SBETHUNE81'S PROFILE

I don't have a growth mindset...yet.

Hello! I'm the 6th-8th grade math and science teacher at a small K-8 school in the Sierras. I recently moved to Oakhurst, California, about 30 minutes outside of Yosemite, with my wife and 16 month old son. Before that, I worked as a 5th grade teacher in San Jose. I love designing and playing video games and cooperative board games. My favorite parts of RPG making are writing and eventing. When I'm not doing that, I like to run, bike, and play volleyball. There is never enough volleyball.

Thanks for playing, Tensoku. That door represents the path that the soldiers take to the mainland. That door isn't meant to be opened. I might have made it too difficult to see, but there is a ladder by the save point that you can take up. Good luck. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions. Thanks again.

@Euphoniac - Maybe I'll make a definitive editions someday that remedies things like that. Thank you for playing.

@EdgeOfChaos - I just found a video on your Twitch channel of you playing from before the arena to just after the desert pass. That last fight in the arena was pretty amazing. Battles that come down to one last hit either way have always been my favorite.

Manifest

@Pancaek - glad I could help.

@EdgeOfChaos - After reading your post, I am humbled, a bit saddened, and deeply impressed. I can't help but feel I've failed you as a developer :). If I had thought for an instant that anyone would come close to killing the timid yeti, I would have definitely put some special treat in there for doing it. Congratulations on the only true 100% of the game that I know of, and thank you for playing.

If you search for "WinRAR," it's a free download and I find it more useful than winzip, in that it opens both .zip and .rar files. If you decide to get the program and open the file with WinRAR, use the extract button to create a folder with all the content inside.

Thanks for downloading Manifest. Just to make sure, are you clicking on the unicorn icon to start the game? If not, try that and see if you get the same message. Are you playing on a pc? You might get that message if trying to play on a mac. Those are the only two things I can think of at the moment that would make you unable to play the game. If it doesn't clear up, please let me know what the exact message is. Thanks again and good luck.

I've never heard of that happening. That's terrible news! Have you tried doing a search of your computer for "Save1"? The best I can offer you is a save file from immediately after the opening scenes, when you first get control. It is "Save4" in my locker here on RMN. If you like, download it and put it in the Manifest folder. See if you can load it, try saving over it, exit, and then try reloading your new save file to see if saving is going to work out for you. I understand if losing that progress is just too disheartening to continue on. Either way, thank you so much for trying out Manifest.

Hi mal,
Thanks for playing Canvas and the kind words.

I think you have a glitched version of the demo, where the harpy isn't able to hit that switch. I put a fixed version of that map file in my locker. You can go there and download it. It will go in the data folder, replacing your old one. Please let me know if it works.


Thanks again for taking the time to post!

Hi bodeia,
Great to hear from someone playing Manifest. It's been awhile. I have a few questions to try and narrow down the problem.

Are you playing on normal difficulty? If so, I don't think your party level will be a problem.

Do you have the Omniguard, Aegis, and Phalanx Shield? All 3 will stop the worst status effects which prevent a character from taking an action. Some of the ultimate armor will also stop these, so try to distribute accessories to protect as many characters as possible.

If you'd like my recommended party for the fight and some strategies, click the spoiler below

I would use either Trux or Val, Syndarion, Fidese, and Efflora. I chose Efflora for her party buffs. I would buff AGI and DEF as soon as possible. Reapply when he strips them. Everytime Naarxoth changes his element, I would also put on the corresponding elemental resistance buff. Those are the main 3 you'll want to keep up as much as possible. Fidese is there for reviving and mass healing. If you only have one accessory that prevents the nastiest status effects, put it on her. You will need her taking action every round. Trux/Val and Syndarion are there for the damage dealing. Syndarion's ability "Force" should work on Naarxoth, since it has no element attached. If not, he also has the strongest single target elemental spells. With Val/Trux keep using your multiple hit abilities as much as possible since you will be drained eventually anyway. Armegmus can also be swapped into the Val/Trux position. He has better resistance than both, and his infuse abilities will hit hard if you use the element he is currently weak to. I would use any Lifeforce that you've collected liberally at this point.



My last piece of advice, if none of the above seems to work, is to change the battle mode from active time to wait. It will take off the pressure of making and inputting your decisions quickly.

Please let me know how it goes. Thanks for playing!

I'm looking to trade a Black Ops 3 digital download code for PS4 for a code for one of a few older, cheaper games.

Please message me if you have a code for one of the following games and are willing to trade...
Arkham Knight, Divinity Enhanced Edition, Fallout 4, Farcry 4, Dragon Age 3, Witcher 3, Bloodborne.

Glad you got it. I would have gotten back to you sooner, but your original post on 12/30 was blank...I didn't see the edit a few days later. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for playing Manifest.
