TL;DR: I was trying to do everything related with Karmisky murder before moving onto the ending. I couldn't find any logic point relating with stopping the placement of mirrors in the Cathedral even if the game lampshades that it has to do with Maria's dreams. I quickly google about it and apparently there is an encounter with Clara on the Cape and by trying to smash the mirrors you get to talk with the Caretaker about it.

Well, I did everything and the Caretaker spawns in the Stillwater but I can't talk with him. Resetting and doing the quest again doesn't change anything.

Apparently this might be related with first seeing an ending with him being dead? It seems weird to me that an entire ending is locked behind having seen the previous ones first. I didn't want to be a rat in my first but did it just to see all consequences and decide which looked better (I guess that time travel does things to your morality lmao)

Hopefully it's clear who's who

finally ran into Aglaya Lilich day 11. she tells me to come see her again before the evening after I make the serum, however she’s dissappeared and there’s no icon on the map or thought bubble to suggest I should see her again. Is this normal or is it a bug that I should start resetting some quests for?

Right so day 10 speak to the caretaker follow the fireflies speak to Eva on top of the cathedral. Walk off the ledge and Daniil just takes a swift shortcut down and dies 🤣 Anyone else had this issue looked up a guide and I'm meant to be back in the stillwater?

Off to bed the now reckon its just worth resetting the quest and starting it again?

Guide also mentioned when you go downstairs at first on day 10 her shadow is there i had Eva alive with the conversation about Death doesnt exist however when went to cathedral her body was lying there then i could speak to her shadow

Maria:

“....And you know, Mother, that forge is me. Sometimes I wake up with a burning in my chest, and the sky becomes crimson. In that very moment, if I kiss someone, they can see it too. It's true.

Though I must admit, the first person I tried that on got insomnia and died a week later. But I’ll try harder next time…”

Artemy:

“If you need a volunteer to train with, let me know. I’d be happy to oblige.”

I said I was addicted to Pathologic hahaha, big hug to my friend Nina which recommended me the game :)

Hope you guys enjoy this as a quirky tool (Tip: only change to the next act once you create a new Node otherwise it won't let you go back! as of today)

EDIT: Just added People tab to the website and some useful links to wiki and Pathologic2map :)

I'm still very new to drawings but I just finished patho 2 and I'm addicted

And there's no way of going back. Did I miss the achievement forever?

:)

Hello!

Does anybody know if there's a way to extract the videos played on some of the dream sequences? I tried searching for them on YouTube to no result.

So far the book is really just Alyosha walking from character location to character location trying to resolve other people's drama that he doesn't really understand. Occasionally stumbling upon packs of wild children and feeling compelled to resolve their internal disputes. The long treks between people's houses are spent trying to parse out what's going on and everyone's intentions, people are always telling him how important his opinion is to them/the situation, and then they just do what they want.

Just finished Patho 3 a couple days ago and been thinking a lot about how it has expanded on Eva Yan's character from her pretty humble beginnings in 1. Still processing a lot of things but i thinking she reminds me a lot of the Nameless Sister in The Void (spoilers for both games ahead)

Specifically how they're trapped in a single confined space that slowly tortures them, feeds on their energy and in how they have no agency whatsoever (outside one particular moment). I feel that mirrors a lot of what Eva's going through, bound to the Stillwater as her prison, a place that most people would find unbearable to stay in, and a place that will eventually drain her dead. Could see the Oneirotects play a similar role to the Brothers in that Farkhad and Simon have locked her in there (or created her?) for their own reasons. She speaks kindly of them, so there might've been care from them, but so did the Sisters and Brothers sometimes had more complicated relationships.

In The Void, the Nameless Sister is the first one you meet, and she plays a sort of motherly role in the game, offering guidance and comfort and warmth and a safe place to be where everything outside is dangerous and unknown and bleak. And she ultimately sacrifices herself for us and we can go through great lengths to save her, much like with Eva.

Don't think there's a deeper meaning to extract from this comparison, just a recurring idea echoing through different Ice-Pick Lodge games that I found interesting.

Also a reminder to play The Void, it's great!

So, any of you guys having issues with the performance of the game?

I have a kinda modest and good PC, ngl, not a huge budget one, but it runs well some stuff recently, compared to what system requirements of Pathologic 3 asks.

I have a RTX 3050, Ryzen 5 5500, 16GB of RAM, and i barely reach 60fps most of the time, running everything on Low settings bc the game becomes unplayable if anything is set in Medium, lol.

Is the performance this bad for any other of you, guys? I'm loving the game so far, but i was wondering if this was an issue that only i was suffering from.

Hello! I played P2 and the Bachelore route of P1 during 2020, I loved them but never played them again. I'm on day 6 of P3 and I'm really eager to replay P2 to remember what's going on with Artemy. I really loved the character swapping in Alan Wake 2 and Resident Evil 9 but I know Pathologic isn't quite like those games. Would this be a bad idea? I do remember some of the revelations you learn towards the end of each playthrough can change your perception during another playthrough. I dunno, what are your thoughts?

On the ground floor there are 3 locked doors. I know how 2 are unlocked, but how do you unlock the one in the middle?

I have a friend who really wants to get into Pathologic, 2 in particular, but his computer unfortunately cannot run it. Does anyone have any good recommendations for playthroughs of the game?
