Aid in the Sous

IIRC some people in this thread managed – at any rate, they weren’t able to remember which steps they followed.

Since the recipes are just from trial and error, it seems to me that it’s possible that there’s additional ones that work but just haven’t been documented. After all, once you get one relic, you can’t get any more, and whether you get it on a particular run seems random even if you DO have a valid recipe, so…

.. yeah, makes sense. and I get how people can be frustrated with that, even though I kind of like the vagueness & that it evades an easy analysis ;)

Agreed. The recipes seem to come in pairs, but there’s at least two missing. People should try the recipes in pink from here:

I would absolutely love if people did that, but unless we discover the other unlock condition it’s unfortunately not falsifiable. Someone spends 100 Sous trips digging for a squints Leggy Cherub and comes up empty, does that mean the recipe doesn’t exist? Or they just never got lucky and became Relic-eligible? No way to tell if they wanted their opportunity, and therefore if they should continue wasting time or not.

I really wish I had encountered my Relic while recording hidden values. Could have saved some grief for us all.

Well, will do that if my reserves permit it! I do love to dig into the unknown game limits (like Malefactor limit) and I do need a break from my grinds which just simply using AP.

Sadly, my time is limited and I am far behind with ESs, but at least I can pour hundreds of AP into things like these!
