Yeah, thanks, but I own dozens in fact  And I'm aware of flash lay resetting but it feels like meta gaming, unintended and exploity. Still used it a lot because I just want to enjoy the story and it's the only reasonable way, but I just need a break right now. There's something about this RNG gating that just really makes me lose patience due to its binary nature.

Wish you the best of luck!

Has anyone compiled a list of items required at various stages - for instance what one will need for each place one's bat points to? I'd love to avoid all the running back and forth I've just done for one place ...

[spoiler]Bat-scouted places you can visit, you can do all four but only need three to progress, no additional item required:
- A place of some confusion
- The Mirror-Marches
- Port Carnelian
- The Mind of Long-Dead God
Everything below are located in or accessed from London:
- Forceful 3 or 3 Personal Recommendation.
- 250 Romantic Notion, or 500 Compromising Document, or Poet-Laureate 1
- 3 Blackmail Material
- 777 Skyglass Knives or 77 Ravenglass Knives (failure will cost 1/7 of the knives and improve the odd by 20%)
- An unspecified number of Sulky Bats and/or Fairly Tame Sorrow-Spiders
- Rattus Faber Bandit Chief, or Complaisant Frost Moth, or the complete set of tiger ministers from the Court of Wakeful Eye
- 50 Memories of Light and 50 Memories of Distant Shores if you're a Glassman, 1 Searing Enigma if not
- 1 Night-Whisper and 3 Antique Mysteries (optional, alternative is 100 CP stat loss of your choice if you're not a Glassman, no repercussion if you are)
- 11 Antique Mysteries and 100 Ostentatious Diamonds (optional)
- 2 Vital Intelligence (optional)
- 1 Judgements' Egg (optional)
For the last three optional requirements, they each have a difficult-but-not-impossible stat check as an alternative. Success will let you progress for free, but failure will cost you 100 CP of a stat of your choice.[/spoiler]

Six years after starting it, my Nemesis character has completed their Ambition (spoilers on the Profile). As the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold.
Considering what they just did, I guess continuing to live in a Bazaar Emporium is particularly bold.  Looking forward to seeing whether this deed will be referred to in any future dealings with the Masters.
No idea what to do with this character now, to be honest. It was created specifically for Ambition: Nemesis. Definitely very interested in the possibility of both a FINAL END and a NEW BEGINNING, as hinted in the announcement.
I have two more, even older, accounts for Light Fingers and Bag a Legend (I sent the Heart's Desire one NORTH years ago). I think I'll be tempted to put all of them to rest after reaching their respective Ambitions' ends and maybe start a completely new one for Heart's Desire. I do not remember much about the early game, and a lot must've changed since I first started playing more than nine years ago now.
Oh, and a salute to the folks at Failbetter: you delivered, and you did not disappoint. Finishing the Ambitions is a huge step and I'm very interested to see where you'll take the game next!

Rupho Schartenhauer has killed a Master, well: most of it.
Cortez the Killer has killed a Master, definitely.
Deepdelver has become the progenitor of London's brightest star. It's... complicated.

Who else thinks making the possession of a bat that's near impossible to obtain mandatory for continuing is ridiculous and unfair?

I think it's ridiculous and unfair in a way that's actually sort of amusing, to be honest with you. And I'm speaking here as someone who's been actively grinding for the bat for over a month now, without any success.

I've heard tell on the Discord that FBG intends to add an option to acquire one more easily. I'm not sure what the delay is, though.
