  • Re: Yoimiya - DestinyQuest 1 Rogue

    And that's a wrap. At 2:11 AM EST, I have finished Act 3 and overall, the first book...or well, I'm almost finished with this playthrough. There's a bonus quest I have to do first!

    Anyways, here is Yoimiya, the fireworks "archer" and the champion of light! The heroine who saved Valeron from the Legions of Shadow!

    -----HERO INFORMATION ABOVE!-----

    I've greatly enjoyed the finale of Act 3, the intensity of the situation, and the enemies fought. I'm proud to have gone through Battle of The Bone Fields quest deathless, and the Legion of Shadow boss encounter MOSTLY deathless (I died against Sharroth twice but that was due to unlucky rolls, and I opted to restart the Sharroth fight instead of going to a checkpoint).

    I had to ditch the Death Strike bow and part of my Nightwalker Set for better gear, but it was worth it in the end. I did not come across any good gloves to replace my Nightwalker Gloves since I replaced my Nightwalker Tunic very late into Act 3.

    As for the orange quest that I failed prior, Waking of the Dead. I restarted the quest and went through it mostly deathless until the final boss, Sammain. I went against the rules and treated Sammain as any other regular encounter that I can redo if I fail, instead of following the book's instructinons. Regardless, Sammain is still no pushover; she's a fun boss to fight against, if a bit frustrating.

    And about the ultimate reward of Waking the Dead, Arthurian's Horn? Well, it's still sitting in my heroine's inventory, since I never found a use for it. I overcame my battles through good rolls, clever use of skills, and sheer willpower. Maybe I can homebrew the second book a bit to include the horn as a one-use heirloom item that can't be used until Act 2 or somethin' as a lil' gift to whoever my DestinyQuest 2 character is going to be from their good pal, Yoimiya. ;)

    I will post one more status update once I complete the bonus quest and then it's off to DestinyQuest 2!

    (P.S. I never really found a use for the Bright Shield ability in the final fight.)

    Nice!
    Now that you have finished those quests, i can talk about it...do you have the word: black book?
    Since you like to play the "archer", i suggest you to try the warrior path next time (it needs the correct "choices" to unleash all of its potential), there is a powerful AoE bow (released as art postcard) that fits perfectly with the warrior path and a specific career ;)

    Be ready for the bonus quest! expect...the unexpected!

  • Re: Yoimiya - DestinyQuest 1 Rogue

    I'm going through the bonus quest as we speak. It is quite unexpectedly tough, but fun!

    Yeah, I'll go Warrior next time if I want to play the traditional archer.

    As for the keyword, Gilgamesh. If I know what you're referring to...is it that one Act 1 blue quest called The Black Book? If so, then no, I went the goody two shoes route of leaving it guarded by the crusader's ghost. Is there something devilish about it?

  • Re: Yoimiya - DestinyQuest 1 Rogue

    Yes,that black book from Act 1.
    If you have the "black book" word you can visit a paragraph (part of a section that can be reached even without this code-word, but with the correct choices); It's about the background of a character. Something that you will appreciate in the latest books of the kickstarter trilogy "The Sands of time"

  • Re: Yoimiya - DestinyQuest 1 Rogue

    Hey Randy - thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I'm pleased your rogue was able to make such amazing progress! I think you will breeze through to the end.

    As a thank you for your time (and because I know you love bows...) email me at author@destiny-quest.com

    I have some art postcards to send you and one I think you will like, if you ever play through LoS again as a warrior

  • Re: Yoimiya - DestinyQuest 1 Rogue

    A late response, but I appreciate the thanks!

    (BONUS QUEST FINISHED. END OF DESTINYQUEST 1)

    Name: Yoimiya "The Champion of Light" / Lorcan
    Path: Rogue
    Career: Shadowstalker (Abilities: Shadow Speed, Shadow Fury)
    Health: 45
    Stats: 16sp, 25br, 0ma, 0ar

    Head: Total Eclipse (2sp 3br) vanish

    -----HERO INFORMATION ABOVE!-----

    Now I can say I'm done with DestinyQuest 1, at least a playthrough of it. The bonus quest was riveting and its ending being a cliffhanger made me sad for my heroine's fate.

    From the bonus quest, I had the keyword "companion" so sorry not sorry, Mathis.

    Either way, the final fight was impossible for me without potions, so I had to "cheat" to get to Lansbury's store in Act 3 even if it doesn't make sense, just to buy some healing flasks so I can survive the statues' passive damage onslaught as I decimate the final boss.

    Now that I've finished my heroine's journey, she is pretty much ready for Hero-vs-Hero Combat and Team Battles for anyone, user or guest, interested in fighting or teaming up with her.

    For fluff and visualizations, Yoimiya's appearance in these special combats is dependent on the following:

    - If you are fighting her in Hero-vs-Hero (PvP) combat, then Yoimiya assumes her default appearance before Lorcan forcefully fused himself with her shadow mark. I'll change my pfp soon, so this is a link to what she looks like pre-Lorcan Fusion (I basically ripped the entire character + name off from a video game, since this was intended to be a roleplay build for that video game character): https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gensin-impact/images/8/89/Character_Yoimiya_Full_Wish.png/revision/latest?cb=20220507125627

    - Even if you use a hero from DestinyQuest 2, 3, or 4 against Yoimiya in battle, she won't assume her post-Lorcan Fusion appearance.

    - If you are teaming up with her in team battles (as I know they exist in later DestinyQuest books, can't wait to see them), then to "fit in with continuity," Yoimiya assumes the appearance of Female Lorcan--a wrinkled, old woman of a mage as the result of the forceful fusion.
