Kotone/Walkthrough

This is a detailed walkthrough for Kotone ' s content.

Walkthrough
WARNING: This walkthrough contains information that also spoils content with regards to the Will-Power Temple as clearing it is required to advance Kotone's relationship content.

For reference, in this guide, bold choices represent those necessary to progress through content. Italic choices represent options that give you points towards the relationship. Bold italics represent the best possible point gains in a specific set of choices. Underlined choices negatively impact the relationship with some possibly locking you out of content; the consequences of negative choices will be underlined.

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 Himika and Mizuko in their Hard Mode Battle with this handicap, you'll be able to progress in your relationship with her.

Kitsune's Mental Help
To begin with, Kotone's relationship will only advance if you subject yourself to her trap and allow her to place triggers in your mind during her hypnosis help sessions. When entering the hypnosis room for the first time, you'll be presented with these options:


 * 1) "Ask about her services." -- This will prompt Kotone to explain her hypnosis sessions to you, and prompt you to respond with:
 * 2) "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. In addition, the hypnosis sessions will award 1 point each for a total of  5 points.
 * 3) "What's hypnosis?" -- This option just provides general information on hypnosis itself for those interested in more information on the subject, and will lead you back to this menu without this choice.
 * 4) "I'll pass." -- Will lead you back to the general menu.
 * 5) "Talk." -- Brings up the talk menu, which at this phase, does not change your relationship with Kotone.
 * 6) "Leave." -- Exits the hypnosis room.

Upon reentering the hypnosis room after the first session, the first option will change to "Get a hypnosis session." which will progress your relationship with Kotone and deepen your hypnosis four more times. 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.

After the fourth hypnosis session, you'll be presented with choices:


 * 1) " 'Yes, Kotone...'" -- Progresses to the final hypnosis session.
 * 2) "'Y-You've been messing with my head!'" -- Adds two choices in place of this one:
 * 3) "'Let me go!'" -- Picking this will add another new option:
 * 4) "Run!" -- This will allow you to escape without any checks required.
 * 5) "Fight her!" -- Picking this does nothing and leads you back to the same menu.
 * 6) "'Y-You're supposed to free me! Mizuko told me!'" -- This choice will only be available if you've completed Kotone's challenge before receiving the final hypnosis session. Choosing it will add a new option:
 * 7) "Free me already!" -- You can be freed of Kotone's Hypnosis through this option if you wish.
 * 8) "'I-I should go...'" -- You can attempt to leave, which will start a Temptation check, requiring a 20 or more to pass. If you have a Kissing fetish, you will automatically fail. You can try again after failing once, but with a check requiring 25 or more. Failing this will force you to start the last hypnosis session.

After the final hypnosis session, you'll be given a few choices to react to Kotone's deeply controlling hypnosis:


 * 1) "'I-I love you.'",
 * 2) "'A-Are you sure you don't want to tease and torment me..?'",
 * 3) "'Th-That was amazing...'",
 * 4) "Stay quiet.", and
 * 5) "Glare at her defiantly." -- will all progress you normally.
 * 6) "'I-I trusted you.'" -- Leads to another set of choices:
 * 7) "'B-But- I-' (Break down crying.)" -- This will make Kotone apologize for going overboard with her controlling nature, and will give you another set of choices:
 * 8) "'I loved it... But...'"
 * 9) "'It was really relaxing...'"
 * 10) "'Not really...'" -- All three will lead to normal progression as well, and will change the dialogue slightly when you leave.
 * 11) "Stay quiet.", and
 * 12) "Glare at her defiantly." -- both do the same as the choices in the first menu.

No matter which choice you pick, you will progress normally through the content and obtain the Kotone's Hypno Slave perk and 1 point. The only way to break it off with Kotone is through purposeful choice, so have no fear on that front.

Once you have obtained the Hypno Slave perk, you can attempt to pass the Trial of Will, each part with an increased level of difficulty. Upon succeeding in both the Trial of Will and Trial of Strength, you can enter the double doors in the center of the Will-Power Temple. There you will encounter a group of Kunoichi and their teacher, followed by the boss battle of the area, against a pair of Oni twins. To progress down Kotone's relationship path, you must challenge both Oni at once while possessing the Hypno Slave perk.

If you are successful, you can return to Kotone, who congratulates you and states that you're now hers, and invites you into her room where a number of scenes become available.

Phase Two: Worthy of Trust
After passing Kotone's challenge, you will be able to select "Freedom." to get rid of the hypnosis, or "Kotone." where she will take you to her room for a sex scene which awards 1 point. No choices at the end of this scene will award any points, and you'll have another opportunity to free yourself. From now on, you will need 40 points total to see all current content. A deluge of options can be accessed in Kotone's Room, first however, I will run through what's changed in the hypnosis room's choices. You can now select any hypnosis session you'd like to replay, as well as go to Kotone's room from here. Some of her talk options will now give you progress towards your relationship with her as well:


 * 1) "Will trials.", and
 * 2) "Incense." -- do nothing.
 * 3) "The lighting." -- gives a choice:
 * 4) "Light a candle." -- Awards 2 points and gives another choice:
 * 5) "Console." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 6) "This is your own fault." -- Awards no points, and you cannot view this scene again to get the point above.
 * 7) "Let's not." -- Ends the conversation.
 * 8) "Fluffy ears and tail..." -- Leads to some choices:
 * 9) "Fluffy Ears." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 10) "Fluffy Tail." -- Leads to another small choice:
 * 11) "Touch." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 12) "Don't touch." -- Brings you to another choice with the same effects as these, except the "don't touch" option will end the conversation.
 * 13) "No." -- Ends the conversation.
 * 14) "Free me from your control." -- Brings you to a menu where you can choose to keep or discard the hypnotic effects from Kotone. You need to keep them to continue Kotone's content.
 * 15) "Done talking." -- Ends the conversation.

