This is a detailed walkthrough for the Manticore ' s content.

Walkthrough
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: A Worthy Mate
In order to enter into a relationship with the Manticore, you must have 12 points with her and become addicted to her venom to get to the relationship check event. The addiction can be raised by using 20 Manticore Spikes on yourself to gain 100 points of addiction (each spike increases the addiction by 5 points). Manticore Spikes can only be obtained as a drop from the Manticore herself, although they drop very frequently (exact droprate can be found on its page). You'll gain points to the addiction per certain scenes with her as well.

You can also meet the Manticore at the Brothel, which is an opportunity to score extra points depending on how many times you've slept with her there before meeting her on the Mountain. I'll explain how the Brothel point gains work first, but if you haven't met her there first or don't want to, you may skip ahead.

Brothel Meeting and Point Gains
When working at the glory holes in the Brothel, you have a chance to encounter the Manticore. Each time you view this scene, you gain 1 point for the brothel event only. When you have 3 points or more here, you'll have a chance to get rented to a room by the Manticore instead of being used at the glory hole. This scene will also award 1 point per time viewed here. If you have already met the Manticore on the Mountain, each point you receive for the brothel scenes will also contribute 1 point towards your relationship with the Manticore. Each scene in the Brothel also increases your venom addiction by 15 points.

If you met the Manticore at the Brothel two times or less and then encounter her on the Mountain, you'll automatically gain 5 points. If you've viewed Brothel scenes 3 times before the encounter, you'll gain an extra 5 points for a total of 10 points. Whether you've viewed the scenes once or thrice, you'll be given a choice:


 * 1) "Admit it" gives 3 points and brings you to the awake Manticore menu.
 * 2) "Deny it" does not award any points and brings you to the awake Manticore menu.
 * 3) "Attack" goes immediately into combat.

Meeting the Manticore at the Brothel first is really quite the boost with 13 points possible and is recommended if you want to become her lover quickly. However, if you'd prefer not to, next I'll run through meeting her on the Mountain for the first time.

Mountain Meeting
If this is your first time meeting the Manticore, you'll see her sleeping on her rock and be presented with these options:


 * 1) "Wake her" will lead to the awake Manticore menu, which includes talk options.
 * 2) "Sneak by" attempts to stealthily avoid her.
 * 3) "Attack!" goes straight into combat.

Being that we need to talk to get some points, here is the awake Manticore menu:


 * 1) "I wanted to talk" awards 1 point and opens the talk menu.
 * 2) "Fucked silly" awards 1 point and leads to a scene of you being milked with its own point gains I'll detail further on.
 * 3) "Just passing through" will lead to combat. Entering combat with the Manticore in through any choice awards you 1 point.
 * 4) "Attack" also leads to combat like the above choice.

The talk menu has these choices:


 * 1) "Ask her name." awards 1 point but she does not give you her name yet.
 * 2) "Do you live here?" awards 3 points.
 * 3) "Ask about her tail." awards 3 points.
 * 4) "What do you want in a relationship?" does not award any points.
 * 5) "Random Chat" up to 6 points can be gained from this option, one for each topic, but she can also decide to attack you.

A maximum of 14 points can be gained by talking with the Manticore.

The first time you finish talking, the Manticore will want to drain you of a load before letting you leave. Choosing "Take the deal" awards 1 point and if you then pick "Just one more time." takes you to the Are You Done Yet menu, which awards 1 point every time you reach the menu. You can choose "Just one more time..." as many times as you have Spirit to reach the Are You Done Yet menu multiple times. After the 5th time, the Manticore should become satisfied and award 3 points. You can then choose "Keep going..." to gain 2 points, and then reappear at the church.

Phase Two: The Final Test
At any point, if you've gotten 100 points towards your venom addiction, the event that decides whether you enter a relationship with the Manticore or not will play, but there's another important facet to her content. In the relationship deciding event, you can gain and lose points with the Manticore according to a few variables: how many times you met her at the Brothel, whether you talked and chatted with her, how many times you defeated her in the sex stance in combat, your current virility, and your total points after all the aforementioned two checks. Here's how many points each action awards you.

