Has said in the title, every contribution to this guide are welcome.

I would rather have a screenshoot included to your contribution to have all the needed information.

So feel free to leave a comment.

- in Story mode
- in Endless mode

Mostly of the fate's encounters can be done through the Story mode, but some require the Endless mode.

Story mode - Deck Builder - Character cards

Endless mode - Character card slection.


- The fate's encounter may only appears once through the game session.
- Try to avoid a chain encounter card (*) as it may goes ontop of the fate's encounter.
- Forfeit if you failed the fate's encounter and have nothing left to do for another achievement.
- Forfeit after you succeeded the fate's encounter and have nothing left to do for another achievement. You need to finish the current session to unlock the next fate's encounter.

(*) A chain encounter card, add another card on the current level ontop of another card, so the lower card cannot be reached after that happened.

I mostly choose the King of Plague Chapter at its have no curses that made you disabled, and its have several levels before reaching the King. The only bad things are the "ambushes" encounters.
Also the Oracles Diadem helmet is really useful as all adjacent encounters are revealed, so it help a lot when you need to be prepared before going through the fate's encounter or avoiding the King of Plague to check all others encounters.

This can works in both story and endless mode.
- If you fail an encounter, just before the card goes back to its place : pause the game.
- If you died, just before the death screen fades away : pause the game.
Then you need to Quit the game, choose Yes and launch the game again and Tadaaa !

Chance card events are more difficult.
You do increased damage as your combo meter rises.





You need to get your combo meter up to the required amount. You need to know several things. First a combo is ended if you swing your weapon in the wind or take damage or do nothing after 6 seconds. You can reflect the projectiles or avoid them, counter-attack or avoid them. Feel free to move as you have enough time to reach a safe spot to attack another bandit. You can also try to use the upper left wall corner to your advantage to be protected from some projectiles.

You are summoned to a secret meeting in a small tavern outside the town of Stiegal, to talk business with several members of the town's Merchant's Guild.
"We have a job for you." one of them begins hesitantly. "We don't normally deal with people of your... unique skill set, but we're in a bit of bind."
"The master of our guild is little more than a crook. He has hired goons to keep us all in line, while he lives very well from the coffers of the guild's treasury."
"We don't want to have him killed." another member interjects. "Just out of his position of power."
"So we want you to steal the Guild Master's ring from him. It is his symbol of office and without it he cannot authorize any guild business - which includes withdrawing money from the treasury!"
"Bring us the Guild Master's ring and we will reward you well with coin."
"He carries the ring on his person at all times and these days he never leaves his house, which is in the wealthy district of Stiegal. Perhaps you can find a way to lure him out?
"Of course, if the town guards or anyone else asks, we've never met you."

This card's token is now yours.

The best way is to play story mode with your own deck, don't forget to put the Guild Master's ring in the Equipment cards and put also one more rings. Place "The lovers encounters" as it may grant you 2 rings (if you have 2 left in the deck) if you choose the second option : Request a payment. Also stop at every shop to check if they have the ring. Another way is to reach a Jeweller Shop, and to reenter in until you get this ring. Then pray to find the encounter.

You return to the small tavern outside of Stiegal.

"Excellent!" a guild member proclaims as you present the Guild Master's ring. "This will surely put him in his place! The mayor will have to replace him now!"
A small chest of gold is opened and an amount carefully counted before being put in a sack and handed to you.
"We were never here and you've never met us, but it was nice doing business with you."

You return to the small tavern outside of Stiegal.
The members of the merchant guild greet you once more.
"We have another task for you, if you are willing."
"Thanks to your help we were able to get that greedy devil removed as Guild Master. However, now the mayor is looking for a replacement and we would like one of us to be chosen."
"In order to keep the system fair!" someone chimes in.
"Yes, that is of course our primary goal." the first speaker continues, annoyed at the interruption.
"But some others members of our guild have their own agenda and are putting pressure on the mayor to pick their man, someone who is just as corrupt as the previous Guild Master."
"We want you to visit their places of business and plant some evidence - contreband trade goods, that sort of thing. We'll tip off the mayor's office and then they'll lose their license to trade inside town."
'After that they'll have to leave the guild and we will be able to decide who amongst ourseleves would be best to put the job as Guild Master."
"We should get back to discussing that." one of the others comments. " I still don't think your proposal has merit..."
You collect the goods to be planted as evidence and leave the guild members to their dicussions. Raised voices can be heard as you leave the tavern.

"Excellent work!"
The reamining members of the Merchant guild greet you in a friendly manner. "Those unsavoury elements of our guild have finally been kicked out."
"We should have thought of this years ago!" one member exclaims.
"Think of the profits...er, progress we could have made by now." another man agrees.
"At last we can let reasonable dicussion dictate the future of trade in our proud city of Stiegal..."
"Oh, of course, your payment."
The dealers draws you 2 Gold Gain Cards.

As you wander the streets of Stiegal you are drawn to a deserted alleyway by a beckoning hand. Two men wait for you and you recognise both as remaining members of the Merchant's Guild.
'Hello friend!" one of the men begins, then suddenly lowers his voice and glances around to make sure nobody heard that. "Ah, hello. Bartley and I were wondering if you would be interested in one more bit of paid work?"
"No names!" the one apparently called Bartely responds. "You never know who is listening or what this man will tell to whom - we aren't hiring him for his strong mnoral character after all."
He quickly looks back to you, saying 'Uh, no offense."
"You see, the other guild members, they just aren't reasonable. Petty squabbling has led to no new guild leader being chosen yet and we are worried that this may go on for some time."
"We've been patient, but commerce in the city is falling apart under the strain. It is time for action."
"There' little time for subtley. Take this," he hands you a small vial of dark liquid. "Three drops in a jug of ale should be enough. It is dark time indeed, but they brought it on themselves."
"The others will be meeting back at the tavern at sunset. I suggest you make a pretense of seeking more employment with them while carrying out your task."
"We won't be attending this evening."
"Won't even be in the city as it happens.." says the other.
"When we hear word that your task is completed successfully, we will return and meet you on the east shore of the river at dawn with your payjment - double what you've been paid previously."
'If anyone asks, we never had this little chat.." says Bartley, turning to leave, "Farewell."
"Sorry stranger!" the other man exclaims loudly to nobody in particular. "We can't help you to find your lost dog!"
"Shut up!" replies Bartley as they slink away into darkness

You need to listen (read) then to success a chance cards event. With luck you can easily get it, but you can use my previous tips with the Clairvoyant Helm and Guardian Angel.

You return to the small tavern outside of Stiegal.
You enter, already formulating a plan on how to deploy the poison in the vial given to you by Bartley. You are called over to the usal meeting area and note neother Bartley nor his friend are present.
"What luck that you have dropped into the inn at just this moment." one of them begins, casting a glance at the others.
"You see, we have just been discussing a new potential business opportunity for you."
"As it turns out, two members of our little group have proved to be problematic. They just won't agree to any of our -" and he gestures to indicate all the others and himself, "- proposals for a new Guild Master."
"We can't get the Mayor to agree to anything while those two are around, since together they control most of the wine importation."
"And the mayor does love his wine." jokes one of the others.
The first man sights at the interruption and then continues, "So, we've decided that we should have them removed from the Guild as well. They are both out of the town for a few days."
"Here is a map and instructions on how to find where they are keeping their most precious stock. it's a secure building, but a man of your talents should have no problem somehow moving the barrels to one of our warehouses."
"We know that they borrowed heavily to obtain most of it - completing your tack will ruin them. they'll probably be sent to the arenas for failing to pay their debts."
"I can't wait to see poor Bartley running around, waving a sword!" one of the others exclaims. "They should give him a bottle to fight with, he'd have better luck with it!"
"The ground erupts with laughter as the man paicks up a bottle and pantomimes having a sword fight with it.
You see the barmaid approach with more wine, so you quickly agree to the normal payment amount and make your exit. On the way out, you stop to talk to the barmaid.

Hunting through the streets of Stiegal, you belive you have found your target. The building indicated on the map to be holding Bartley's fortune in wine sits on the dock, with a back overhanging the river Ernst.
It appears to be formidably protected. Heavy locks and magical inscriptions aborn every visible opening. Guards patrol outside and on the rooftop night and day.
Yet business continues. Occasionally a boat load of barrels is delivered to the rear of the building, other times a wagon loaded of barrels will enter and then leave an hour os so later with fresh barrels.
You consider your options to gain entry :
1) Sneak onto a wagon as it arrives.
2) Swim the river to find another entrance.

