Hey guys - really, really important - Kough is not the right NPC, at least on PS5 or for me. It's Grisha, the vendor on the other side of the area. I spent hours and hours and hours giving Kough flowers every day, looking all over the map for more flowers and waiting for my picks to respawn after 7 days, and it turns out that it wasn't meant for Kough (the innkeeper). If anyone is struggling with this, I suggest offering the flowers to Grisha, 3 days in a row. That worked for me. Still great advice though! Makes my pawn way more popular ❤
Man there's a couple of things in this game that it seems there'd be no way of figuring out by myself but I don't want to look up guides. Seriously, that's insane. No wonder I've not found any other specializations besides Chirurgeon. I'm going to try all of the shopkeeper npc's in different locations n see if that gets me any others
I used the tome from her and and the smithy ive been able to understand them with subtitles without pawn. The smithys store didn't update :( another post game thing ig
I did the following, 1 flower then rest, 1 flower then rest, 1 flower then rest, then when I talked to her, she gave me the scroll. I think this is either a user error or you may have negatively affected the affection. Could also be a bug lol
You better be careful using the same pawns because if you get one that everyone uses chances are itll get dragon plague eventually and then your fucked, if you dont know what dragon plague is look it up, its the dumbest mechanic in the game imo
@BegitoBuru it really doesn't matter. Plague is rare and the signs are obvious before it gets dangerous. If pawn has glowing red eyes, just don't recruit it, if you haven't gotten a pop-up, you've never recruited one until then, and for those after, if it gets sassy, throw yours pawns in to water. Easy
@@BegitoBuru again, it's an easy mechanic. Most don't see it in their plsythroughs and it's not about right or wrong. The symptoms I mentioned are fact. Anyone who gets their towns killed with it is either an idiot or wanted to know what'd happen
Is it bugged? I gave her like 3 jasper and 10 bunches of flowers. Spent like 20k sleeping. Even got the PlayStation trophy first maxing out a persons affinity
@@DosukaGaming thats what i did when i got to the riddle birdlady! I had to resist searching for the answeres on google! So i fucked around and messed up one riddle, and now ill never know what was in that huge chest in the middle
Better way what i found was to give 2 flowers to one of the female archers just outside of the inn. Wasted 10+ flowers on the innkeeper and got nothing.
You must be on Xbox. To start conversations on PS5 is circle button by default. I personally won't choose this option because I have a female arisen and don't want her affinity for me heightened. Good tip tho.
I got the woodlands specialization on my pawn early then at some point she learnt a new specialization and it replaced woodlands specialization. Now she can't translate elvish at all. This is not a bug, there's just no way to change pawn specializations at the moment.
@@aawsome69 If you want your pawn to speak elvish again then gift another elf 3 bunches of flowers , they will give you another tomb. You can do this more than once.
It should work with anything that has an increase on affection when given to npc's. However, flowers are the safest as they're free to farm everywhere on the map
@@toddmailen3674 i honestly keep all my jaspers and onyx stones in my storage for if i come across something i need them for specifically. For anything affection related i use flowers.
Nice video thanks so much. Subbed and liked for you. Could you reply with the link for the video you used to make your pawn? Or if you did it all yourself if you could do a video showing the numbers that would be amazing. Not enough good pawn how to make videos out there IMO. Have a great day, thanks again for the info!
@@DosukaGaming for the 5th or 6th time in a row now and before you ask what could i even do to affect our bond negatively? i only talk to her to use the inn and gift her stuff.
nope. didnt work for me at all. gave her 3 bunches, slept between, did nothing to negatively impact affinity. it's extra infuriating because no flowers seem to be spawning anywhere for me
There must be something wrong. I’ve tried this exact method on 3 different accounts/saves now. Works like a charm everytime. Have you slept full nights, or have you just dozed off on the bench?
I think this is stupid. Pawns should at least have more than 1 specialization at once. After 80 hours you get sick of the repetitive dialogue. So the specialization aphonite was a godsent. But now i can't have her be a forager or anything else without getting rid of her aphonite specialization, which is basically something that allows her to never speak unless spoken to. How is this even a specialization? It should be something you should simply be able to command them to do. So either my pawn shuts the f**k up, or knows a whole Elven language? C'mon.... And why can't we the player simply learn it ourselves? We can learn all manner of complex spells and skills, but not 1 damn language? And i don't understand why we can't actually search for pawns with particular specialization. I would like other pawns with the aphonite specialization.
Bullshit. I have done the same and still i got nothing. Use over 20 flowers and been sleeping and used so much gold and becurse its a sleep in i cant go back to get gold back by reset. Just find one to translate if you need something there. Learn it is to much in this stupid game

