I've gotten every prisoner H-scene, I just want to know if the adventurer recruitment event technically counts as a prisoner scene. Okay, to be as vague as possible about this. I think you need to be right under Meryl's rank (sorry, can't remember what she is...I think you need to be a floor midboss) and do the story mission that pops up around there. You should get the prison pretty soon after that.

Okay, I finally got a couple of adventurers in my party, but am I able to recruit the rest of them if I don't have the prison?

Are you asking for a list of female, humanoid party members? If so then here's a few more: Loams, Tifur, Ogre girl, slime, succubus, Triclops, and the human adventurers (who can apparently be recruited if you beat them enough or something; I haven't managed to do so yet)

I believe those are meant for Darx as well. I haven't done anything...scientific to prove that one, but I seem to have more events waiting for me when I am getting a lot of kills using Darx's abilities. But like I mentioned, my experiments were not rigorous, so if anyone has had different experiences, please correct me.

Okay, I've pretty much confirmed that buying a lot of stuff in the store actually DOES increase the available stock (or at least is one of the factors). I had a bunch of cash lying around, decided to purchase a bunch of random junk in there and then started taking a few naps. I got a bunch of inventory-increase events in a row. Though now my inventory is full of underwear... PS: it seems that it's a quantity over quality thing. I kept buying a bunch of underwear and got an event that I never got in my previous game despite having bought a vampiric dagger in my previous game and nothing but 120 pairs of underwear and a couple of random swords in this game. Though, now that I think about it, I can't tell if it's actually keeping track of my purchases or if it's reading the size of my storage...if it's the latter, that could explain some things.

Just had a nice leveling run in the demon gate, so I guess it's time to abuse save files and give some more max use numbers. And I can't figure out what smoke bomb does either. I went into battle and used it, but there's not even an animation for it. PS: the regen skills need to be cast, but they will heal the target(s) every single time you take a step. The numbers are a little low (15 or 20 at max level), so they don't do much in battle, but they look like they could be worth it when cast on the map.

for what it's worth, succubi can also heal, but I don't think they become AoE healers. If you want an AoE healer, I would imagine it has to be on a demon specialized for healing (IE: without many other skills) so ambrosia might be your only choice, but I'll play around with leveling some demons and let you know if I find out otherwise.

The "Defend" command is different from the "standby" command. Defend makes them fight defensively and focus on making sure hp is full (possibly also changing their target priorities), but standby makes it so that they will take no action. The bugfix should fix the door issue. Cass and Ayaka spawn randomly as yellow units pretty much anywhere (well, maybe not in place of big bosses like the ones in dragon nest, but any of the mission maps should be okay). The problem is that they have a low spawn rate, so you should just fight every yellow enemy you come across. The one-sided doors in the dragon nest are not meant to be crossed. there is no way to get outside the center area at all. There are other maps with one-sided doors that you can use (Bueroza 3 I think has one) but the dragon nest is special.

Alright, I'm on a new game + and decided to do a mage run this time...though I ended up starting by leveling up my blunt skills so that my staff wasn't useless. Oh well, it let's me help with the guide, so let's fix up some of those skill names, shall we? Also, the two regen skills are active, not passive. I haven't tried them myself, but I think they are made to use on the map so that you can recover between fights (or maybe used right before a fight with an AoE-heavy enemy like dragons) EDIT: I do have a question though. How in the world do you get a wider shop selection to open up? I was disappointed in the first game when they stopped getting new stuff, but on my NG+ I don't think I've gotten a single expansion. You mentioned that it doesn't seem to be based on how much you shop there, but are you sure? That's pretty much the only difference between my current and previous runs. Did you come up with another idea?
