    Are you talking about soul eaters in V's tomb? I think that WIS drain can only be prevented by Fortitude save.

    Flaming Glaive was the best weapon I've found for Amiri.

    It's a low-key nitpick but when MCA had some of the writing edited to make it sound more natural they completely skipped the fucking "placeable" item descriptive texts. They're all in Russian-style.

    For example:

    "Statue is covered in blood."
    "Chair is rusty and broken."
    "Sparks surround orb."

    No articles! It's jarring every time.

    Left click on a spell and you deactivate auto-casting. Or activate the ones that can be auto-cast.

    Edit: Also you can use a lot of help for the the Stag Lord fight. Try to recruit his right hand, kill his other hand and be nice with the OwlBear.

    Guys help me out please. My Harrim suddenly decided he doesn't want to run anymore. He just walks. Not encumbered, has +10 movement speed boots on, no party encumbrance, no bad weather. He's just being a dick I suppose. I tried couple of solutions offered on steam (such as stealth on/off, reload, reinstall (!), pause on/off), nothing works. Pls halp, this is ruining my game.

    When it happened to me, reloading fixed the issue.
    Did you try remove curse? Treat affliction? Reloading a previous savegame (one where Harrim ran normaly)? Using Haste?

    Vordakai fight is probably the easier fight in the whole dungeon.

    This game really treats mages (and so liches) badly.

    Seems none of them are. I just fought Harulka and Tartuk at lvl 7, Harulka only lived 2 rounds, Tartuk only 1.

    tried all of that. Thing is I switched to Tristian at some point (Harrim still used to run around) and now when he's done his sneaky thing, I tried to use Harrim and he no longer wants to run. literally crawls, and the whole party does too, if I select all of them. If I pick just five - Harrim they do run. Tried remove curse, but he aint cursed. As for affliction he isnt afflicted either but will still try that now.

    I read somewhere that the game doesn't tell you when a character has some weird condition like "insanity". I would try, remove disease, curse, greater restoration - any cleric spell that remove conditions. If nothing works, then have him die (kill him slowly with fireballs or send him alone vs some creep) and ress him.

    Vordakai is also a weak narrative point. I mean, forget how mages are not BG2 levels.... he's supposed to be a thousands years old lich with a direct connection to Charon.

    Yet, your lvl9-11 party can finish it off in 2 rounds.

    Also, why doesn't he use the fucking oculus on you?

    I felt pretty meh. Seriously. The water elementals before him were far more problematic and raped my party 3 or 4 times.

    insanity is shown as a debuff.
    you probably tried it all but remove all of his equipment and quick slot and change map. what does it display when you mouse over his movement speed?

    as for vordakai the game tells you "years have taken its toll on him". he does use it on you and your whole country, it takes a long time appparently (all those magic build up events that give you game over at the end).

    Maybe we should complain in their discord so they buff the Vordakai fight. It is a shame that he talks the big talk but cannot walk the walk.

    When you find out it's pretty easy to "chain of light" astradaemons... I just used death ward and that spell and I managed to kill everyone easily.

    I found the room with cyclops popping out of the fucking walls the more difficult fight. I had to redo that several times fully buffed.

    The research into the various curses is the fucking Bear Lore of this game. I mean, you normally spend months to research that shit and get +2 Divine or whatever? THANKS GUYS.

    Or provide the party a narrative way to deal with him. Like the Stag Lord's wine or something.
    A debuff ancient amulet you brought with you specifically for him. Anything really.

    Ahaha, Val just got abducted during the Technic League Random(?) Encounter, so I went after them - that Kalannah woman was chain summoning wolves which attacked her own guards. :lol:

    The early chapters are sure super polished already... :roll:

    Also, the whole thing is a bit stupid - you encounter those assholes and the whole thing is obviously set up in a way that you can only lose, yet when you go after them, suddenly they are pushovers?
    Well, whatever...

    He is able to use it "fast". He used it on the guy who gives you the Candlemere quest. Yet when you are in front of him, nothing.

    Not sure who thought it would be a good idea to have slightly buffed solitary 13th level Wizard as a boss for a level 10-11 party of 6. He did manage to kill Octavia in the first round by casting Finger of Death on her, but then the rest of the party just curb-stomped him.

    Also, it bugs me how they nerfed Finger of Death/Wail of the Banshee so that it's only 10 damage per caster level instead of killing you outright. Plus, in Forgotten Realms, a creature killed by FoD can't be resurrected, making it a fearsome spell you have to counter or you're potentially permanently fucked. Here it's just another single-target nuke. :decline:
