Beginners Guide

A simple walkthrough based on my gameplay, with some hints in how to proceed. Finished the game, but still has some unclear parts for me. Any help is welcome.

• This guide contains spoilers, if you don't mind go ahead and read at your own risk.
• This review was based in steam version with 18+ patch applied, so may be different in a few aspects.

Partner / Class Available This is a game with turn-based battles, you can only fight with 3 characters per battle (the enemy side can come with until 6 enemies).

Characters:

• Big Brother (MC): the main character, once you defeat a monster girl, you can use their power, so his class is variable. In my gameplay, usually, I use Big Brother for offense since his attack is high.
• Kodachi: swordswoman/rogue; you will start your game with Kodachi as your partner.
• Medina: the healer. Following the story, you eventually will meet her in the Sunny Forest.
• Amy: the archer. Talk with her in the camp when you can(she will stay in another inn, you will see a green haired girl on the screen), do some quests for her and she will join to your party later.
• Aegis: the Tank; a shield bearer. Has the better defense with some useful skills like Shield bash and Armor Break. You will find a "!" in the Abundant Forest, where you find her, later go to The Hole of the White One (in Sunny Forest).
• Melody: the singer/ bard, after the events with Aidelle (inn owner), you will find her in an event in the inn.
• Mana: the witch; will join your party when the game is near to the ending.

Monster Heart You will obtain monster heart by defeating the monster girls, equip them in the Big Brother so you can use their power.

• Mandrake Heart: will be your first monster girl, found in Sunny Forest. Later by the game events (after you buy clothes for her), her heart will turn more powerful called Flora Heart. Inflict damage and can restrain them the enemy or put to sleep. H scene available.
• Fairy Heart: found in the Sunny Forest, in the green gathering point, keep clicking in the apple tree. Restore the target health and confers a blessing. Have not h scene.
• Nekomata: check the quest board, after accepting the quest, find her where you found Flora. A fast attack that inflicts bleeding. Have not h scene.
• Forest Sprite Heart: Found in the Abundant Forest, in the Animal Path. Go to the apple tree and keep gathering apple until she appears. Attack all enemies with raging winds. Have not h scene.
• Alraune Heart: I don't remember, but I think I got her in the Stone Cathedral (Forest Ruins), you will hear the details in the inn and investigate the Cathedral. Gradually recovers your hp. Have not h scene.
• Banshee heart: check the quest board, you will find her in the inn (once the inn is upgraded). Inflict damage to the opponent's spirit, and inflicts sorrow/ silence. Have not h scene.
• Mermaid heart: find her in the green square in the Azure Sea, use bait in the deep fish point. Attract the enemy attack for a few turns. Have not h scene.
• Siren heart: find her in the green square in the Azure Sea, use bait in the deep fish point. Revive and recovers one ally HP. Have not h scene.
• Lorelei heart: find her in the green square in the Azure Sea, use bait in the deep fish point. Inflict damage to the opponent's spirit, and inflicts sorrow/ silence. Have not h scene.
• Mermaid Queen Heart: find her in the green square in the Azure Sea, use bait in the deep fish point. Attack all enemies, call on the tides to drown the enemy. Have not h scene.
• Phantom heart: I don't remember, but I think I got her in the Lost Capital, I don't remember the details, but following the game main story you eventually will get. Halve damage once and reflects the damage. Have not h scene.
• Grimore heart: find her in the Stone Cathedral (Forest Ruins) and defeat the ghost. Have not h scene.
• Harpy heart: by completing the Harpy quest in the East Wind Plateau. Aerial Attack, your ultimate attack from the sky. Have an h scene with Celaeno.
• Slime heart: I don't remember, but I think I got her in the Forgotten Ruins (Wind Valley). Deal some damage and absorb their HP.

Not sure if has others monster girls, only got those so far.

• If you are stuck in some part, return to the inn and rest. The next day might unlock new events. Always revisit the blue square in the map, check all "!" when you see in the map; pay attention in the Aidelle dialogue, she may give some important details.
• Once you reach the Forest Ruins, go to the Wide Well to unlock the diary (to access the h scenes in the inn) and a point to recover your status.
• If a fight is hard, try to change your partner and buy new gear. Good gear can make difference.
• The money is important, you can use to upgrade the local blacksmith items available by talking with Aidelle. You can get money by selling items like wood or fish, or also selling them to the two blue points near to the river in Camp, they pay well for fish and fruits.
• Green apples can restore your SP, Golden and Miracle apple will restore HP and SP.
• Always rest in the inn, and choose a girl in the night or peep them in the SPA. This will unlock new events and give you and the girl EXP.
• If you don't want to pass the day, you can rest in the Harpies hut in East Wind Plateau or Wide Well in the Forest Ruin. They can recover your status (HP/ MP) and some AP. Besides the inn, you also can rest in the Fox Shrine. Both Fox Shrine and Inn is where you can do sex/ replenish supplies and call the day.
• New quests will appear once you complete the current ones available. Some will only appear after some progress. Seems only 16 quests are available.
• In the quest to kill Stubborn Mold in the inn, you can lose the battle and talk with Aidelle. Then go to your room and get Cleaning Spray, they are a good weapon against Mold.
• Some choices will not affect the gameplay, some will, like the skill you can get. In the battle with Dragon Girl, if you choose to fight with Kodachi alone, you can get a new sword skill for Kodachi. In the Aegis sex scene, what you choose will define which skill she will get.

Unclear Parts Some parts I just have no idea what they are, any help is welcome:

• How I can use and how powerful is Unbound (your name) Attack? This needs 400 SP/ MP. Beat the game with LV 25, even using manastones, the SP is still below of 200. Even to use Boundary break needs at least 140 SP, after using this the SP is almost 0 to use other skills.
• How to access Wetland.
• After defeating the library girl, this is really the ending? Is pretty anti-climatic. There is a way to unlock the full gallery?
• What you will receive by defeating the Serpent?
• How to get Kodachi's 4th scene (1st page), Amy first scene (first page)? Only missing two scenes for the full gallery.
• Why Aidelle and Flora gain EXP after sex? They cant join the battles.

Sister Travel – Tips & Tricks

As you progress through the game, you will discover which party formation, equipment loadout, skills, and strategies work best for you.

• Later in the story, Brother will unlock the Unbound Brother Attack skill, which requires an unobtainable 400 SP to use. However, if you first use the Limit Break skill, this will increase the maximum SP, which should be enough to cast the skill. The trade-off is that his HP and SP will drop dangerously low and slowly recover over several turns. If you can keep your party alive until his SP maxes out, the Unbound Brother Attack is the most powerful attack in the game and is devastating on anything you hit it with. Done correctly, you can one-shot kill some late-level bosses.
• Aegis can unlock a skill called Assault Counter that renders her on defense, attacking anyone who targets her. Unfortunately, this also includes allies. Be very careful using this skill, as you will be unable to heal her without potentially killing your party healer in the process.
• Mana’s Dispell skill can be pretty devastating for enemies, as it considerably hurts their ability to use skills. If you find yourself stuck on a particular encounter where your opponent continually heals or revives itself, consider swapping her into your party to see if that makes a difference.

• 3 Get around

Sisters is a city of 2,800 people (2018) in Central Oregon . It is the headquarters of the Sisters District of the Deschutes National Forest. Hiking, biking and horse riding trails go from the city limits into the Three Sisters Wilderness.

Understand [ edit ]

Sisters (pop. 2,040) is named for the Three Sisters, a group which comprises three of the five tallest mountains in the state. The three volcanic peaks, North Sister ("Faith"), Middle Sister ("Hope") and South Sister ("Charity"), are located in the Three Sisters Wilderness about 10 mi (16 km) south of town.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ]

• Redmond Municipal Airport ( RDM  IATA ) a short drive from Sisters and is served by three air carriers; Delta Air Lines, Horizon Air, and United Express with daily direct flights to Portland , San Francisco , Denver, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Seattle .

Get around [ edit ]

• Cycle: On several scenic highways which cross mountain passes from the Eugene and Salem area and lead to Redmond and Bend, the immediate Sisters area is relatively flat in a mountainous area, making for easy local cycling when there is no snow on the ground. A bicycle or walking is perhaps the only reasonable way to travel during the rodeo and other tourist festivals when the out-of-town auto traffic effectively blocks the roads through town. Its mountain biking trails, include the Peterson Ridge Trail and Suttle Lake trails.

See [ edit ]

Do [ edit ].

• Camping - Feeling like camping? Well in the Deschutes National Forest there are countless places that you could camp. In Camp Sherman you could camp along the Metolius River, just stop at the Camp Sherman Store and they can tell you all the great places to either park your RV or pitch a tent. Plus if you are in to backpacking some great places you could hike to, would include South Sister, plus the Pacific Crest Trail isn't too far away either.
• Fishing - There are two ways that you can fish, one being fly fishing: On the Metolius which on the upper part is only fly fishing and catch and release, this river is one of the more challenging rivers in Central Oregon because of the forested river banks and quick moving currents. The Metolius is also a guide-free river, so don't plan on hiring one to show you the secrets. Another great river to fly fish is the Deschutes River, you will have to venture further than Sisters to find it. Area attractions, like Long Hollow Ranch , are renowned for the abundant Rainbow Trout and Large Mouth Bass available in their ponds and streams.
• Golfing - There are a couple of places to golf in Sisters. Black Butte Ranch offers two courses. Also just outside Sisters heading toward Redmond is the Aspen Lakes golf course. These course offer some Central Oregon's greatest views and also a few challenges as well.
• Shopping - There is a variety of independent shops in the downtown core of Sisters.
• Horseback Riding – A great opportunity to tap into Sisters’ Old West roots, guest ranches in the area, such as Long Hollow Ranch , offer excellent horseback riding experiences for visitors – allowing them to explore Sisters’ scenic byways the western way.
• Stargazing - Sisters, enclosed by mountains, has a dark skies ordinance, so light pollution is controlled, creating the perfect conditions just outside of town to be shocked by the bright band of light known as the Milky Way crossing the sky. On a moonless night, the velvet black sky is packed with a visible star density almost unheard of within walking or bicycle distance from a town with several overnight accommodations.

Travel Guides' Stack shares devastating news about her home

Stacey and Mel Wilburn, who are better known as Stack and Mel , are two of the most lovable faces on Travel Guides .

Over the years we've found out just how easy-going and fun the twins from country New South Wales are, but they've recently suffered a devastating blow.

They shared a photo on their joint Instagram account of a property completely engulfed in flames and almost burnt to the ground, with Stack explaining it was her home in the post.

Stream complete seasons of Travel Guides for free on 9Now.

"Stack here! Can't bet this for a s--- start to the year, in the early hours of Sunday morning everything we owned my partner and the kids lost everything in a house fire that left only ashes, we are all safe and no lives lost just a reminder to everyone check your smoke alarms!" read the caption.

"We may have lost everything but we have each other and the clothes that were on the clothesline 🥰🥰🥰 #checkyoursmokealarms #timetorebuild #houseburntdown #startfromscratch #feelsorryforthekids #lostchristmaspresents #stackandmel".

Just over a week into 2022 and it's a gut-wrenching blow for Stack and her family, with followers flooding the post with their support.

Fellow Travel Guides stars Kevin and Janetta wrote, "Oh that's the worst news. Thinking of you."

Jono Fren commented, "So sorry to hear about this Stack. Glad everyone is okay but it is the worst way to start the new year.. @dani.fren21 and I are thinking you ❤️❤️❤️".

"Oh s--- Stacks I'm so so sorry to hear & see this.. Devastating but so glad everyone is ok.. If you need anything please shout out and hope you're doing alright & sending plenty of ❤️ & support," Cam Merchant commented.

The 31-year-old's farm was north of Tamworth, in Upper Horton in New South Wales.

Despite shooting to fame on a show that focuses on travel, the twins had a surprising outlook on things when COVID-19 hit.

"After this very funny year we didn't think we were going to be back on the road with all these border closures and not going anywhere, like we are so lucky to be back on the road," Mel said of how she's been travelling in a recent interview with 9Entertainment .

"It doesn't change on the farm. Cows have still got to be fed and they don't mind if the borders are shut."

Property News: Couple strike it rich after finding 400-year-old coins hidden under their kitchen floor.

I visited Dollywood's sister theme park in the Ozark mountains. The hidden gem's attractions and food were just as good as Disney's.

• I visited Dollywood's sister theme park, Silver Dollar City, in the Ozark Mountains in Missouri.
• I was blown away by its high-quality entertainment and coasters, amazing food, and friendly staff.
• I've been to theme parks all around the world , and this is one of my favorites. 

One of my favorite hidden-gem theme parks is Silver Dollar City, nestled in the Ozark Mountains in Branson, Missouri.

It's a sister park to one of my other favorites, Dollywood . Both are owned by Herschend Family Entertainment, though Silver Dollar City opened first in 1960.

The park is a true hidden gem. First of all, it's an incredible value. Its highest-tier season pass currently costs under $300, and a one-day park ticket is under $100. For context, daily access to only one Disney park usually starts at $150 — and the most basic seasonal pass to Disney World is typically over $1,400.

