The Curse of Lust

The **Curse of Lust** is a curse placed upon Aigran. The ones touched by the Curse cannot think or act rationally and are driven by lust. Although other species are probably likely to be affected by it as well, it affects Lizardfolk in a particular way: they become puppets driven by the Curse, their whole personality is completely suppressed and what remains is only the need to reproduce.

## Prerequisite

**The Curse of Lust** is an event that starts on day 10, when your teacher needs you to explore the swamp to get ingredients for potions.

## Steps

 14. Go back to the Ruins and talk with the Lizards.

## Plot

### Explore the Swamp

You will probably have to explore the swamp quite a few times because what you are looking for is quite small: a hand-made sculpture of a Lizardman's Head. You finally find it near a stone wall. You can try to climb it (agility more than 5 although unsure of exact score needed) or examine the sculpture on the wall. Examining the sculpture will open new possibilities: take a look at his posture (perception 7 or lower although exact unsure of exact score needed, find a secret passage), try to decipher the symbols (intelligence between 9 or lower although exact unsure of exact score needed, understand the map to the Ruins) or admire the sculpture. Admiring the sculpture can lead to increasing your lewd fame in the Lizard tribe. Either way, you will meet Rhot, a guard who you will need ''convincing'' to let you in, then Othra, the priestess. The priestess explains what happened with her tribe, teaches you about the curse of lust and tells you about Roushk, her soulmate who she had to banish.

### Help Othra

Othra is a little overwhelmed by everything. She's doing her best but could use some help. Take Othra's quest for Subjugation of libido. Bring her the potions, then take the Lost acolytes. Three acolytes are missing from the shrine. The first one can be found in the ruins: watch that the warriors are doing and look for some clues, you will then find her with a warrior. The second one is near the pond in the forest and the nymph is trying to take advantage of her. The last one is in the swamp with 2 warriors. Go back to Othra.

### Inner Shrine Gate

While exploring the Temple, you venture deeper in the inner shrine and find a gate. You realise you already have part of the key to open it: it's the Lizardman's Head. There are 2 other parts to the key: the Lizardman's torso and the Lizardman's tail.

The young Witch (Day) has the Lizardman's torso. She wants you to get her a lizardman's egg in exchange for it. These are located in the Forgotten Temple in the swamp. To unlock the forgotten temple, speak with Othra on the topic "Ask about where the exiled went". Choose "Hug her" to get +5 Othra likes. Explore the surroundings in the forgotten temple until you find a way in.

The Lizardman's tail is in the bandit's camp. To get it, you need to sneak into the camp during the night until you find it and see Tank.

Once you put all three statues in the gate, you can explore underground and realise the gate was hiding an underground lake filled with cleansing water! Othra is speechless. You have to choose if you want to **mention the corrupted lake** to Othra, hence warning her about the potential to corrupt the purification lake, or if you want to **keep that information** to yourself.

#### Mentioning the Corrupted Lake

You'll be offered two choices:

* "Mention the lake you saw in Forgotten Temple"
* "Remain silent"

Although the game makes it look scary, this choice has no consequences. You can choose whichever option you prefer.

#### Revealing the Lake of Purification

Speak to Othra on the topic: "Talk about the lake", and you'll be offered two choices:

* "Keep existence of the lake a secret"
* "Tell the others about the lake"

Keeping the lake a secret will ensure that the lizardfolk are freed from the curse. Telling others about the lake will fulfill 1 of 2 requirements to achieve the corruption ending to the event, the other being the Ruin's warrior and acolyte lust adding up to 10 or more. It's recommended to make a separate save file for the corruption ending as it is **not recommended to achieve this ending on a main playthrough**. Once a separate save file is made, choose "Tell the others about the lake".

Otherwise, choose "Keep existence of the lake a secret".

### Fighting Roushk

You decide to keep the lake a secret. If everyone knows about it, it could lead to the corruption of the lake. Othra and you decide that Roushk should be the first lizardman to be cured in the lake, so you have to go and get him... It won't be easy: underneath the forgotten temple, Roushk will be aided by a warrior and an acolyte. Beat him, then take him to the Temple. Othra will be reunited with her lover. Go back to the temple and speak with the lizards.

## Outcome

**The *Curse of Lust* is over and *Lizard's Treasure* and *Between Worlds* can now begin!** If you speak to Othra and Roushk, they will reward you with two of the tribe's ancient artifacts: Orsu's Amulet and Razit's Spear.

## Tribe Lust

There is an alternate ending to the *Curse of Lust* where the lizard tribe will be completely corrupted by the curse. To achieve this 2 conditions must be filled and they are:

* Reveal the lake
* 10 combined total of Warrior's Lust and Acolyte's Lust

This means the player can have as much sex as they wish as long as they never reveal the lake. It is **not recommended** to achieve this ending on a main playthough as there is very little content for this ending. Once the ending has been achieved the main rewards are a full-size lewd image of Othra and Roushk, and unique sex scenes with Rhot that includes a sanity ending.

Here are the sources for tribe lust:

* Complete *Lost acolytes*, it's one of the best sources for tribe lust.
* When meeting Rhot for the first time, choose *"Admire the statue"*. When sex happens with Rhot choose *"Give in to him."*: +3 Warrior's Lust.
* When choosing *"Check what the warriors do"* for the first time, if you have at least 1 Area Fame for Ruins, an additional sex scene will unlock. Go to the Swamp and choose *"Look around"* until Rhot appears. Choose *"Be Obedient"*: +1 Warrior's Lust.
* Have 1 Lust Potion in inventory, have spoken to Othra on the topic: *"Ask about the settlement"* and *"Ask about the changes"*. Choose the new option that will appear when at the Ruins between the hours of 16:00 and 2:00: *"Walks towards suspicious looking acolyte"*. A series of options will appear and you only get to choose once, unless you leave. Here are the choices:
	1. "Eat her out": +2 Acolyte's Lust
	2. "Give her a Lust Potion": +3 Acolyte's Lust
	3. "Give her a Restrain Potion": +2 Othra like
	4. "Leave her for now": Returns to the main menu, and lets you come back to the scene later.
* Complete "Offer relief to the warriors" three times: +1 Warrior's Lust.

## Trivia

* It is not known how, but a beast called "The Nameless" placed this Curse upon the lizardfolk. His hope was to destroy the lizardfolk's civilization to have access to the gem hidden in the Ruins.
* Restrain Potions can temporarily alleviate the symptoms of the curse. Bathing in or consuming Cleansing Water can cure a person, although they have to keep consuming the cleansing water for a while, if not forever. Finishing *Lizard's Treasure* is supposed to put an end to the curse. (Although lizardfolk already affected will not be cured upon completion, it is inferred through dialogue with Nameless that the curse is lifted.)

## Notes

1. ↑ Aigran is the name of the world.
2. ↑ When sanity drops to 0.
