The Pilgrimage review
Master Every Lewd Scene and Quest in Messman’s Adult Adventure
Ever stumbled into ‘The Pilgrimage’ and felt that rush of discovery in Messman’s gripping 3DCG adult game? I remember my first playthrough—pirate deals gone wild, unexpected showers leading to steamy alien encounters, and battles that left me breathless. This guide dives deep into the game’s core, from hacking tools to docking bay quests, helping you unlock every lewd cutscene and hidden gem. Whether you’re chasing the red sharkdog thrill or Jesora’s allure, I’ve got the actionable steps to elevate your journey. Let’s embark on this seductive odyssey together.
Unlocking Lewd Scenes in The Pilgrimage?
Alright, let’s get into it. If you’re anything like I was on my first run of The Pilgrimage, you’re probably wandering the corridors of the MS Calamity wondering how the heck you actually see the good stuff. 😅 It’s not always obvious! I spent hours being weirdly polite to pirates and aliens before I realized this game rewards bold (and sometimes deliberately bad) choices. Unlocking the best The Pilgrimage lewd scenes is all about knowing where to push, when to lose a fight, and which shady deal to take.
This chapter is all about those pivotal moments. Forget dry instructions—I’m going to walk you through the juicy bits just like I’d tell a friend who’s stuck, complete with the mistakes I made so you don’t have to. Let’s talk pirates, strange creatures, and the secrets hiding in plain sight.
Pirate Deal Choices and Shower Surprises 🏴☠️🚿
Early on, you’ll meet the sneering Pirate Captain in Docking Bay #2. This is your first major narrative branch and it’s a fantastic one. He’ll offer you a pirate deal in The Pilgrimage to basically look the other way. Now, here’s what I learned the hard way: there is no universally “right” choice. Each path locks and unlocks completely different content.
On my first playthrough, my instinct was to be the hero. I turned him down flat. 😤 Big mistake? Not at all! This path leads you to one of the game’s most uniquely hilarious moments: the dickbutterfly alien shower scene. After refusing the deal, continue your main quest until you need to access the ship’s water purification system. You’ll find a certain… multifaceted alien creature trapped in the pipes. Helping it (which involves a mini-game of clearing blockages) results in a “grateful” and very intimate shower encounter. It’s absurd, funny, and a perfect example of this game’s weird charm.
But I was dying to know what I’d missed! So on replay, I took the deal. 🤝 This opens up access to the pirate ship, where you can explore and find another set of interactions. You won’t get the shower scene, but you gain leverage, some extra credits, and the chance to snoop for other secrets. The key takeaway? Save before this conversation! It’s the gateway to two totally different story experiences.
Pro Tip: Always check your LEWD LEVEL in the character menu. Some of these scenes, especially the more intense ones, have minimum requirements. If a scene isn’t triggering, that’s often why.
Red Sharkdog Encounters in Docking Bay #1 🔴🐕
Okay, let’s talk about the scene everyone whispers about: how to unlock the red sharkdog scene. This is arguably the crown jewel of the game’s adult content and it is so easy to miss completely. It requires a specific combination of item fetching, combat, and… deliberate failure.
First, you need to have reached LEWD LEVEL 20. This is non-negotiable. You’ll get points from other earlier scenes, so if you’ve been exploring, you should be close. The scene triggers in Docking Bay #1, but only after you’ve completed the “Strange Bones” side quest from the creepy biologist in the lab.
Here’s the step-by-step I wish I’d had:
- Step 1: Get the “Strange Bones” quest from the Biologist in the Science Medbay.
- Step 2: Travel to the Prison Block. You’ll find the odd, glowing bone in a vent in the lowest cell block (use your scanner).
- Step 3: DO NOT return the bone immediately. Instead, go to Docking Bay #1.
- Step 4: You’ll be ambushed by the Red Sharkdog. Here’s the critical part: you must lose the battle. Fight until your health is low and let it defeat you.
- Step 5: The “loss” triggers a unique capture scenario. With the bone in your inventory and a high enough LEWD LEVEL, a special, extended scene will play out.
I fought that thing ten times trying to win before I realized losing was the objective. 🤦♂️ The game cleverly subverts the usual “win to get the reward” trope. It’s a wild, intense encounter and is 100% worth the build-up.
Jesora Quest and Gorilla Cage Moments 🦍❤️
The Jesora quest walkthrough is your ticket to one of the more emotionally charged (and then wildly physical) storylines. Jesora is the brooding crewmate with personal baggage. To start her questline, “Old Scars,” you must first complete the main story mission “Pirate Incursion.”
Once that’s done, find her in Docking Bay #2, usually brooding near some cargo. Talking to her here will start her personal mission, which involves tracking down a stolen family relic from the pirate captain. It’s a classic fetch quest, but the payoff is big. Completing it not only boosts your rapport with her but is the absolute prerequisite for her later scenes.
Now, for the gorillas! 🦍 With the Version 1.1 update, the game added two incredible gorilla cage lewd Pilgrimage scenes that are easy to mess up. This is all connected to the “Primal Security” side quest.
- Scene 1 (Caged): After starting the quest in the Zoology Lab, you’ll be asked to administer a “calming agent” to the gorilla in its cage. If you have lubricant in your inventory (buy it from the sketchy vendor in the engineering deck), you can choose to “Apply Alternative Calming Method.” This leads to a risky but safe interaction while the gorilla is still caged.
- Scene 2 (Unleashed): This is the game-over path, but you should absolutely save your game and try it! Later, if the gorilla gets loose and ends up in the Medbay, you can choose to “Subdue Physically.” You must lose the battle here. The ensuing game-over scene is, let’s say, primal and consequential. It’s a totally different variation from the caged scene.
The beauty of The Pilgrimage lewd scenes is in these variations. My advice? Embrace multiple saves. Be a hero in one, a scoundrel in another, and a curious explorer in a third. Always check your quest log for marks, and your inventory for weird items that might be useful. The game is constantly rewarding your attention to detail.
To wrap it all up, here’s a quick-reference table I made for my own playthroughs. It should help you keep track of these major triggers:
| Scene Name | Key Requirements | Location | Version Added |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dickbutterfly Alien Shower | Refuse the Pirate Deal | Water Purification Deck | 1.0 |
| Red Sharkdog Encounter | LEWD LEVEL 20, “Strange Bones” quest item, Lose the Battle | Docking Bay #1 | 1.0 |
| Jesora’s Rapport Scene | Complete “Old Scars” quest line | Jesora’s Quarters | 1.0 |
| Caged Gorilla Interaction | “Primal Security” quest, Lubricant in inventory | Zoology Lab Cage | 1.1 |
| Unleashed Gorilla Game Over | Loose gorilla in Medbay, Lose the Battle | Science Medbay | 1.1 |
There you have it! Mastering these secrets is what turns a good run of The Pilgrimage into an unforgettable one. Now go on, get out there, and see what other secrets you can uncover
From pirate ship infiltrations to those pulse-pounding gorilla battles, ‘The Pilgrimage’ delivers an unforgettable mix of quests and intimate encounters that keep you coming back.