The park itself is just great, too. I've visited theme parks all over the world and this now ranks as one of my favorites. Here's why I fell in love during my recent visit.

The park leans heavily into its old-school mountain-town theme

Themed to resemble an 1880s mountain village, Silver Dollar City had an authentic feel thanks to the local, multigenerational craftsmen who work in the park throughout its shops and streets.

The atmosphere felt both immersive and transportive as I discovered unique shopping opportunities, like hand-carved furniture, glass-blown home décor, and homemade candy.

Demonstrations were a big part of my experience, and I got to watch people altering leather, carving wood, and blowing glass — all things I'd never seen done in a theme park before.

Even the park's main guide, The Pathfinder, was themed.

It's designed to look like an old-school newspaper and contains a map, showtimes, and information on current events.

It's also built on top of a cave, which visitors can tour

The park is built on top of one of the oldest attractions in the area, Marvel Cave. Theme-park admission includes a tour of the caves, which was incredible.

We traveled 300 feet down into the limestone cave for a stunning view of the Cathedral Room, one of the largest cave rooms in the country.

The park is also home to some of my favorite roller coasters and a lot of unique attractions

The park blends its history with the future in the form of precedent-setting roller coasters .

My favorites include Outlaw Run, one of the steepest wooden coasters in the world, and Time Traveler, one of the steepest, tallest, and fastest spinning coasters in the world.

There are also unique attractions at Silver Dollar City that I haven't experienced anywhere else — Grandfather's Mansion was one of my favorites.

Grandfather's Mansion is a classic fun-house-style walkthrough attraction that's been at the park for decades. It was pure fun playing with my senses through different rooms in the mansion, including an upside-down room and an off-balance room.

Related stories

But above all, my favorite attraction is Fire in the Hole . The current reiteration pays homage to the original over-50-year-old indoor dark coaster. In its newer version, the $30 million attraction combines the nostalgia of the original with the technology of today.

The ride is of a high quality I don't see often outside of Disney or Universal parks.

The food is fantastic and unique

I'm a big foodie — especially at theme parks — and I was happy this park's eats lived up to the hype.

Silver Dollar City has the usual theme-park offerings, like hamburgers and hot dogs, but also offers many unique bites like its famous cinnamon bread and hand-twisted pretzels.

One of my favorite eateries on the property was Rivertown Smokehouse, which served some of the best barbecue I've ever had .

Visitors could watch staff smoke and carve food right in front of them in the open-air kitchen. I really enjoyed the smoked turkey and succotash and their accompanying sauces.

I also liked stopping at Eva & Delilah's, the bakery located by the park's exit, to pick up homemade treats on the way home.

The entertainment was outstanding

Tons of shows and events were happening at Silver Dollar City during my visit. The park brings in national acts throughout the year for different musical festivals — and access to these performances is included with regular park tickets.

I really enjoyed the park's iconic Silver Dollar City Saloon comedy show, which has been entertaining guests for over 50 years.

During my visit, the park was also offering a Broadway-style musical production of A Dickens' Christmas Carol. Housed in a full-scale theater, the show blew me away and was comparable to national productions I've seen.

I was also impressed by An Old Time Christmas, the theme park's seasonal event . It was unlike any Christmas event I've experienced at a theme park.

In addition to having seasonal foods and shows, the park had millions of lights and hundreds of decorated trees. It felt incredibly festive, and I loved walking around.

Every staff member I interacted with in the park was incredibly friendly and kind

I've visited theme parks all over the world, but I've yet to meet staff members as friendly as the ones at Silver Dollar City.

Many of the longtime employees were almost like characters in themselves, with throngs of guests waiting to meet and chat with them.

A highlight of my visit was meeting June Ward, who heads up the park's candy store, Brown's Candy Factory. She's worked at the park for over 50 years.

My visit was comparable on all levels to Disney, and I can't wait to return

Silver Dollar City checks all the boxes for me: high levels of theming, great attractions, fantastic food, and friendly staff.

I loved all the rides, especially the roller coasters, but I especially enjoyed exploring the shops and eating unique bites. This is a really special place that's different from any other park, and I plan to return year after year.

With its location in the touristy area of Branson there's so much to do locally — including seeing Dolly Parton's Stampede dinner show — that it makes for a great theme-park vacation far more unique than the typical visit to Disney.
