Nemesis Conclusion part 1

Fallen London
101

Thank you for the info. I am also battitudeless and have been for what feels like forever. Time to stock up on favours and then get caught, I guess

102

I’ve finished the story on an alt and can confirm it gives a Bat with Attitude.

The story is a fun little adventure that expands on the character of the Dapper Underworld Boss, so I won’t spoil that here, but the step-by-step process of obtaining the Battitude is as follows:

  1. Go to New Newgate.
    1a. Play the card &quotA Favour for an Old Friend&quot. You need 5 x Favours: Criminals to begin the story.

  2. Go into disgraced exile in the Tomb-Colonies.
    2a. Play the card &quotFlowers for Peter&quot (if I recall the name correctly). You need 5 x Favours: Tomb-Colonists to advance.

  3. Return to New Newgate.
    3a. Play the card &quotA Favour for an Old Friend&quot. Congratulations! You have a Bat with Attitude.

Does the story quality get reset after playing it, or is this one time only?

[quote=Optimatum]Does the story quality get reset after playing it, or is this one time only?[/quote]The story quality was neither reset nor set to 10 to make it one-time-only. &quotFlowers for Peter&quot is still at 5. I think that’s a bug.

Thank you so much for adding an alternate source for the bat. I converted the only one I had and I’m still without one as well. The RNG dependance actually completely turned me off the game so I canceled my subscription and haven’t logged in for a couple weeks. I only came back here to check if anyone else was still in the same boat. Now I can finally move on with this and I see Bag a Legend is also available on my other character, and I also resubscribed and have anther exceptional story to play. This will keep me busy for a while!

What is the 1x “A Memory of the Sky” I gained? It’s neither in my qualities nor an item I can find, and it didn’t have a tooltip. Will this do something when I leave the area?

You need to find three of the four (the other three are in Port Carnelian, a place of some confusion, and the Mirror-Marches).

108

The continuation of the ambition uses the &quotDo you recall?&quot quality to track this, and I don’t remember any of the the other memories doing something like that. The way it was written (you now have 1x A Memory of the Sky) threw me off, making it look like an item. According to what is on the wiki right now one of the others does give a specific quality but when you gain it it shows &quotYou have a memory from deep within&quot instead of &quotYou now have 1x A Memory of Deep Within&quot. I was hoping there’d be some kind of reward for going after the hardest one, which is why I paid extra attention to it.
I guess it’s just a hidden quality that does nothing but give some flavor text when gaining it, but they forgot to set the text for gaining it on this one so it defaults to the current message.

Edit: I’m curious if anyone went the Ravenglass Knife route instead of Skyglass and echo’d it. Any advantage to taking that option or interesting text?

I remember seeing the text once: it’s the exact same text, but they replace 777 with 77.
I heard that originally, the knives option will cause you to lose ALL YOUR KNIVES upon failure, and it was only a few hours afterward that they changed it to losing just 1/7 of them. The Ravenglass Knives option was therefore a way to spend a lot more echoes to prevent failure on an even bigger scale, but now its just very expensive.

Arrgh. But I did the content very soon after it came out. Not sure whether they had fixed the option so that you wouldn’t lose all your knives upon failure, but maybe now I can claim just to have been impatient, not stupid, for choosing the expensive. (Next time I’ll do the math first!)

I got a Bat with Attitude this morning from the Opportunity Card. I deliberately did NOT use the alternative method to obtain one, because I am a very stubborn idiot and wanted to see exactly how much the RNG hated me.

Hello,
I’ve been trying to complete Flowers for Peter for quite a while. I’ve noticed that the opportunity card doesn’t appear with any regularity [either in the tomb colonies or New Newgate]. I’m wondering if you need x5 criminals favors the 2nd time you go to New Newgate to complete the quest? I’m there now and I’ve been to the tomb colonies but I just can’t draw the card. Alternatively, is there a step missing in between the Tomb Colonies and going back to prison?

update: tried a few more times without ever picking up the card. Finally I went back and earned 5x criminal favors, went back to New Newgate, and picked up the Dapper Underworld Figure card right away. So I think you do need to have 5x criminal favors BOTH TRIPS, but they only get used up on the first trip.
