Nakara: Unlocking Scenes.

What you need to know

Each gallery scene is tied to a specific level and enemy encounter. By completing the corresponding levels you automatically unlock the scenes, and you can also force‑unlock them by editing the local server settings file. The file to edit is gzdoom-User.ini in the game’s installation folder.

Step by step

1. Locate the game folder

   • Open your Steam library, right‑click Nakara, choose Properties → Local Files → Browse Local Files.
   • Inside the folder you will find gzdoom-User.ini.

2. Edit the ini file (optional for instant unlocks)

   • Open gzdoom-User.ini with a text editor (Notepad works).

   • Search for the line that begins with [Nakara.LocalServerInfo.Mod].

   • Add a new line before that bracket (keep the leading space) and paste the following block:

     [Nakara.LocalServerInfo.Mod]
     CheckCurrentDes=1
     CheckedGallery=1
     ClearedAnylabyrinth=4
     ClearedChaosRealm=3
     

   • Save the file and start the game. All gallery scenes will be marked as cleared.

3. Unlock scenes by playing the game (if you prefer not to edit files)

   • Dungeon level – defeat the Arachne and Direwolf encounters.
   • Path of Belief level – defeat Harpy and Spectregirl.
   • Chaos Realm level – defeat Kitsune and Ao Oni (both appear after you beat the level once).
   • Soul Prison level – defeat Beholder and Gargoyle.
   • Desert level – defeat Lamia Guard and Sand Witch.
   • Green Labyrinth level – defeat Moguring and Were Rabbit (these spawn each run).

   Completing each of these encounters automatically adds the corresponding scene to the gallery.

4. Special note for the Gargoyle‑related scene

   • When facing the Beholder in Soul Prison, you must escape the arena after the encounter. If you are on zero lives and fail to hide in time, the game will register an instant loss, preventing the scene from unlocking. Make sure you have at least one life left or hide quickly after being seen.

5. Verify your progress

   • Open the gallery from the main menu. All scenes you have unlocked (either by playing or by editing the ini) should now be visible.

Tips

• Editing the ini file is the quickest way to see every scene without grinding, but you can still enjoy the game by unlocking them through normal play.
• Keep at least one extra life when confronting the Beholder to avoid the instant‑loss glitch.
• The “CheckedGallery=1” flag is what tells the game the gallery is fully unlocked; the other flags record which levels you have cleared.
• If you edit the ini and the scenes don’t appear, double‑check that the added block has a leading space before the opening bracket and that you saved the file in plain text format.
