Hey there! I can't find the link for the discord server anywhere...please help!
EDIT: found it! <3
Hi, i wanna just ask...is someone playing chapter 7 fimbulwinter yet? Coz i am stuck at Peak factory and hell i dont know what to do next 😛
questions about chapter7 can be asked only on the discord server in the patreon backers' channels, since the chapter is currently only available on patreon.
Ok, thanks for advice
hello! i'm on chapter 3 and i cant kill the ergi monster... my fitness is at 70
how much Will do you have? did you already complete borge's mission that let you choose to increase Will or Fitness? in the fight against the jotun, make sure that you are attacking with borge before britt each turn, and that you have valhalla serum for the fight.
Do you plan to release it on Android?
currently the focus is on finishing to release the 9 chapters of the game, and after its done, releasing on android will be considered since it requires adjustments.
Once the mobile version becomes available, if we have bought the PC one will access/license carry over? And woyld there be an option to buy all the chapters in one bundle?
i can't guarantee since i don't know how much work an android version will require. currently you can get access to all the available chapters (not android) and guides by becoming a vanir backer on patreon, which is a very good deal.
I’m on chapter 6cant find the vivariums can you help plaese
Go to trading post, then click to undercity and the way to vivarium you can find on the right side of your screen
I’m in the outer walls I’m
On crystal caverns I’ve done 3 out of 5 but can’t get past the 4th one help please and what’s the most important items I should have in my bag to fight these things
Please
the 4th fights there are against ancients and are very hard. you need to have ammo/medkits/potions/rations as much as they can help you. you have other options to finish this chapter without most of these fights. focus on the habitat location.
thanks
Mechas going down I’m on 17 I’m charging it with power but still going down why is that
make sure to use lacerate->firearms->defend mechas in this order for chance to get combos (you most likely know that already, but i am just making sure). remember that the more power that you have in your bag the stronger the combos' damage. also, the more points that you have in the alf tree the higher the chance for the robots to crit. make sure that you have enough ammo and medkits. with the alf's playstyle you mainly need to wait for the regroup drone to crit enough so that he will raise the crit rate of your mechas and you get combos all the time.
Minor typo: "To play Chapter 5, you must have already owned Chapter 1, 2, 4 and 4." wanna put "Chapter 1, 2, 3, and 4"
sorry OCD
I did one machinery but the next day I don't see the next scene
make sure that you still have the machinery in your bag and that you didnt use it for another mission already. or maybe you already had a conversation with the captain so you need to wait for the next day to talk to him again. in which chapter is it?
I’m still trying to beat the third bird in chapter four
Is there a sequence I should use and which of the characters I should use thanks
a generic order for seidr 5th row is lacerate->tagteam->regroup->defend->firearm->trueshot. if you are having problems with a fight where the defender can get the miss debuff, you can try to use the 3rd row defender.
fantastic I’ve done it with your help thank you
were else can you get solvent from please
you can craft it in the industry area
were do I find more war supplies please
I’ve finished all the side jobs and got the power cores and drone secured in the deport
But can’t seem to move forward talked th Borge and there papas so how do I move forward seem to be going round in circles please could you help
Chapter 4
there are 3 main missions in alfheimr, one of them is the power hungry missions. to get/complete them you need to first finish all the previous conversations with the related captains.
for the fjord's mission, check if you didnt miss a conversation with jostein in britt's home or the stables, or anders's conversation in the artisan area.
for the undercity's, check if you didnt miss henrik's conversation in the apartments location in the core, or with ralf in the apartments location which is above the bar.
thank you for the help much appreciated
I’ve cleared out the caverns now come to a full stop how da I get it moving again
And what is the curator should I buy it
how do you kill the big bird I’ve tried but to no avail thanks
it is a hard fight. notice that you can save between the fights when they talk, and you can try using the 3rd row defender for the fight since she cant miss
there is some use for curator in the laboratory, and in the restricted vendor in the core
Hi ! Does anyone know the choices to make to have the flame with Tyr please ?
you need to have at least 30 admiration with him and to get him clothes in the start of the chapter
At the start of the chapter 2 ?
flame choices are in chapter3
Thanks !
This game looks really great, but since my English isn't very good, I quickly get stuck because I don't understand what I need to do. Is a French version planned? Congratulations to the creators—based on what I was able to play before getting stuck, it's a game with beautiful graphics and an engaging story.
