Kotone

Kotone is a sultry Kitsune woman who presides over the challenges of the Will Side of the Will-Power Temple, repeatedly tempting you with hypnotic offers of pleasure. Behind her seductive exterior, however, hides a very troubled soul who is haunted by her past.

In-Game Description
"A tall, beautiful, pale skinned and curvaceous woman with long, honey colored hair that hangs down to her waist, parting at her forehead and around her two fluffy looking white tipped fox ears that sprout from the top of her head."

"Her eyes are a deep blue, which are accentuated by her dark eyeliner. She has a soft, kindly face, and her full, luscious lips are covered with a subtle peach colored lipstick.\n\nA necklace of dark crystalline orbs loosely hangs around her neck with a larger and more striking orb resting in the middle just above her soft looking DD cleavage, catching the light in a beautifully mesmerizing way."

"She's wearing a regal blue kimono that's deliberately loosened around her captivating chest while remaining elegant and graceful at the same time. An intricately designed piece of blue cloth is woven into a tight bow around her waist, pressing into her curvy hips in an incredibly sensual way."

"The hem of her luxurious kimono drapes down to her feet and clings to her long legs every time she moves in eye catching ways."

"She's wearing a pair of silken white tabi on her feet, and a large honey colored fox tail with a white tip sprouts from an inconspicuous hole in her kimono just above her rear, swishing gently side to side from behind her."

Becoming her Slave
Entering her room in the temple and talking with her will grant you access to her special 'services'. She will grant you several hypnosis sessions, with the first one even being free! After that, they are 100 Ero's each.

Her Hypnosis sessions grant you several benefits, such as raised willpower and resistances, however completing every session will grant you the perk: Kotone's Hypno-Slave. The perk cannot be removed until you defeat Mizuko and Himika and inquire about Kotone's "Challenge" with them.

Completing the Challenge
After acquiring her perk, she will urge you to complete the dungeon while under her influence. This includes both the Will and Power sides, and then beating the Oni Twins on "Hard Mode" (See their page for more details), all while carrying her perk. You must upgrade your Willpower to beat the Will Side and have enough max Arousal to withstand her quiz, as you will be forced to go through all of its questions, including an extra one at the end.

The challenge is very difficult and should only be attempted at a very high level, at least 40. If possible, it may be best to acquire the Nymph's Blessing perk for the extra 2 Spirit.

Upon completion, she will take you into her room and the two of you will enjoy one-another's company for a long while, giving Kotone the sexual release she has yearned for. This will grant you the perk Kotone's Blessing, and allow you to remove the Hypno-Slave perk. However, keeping this perk allows you to begin earning relationship progress with her; see the below section for details.



Affection Progression - Contains Spoilers
WARNING: This walkthrough contains information that also spoilers content with regards to the Will-Power Temple as clearing it is required to advance Kotone's relationship content. As an additional note, for conversations that have multiple responses, the best response with regards to point gains will be in bold text.

Phase One: Worthy of Love
Kotone's relationship content currently requires the player to either willingly or unknowingly fall for her trap. Kotone's offer of mental strengthening to make the Trial of Will of the Will-Power Temple easier is a trick. While she will increase your Willpower as promised, she'll also layer in more suggestions and hypnotic controls to allow her to dominate you more easily and vastly increase the challenge of the Temple. However, if you can clear the Will Side of the Temple as well as defeat the Oni Twins in their Hard Mode Battle with this handicap, you'll be the first person who has proven worthy of her love as Kotone has old-school Monster Girl sensibilities and wants a man who can pass her test.

Kitsune's Mental Help
To begin with, Kotone's relationship absolutely will not advance at this point in time unless you subject yourself to her trap and allow her to place triggers in your mind during her hypnosis help sessions.

1. "Ask about her services." -- This the first step to subjecting yourself to Kotone's trick so that you may eventually pursue a relationship with her. You can explore her other dialogue options for now, but you will not earn any progress. Doing so could still be worth it for any potential information provided or to compare and contrast her behavior.


 * A. "Sure." -- This will lead to your first hypnosis session, Flame Induction I, where Kotone will use a mote of foxfire to hypnotize you. The end result of this is that you will receive the perk Kotone's Hypno Training 1, a purely beneficial perk that increases your Willpower by 1, but it also lays the foundation for Kotone to place more triggers in your mind during future sessions as it increases the hidden fetish of Hypnosis Addict.


 * B. "What's hypnosis?" -- This option just provides general information on hypnosis itself for those interested in more information on the subject.


 * i. "Sure." -- This is the same as the prior option A for "Sure."


 * ii. "I'll pass." -- This is the same as the following option C for "I'll pass."


 * C. "I'll pass." -- This is the worst option given that you cannot advance with Kotone without allowing her to hypnotize you completely.

2. "Get a hypnosis session." -- This option is unlocked after you have your first hypnosis session and have acquired Kotone's Hypno Training 1. These sessions will cost 100 Eros and will need to be repeated until you have acquired the perk Kotone's Hypno Slave. The first paid scene will be Flame Induction II where you'll be hypnotized with foxfire again. This will upgrade the prior perk into Kotone's Hypno Training 2, increasing your Willpower by 2 instead of 1 as well as adding a 5% resist to the Sleep status effect. However, it will also decrease your resistance to the Trance status effect by 5% as well as increase your hidden Hypnosis Addict fetish to level 2.

Phase Two: Worthy of Trust
Now that you have passed Kotone's trial and proven yourself worthy of her love, it is time to deepen your relationship with the beautiful Kitsune. Unfortunately, a betrayal in her youth has left an indelible scar on her psyche that she has been unable to overcome alone. By increasing her affection and earning her trust, you'll be able to help heal her heart, receiving more rewards as well as a more equal and truly loving relationship.

Phase Three: ?????
Kotone's next phase of content is currently unknown as of this time. She does have more content planned however as well as her involvement with other characters such as Feng.

Old Brief Walkthrough - Temporarily retained until this section is complete.

L30 recommendation:

For Kotone, first you need to go through all of her dialogue chains and pick the nice/caring/supportive responses to build up her affection/progress. Once you have gone through all of those and listened to her more tragic stories, notably the ones about Feng and her first love, then you're nearly there.

As it sounds like you have done all of this, the last steps to truly becoming her lover begin with the dialogue option "about our relationship." During the followup responses with regards to the hypnosis, you need to pick the option that states that it is "a pain while adventuring." Kotone should have a nervous response to this and if you have obtained enough affection/progress points and learned all of her tragic history, then a new dialogue option that states that she doesn't trust you should appear.

That dialogue option will kick off the final stages of advancing from her Hypno Slave to her Hypno Lover as you help heal her heart and get over the trauma by touching and petting her tail. There will be several events for this that you'll have to go through, but at the end of this chain of events are the Hypno Lover perk upgrade to replace the Hypno Slave perk, the ability to have lovey-dovey sex with her, and the ability to touch, pet, and cuddle with her tail along with a now fully devoted kitsune lover.

Thank L30 for hard work.
