Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Is there an alternative way to exit after Forgotten Sanctum? Because as I said the gaem crashes every time I try to exit The Hall of the Unseen, so I reloaded an earlier save.

 

[Lacrymas]

Use the console to teleport yourself out?

 

[2house2fly]

You mean you can't exit the hall and you're before the DLC triggers? The only way out then is the way you came in, yeah

 

[TT1]

TT1 how can loading screens be modded in?

I am not sure exactly, but Spherikal was testing it to make loading screens more informational, with new images and informations.

Won't that destroy/disable dem precious achievements?

Ok, but after I triggered the DLC ( *lol* ) there is another way out?!

From the main area you enter for the Forgotten Sanctum DLC there are two exits - one is on the north side of the area, past the two imps, that one takes you on the world map. The other one is basically retracing your steps to the temple of Wael with the labyrinth, where you found the Eye of Wael sceptre and fought the spirits.

Yeah, that's the one I always get the crashes at.
But if there's the other one, I can try there.
Thanks!

Although I don't trust you anymore! You're a meanie!

 

[AwesomeButton]

I never had a crash in those areas or in Deadfire. I don't know, maybe I'm just very lucky or something.

 

[2house2fly]

I've had two crashes taking the vithrack dumbwaiter from the Enclosures to the Spun Terrace, and a few in other areas, but nothing replicable. I've had more problems with the menu screen of New Vegas

Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Engwithan Ruins Fight Hard Hahahaha Nigga Just Hire a Druid From the Tavern Like Nigga Use Charm Beast Haha

Seriously though I don't know what they were thinking with this. It's clearly meant for a 5 man party, just the boars alone can kill Eder in couple hits and without a druid you need at the minimum two (2) nature's mark and five (5) cinder bombs just to have a chance at killing them while choking them at the ramp.

You can't be playing worse than this guy, and he passes it like this: https://youtu.be/a7-b0OpxN1E?t=1582

I used to do it 3 man party but it's blood, sweat and tears by the skin of your teeth fight. Choking with your character and Eder on the other ramp, with a trap and cinder bomb, then using a nature's mark with xoti and healing as necessary is how I pass. However if you just hire a ranger and a druid from the tavern, the fight is trivial because you just charm beasts and kill the dragon, then clean up the rest.

Obviously 5 man it's much easier. I meant that the game encourages you to hire adventurers by not giving you regular companions before that fight, Aloth is behind and you only get Serafen after you are done with the Island. You could meet Aloth before the fight for example.

I know you can stealth, but that solution is obviously using a bug, so you may as well kill it with console.

maybe the drake got bored of hanging out with a bunch of panthers and fucked off somewhere

its diegetic

 

[FreeKaner]

Just hire a druid and watch them kill each other, no need to use console or anything else.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I don't know about drake, but I definitely got bored of having to suffer through that fight with a 3-man party every time I start a new run. It would be harder to abandon purist monocled principles if it was a boss fight with loot that gives you some advantage later. But sweating your balls to defeat a clump of random trashmobs is just silly.

 

[FreeKaner]

Port Maje is way overtuned. The game p. much has a reverse difficulty curve where it keeps getting easier but more busywork, except the megabosses I guess.

I just don't see why there needs to 7-8 level skeletons in the ruins with a skeleton mage that can oneshot your entire party with noxious burst in a place where you can arrive at level 3 and ideally level 4.

I've already suggested that. Apparently some people's pride is off limits for their own masochism, and they prefer to struggle with the encounter.

 

[Anthedon]

I'm glad I was reading this thread before starting my PotD playthrough. If I hadn't made a Cypher/Druid character I'd probably be shitposting too.

I can't wait to hear your feedback on the Old City or Sayuka, not to mention far-off side content like the Vampire Isle whatever its name was.

Agree in 1.0 I cleared Old City at lvl 6 with story companions on PotD. Now had to come back around lvl 12-13 to finish the questline, as a 3-redskull risen mage obliterated my party. And the land grubs are nothing to scoff at either if you are running with Galawain's challenge. I probably was overleveled at Sayuka, so was no problem at all. But that undead island, Splintered Reef... I have just finished all the fights in SSS (even the artifact ones) and killed Auranic and Dorudugan mega bosses but those Fampyr mofos handed my ass to me several times yesterday. I was not expecting to get into any trouble there at lvl 20, yet here we are, looking forward to somehow kill them today. :D

 

[AwesomeButton]

In 1.0 PotD wasn't working correctly, whether this was done on purpose or was a bug. Judging by LPs I've watched many people wouldn't have completed the game if it wasn't for the bug. All difficulty settings were serving the same numbers of enemies as Normal.

I've finished FS on PotD and my party is all lvl 20, but I want to try out SSS on PotD as well. However I am becoming convinced that the right difficulty for me would be Hard/Scale All/Only Upwards. PotD's extra enemies don't really require any change in tactics, and only add grind imo.

Oh man, you should never play Kingmaker, then
