Perpetua 37: The Castle Eschatonica 05
Friends at the Table
It moved towards Antistrophe, Caoimhe, and Nicky through the dark as something other than itself. A creature of guile and hunger, whose taste for life is well developed and whose limbs are the limbs of others. Meanwhile, amidst the revelers of the High Masque, the moonlit wing’s adventurers mix and mingle. Will they try to puzzle their way through the rhyming door, or sate themselves on delicacies and dances instead of dungeoneering… This week on Perpetua: The Castle Eschatonica 05 Perpetua Guide [Community Addendum Part 03] What’s up every-freakin-body.

Perpetua 36: The Castle Eschatonica 04
Friends at the Table
The Castle Eschatonica has provided as sharp a contrast as one may imagine. In its sunlit west wing, Antistrophe, Caoimhe, and Nicky skulk through the shadows and face down foul creatures. In the eastern wing, dripping with moonlight’s majesty, the rest of our adventurers find themselves in a fete and the end of the world. But first impressions can be deceiving. Sometimes what is challenging may turn out facile in the end, and some respites may be more puzzling than preferred.

Perpetua 35 WIth the entryway of Castle Eschatonica behind them, the two newly shuffled groups of adventurers head into the dungeon’s perplexing (and perilous) hallways. Antistrophe Landrace, Uncle Nicky, and Caoimhe Wake find themselves amongst grime and dirt, with the sounds of explosions echoing in the distance. The rest of the group—Jonathan, Maebela, Elena Millefiori, Veile Lynndel, Brontë Adelvys, and his bodyguards Efta and Zolfta—are drawn by the sound of the winds towards something altogether more noble… This week on Perpetua: The Castle Eschatonica 03 ...

Friends at the Table
By a quirk of fate (and the meddling of a peculiar being named Gnova), two bands of adventurers came crashing into each other in the middle of the Dragon Path. After greeting each other and gaining an invitation to the mysterious Castle Eschatonica, they crossed the debris of echoed worlds, dodged the hungry eyes of a dragon-owl, and made their way into the castle. Now they face challenges like they’ve never yet seen… This week on Perpetua: The Castle Eschatonica 02 Perpetua Guide [Temporarily On Hold - v.0599] Some Feedback [Page 56 of 56] TheUnforgivenIII So I guess Nei is never coming...

The year is 397 BE—Before the End. And in the wide and colorful abyss known as the Dragon Path, fate spins two disparate threads together… This week on Perpetua: Castle Eschatonica 01 IRC Log started Dec 21 20:37 Channel: #perpetuaSpoilers 20:37 <Zelgadysk>: It’s not a big deal Nei, just wish I had thought to message you about it on the forums! 20:37 <FriendXofXNei>: It IS a big deal.

Fundraising for Immigrant Justice
Friends at the Table
On Sunday 15th and Monday 16th of February 2026, we’re going to be hosting ICEBREAKER, a two day fundraising marathon on to raise money for the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota’s Immigrant Rapid Response Fund!

The WFM’s Immigrant Rapid Response Fund distributes funding to organizations working to provide food, housing, rent relief,...

Perpetua 32: A Picture of the Hills 05
Friends at the Table
Above Spillaway Peaks, the crew of the Little Snail has found signs of a horrible corruption, tainting not only the town’s oxen and their food, but perhaps of something even more fundamental. With only one clue to go one—the presumed whereabouts of a mysterious food seller—they travel further up the mountains in search of answers. What they find will draw them deeper into adventure than they ever could’ve imagined.

Perpetua 31: A Picture of the Hills 04
Friends at the Table
This episode includes discussion of animal injury and illness, including descriptions of wounds and death. A mystery (and the need for a little spending money) has sent the crew of the Little Snail up into the hills of Spillaway Peaks. In between attending to their escortee, the locally famous photographer Waylon, Veile, Nicky, Jonathan, and Elena encounter the edges of a strange curse. What has happened to the Oxen of the Peaks? Can it be reversed? And what might it mean for the Perpetuan Cycle… This week on Perpetua: A PIcture of the Hills 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] NPCs &...
info_outlineDrawn together by mystery, circumstance, and burgeoning camaraderie, the trio of Caoimhe Wake, Antristrophe Landrace, and Brontë Adelvys (plus the young prince’s loyal servants) have already made their mark on Perpetua. The fires of Burzin have been quenched, and the town glows again under sacred light. Now they are called east, towards new mystery, old friends, and a city of Iron.
To get there, they must decide: Travel the long, but safe path by foot out of the desert and into the savannah, where the high grass teems with charming life? Or rush north, across dangerous terrain, towards a restricted, Hexcloak-only train station, in hopes of catching a ride by rail to their destination: Cenn, the City of Iron Chains, whose inhabitants have spent millennia digging for clues about Perpetua’s past.
But they aren’t the only ones traveling to Cenn: Every day, devotees of Castine, Living Metal, make their way towards the Ironclad Parade, hearts beating with emotion. Curiosity. Faith. Compassion. Awe. Anger. Fear. Pride. Love.
One day, our heroes may think back on this journey to Cenn, and realize it was their last normal week, the final days before their lives changed forever, one more simple quest before they’d need to face new truths, before fated confrontations with hated rivals, eternal beings, and the only member of the Ennead who chooses to walk amongst his people.
So gather round, and listen, as they step out beyond the little town where you first met them and, if they can catch their train on time, take their first strides… towards destiny.

GO BACK AND REREAD MY POST, UNLESS THAT’S TOO HARD FOR YOU. BECAUSE THAT ISN’T WHAT I SAID AT ALL. HERE, I’LL QUOTE THE SIXTH PARAGRAPH, SO THAT YOUR LAZY ASS DOENS’T NEED TO HIT THE FCKNGI BACK BUTTON!
> And like I said before, that’s because you took too long to get there. If you actually take it seriously and get there quickly, you don’t get into any fights and you just get all the loot for free. Definitely the best way to do it.
GET IT NOW?
Alukard83
No I don’t “get it’ because there’s nothing to be “gotten.” Maybe YOU should go back and re-read the Walkthrough, because FoN lays it all out in the loot table. Don’t worry, I’ll wait, I’m patient.
CarlsSr
l o l appeal to authority much?
Alukard83
That’s not an appeal to authority! I’m telling you where you can go get the answer for yourself! If you had read the guide, you would know what the guide said!
CarlSr
begging the question XD
WolfOConner
Is this forum always like this or did I just come on a bad day?
Anyway, I'm saved right before leaving Burzin, so what exactly should I do?
XxZelgadyskXx
Wolf, don't leave! We need more good posters! (Love your StarFox guide by the way!)
Anyway, I’m not up to date on the guide, but my little brother lost my save file so i had to personally replay the whole game through this point over the weekend, and I think I can give some insight. Unforgiven is right that if you get to Springsong fast enough, there’s no fight at all, and all the environmental loot is just there waiting for you to find it. But that’s only the ENVIRONMENTAL LOOT, the chests, the fishing point, and the little interactable points. What you lose out on getting is anything from the enemies that would be here if you took too long. You can steal from them, and the boss has something that is (so far) totally unique in the game. So yes, you CAN get loot without any risk by going fast, but you miss out on the rewards from the fight (plus anything you can steal from the boss, if you took the Soul Steal ability from Rogue.)
FriendofNei
Haha whoops, didn’t mean to cause all this chaos guys! Zel is totally right, and I thought I was making that clear with the loot tables attached to the fights. I’ll be sure to make a note in the area description if this happens again!
Btw, does anyone understand why the fight only happens if you take a longer time to get there? Shouldn’t getting there first mean that it’s still an unpurified echo or whatever?