A total of 5 points can be gained by choosing the best options.

Now onto Kotone's Room menu:


 * 1) "Erotic options." -- Brings up sex options, most of which give points.
 * 2) "Cuddle." -- Leads to cuddling options which each give points.
 * 3) "Talk." -- Leads to the talk menu which is required to progress.
 * 4) "Hug Kotone." -- Awards 1 point for the first time.
 * 5) "Go back to the hypnosis room." -- Leads back to the previous screen.

Starting with the erotic options:


 * 1) "Have mind melting sex." -- Replays the initial sex scene that plays upon entering Kotone's Room for the first time.
 * 2) "Ask for a titfuck." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 3) "Ask to be her chair." -- Brings you to a choice:
 * 4) "Be her chair." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 5) "Back out of being her chair." -- Goes back to the erotic options menu.
 * 6) "Ask for a tailjob." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 7) "Ask for Lovey Dovey Sex." -- This option is only unlocked once you've met the point requirement and done specific scenes. As such, it doesn't give any points.
 * 8) "Something Else." -- Goes back to the Kotone's Room menu.

A total of 3 points can be gained in this menu.

Cuddle options:


 * 1) "Cuddle with Kotone." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 2) "Offer cuddling headpats." -- Requires you to have touched her ears in the hypnosis room, awards 1 point, and gives a choice:
 * 3) "Keep going." -- Awards 2 points.
 * 4) "Just cuddle." -- Leads to the post cuddle scene like normal.
 * 5) "Tail Petting." -- Requires you to have touched her tail in the hypnosis room and awards 1 point.
 * 6) "Ask to be pampered." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 7) "Something Else." -- Leads back to the Kotone's Room menu.

After any cuddle option and some sex options, four different post cuddle scenes have a chance to play, with some giving points depending on your choices. First is the normal post cuddle scene, which doesn't give any points. Next is a "Kill the bug" scene, in which you need to pick "Carefully take it outside." to gain 1 point. A nightmare scene in which you can pick "Hug the panicked kitsune." for 2 points or " 'Are you okay?" for 1 point'. And finally there is a surprise blowjob scene in which you automatically gain 1 point. These are randomly picked so you may have to pick cuddle options multiple times to get all points.

A total of 9 points can be gained from this menu with the best choices.

Now for the talk options, some of which you are barred from progressing with until you gain a certain amount of points or have explored another option:


 * 1) "Our Relationship." -- Opens the relationship menu.
 * 2) "So you have five tails?" -- Leads to a sub-choice:
 * 3) "Ask her age." -- This option only gives points if you have 20 points or more with Kotone. If you do, you'll gain 2 points and be given a sub-menu:
 * 4) "I like it." -- Awards 3 points.
 * 5) "You look pretty good for someone that old." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 6) " It's weird... " -- Detracts 1 point.
 * 7) "Let it go." -- Ends the conversation
 * 8) "Her hobbies?" -- Awards 1 point and opens the hobby menu.
 * 9) "What was it like before the current Demon Queen?" -- Brings up the "past menu."
 * 10) "Done talking." -- Leads back to the Kotone's Room menu.

Additionally, asking "So you have five tails?" again after learning about her age will give you a new sub-menu:


 * 1) "Why does it matter so much?" -- Gives some information and leaves you with the other three choices.
 * 2) "I'm sure I can help you grow more." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 3) "It doesn't matter how many tails you have." -- Awards 1 point.
 * 4) "Yeah..." -- Ends the conversation.

If you have met these requirements, these choices will show up:
 * 14) "Give her a hug." -- Awards 2 points and gives two more choices:
 * 15) "Give her another hug." -- Awards 2 points.
 * 16) " 'How can I help you work through this?" -- Awards 1 point'.

A total of 7 points can be gained from this menu with the best choices.

At this point, if you've gotten every possible point you can besides those barred by a point requirement, you should have a total of 42 points, however to ensure you don't get stuck, see all of Kotone's content, and can progress to the last few scenes of this phase, make sure you've done these actions in this order:


 * 1) Ask about Kotone's newer writing and follow the instructions for the best point gains.
 * 2) Ask about Feng in the past menu and follow the instructions for the best point gains.
 * 3) Ask about Kotone's age and choose the best option.
 * 4) Ask about Kotone's first lover and pick the best option.
 * 5) Ask if Kotone is afraid of a normal relationship and follow the instructions for the best point gains.

After you've done the last step, you'll automatically be taken to the "Therapy cuddles!" scene. After this scene, the cuddle menu will have the new choice, "Trust building tail petting." that will award 2 points. You need to choose this option three more times before Kotone's relationship progression can be completed.

After the second trust session, you'll have a choice:


 * 1) "It's okay." -- Awards 2 points.
 * 2) "What the hell just happened?" -- Awards 1 point.

The third trust session will award 2 points, and the final session will award 2 points as well.

After all this, you can then select "Lovey Dovey sex." in the erotic options menu, which will allow Kotone to grow a sixth tail, changes the Hypno Slave perk into the Hypno Lover perk, and changes some other options' dialogue. And with that, you have successfully completed all of Kotone's content in the current build! Enjoy having your mind melted over and over again... consensually this time!

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.

Notes:

 * You can visit Kotone before completing her challenge to check your progress.
 * The oni twins are difficult normally, for the best chance at facing them together, overleveling to about level 40-50 is recommended (I did it at 42 with quite a bit of difficulty).
 * with a lot of patience you can defeat them *somehow* while being between level 30 and 35... But I think that you, fellow Adventurer, have better *things* to do, by which I mean repaying debt. of course...
