KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

[Mortmal]

I got the golem battle in one try, lost my tanks though, good thing they handed out some true resurrection scrolls.

Hope you rezz in battle else they dont get that precious xp.

GODDAMN FUCK

Pulled this fight off really well, none of my ladies down, only the lizard king left to kill, then he goes and slips on my grease and falls down into the water and his turn gets stuck there. Waited 3 minutes for anything to happen before I begrudgingly quit the encounter. Gotta do this one AGAIN

 

[Jasede]

The Goblin King might be too much for me... he's summoning Vrocks in the surprise opening round and then Ettins and you start the fight in this awkward as fuck corridor...
God, I can't believe it just gets harder.

This isn't a videogame, it's performance art. Getting Over It, as an RPG.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Unelss there's an hidden mechanism so they lose control of it or something, its absolutely impossible.

Enchantment was big in KotC1, is dominate and stuff not a thing in this game?

Distract him by tossing up energy walls, webs, grease, and summons, he'll usually waste time dispelling them. If he does summon the vrock try and hit it with the Magebane.

I don't know how the hell I'm going to deal with this fight in the upper sewers, this is a case of needing the right scrolls from the crones and everyone winning the initiative. You know it's going to be a good battle when it opens with deep slumber, cone of cold, and fireballs on your party.

 

[Jasede]

Pierre, I can't breathe...

 

[Tweed]

I wonder, if you can kill that bitch in the opening round does it still summon the ice demon?

 

[JarlFrank]

Important question: is getting the kobold mage worth it? He'd take a cut of that sweet experience, wouldn't he?

 

[Jasede]

You have been surviving without him!?

King down, but it cost Sirocco as well as Greater Ice Storm...

I'd sure say it is, you're going to need all the help you can get.

There is, but its a high level spell , there's one scroll in a crate at entrance. When you hover the spell icon on the demon it says 10% chance....

I think i did the fights a little bit faster but start chapter with char at level 7 to 8 . I havent attacked the hag yet since there's still that tome of the dead quest.

 

[Abu Antar]

Guys! Let me explain my experience with this game!

Sit for 2 hours, creating a party, sipping on my tea and having the time of my life. I'll show these codexers how things are done.

Start campaign. I'll smash this, my party is cool as fuck. Hey! I passed a check with my mantis! Go forward, my brave warriors! Meet a mysterious figure. Fail a check versus portcullis. Get surprise attacked. Get avatar hit by every single attack. Game over.

I didn't even get a move in, oh my lord.

I'd much rather a remake of the first game in this engine than this nightmare of a module. Are there any easy/normal encounters after the oubliette or is it all nightmare difficulty?

 

[Jasede]

The Oubliette was the easy/normal encounters...

There's no easy normal encounters at all, although crypt was not too hard. Then it keeps getting worse and worse. Wont be surprised as well if you finish KOTC2 that some aliens will land and name you general for the upcoming galactic war.

 

[Dickie]

The Oubliette was the easy/normal encounters...

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's all somewhat reasonable until you beat the slimes. The nut kicks don't start until the sewers, but every fight I've seen in the sewers involves too much reloading.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

How the fuck am I supposed to heal my party? Every time my cleric tries to cast a cure spell the game crashes.

Nope. It just gets harder and harder. That first fight was the easy one.

 

[Dickie]

You might need to start a new game. Sometimes, my game seems to crash on the same thing over and over, but I start a new game and that thing doesn't crash. A good example is using a potion of water breathing.

 

[Jasede]

10 DR 20 HP +2 INT/WIS robes? FUCK I should have taken the robes...

 

[Lilliput McHammersmith]

The Oubliette was the easy/normal encounters...

Agreed. Every encounter requires meticulous planning and careful maneuvers as well as a healthy dose of luck.

 

[Pink Eye]

When that happens, I just wait until I get to an encounter. Then I heal in combat. Or, if I finish the encounter, I heal afterwards. For some reason it doesn't crash for me when I do an encounter. Just make sure to save though.

Mass Blur sounds great on paper. 20% concealment, which apparently translates to -20% CtH for enemies, for the whole party, lasting until rest. I invite anyone to tell me why it is in fact completely useless, because I'm sure it is somehow.