Thanks bro. I had to use this NPC. The innkeeper wasnt working
This worked for me as well! Thank you, much!
Same here. Thank you, so much!
THIS WORKED FOR ME ON PS5🎉
Same yea
Thanks man, giving her a "bunch of flowers" helped with getting the scroll

This is best skill for main pawn because there's WAY less random woodland wordsmith pawns to find in this game than the other ones.
All, make sure you have SUBTITLES turned on. This drove me nuts while I couldn't figure out why it didn't work. I had them turned off a while ago.
I got 2 of them by giving 1 flower to each the inn keeper and the store owner for 3 days
it would heve been cool if any of the elves could give you this ability
thanks man, helped me out so much... i just did this 3 flowers and sleep inbetween.. she gives you the book after the 3rd one
Glad I could help!
I used the tome from her and and the smithy ive been able to understand them with subtitles without pawn. The smithys store didn't update

There’s gotta be step you did that you were unaware of, I’ve spent several nights and around 10 bunch of flowers and got nothing
Have you done anything to impact the affection negatively
Yea I did it and it worked for me, my elvish pawn is now a proper elvin now.
it's the female merchant who gives you the tome and you can just sit on the bench next to her and rest to pass the time.
I did the following, 1 flower then rest, 1 flower then rest, 1 flower then rest, then when I talked to her, she gave me the scroll. I think this is either a user error or you may have negatively affected the affection. Could also be a bug lol
it was a different npc for me@@Sundutero
thats the same red head pawn i hired for elvish
Otto a real G

That archer guy never went to the arbor and his dad never showed up so both are just missing from my game now
Thank you very helpful as i made an elf looking archer and want him to speak elvish
HOW SHOULD PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN THIS?! I hate having to look at guides! I want to explore and shit myself, but id never figure this one out lol
It’s a matter of F around and find out i guess 🤣 i usually try literally everything when playing an rpg until something happens

Grisha on PS5, be aware of it.
You must be on Xbox. To start conversations on PS5 is circle button by default. I personally won't choose this option because I have a female arisen and don't want her affinity for me heightened. Good tip tho.
I’m on ps5. Circle initiates the conversation, but square is the option to give a gift
On PC it's "Y" by default.
I used the Tomb but my pawn still doesn't translate ? I've tried giving more flowers to get another tomb (from the same women) and no joy! :(
That seems like a bug. Using the tome should automatically teach your pawn the language. I’m afraid i wouldn’t know how to fix that 😅
I got the woodlands specialization on my pawn early then at some point she learnt a new specialization and it replaced woodlands specialization. Now she can't translate elvish at all. This is not a bug, there's just no way to change pawn specializations at the moment.

@@madhaze0126 if it wasn't for youtube I wouldn't know this. Thanks mate.
@@aawsome69 Welcome mate , I'm loving this game :)
Jasper, onyx, or Tiger's eye work?

@@DosukaGaming ok. I wanted to find out because I gathered 6 jasper and 4 onyx and am about to train the elf.

Appreciate it! In all honesty, my wife made my pawn. I could check the sliders with an art of metamorphosis in game tho. I'll get back to you asap
That would be amazing thank you. Please give your wife a high five on my behalf, she did an amazing job. @@DosukaGaming
hahahaha will do! 😄@@loatwec
worked for me! thanks
she's all blushy and loves me. no tome.
Have you slept to the next day in between giving the flowers?
@@DosukaGaming for the 5th or 6th time in a row now and before you ask what could i even do to affect our bond negatively? i only talk to her to use the inn and gift her stuff.
Thank you! I’ve screwed up so many times playing, I wish I could start over with the knowledge I have now. They don’t make that easy though.
press and hold F on pc
Gift are only effective once a day. If you give them more on the same day is wasted
That’s why i’m showing you to sleep after each gift 😅

How to give gifts? I don’t understand where the hell to press on PS5. I can only either buy or sell things. There’s option to give gift anyone.
Press square after initiating a conversation. Don’t click any of the dialogue menu options. Just press square
thank you mf
😁 glad i could help
Its actually easier to just give her 3 jasper :)
Yep, anything that will increase the affection of an NPC works. However, i chose to show flowers as they’re obtained the easiest throughout the map.
Another bugged quest :)
Lol

It seems not to work for some. You might want to try with different npc’s in the arbor
Who cares
You cared enough to take time out of your day and comment 🤷🏽♂️
@@DosukaGamingwhy are you using the black emoji when you are white? Be proud of your own race kiddo

This is not working for me but it's ok I'll keep trying something else like I read in some of the comments...thanks anyways!
