My character in ver. 1.82 has been in the status of wetting for a really long time after drank a cup of tea. I can rise the hydration level to distended by throwing potoin at PC but it didn't seem to drop afterwards. This status disappears after PC dies, but will reappear after PC drink another potion.

Winter has been unusually harsh this year, with several towns being hit by deadly blizzards, changing the landscape drastically. But perhaps not beyond recognition. Can you figure out which towns are featured on the images below? It doesn't help that some rascals have put up weird holiday decorations all over the place.

Let's have a little fun! Four undocumented "easter eggs" are listed below. Three are a figment of my imagination, but one is true. What do you think, which one?

Hello, people of Ylva!

Let's talk about what we like or don't like in either Elona or Elona+. Do you feel the new features really spruce up the gameplay, or do you find them too simplifying? Do you think that the new limitations are nothing to worry about, or do you feel they kinda destroy some of the main things we loved about original Elona?

What are your views on the new plot? Do you like the new shounen feel to it, or do you wish it retained the seriousness and drama of the original one?

Also, is anybody excited for the new game? ;)

By the way, huge thanks to AnnaBannana for her love for the game and for her hard work. It must be very tough for you to find time to make Elona+ better, but you seem to be very tough yourself and just plain awesome. May the Etherwind always be with you!

Roleplaying fun or effective progression, ¿Which one do you prefer? I'm asking this out of curiosity, as Elona lends itself to either style of gaming, and this community has shown to be rather varied.

Personally I prefer immersing in the game's lore, and mostly pick favorite pets and armor based on designs and skills over effectiveness, so roleplaying it is. Also because I normally play on Advancing difficulty, which I personally believe is lax enough to allow for such gimmicks lol

Does anone have a gene file s/he would be willing to share? My laptop died on me and took all my saves to its grave... and I'd rather start from a gene than a completely new game. :)

After beating Elona+ twice with a lot of grinding involved i thought: "i think i can speedrun this... no one did it before, right?" (This wikia helped me a lot with routing, thanks guys).

So my idea was simply to use three strong late game pets (Kali, Kirin, Mist Dragon) to carry me through the game as fast as possible, while using return scrolls to move around. Basically a NewGame+ run using my gene file (i did use the god extra race, but i understand if you think it's cheating).

The biggest problems i had in the run were the Tower of Fire (beat it after i decided to get riding skill) And the last 10 floors of Lesimas, where the enemies were .

Funny thing is, i ran out of Return Scrolls really fast, and had to visit most of the towns to find one. So while i beat the game in 1:07:41, i'm pretty sure a sub 40 min would be doable with better pets or better routing.

The reason i'm sharing this, is to hopefully raise interest in some of the people here who love the game and stream on Speedrunning Elona. It's a fantastic game.

Hi people! ...and eleas, yerles, snails, hungry demons...

I've created this flash version of elona title screen:

Be careful! It requires a lot of resources - so you may need to make the window smaller...or upgrade the computer.

This thing contains almost nothing, but surprisingly it took significant time to implement. I also tried it on my cheap android tablet...and...well... 200 circles must be reduced to... maybe 20? Or even 5.

So... what do you think?

Now that juicing became trendy in Irwa, it's time to ask yourself the question: what juices do you find most exciting?

For starters, let's put the juice mixer in overdrive to see some interesting possibilities:

What are your favorite juices?

Hey, are there other roguelike games you Play beside elona?

Just curious...  Me is from germany, male 34 years :)

in all me games I seen lots of cool spells and got even wish spells that even after a really long time I don't use I simply go full mele overpowering everything on me path on me own I see magic looks fun but I haven't try it slsly so '

tactics or casting witch one is the strongest ;3?

Does anyone play this mode? It's almost unplayable due to the amount of bugs in the game.

Playing this mode really sharpens your early game tactics but it's pretty disheartening to get your game ruined by game crashing bugs. I don't mind recovering from the nosave penalty once but multiple recoveries can get pretty frustrating.

Out of curiosity, do any of you have a favored playstyle? It doesn't have to be a "best" playstyle or one with your best character, just one you feel most comfortable with.

Out of all the playstyles I've tried (pure gunner, performer mage, tank priest...) my favorite is melee Thief, which I tend to play with some quirks. Swords-only, dual-wielding, light armored melee with throwing (mostly left behind using magic), used to jump-faiths but ended up staying with Kumiromi (great passive for skill usage), and lately I've been training evolved pets for roleplaying purposes.

Here's the stats of my favored PC:

To explain, by roleplaying I mean playing the game with a story in mind for the player character. Maybe it's kind of redundant to do in a roguelike but I personally think it adds a fun spin for the game.

As for myself, currently I have 4 saved games (3 for E+, 1 for vanilla) and 2 of them are roleplayed. For example:

1.- My main character, "Strange Traveler" Lienne (Elea Thief). Arrived at North Tyris after being exiled from the Vindale Forest for her hedonistic and heretical practices (this plays in the game as my habit of killing adventurers for tresure and faith-jumping gods), and was rescued by Lomias and Larnneire after the ship she came in sunk (just like the intro) who didn't recognize her because of the mutations suffered after being hit with Etherwind. Moved mostly for her thirst for treasure, since obtaining the Origin of Vice and reading of Sierra Terre she has become increasingly interested in Chaos and the ancient Nefia.

2.- My second character, "Chain Risk" Iris (Fairy Pianist). Originally an angel of music (I roleplay her as one, didn't want to use the extra races), she was sent to North Tyris by the gods to bring back, or if proven impossible, exterminate the Fallen Angel Isca. However, her descent was disrupted by Etherwind, making her considerably fragile upon arrival and having her depend on earthly weaponry and allies to accomplish her mission. During her time in North Tyris she becomes increasingly aware of the decaying state of the world (crapsack world, hooray!) and resolves to protect those in need, starting with the creation of "Sanctuary" (My Home, near the Lumiest graveyard). But the lenght of her time in North Tyris and her gradual straying from her original mission end up "corrupting" her in the eyes of the gods (who are already crazy to begin with), and by the time she finds Isca, she too has become Fallen.

My other two characters are more of an experimental matter, the vanilla one being more of a speedrun and the other E+ character being my challenge at how long can I last playing in Inferno mode, so, no nifty story for them.

So, there are my examples. Do you play in a similar way?
