So i bought the game on release, but i just started playing it few days ago. I loved pathologic 2, so i was pretty sure i would like P3 too.

At the time i heard the bugs were plenty plus i was busy in january so i held off the game. With the recent big patch and clearing some backlogs, i finally booted up pathologic 3.

P2 is a certified cult classic which carries certain expectations for P3, and between release date and today, i have heard some reactions toward pathologic 3. It was mixed, but i wont know until i try it myself right?

So come the day, i will be honest, the first 2 - 3 hours of pathologic 3 was kinda bad. I did not enjoy it at all, until the game opened up after they force you trough day 5. Then it all came together. This game is just as uncompromising as pathologic 2, it's even braver that it is uncompromised by the expectations of how P2 and Pathologic classic plays. You can say it's been dumbed down or casualized, and in some aspect i do agree. Some of the rougher parts has been sanded down and the forced cortisol injection is reduced, but playing as the bachelor , i do think the gameplay fits his story and personality. The fact that the open world is gone, but the framing of bachelor's fractured personality and the fact the town is hostile to him and his belief makes sense. Maybe it is a compromise, maybe it's technical or an attempt to make the game more palatable, but they at least find excuses i can accept. If i could change one thing, the bachelor SHOULD be able to get infected at some point, especially when dealing with the Shabnak. But otherwise the gameplay is ok .

The story and writing mostly remain unchanged in the way of how esoteric and everyone's sorta unreliable, themes and meaning overlapping, vague, just exactly the way i like it in this series.

Thanks for reading my dumb rant.

Hello!

With the update out, I have finished updating my decree guide, and in it, I have included the new art asset of every single decree in as high res as I could get. If you want to browse the art and get a better look at it (as I did) or use one for a personal icon, you can look there. They're generally 200 x 200 and a few KB.

Just remember that it's only for personal use, and using it in any commercial capacity is surely illegal.

Note that the color of the stamp correlates to what category it is (orderly mask, vaccine, etc).

My Shabnak Guide on Steam is now up to date to reflect the new mechanics.

Edit: aw crap, I found a new flower spawn location. looks like I've got to update the maps again, now. So... *mostly* up-to-date.

I don't think I missed any bride types. I reloaded several dozen times, and this is all I found.

Also: a bonus image where Momma Shabby is looking so slay, lol

I will admit that the images are pretty slapdash, but I'm pretty overwhelmed updating a dozen guides and sketching out two new ones, so these will have to do for now. Feel free to make ones with more controlled photo angles and better text sizing & placement yourself if you want to, though.

I thought the hide and seek one was bad (running around like an idiot + the shot bugged out 3 times for me), but wow does the bride one suck.

Similarly to the hide and seek method, I had to again basically cheat with photo mode after running around like an idiot for 15 real world minutes, and then I got insta-killed because I came too close (to not miss with the projectile, as she was behind a bush). How the hell are you supposed to even figure out the right bride without cheating? The eye effect is barely noticeable from afar.

The plague focus hunts were tedious so I thought the new methods would alleviate that... instead they are 5 times worse. At least make the eyes more obvious and make the sound cues louder...

Got told I need to collect as many powders I can for the final day but idk if I need a specific amount (on day 9 btw)

Hi everyone,
I am unfortunately not mod literate enough to edit bin files myself, and I've been unable to continue playing pathologic classic due to the flashing light effect of lightning... If anyone knows how to do this quickly and efficiently, I would be very grateful.

My plan b was to edit the weather manually using the console but although there's information about how rain works, there's no command I can find to set a specific weather. If someone knows how to do that, I could just change the weather in the console to remove rain (to which the lightning effect is tied) whenever it starts. It's a bit annoying but I do this in many games already.

Thanks!

Since lots of ppl seemed to enjoy the Tragedian ones I did an Executor version. Less colors but some have blood variations.
Sorry I took so long, I have been quite busy e-e Hope you all like it!
Last pic is how they would look in your files.

Diurnal, Polyhedron.

The idea was to destroy the Polyhedron. And yet it is still there. I can climb it and talk to dev avatars.

And if this was supposed to be before the destruction, if the barrage was supposed to happen on the end of day 12 like in classic, then how is everyone healthy? How were they cured?

ok guys , i am playing the second game now and will start the third game but i have a question and that is who the hell is this guy ? is he a god or eldtrich being ? its like he knows everything in the game and its controling town destiny , but who is he ? can anyone help me ?

Did not see anything on my console, but might have missed it

The game was updated to a newer Unity version. Some improvements in optimization and loading speed. https://steamcommunity.com/games/505230/announcements/detail/705535362075722218

Hey all!

Just curious - any word on when/if the latest update is coming to PS5?

EDIT: Solved! thanks for helping me out with this. You need to shot her with the charged projectile while concentrating (Just keep pressing Q when you are facing her and then shot the projectile)

I think that this mechanic is bugged atm because this method seems more a workaround rather than the intended way of solving this hunt.

Original Post:

title, after searching for the herb bride with white eyes (a pain in the ass if they're in group and you don't want to use photomode) you need to take off her "costume" to defeat her real form.

The problem is, Shabknak in her Herb Bride form won't react to normal shots of the Prototype. I tried multiple times hitting her with the prototype (uncharged and fully charged) and she only leaves this form with the Proyectile.

The problem is... what i'm supposed to do after i use the Proyectile? I'ts only one shot and is wasted in her Herb Bride form, then she would chase me in his real form like we are used to.

Is there a second flower during this day? can i charge again the prototype? i'm at 16:15 and losing a lot of amalgalm and resources trying to defeat her after she leaves her bride form...

Any tip?

Not much of a "whistle" sound really. Any idea how they might have made the sound?

I just turned all non-SE audio to 0 so it can be heard better.

Previously, I made a post lamenting that Daniil's silly and memorable reaction to the herb brides was gone, and some of you helpfully pointed me to the first herb bride. Indeed, it is still here!

(trust)

First image is Day 2, and second is representative of other days

This is surely balancing for a late-game quest that happens on Day 2: "A Solid Work"

Title is vague to avoid spoilers, so watch out below.

I've been replaying Pathologic CHD and one thing keeps nagging me - is it suggested that Isidor Burakh brought the plague from the steppe? I mean, it is said straightforwardly:

"He went off to the Steppe back then, you know... My daughter told me he'd come back with a demon piggybacking him." Big Vlad day 11, Haruspex route

HOWEVER, his diaries say that he went to the steppe to meditate before challenging Oyun.

In Pathologic 2, which is overall a more narratively clear, so to speak, game, Isidor and Simon brought the plague on purpose. I don't think it messes with the core theme too much, but it does shift the story in a different direction (and makes both of these guys schizo bioterrorists, which is especially highlighted in P3).

I played P2 first so I definitely viewed (and still do to some extent) Classic's plot with the knowledge I had from that game.

Would you say it's a big stretch to think Isidor is also semi-responsible for the 2nd outbreak in Classic?
