

Yes!: this will increase your virtue.

Well... no.: this will decrease your virtue.

“And there’s Rylen to consider, of course”

Try to haggle: this option is only significant if you chose the cunning disposition. It won’t affect your stats. If you haggle with him you gain 5 trin. Trin actually doesn’t matter and I will explain why later.

Decline: does nothing but opens up another option for you to reconsider or decline again.

“Rylen turned to leave.”

I was happy to let him leave as quickly as he wanted: does nothing but opens up other options which do affect your stats:

Agree to come willingly: I don’t think this does anything

Ebon Light’s Worst

There are not words to describe the face I make when Duliae shows up on screen. 

[infiniteanalemma]

Laceaga Darhal from @underbliss's Ebon Light, under the cut because it's kinda large.

There he is, the jerkface. ❤

[meirasthing]

Guess who’s been replaying the Ebon Light demo by @underbliss again. This bitch, this bitch right here. 

[lookin-v-ghaalian-today]

[wiggilyswiggily]

It’s come to my attention that I have to romance Laceaga again. I think i’ve grown to hate him too much and I need to reignite the love I once had for him.
