This is definitely looking like a filler, irrespective of chain direction:

[5]-[4]-You focus on the turret, looking for an opening to strike it for 12 stealth damage.
[1]-[2]-You focus on the turret, looking for an opening to strike it for 9 stealth damage.
[2]-You focus and slip in an attack for 18 stealth damage.-[4]-[5]
[4]-You focus and slip in an attack for 19 stealth damage.-[2]

I've never got the exhalation message in ~40 combats. I wonder if I need to make longer chains?

Given that blotted document was added to this wiki in 2015, then what available options were present at the time?

I have Desert Tongue, nothing special. I did not have the black tablet shard nor have Shard of Language, but still got "Even comparison to the tablet shard doesn't shed any light on the situation". (I have used the black tablet shard a bit this run).

Got the mushroom spade after pitching in 30 or so times

Could this help with blotted documents?

It seems that so long as I have used 2+ view before eyepiece summary, I get the unsubtle bonus

Maybe Sight Link related too?

Killed three hologangers using Switchblade opener and did not get Disappearing Switchblade. Used Backstab to kill a ganger and got Disappearing Switchblade. I think that's the trigger.

Nothing with Blood of the Ancients, with or without nightmarish eye.

I never got it the "easier" way — my hypothesis at the time was to just run up a decent amount of HQ Alert and then threaten people in the room at the end of the hall. Kinak says it might not technically be able to do without any fighting, but should be doable without any super hard fights.

No change with Blood of the Ancients to:

• A toy pistol appears in your empty hand, sending a bullet into the turret for 26 etheric damage.
• A bullet zips into the turret for 18 etheric damage.

Trying a Hel run, looking for the alternative way through Kinak mentioned. I was planning to fight the boardroom and then question them to see if that's it, but I'm so far unable to take down even one AVP. I'm rolling with reactive gear since they have a mix of ranged and stealth power, but it's just not enough. Any tips?

Also, I'm at 44 HP. Do I need dramatically higher and if so what's a good place to grind it?

You do not need a binding tome equipped, you can attack with the hounds, dealing no damage, then when you use this technique, the hounds will attack, maybe for less damage though

Nothing with Blood of the Ancients, with skull face or doll.

I think "hook" version is for aquatic opponents. (one counterexample is the writing mass underwater fight - might not be flagged as "aquatic".)

I got the gloves, but only after tagging more than ten sites

Flying Eye (0 ED):

Evil Eye did 2 etheric damage. You reflect part of its gaze, avoiding 1 damage.	-> You reflect the gaze at the eye, slashing it like shards of glass for 4 etheric damage.	3 EP
Evil Eye did 2 etheric damage. You reflect part of its gaze, avoiding 1 damage.	-> You reflect the gaze at the eye, slashing it like shards of glass for 3 etheric damage.	3 EP
Evil Eye did 2 etheric damage. You reflect part of its gaze, avoiding 1 damage.	-> You reflect the gaze at the eye, slashing it like shards of glass for 2 etheric damage.	3 EP
Evil Eye did 8 etheric damage. You reflect part of its gaze, avoiding 4 damage.	-> You reflect the gaze at the eye, slashing it like shards of glass for 14 etheric damage.	12 EP
Evil Eye did 9 etheric damage. You reflect part of its gaze, avoiding 4 damage.	-> You reflect the gaze at the eye, slashing it like shards of glass for 16 etheric damage.	12 EP
Evil Eye did 8 etheric damage. You reflect part of its gaze, avoiding 4 damage.	-> You reflect the gaze at the eye, slashing it like shards of glass for 12 etheric damage.	4 EP

Blocking 1 of 2 damage, Reflected Gaze seems to be -1 base power (2-4 dam @ 3 EP).
Blocking 4 of 8 damage, Reflected Gaze seems to be at least 2-10 base power (12 dam @ 4 EP). Definitely something going on there.

Getting hit by Focused Gaze gives: "Its focused gaze is diverted by your mirror."
Getting hit by Aid from Above gives: "You call for aid from above. A winged shape appears, gazing down at him, but its sight is deflected."

Nothing special for Dead Gaze, Evil Eye, Spearing Gaze, Spider Eyes, Withering Gaze
