Some scenes for Lumia’s chosen folk this week — both the fertile orcs you know and love and a radiant new friend who’ll soon lead you to her goddess’s keep.
0.5.20 Patch Notes:
- After doing GweyrQuest (all 3 parts) and Calise’s first quest, Sanders will give you a quest to go check in on the Valkyries of the Glacial Rift. Head up there and pick a fight to meet a valkyrie in the flesh! (by Alypia)
- Infrith needs milking if she’s far along in her pregnancy. Hretha will as well if she’s similarly gravid. (by Gardeford)
- Arona has a pair of small new scenes that proc if either you or she is low on HP when you interact with her; the scene for her being low-HP is for SubArona only and the one for the PC being low is for lover!Arona only (Go take a bath with her in Khor’minos if you haven’t yet!).
- New Bust: Annika the Valkyrie (Lionpaws), Ice Trolls (by Moira)
- New CG: Annika’s introduction (by Aeryn)

Yooooooooo ANNIKA BABY!
😀 😀
Hmmm, I must say, besides Arona
I’m not invested into the orcs in general, orcs never been a race I’m particularly into fantasy stories/games
That sentiment is undeniably extended to this game
Buy hey, to each their own, I’m sure there are bunch of people who love them big and green folks
By the way, just a quick question.
Considering Kiros makes us permanently a Kitsune
Is it fair to assume that Lumia makes us a winged icy elf?
I mean, I never tried it, but I imagine it’s achievable via transformative itemes
afaik the valkerie god tf will give us fancy unique wings and probably lock us into mandated female presentation. Though i dont think it’s out yet, so Idk what’s confirmed and what’s still up in the air.
Mandated female presentation and some sort of wings – either giant dove’s wings or magical ones like Annika’s. Otherwise, can be whatever race you want to be (apart from another godsworn of course).
So it’s going to be less transformation restrictive than being soulbound to Keros? I’m assuming a minimum stat lock for things like femininity, hips, butt, breasts, etc. plus Wings, instead of the racial lock on all body parts (excluding genitals) that Keros brings.
Why would Alypia write the dialogue for the dark knight personality like the champ is a bratty teenager? That was honestly painful to read.
Not a backer so I can’t judge this content yet, but I do kinda agree that the Dark Knight stuff is definitely of variable quality. Sometimes it’s “still a good guy but rude”, sometimes it’s “basically the lesser of two evils”, and sometimes it’s “wow, this is so edgy I nearly cut myself on it”.
But hey, I’m getting free porn where I get to customize the POV character to my liking, so I can’t complain overmuch.
It’s actually very amusing to read the dialogues with dark knight personality
I imagine a non corrupted MC would sound much more sympathetic and careful with words
Which honestly in games, I like it when the MC is very blunt and sometimes rude in edgy ways
I’d characterize DK PC in the Annika scene more as “selfishly snarky”. Amusement and a little contempt at the valkyries’ predicament, exasperation at their inability to solve their own problem, insistence on payment for services rendered if the PC decides to help. There are a lot of reasons why players go DK – antihero, genuine villain, dorky edgelord, brat, helplessly corrupted sub – but a certain amount of selfishness is key to all of them, because the canonical thing that corruption does to a PC is erode their empathy.
To be fair, I *have* written DK PC as a brat, but only when there’s some kind of affirmative decision that the player makes to guide me in that direction. If a player goes DK but still does romantic stuff with Etheryn and makes her Confident, I feel like that’s a mixture of genuine tough love and, when she’s assertively affectionate (because she’s Confident Ryn and she’s in love), a little bit of tsundere back at her. On the other hand, when DK PC seizes the corrupted Dawnsword, I felt justified in giving them a “yessss, the power is flowing through me, I am crushing this thing beneath my heel” moment. It’s mostly dependent on context.
Unfortunately, when people write characters like DK PC, no matter how you flavor the Dark Knight-iness, somebody is going to think it’s cringe. Kind of the nature of the beast.
I would never deny that antihero character types run the risk of being edgy and cringe. But that’s on the writer if they come off as such.
Because of that I’m actually a bit surprised that you would include the “brat” and “dorky edgelord” in your list of possible character subtypes for the DK. As pubescent teens will most likely seem cringe to a lot of adults. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
Oh, “dorky edgelord” and “brat” are absolutely draws for some adult players. The former is…well, it’s arguably the dominant form of “playing evil” in video games and RPGs right now, although YMMV if you think that that stuff is dorky or intimidating. Two sides of the same coin, IMO. As for “brat”, remember: this is a porn game. Of course there’s going to be a big chunk of the player base who wants to act bratty.
But, of course, not all of that is going to work for everybody.
Anyway: I don’t *think* that I leaned too far toward “brat” in the Annika encounter, but I understand that you feel that way, and I’ll keep a close eye on that aspect of my writing going forward.
I got the quest from Sanders but in Glacial Rift no Valkyrie there I have been spamming explore/pick fight every tile nothing showing up what am I doing wrong?
I found it just by walking around, not spamming any buttons. When you find it, choose “Ivestigate”.
I couldn’t get it to show up until i lowered my corruption to pure.
Yep it worked thans but it seems we can’t interact her after the meeting thats a bummer.
This patch was pretty much an introduction to her and Lumina’s plight
I imagine in the near future we’ll see patches that expand on this questline
I’m not able to find it even with pure, are there any other conditions? I have the quest.
Do Calise Quest then be sure there is no Winter Wolf quest on journal as soon as I finished it by making Gweyr come back the town first step into rift spawned her encounter.
Have you completed Winter Wolf yet?
To be a little clearer:
Annika will not spawn unless the player has finished the Abyssal Depths dungeon in Winter Wolf. You should not need to make Gweyr come back to town. Just defeat the lureling et al.