1) Sneak onto a wagon as it arrives.

Chance cards event : 2 Successes, 2 Failures

Success

You find a suitable building on the main approach to the warehouse and lift yourself to a vantage point from which to wait for a suitable wagon while remaining hidden.
An hour or two later a wagon of barrels comes rolling down the road towards the warehouse.
Chance cards event :
2 Successes, 1 Failure, 1 Huge Failure

Success

You land lightly on the stack of barrels atop the wagon and carefully slip into an empty one. The wagon rumbles its way up to the warehouse and soon moves inside.
As the empty barrels are unloaded you slip into the darkest corners to wait until nightfall.
Eventually night falls and the warehouse empty, save for the occasional brief visit from the night watch. Between checks you examine the contents of the warehouse and find a trapdoor opening up over the river.
As quiet as you can, you begin rolling barrels through the trapdoor and into the fast flowing waters.
Chance cards event :
1 Success, 1 Huge Success, 2 Failures

Huge Success

You move all the barrels of wine that you believe to have worthwhile vintages into the river and make one last inspection.
Hidden under a floorboard you find some gold and a few bottles of wine. It looks like one of Bartley's workers has been helping themselves to the warehouse inventory.
A guard enters the building as you remove the coins and exit through the trapdoor into the waters.
The dealer draws you 1 Gold Gain Card.
Some time later you are dragged out of the river and dumped unceremoniously onto the shore. A group of swalthy figures surround you in the dim light of early morning. One in particular lifts a sizable spiked club to our face.
"Not a bad haul tonight." the man comments, helping you to your feet. "Here is your payment, as we agreed."
The dealer draws you 3 Gold Gain Cards.
"A pleasure doing business with you."
You leave the band of men to finish organising the barrels for transport and slink into the shadowly streets.

"About time !" Bartley abmonishes you, slapping an insect on his arm. "I cannot stand being near the river this time of year."
He indicates a sack on the ground.

The dealer drwas you 4 Gold Gain Cards.

"Good work on the job though. With that lot out of the way I - uh," Bartley pauses to glance at his companion. "We can finally get this town organised."
Bartley's companion frowns at him as you take up the sack and look inside.
"It's all there, you needn't to count it!" exclaims Bartley as he sets off for the town entrance. His companion pauses a moment before following.
You hear cheers rise from the arena as you walk away from Stiegal, your business there concluded.

"I'm delighted to meet you!" the curiously dressed mna exlcaims from behinds his work bench.
"I have need of your special talents!"
He goes on to explain that his chemical experiments require just the special kind of ore thqt one of your nature normally consume instead of food.
"My payment will depend on how my experiments with the Ore go, but I'm sure it will be worth your while! I was once official alchemist of the King of Kabere!"

"It's fantastic stuff! Very reactive. I wasn't able to make anything useful with it, but I did come up with a potion that increase your vitality."
"Here," he says, giving you a vial, "Drink this. Strangely, my tests indicate that it is more ffective if you've been cursed. Do you know how hard it is to buy a cursed a rat?"
The alchemist watches you closely for a moment. Seeing as you apparently aren't going to produce any results more interesting than a loud burp, he looks midly disappointed and continues.

You return to the hut of the strange old alchemist. Walking in the front door, you momentarily cannot locate him.
"Ah! Hello again my unusual friend'" the alchemist says, drawing your eyes to the ceiling. The old man is pressed against the ceiling where a layer of odd coloured gas swirls around him.
"Still feeling the full effects of this one," he explains helpfully, but then points at a corner desk. "Your potion is over there."
You find a green vial and inspest it. "If you can get past the smell and actually drink it. You'll find that eating food becomes more rewarding."

Having subdued the creature, he proceeds to sit on the bucket.
"I manage to crack it this time!" Try taking this potion."
He hands you a potion and watches expectantly as you drink it.
"All of your other Ore should now be turned to gold!"
