Elona+ breeding guide

ELONA PLUS PREGNANCY/CHILDREN (2.14+)
last updated 2023-02-24
-------------

Howto:
Hit yourself or another NPC with a survivability extender
Acquire genes (direct transfusion, drain blood, little tail, evochat, etc) till 100% to start pregnancy
Eat till pregnancy hits 100%
Enjoy
To raise kids once they're born, gene engineering and investing in their growth are the two most important things.

Details:
Survivability extenders can be obtained two at a time from blackjack (get 25 points), and rarely from moyer, general stores, thief guild store, and on the floor in dungeons.
Gender doesn't matter at all here, anything you use an extender on becomes the "mother" and will birth a child. This includes you. You can use two extenders at the same time for twins, or more, up to 9 boys and 9 girls (though this is too many children to fit in the party)
First two gene donors will contribute their highest resistance to the target. You can donate the same resistance twice here. Final gene donor contributes their moveset. Any other donors don't matter.
If the player is the mother, NPC will be a copy of the final gene donor, if another NPC is, NPC will be a copy of them.
If sourcing genes from something non hostile but stronger than you, remember that your first hit won't aggro them, so either get to 95% off something else beforehand so you can do it in one or leave the map between hits.
Low health actions and any special AI routines don't appear to be affected, meaning the mother needs to have them for the child to. This also applies to moves from evolutions, evolving the child is the only way to get those.

Notable donors:
Everything will have a number next to it, like [1], giving a general indicator of when it can be encountered.
[0] - can reliably be encountered by a fresh character without needing to engage in any combat at all. This includes gods, as you can wish or pray at the truce ground during november to summon them.
[1] - can be encountered by a character during act 1/roughly at act 1 powerlevel
[2] - encountered during act 2/at act 2 powerlevel
[3] - ditto for act 3

Resists
Magic -  Bells[0], Karata the Seminar Mascot[0]. Once you have a child with magic resist, feel free to just use them as the donor instead.
Magic is what you'll most likely want, but if you care about the others, you've got elemental hounds, drakes, ents, etc