Sanders does give the player the breadcrumb for the quest if you’ve either finished Winter Wolf or handled the smugglers in CaliseQuest, but the breadcrumb isn’t necessary to progress the quest; in fact, his conversation changes depending on how far you’ve gotten in LumiaQuest before you talk to him, and in future patches, once the whole thing is in, it’ll be possible to have finished the whole thing before you talk to him. Then he’ll be all “well I *was* worried, but damn you kicked some ass and really handled that! nice work”.
I had to get Gweyr back to town before it would spawn for me. You can collect the quest, but won’t be able to encounter her.
What are the requirements to get the bathe scene with Arona in Khor’Minos? I can’t get it to trigger
She should just need to be in the party with you. It’s a fairly old scene; you may have already triggered it.
they are going to put a cheat panel like in the other game?
No.
ngl im not looking forward to having to wade through TOB’s verbal diarrhea to access new smut.
I swear if there was someone in the team who’s dedicated job was to just edit The Observer’s scenes to like half their usual length, he’d be the best writer on the team.
Coc2 would be great without TOB’s writing
That’s really harshly said. But I do agree. I thought I was the only one not liking TOBS writing. Everybody I see are raving about the Kitsune stuff and his stories.
But to me, his scenes are way too wordy for no reasons. We don’t need to know every single thing that happened to a character in their life until now. Heck, even during the sex scenes, characters tend to go on a tangent and think or say things that takes me out of the moment. I prefer when we go right to the point, with a little fluff but not too much.
Personally, I really dislike Kyoko, the kitsune stuff and most of TOBS’ scenes for that reason. I actually tend to not even try to read them, I just avoid his stuff unless it’s required. If the texts were more condensed, and less stylized, especially during sex scenes, it would be much better for me.
And don’t even get me started on “A nod”. That is not good writing imo. Tell us that they are nodding with a full sentence. And even so, every single character nods an immense amount of time in every scene. It would be better to find another way to tell they agree to something. By them saying so, or just the other characters continuing to speak without needing an approval. Look at real life. Some people might nod a lot, sure. But it’s their personality. Most people don’t.
Anyway, I started this post saying the other person was harsh and I’m just as harsh, if not more, only in way more words. I apologize to TOBS if my post seems insulting, it was not my intention. I only wanted to give some constructive criticism but I understand you might not need it, since as I’ve said before, most people I see like your writing. This is only my opinion.
Keep on making the majority happy! (but of course, I’d like to be happy too. Maybe someday 🙂 )
Think the harshest I’ve seen is people wishing/demanding that Tobs be fired and all of his work on the game either ripped out entirely or kept but rewrote/edited. Besides, most of the people that hate the kitsune and almost everything else Tobs has wrote have either left and complain about it on other sites or gave up, stayed silent, and just avoid it like the plague.
I’m not a huge fan of the Kitsunes but that’s because they have no futas.. oh and because GILF isnt fuckable.
I’m pretty sure both of those things are being rectified by other writers actually. IIrc Wsan may be doing Komari scenes in the distant future and Savin has a futa kitsune OC that he may port to the game.
Small finding on my part, a bug I assume
Anyhow, the game crushes if you try to take a peak at the profile of our first living Valkyrie NPC
Fixed for next release.
hope to use new skill for lvl 7 8 and 10 that i have gotten soon or at lest 1 of them
Looks very cool. I am wondering if they’re going to do Cassia and Rina content. like a quest or something
So, over in the Patreon Comments someone said the Valkyrie Quest auto-fails if you’re high corruption? is that correct and/or intended?
Certainly not intended.
The issue has been identified and will be fixed in the next release.
Loved Annika and hot damn for bimbo champs.. Kudos to her extremely talented writer Aly.
Looking forward to this I still wanna finish up the problems in the rift.
So happy to get more lore along with the update, I’ve been craving a definitive answer for what exactly “wraith-touched” means for so long now.
Oh that gets touched up on in this coming update? Consider me intrigued even more than I already was.
i was pretty excited, till i actually got to the content. just not into women who lack vaginas. for me, annika is going into the ryn “did their content for completions sake and dont interact with anymore” box.
as to the dark knight stuff, perhaps that should be a background option or something, and not tied to corruption. my champion isnt a brat, they just have an addiction to orcish virility boosters.
There’s a new elf lady that doesn’t have a vagina? Hot damn, can’t wait for next public patch. Is she buff?
She is very buff~
Awesome. Is she a sub with a smoll pp? I have a weakness for strong, confident women that have an unimpressive member and are secretly subby.
Thanks for writing Ryn, by the way (I assume). She is a little cinnamon bun that must be protected and cared for.
Ryn is Savin’s character! I just help him out a bit; I did her sleep-withs, the dildo and service top scenes, the Festivus stuff for her, the nursing stuff, and the Maid Jael’yn threesome where you and Ryn both ride lorge elf. But I agree: Ryn is the bestest of beans and I love her dearly.
As for Annika, she is neither a sub nor a smol pp-haver. But! If Champ is willing to catch and let her lead, she may do the same for Champ, too~!
Don’t worry; there are other valkyries you can meet after LumiaQuest who *don’t* have penises.
It’s not possession of a penis that’s the problem, for me. that’s fine. that’s why i was careful with the phrasing, “lack of a vagina.”
Uh… I fucked Nyzerrah before purifying the honey gem in the “land of milky honey” quest, and now my character’s chest inflates whenever I make a crit hit, meaning it gets avg. 3 cup increase every battle.
Is this suppose to happen? If so, is there a way to permanently stop it? I’m currently running a male crit-build character, and I would like to keep this character flat-chested if possible. FYI, I lowered the corruption level to 0 with Sanders, but the transformation isn’t stopping.
Read the description of your Ring items….
It’s even funnier the 20th time!
