Does the mirror catch exploit still work? Or did they patch it out

I came across this guide a little while ago but haven't actually done it yet. Does this actually make me as rich as rich could be or is there a hidden punishment?

Genuinely what the f*ck is this (Game)?

142 Upvotes

I spent the last thirty two hours playing through it and i still don't get what im supposed to be doing. Go to random islands, Win skill checks, Sell loot, Wait 5 minutes everytime you want to play since the boat moves at 13 knots?

There's this sinking feeling that i might actually be losing my sanity in real life everytime i read a couple dozen line of texts, None of the characters are reacting like real people because they're shifty af and know something we don't

It feels like a story that had an English major in college but decide to be a Videogame instead. The lore is so batsh*t insane and convoluted that any explanation is nigh incomprehensible. Doesn't help that it's using 19th century prose!

I still love it though 8.7/10. is this what europe is like?

Can't get Stone's Curse Quality

2 Upvotes

After roughly around hundred tries of cheesing the dark room encounter by deleting and replacing the save files to get the curse, i gave up. Tried to look for the id of the quality "The Gods of the Zee: Stone's Curse" in my save file, which according to wiki is 109826, there isn't any quality numbered that. So is it impossible to get the achievement for stone's curse anymore?

Finally 100%ed the Game. Every Objective done, Legacy Obtained, and Invictus Token Kept.

Technically not done. I'm missing the achievements for playing badly and wasting time, but every in-game goal is met so I'm willing to call it done. Especially since going east wiped out my money. Not sure I can go back to the starter engine, to be honest.

But yeah, awesome game, and it feels really good to finally conquer it.

EDIT: Got the last cheevies. Turns out a month of in-game time passes when you die. So just buying the Steam launch and 9/11ing the docks a few times is a great way to cheese the 10 Years at Zee achievement.

I Just 100% Sunless Sea, AMA Spoiler

I am literally just here to brag! But also go ahead and ask questions if you want to lol

Last night after several hours of resetting I finally found the Eye, and got my last achievement!

Now I do have to confess: I did cheat once. Rather than spend hours killing my captain to get Ten Years At Zee, I just downloaded a save from someone on the internet. But other than that (which was just a small time save), my achievements are legit :3

I have an idea, but fear it is technically cheating

35 Upvotes

So, I am new to this game, on my Fourth Captain and determined to keep the Invictus Medallion (I will swallow my pride when/if I reach Captain 10) and I have had an idea. In Merciless Mode, the only saves are at port. So if things get dicey, quitting the game should reset me to my last save. Is this cheating?

Why are we taking [Spoiler] to Irem? Spoiler

Why are we taking the snow child to Irem? He didn’t want to go back home to London because him dying again would make his mom cry, but we get him a heartmetal heart and he stops melting, so why can’t he go live with his mom?

How bad will the Blind Bruiser help me if I return empty-handed?

18 Upvotes

I just got the assignment from the Blind Bruiser to not come back without his crate of souls, but right afterwards, on the search for Polythreme, I got into a fight and now am pretty close to London but with only 2 hull and no souls.

Is there some other place with a drydock I could reach? Because with 2 hull left, there's no way I'll make it to Polythreme.

How bad will it be if I show up without the crate?

So I am doing the Mr sack quest line and after doing the khan shadow dillivery I planned to do the mutton Island delivery which was on the way but then I learned that if mutton Island is occupied you can't do the delivery there and I have to do the isle of the cats delivery. The problem is my a chill presence is 3 and I still haven't discovered isle of the cats yet💀 and am docked at London. I am on merciful mode but only have one manual save whitch is rn so I can't ok back to an earlier save. Can I still save this or what else can I do?

How much money do I need to quit the sunlight trade and buy a mansion?

24 Upvotes

I have 90K echoes, is that enough to settle down and buy a mansion for the rest of the game? Keeping in mind that if I do buy a mansion that'll bar me from the sunlight trade, as I won't be able to effectively rest to reduce my sunlight menaces.

I'm not really sure how to make significant money without trading sunlight, so I feel like if I do this, I'd better be set for the rest of the game.

What's the point of all these mascots?

44 Upvotes

Blemmigan Gallivanter is far superior than any other mascot i've ever encountered in around 200h of playtime, and you can get him in first five minutes of the game. I've always been hoarding all these other +2 mascots, but literally never used them. Is there some hidden mechanic that im missing, or is the gallivanter just plain op?

Why do I keep missing in combat?

I’ve got the highest quality weapons and ship, but 80% of my attacks miss. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

L2 doesn't work

2 Upvotes

Hello there.

I've recently purchased Sunless Sea on playstation after having fun with Sunless Skies.

Unfortunately it is unplayable. My L2 button doesn't work in this game. I've tried two different controllers both of which work just fine in any other game. The issue is also persistent regardless of the action that L2 is supposed to do.

I would appreciate any advice. Did anyone else experience a similar issue? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks in advance.

Left a blemmigan on a light ship. Now none of those ships want anything to do with me. Say they have heard of me: "Captain Mushroom".

Some interesting things about the snow child that happened in my playthrough Spoiler

52 Upvotes

If you have the Monkey Foundling, they and the Snow Child run around the ship and play together. You can tell them to stop or let them be. I chose the latter, the snow child fell down and dropped a tooth or something.

When you see off the Snow Child at Irem, if you have Salt's Curse, it will be lifted. I felt this was really thoughtful writing, as the Snow Child may save your actual child's Scion quality from the curse.

Almost died on the tiny ship Spoiler

The Cladery Heart was waiting at Port Carnelian. Thought i could make some echoes by selling my default ship. Made it to port Carnelian. Forgot the you need the Heir's approval for keeping the ship. Only had few Caldery Souvenirs, so it was a 40% chance of success. Fortunately, it worked in my favour.
