Aspiring Exile’s guide to friends and rarities

Overview

There’s a number of unique rarities and delightful people out there. Their placements aren’t random – each one is hidden in a specific city. This guide is to reference everything unique you might otherwise miss. Obviously, it’s a major moodkiller for Exile, so don’t use it. Or do.

Rarities

Items with high aspect power, 8 for most and wooping 12 for Grail. Purchase opportunities for most of them are randomly found when exploring cities. Comfortable. Unique. Expensive. They can be taken with you when running away, but each needs packing, and will slow your escape down. Some of them are used for special… things

Odd Little Bone – Forge rarity
City: Vienna

Grese Guitar – Heart rarity
City: Avignon

The Book of Suns, Reassembled – Lantern rarity
Assembled from 3 pages. Each page is a unique purchase, happening in one of 3 city groups. If you got page from Alexandria, you won’t find it in Samarkand anymore.
Cities:
Page 1: Alexandria, Istanbul, Samarkand
Page 2: Krakow, London, Tiflis
Page 3: Tripoli dell’ovest, Marrakech

Weapons

In absence of Edge rarity, we have several weapons to gather instead. Being items, they also need packing when on the run. 2 come from vaults, 2 are randomly purchased. Certain weapon is also used for… stuff.

Ebrehel, the Ragged Sword
City: Krakow
Vault checks: 4 edge/winter/heart, 8 winter/moth/lantern, 12 winter/heart

Imhullune Tectrix
City: Baghdad
Vault checks: 6 forge/heart, 10 moth/grail, 14 edge/winter

Biedde’s Blade
Possible to acquire now. It appears as a purchase opportunity when scouting cities. Not that easy to miss, but whatever.
Cities: Alexandria, Granada, Samarkand, Marrakech, Algiers, Istanbul, Meshad, Tripoli dell’ovest

Lionhunter’s Rifle
Limited amount of uses (only 3) makes this a perfect weapon to send to your Foe. Random purchase opportunity when scouting. I didn’t have a single run where this gun didn’t pop up, but let’s put it here for the sake of completion.
Cities: Rhenish Aachen, Amsterdam, Cluj-Napoca, Leningrad, Munich, Paris, Rostock, Strasbourg, Tiflis, Vienna

Allies

Great source of portable aspects – unlike items, they don’t slow you down on packing phase. ESPECIALLY great when fighting Foe – they can block him, and with enough allies you can rotate them effectively enough. Even if foe kills one of them, they’ll wound him in return. To make allies follow you on the run, you need to complete their personal vault mission, and stick around long enough to give them trophy. They will not follow you to Map’s edge though.

Lalla Chaima, the Huntress – Edge ally
City: Rhenish Aachen
Personal vault checks: 4 lantern/knock, 6 winter/forge/heart, 10 edge/moth

Zulfiya, the Barber – Moth ally

Ligeians

Ligeians are deadly. They may either offer you a hand, eat you, or help you with… business.

Sulochana – our good old friend.
City: London

Echidna – previously known as Mrs. E.
City: Marrakech

Frau Schlüssel – Sulochana doesn’t talk to her.
City: Vienna

Marinette – really far away from home.
City: Kiev

Medusa – what is not seen?
City: Budapest

Mme Matutine – not quite like the others.
City: Amsterdam

Invisible Serapeum

Unique vault. You are missing absolutely nothing from not breaching it – there are no items inside, but it offers several useful options when breached, like healing, covering your tracks or obscurity generation. Or, if you have a certain item, it can give you some lore explanation on… happenings.

City: Alexandria
Vault checks: 4 lantern/knock, 8 winter/moth/lantern/heart, 12 moth/lantern

The Wolfy places

Out of several cities where unfriendly canine lurks, those allow a special kind of revolution.

City: Tiflis
City: Stalingrad

Other places of interest

Those cities are important. For reasons.

City: Candia-Heraklion
City: Tripoli dell’ovest

Closing, on how destination decks work

Each of the escape destinations is a unique draw. You got one of the cities above – you better go there, and you better loot what’s in there, or it’s gone.

Not every city is available from any other city. Each city has its own deck of destinations you can depart to. You won’t get from Paris to Stalingrad – not directly at least.

However, it is theoretically possible to visit every normal city, even if your travel route would normally prevent it. Whenever city normal destination deck is exhausted by your frantic escape attempts, it will send you to Wilderness. In turn, from Wilderness you can get into literally any other city you didn’t contact yet. Yay, traveling!