1. Brothel meetings:


 * 1) If you met her at the Brothel one time, you gain 1 point.
 * 2) If you met her at the Brothel three or more times, you gain 3 points.

2. Talking and chatting:


 * 1) If you've chatted with her (picking the "Random chat" option), but not talked with her (picking the "Ask about her tail" or "Do you live here?" options) you gain 2 points.
 * 2) If you talked with her, but not chatted with her, you gain 2 points.
 * 3) If you have talked and chatted with her, you gain 3 points.

3. Combat:


 * 1) If you've beaten her in any way once, you gain 2 points.
 * 2) If you've beaten her using vaginal sex once, you gain an additional 2 points.
 * 3) If you've beaten her using vaginal sex at least three times, you gain an additional 1 point.
 * 4) If you've beaten her using vaginal sex seven or more times, you gain an additional 5 points.

4. Virility:


 * 1) If your virility is 150 or greater, you gain 8 points.
 * 2) If your virility is 100 or greater but less than 150, you gain 5 points.
 * 3) If your virility is 75 or greater but less than 100, you gain 3 points.
 * 4) If your virility is 50 or greater but less than 75, you gain 1 point.
 * 5) If your virility is 25 or greater but less than 50, you lose 3 points.
 * 6) If your virility is 0 or greater but less than 25, you lose 5 points.

5. Total points:


 * 1) If you have 40 or more points with the Manticore, you gain 5 points and pass the relationship check.
 * 2) If you have 25 or more points with the Manticore, but less than 40, you gain 3 points and pass the relationship check.
 * 3) If you have 10 or more points with the Manticore, but less than 25, you lose 5 points and fail the relationship check.
 * 4) If you have 0 or more points with the Manticore, but less than 10, you lose 30 points and fail the relationship check.

To pass the relationship check, you must have 12 points total after the last check. However, to actually get into a relationship with the Manticore, you need a total of 21 points by the end of the dialogue, and you can only gain 6 more points after this check, meaning you need at least 20 points before the final check to pass. When you are confident you have enough points, increase your venom addiction to 100 and visit the Manticore again. This time, a different event will play and you will be presented with these choices:


 * 1) "Nod..." You must choose this to appear receptive enough to want a relationship with the Manticore.
 * 2) "Struggle against her." This option will lead the Manticore to cure you and set your addiction back to 50. Choose this only if you think you won't have enough points.

After choosing to nod, you'll be presented with three choices:


 * 1) "Beg for the venom.",
 * 2) " 'I-I think I'm hooked... '", and
 * 3) "'I am not addicted...'".

Choosing to tell her you're hooked will give you 1 point and is the best choice. All three will progress you to the final checks. You can tell if you've hit certain milestones by the Manticore's dialogue. If you pass the check, you'll have a few more sets of choices to go through before you're in the clear. The next menu is a list of questions:


 * 1) "Is there a way to get rid of the addiction?"
 * 2) "Why are you freaking out so much?"
 * 3) "Don't you want me to be your pleasure addicted slave?"
 * 4) "Do you care about me?"
 * 5) "How do you feel about me being with other women on my adventures?"
 * 6) "No more questions."

You must ask the first four questions in order to proceed. If you try to skip any or all of them, you will lose 2 points and be taken back to this menu. Next is your opinion on the relationship:


 * 1) "'I love you.'"
 * 2) "Pat her head."
 * 3) "'I want to make this work.'"
 * 4) "'I want to be your sex slave...'"
 * 5) "'I... I don't want this.'"

Choose "I love you" for 3 more points, and then "No really, I love you" for an extra 3 points.

If you have enough points at this junction, it'll come down to a simple yes or no answer. Choose "yes" to enter into your relationship with the Manticore.

Congrats, you earned it champ! Enjoy your new life as a cum-pump!