Hey ! Je compatis je galère aussi un peu avec certains mots x)
Is Chapter 8 coming?
it is still in development. its testing should start this month, but it has to be completed first.
Which of the 4 captains do you talk to first for the missions please
if you mean in chapter4 when you get to alfheimr, you first talk to borge who gives you a mission to get permission to be in alfheimr, then you talk to all the other captains (and dont press on anything else since you are not allowed to use it before finishing borge's mission). completing jorgen's, jostein's, tyr's, and henrik's missions will lower the raid upkeep, so finish them fast.
or did you mean something else?
where do I find a cpu key for the power core in chapter four
you get them from Ralf after completing his first mission. notice that if your inventory was full when you completed the mission, its possible that you didnt recieve the cores and will need to load to before the conversation and make space in your inventory for it.
Will there be a guide to chapter 6?
yes. i will check about it
the guide should be available now
hi can u send the link of the guide of ERGI CHAPTER 2 thanks
the purchase link is in the chapter2 section on this page
https://kkchar.itch.io/chapter-2-guide
notice that if you plan to purchase all the chapters eventually, if you become a vanir backer on patreon (25$) you can download all the current chapters and their guides.
do u still have the link of the discord like walkthrough cuz i've been stuck in killing the wolf? :(((
no, it was for limited time, but you can just join the discord server and ask there. players will answer you faster there. i can also try to help you here, but it will take more time.
the link to the discord server is here. just press on it.
what is the best way to keep the upkeep down in chapter four I keep running out of time
Please can you help
chapter4 is the hardest chapter. the best way to deal with the upkeep is:
on the first day that you get to alfheimr, get the first missions from all the captains and start working on completing them (after finishing borge's mission to get permission to travel in alfheimr ofc). 4 of the missions will lower the raid-upkeep, which is by how much the upkeep is raised each day. so its important to finish them on the 2nd or 3rd day in alfheimr.
every day collect menually all the food from all fields and the barn- this way you will also collect free tokens. you should donate all the tokens each day to one of the 3 depots to raise the reputation with the depots' factions and you also get 1 food for each token.
if you dont have a mission to fight (and dont want to fight for loot) donate to the fighters in the fields and depot. it will lower the upkeep by 1. fighting there or agains jotuns can lower the upkeep by 1 too, but even without that you should have enough food for about 15 days in alfheimr to finish the chapter.
thank you
Should I complete all the seidr missions to level up to 4
yes. lvl4 skills are important since they enable you to deal combos with related units. after they are all lvl4 raise them to 5.
thank you
How can you reduce the inventory when it is full
you can feed gulin with wild game, and you can store potions and material for making equipment in erland's bar. be careful not to have a full inventory since it can cause you to miss items that are needed for missions.
Hi, when is chapter 8 approximately going to be out? Can we expect it this month?
usually its 2 weeks from when the testings start. the chapter is still being worked on atm so my guess is that it will be out next month.
When do you upload android is it available 🥰
what is the crisper technology to unlock my potential please
from which mission or conversation is that?
talking to hel in the camp to make a offering
they called CRISPA kits in the old world
when having an active seidr mission in the alphines (you should complete there the huldra4 mission if you are seidr), you need to get hel 1 solvent, 1 enzyme and 1 research and she will make you a "jotun genome data". after you have it (you may also find jotun genome data as a random loot from fighting jotuns) make another research and talk to hildr and the mission will be completed.
solvent can be only be found (by chance) in the alpines by scavenging the base while having an active seidr mission.
is it best to concentrate on the main tasks or on the side ones
in alfheimr you should focus on the side missions. the main missions there require you to have the prior conversation with the captains before you can get and complete them.
In chapter four how do I get the shield please
And I’ve got more bones what do I do with them
the most important thing in chapter4 is to raise your main skills to lvl4. if you are playing seidr, in the alpines you should learn huldra4 before driving to alfheimr. and which shield? if you mean armor for jostein, you make it in the construction area.
Great game! I just start ch 2 but the second cg of jostein is still missing. Can someone tell me how to trigger it?
the second cg is from the prologue. i think that you need to make potent huldra serum before meeting jostein, answering his questions right.
