don't know where else to put this but could someone help me with the "helping the elephant put out the fires" puzzle? I can make the frosty tincture just fine but I can't figure out how to actually use it to solve the puzzle to save my life.
I'm sorry it doesn't! In my defense though, Polymute was released two years before the Steam Deck, isn't a Steam game, and doesn't even have controller support.
I actually found a workaround. The steam deck is exremely finicky about what does and does not run so its definitely not something you need to apologize for.
Hit a little bump - at some point the world sort of reset even though I still had all my forms/items, like bombs I blew up would reappear, fires I put out were lit again. It wasn't really an issue until I tried to leave the ruins and found the barrier right in front of the stairs was back, preventing me from going to the spire. Might've happened while I was trying to redo the fuses and golems puzzle for an emerald tablet--since if you light the wrong fuse you have to close and reopen the game to try again--but that's just a guess
Yeah, that might be what did it; depending on how you closed the game to retry the puzzle, it might not have saved properly. I don't know if there's anything I can do to help at this point, since it sounds like some of the saved data has been either overwritten or lost. I'm so sorry!

Just can't find the last form, just to the right of the dragon on that screen.
EDIT: Huh. Apparently it's not necessary to complete the bestiary, at least.

DOES work on Steam Deck, ONLY if you edit the launch options to "Force the use of a specific Compatability tool" and set it to "Proton: Experimental."

This is SO wonderful! Just bought as part of the bundle - thank you for your support and thank you for creating such a cute transformation game!

No worries, thanks for such a quick response!
I scrolled through some older comments and found a fix that worked for me - changing the 'respawn' value in the options.ini
such a cozy and surreal game, loved it a lot, it deserves WAY more recognition
