On a small isle in the southwestern reach of the Valte Archipelego, the crew of the Little Snail sits in frustration. Their ultimate destination has been made clear to them: A continent to the south, separated not only by distance, but by a seemingly unbreachable power. How will they breach such a barrier, and more, what might it mean that their cyclical predecessors often faced a similarly fatal obstacle on the path to their great destinies…?

Aloft above the sea, the Adventure Beckons and the staff of the Little Snail head towards a small island in the Valte archipelago. There, they seek information on the White Lectern from the members of the Luminaries—a group which Nicky, Elena, and Veile have found themselves newly oathed. What answers will they find in such a place? And will they meet a new ally… or someone altogether more troubling?

With the Adventure Beckons resting just outside of town, Nicky, Elena, and Veile have traveled into town to complete two important tasks: Recovering a gem sold by mistake and reconnecting with Thelonious, member of the Luminaries, to find direction on where to go next. With new connections forged, they return to their ship (and its captain), and set off into the skies, where dark clouds gather on the horizon… This week on Perpetua: At the Threshold 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.061] Random Encounters - [PPRE] Sky Encounters Once you’ve got yourself the Adventure Beckons, you’re able...

For hours, unto days, unto weeks, the crew of the LIttle Snail delved the Castle Eschatonica with their new allies, the Source Rot Investigators from the Elevana League. In the heart of the void, these adventurers escaped the wrath of dragons, met a fallen god, recovered lost, living gems… and found not only a route out, but a whole new method of travel entirely. Jonathan named his new airship ‘The Adventures Beckons,’ and so, it does: But before it can be attended to in earnest—before he, Elena, Nicky, Veile, Flegbot, and their coterie of gems—can find and reach the White...

With a single step, a world shattered and the stars faltered. Those who witnessed the destruction must face the future and pick up the pieces, but first they must escape the Dragon Path and return home—or at least near it.

Confrontations with Villains need not be catastrophic. Some hostile encounters, including those against enemy bosses, can be de-escalated through conversation or completed through clever use of Objective action. Parties specializing in tools of foresight can leverage their navigational upperhand to outmaneuver potentially deadly encounters all together.  Some clashes—especially those with reality-shaking stakes—seem written into the fabric of Perpetua itself. But even these, despite the long odds, have many possible resolutions. This week on Perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 06...

As the crew of the Little Snail and the Sourcerot investigators continue to delve the depths of the Castle Eschatonica, new voices are heard in the air. For those in the western half of the castle, the voices are brusque and severe, shaped to fit the prepared phrases necessary for a most hospitable war. But in the east, the voices lilt and shine, like dewy petals in a breeze. Is such a sound an invitation or something more nefarious… This week on perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.06] Some Feedback [Page 66 of 68] TheUnforgivenIII So uhhhh does anyone have...

For Semiotician Uklan Tel, the discovery of the object in the vaults of the New Archives was a gift he could scarcely have hoped for. The Holy City, walled and impenetrable, had fascinated him for so long. He'd pored over the Marieldan documents and artifacts that the Archives had collected over the years so many times that his name repeated in the access cards like a prayer . But here was something new - misfiled, overlooked - that had evaded his eye all this time. He was starting to take notes for a book.

At the highest point of the Castle Eschatonica, the crew of the Little Snail and Team ABC finally find some answers to their most desperate questions. And yet, many mysteries remain, perhaps most of all: How can they escape this castle and return to the paths from which they were pulled away? For that, the answer is simple: Walk on… and beware the True Beckonings.

Some Feedback [Page 59 of 60]

Alukard83

So does anyone know what happens if you don’t resist the beckonings?

TheUnforgivenIII

That depends on which one it is, right? Don’t you just get the thing?

Alukard83

But aren’t some of them really big changes? Like sure, if you get the pet landshark, you just get the companion added to your sheet. But if Elena retires to takeover her family’s bar, doesn’t wouldn’t that like, end the story for her?

FriendOfNei

Woah, I didn’t get either of those options when I hit the True Beckonings chapter. What the heck! For me, Elena was offered the chance to build her own megadungeon, and there was nothing shark related for anyone (land or sea or otherwise). Anyone know what’s going on here?I promise I’m not freaking out and leaving this time, I just really want to know what I missed!

xXZelgadyskXx

Maybe it’s random? Has anyone tried loading up a save from before the Beckonings to see if it’s always the same?

TheUnforgivenIII

I just tried and it SUCKS, it takes SO LONG. The only save point is before you meet Gnova so you have to wait through THAT WHOLE UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENE and all that text before you get to even SEE the Beckonings again, and it was all the same for me anyway.

Doom_Tree_Anne 

Since the “True Beckonings” are meant to relate to what someone really desires deep down inside, maybe it’s tied to how you’ve been playing? 

TheDiamondRanger

The official guide says it’s just random, so it’s probably just random, right?

FriendOfNei

Maybe… But sometimes those guides get stuff wrong. That’s part of what made me want to do write my own FAQs to begin with. When I played the first Alteros game, the official guide said that you could only get the Ill Wings of Deadwind OR the Black Wings of Night, but not only was it totally possible to get both, you needed both to get the best epilogue.

Which is really my question (and I’m not sure if I trust that the official guide knows the right answer, sorry Diamond): Do you think the game punishes you for following the beckonings with a worse ending, or do you think you can accept what they say on their face?

Doom_Tree_Anne

Hmm. Well, this is my own opinion, but I sort of think some of them are their own punishment, ya know? Like, it’s the difference between you getting to write the walkthrough you wanted to see in the world vs just buying it ready made. Actually getting to write it is its own reward.

CarlsSr

Sounds like someone who can’t afford the strategy guide lol