Thanks but that's the forth cg. I tried everything in the prologue but still missing the second cg.
you need to succeed in the hunt, and you need to have a Potent Huldra Essence which you can make in the shed. the cg is of waking him the next morning.
Yggdrasil
if you mean the last skill in the seidr skill tree, you cant learn it until you get all the seidr skills to lvl9, which is possible only in much later chapters. in chapter3 you can raise your skills up to lvl3, and you should use your bones to raise the asbru, vitality, huldra and jotun skills to lvl3.
where can I find the full genome map to unlock its secrets please
which mission is this?
what is the best task to complete when you get the bones
if its your first run, the seidr skills are supposed to be the easiest. so put all the bones that you have in the seidr skills asbru, vitality, huldra, jotun
where do I find some more of Freya’s bones
To Finnish more of the tasks please
its for the best not to count on getting more bones other than what you start with in the chapter. in chapter3 there is only 1 bonus bone that you can get and its only after completing the apprentice mission
When it's available on Android, let me know😍
When mobile version available 🥰❤️
Yes yes when
where do you find Freya’s bones to invoke Valkyrie
after finishing the burial mounds mission you will receive bones and will be able to get missions from the valkyrie in the deep forest.
Is mobile available thanks
also I love your work keep going I will always support you ❤️ 🥰
for now there is no android version. it will be considered after all the 9 chapters are released.
When it's available on Android, let me know😍
do you activate the computer in chapter 3 straight away
which computer? what is the name of the location?
the one that looks like a floating ball I think it’s in the bunker’s thanks for your help
yes, you find a hint to it's password in the bunker too. you should have a cpu in your bag with the hint. the password is "thor"
what is the blood moon and how do i survive it please
learn one of the 3 needed lvl3 skills, have rations and medkits, and complete missions.
how do I train to level 3
you need to finish the burial mounds mission (you should finish it in up to 3 days) and then you will be able to get missions from the spirits to train your skills. you should focus on one spirit. the seidr (the blue spirit) should be the easier one.
Love the game!
I have just purchased chapter 2 for mac, but I get a renpytextback error when trying to launch it. Can you help?
you need to merge chapter2 into chapter1. use the finder to show the files inside the chapter1 app and the chapter2 app in 2 seperate windows, and drag all the files from the chapter2 app window into the chapter1 app window while pressing on the option key, then choose to merge the files.
there are screenshots in the Ergi installation guide.pdf, or you can ask in the ergi discord server if you still have problems with merging.
Hi again
I've tried multiple times, as well as deleting all copies of the game and restarting my playthrough, but when I attempt to merge it reports an error -43 saying one or several elements are missing. :(
Hope you can help.
I like the game alot it is interesting . Only problem i have is that some of the side quest you get seem to not be working . I get everything i need for them but when i go to the locations they say to go nothing happens . Also how do i get all the chapters thanks .
make sure that you have all the items required for the missions- check in your bag that you have them all and didnt use some of them for another mission/craft already (an example is beer that is used in chapter1 for 2 missions). other than that, from chapter2 onward you cant finish missions in the same day that you got them or if you already had a conversation with the specific captain that day.
you can buy the chapters on itch for 5$ each, or if you become vanir backer (25$) on patreon you can get all the current 7 chapters and their guides, and there are some channels for patreon backers on the discord server.
thanks how do i do the patreon thing Im new to this website.
Can someone tell me the name of the song used in the opening. I wanna listen to it more often. Is there anyway to find the soundtrack?
I have make a stroger huldra essence in chapter 1, how do i use my items?
you make potent huldra essence in the laboratory. you should be able to buy the needed materials for it in the artisan area and the town market
where is the bunker please
it is the location you can get to by taking the elevator that is in the laboratory
hey! so far great game!
edit: was able to clear out after revisiting the spots again. 2/3 done. cant seem to get the lasst one (did deep woods and scrap run old world)
iºm a bit stuck at the beginning of chapter 3,
its a bit unclear regarding the burial mounds, ive been to the deep forest, barn and the caves, but the quest still shows that i have 0 out of 3 requirements.
deep wonds really dont have anything more for me to click either.
completed everything expect bloodmoon and the burial mounds.
you must finish the burial mounds mission for the captains to show themselves. it is important to finish it in the first 3 days in this chapter so that you have enough time for all the conversations.
if you finished the old world and deep woods spirits, you are left only with the spirit that is in the bunker.
