KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

[Tweed]

I took the cash and don't regret it, I needed that money for levels, scrolls, and potions, especially after the lizardman fight.

Once you get the lizard king down to low HP, he'll summon a fucking hydra with 9 attacks per turn and health regeneration.

The witch coven seems too good to be true? 2 level 9 scrolls of my choosing??

Permanent hp loss , still it might be mandatory for chapter 3 to get them.

 

[Jasede]

Better choose wisely... what'd you pick, knowing the fights ahead?

Summons for sure , can never go wrong with those , and some AOE damage spells .

 

[Mortmal]

Not that it matter much , if you dont have top iniative they just nuke you and you cant even cast those level 9 spells.

 

[Tweed]

Ok, I concede defeat, this fight cannot be done.

 

[Jasede]

Mortmal did that fight you can't do, didn't he? Don't give up. What fight is it? Most of us are currently at the coven and the golem + 6 cubes + slimes + ???...

It's the upper sewers fight with the 31+ people and the demon they summon.

 

[Jasede]

Any scrolls you can get from the witches to help swing it? I figure if you can get Iniative you can open with a big summon or disable.

What about Dismissal? Load an old save and have a mage learn Dismissal?

I thought this was an RPG but it feels almost like a puzzle game.

Completely impossible , that leave a sour taste, the module is unplayable it's like a very bad joke.

Nothing can work . those 41+ enemies have blinding, sleeping arrows, half of them aoe spells fireballs, sandpits webs, dispels , yes those level 8 scrolls summons they get dispelled too .And then if youa re lucky they summon that demon invulnerable to anything.

Restart this , you cannot afford a single death.

Dispel magic works like dismissal

 

[Tweed]

I've tried earthquakes, wilting, anitmagic cloud, meteors, it doesn't matter. You have to win the initiative and nobody on their side can be allowed to successfully cast anything and since those one set of casters up on a different level they aren't affected by the same spells and then the demon gets added on top of that. Every single roll would have to be absolutely perfect and you'd still have to deal with the people on the upper level.

 

[Jasede]

git gud



I do not believe for a second Pierre beat this module without cheating.

 

[JarlFrank]

The gelatinous cubes
They
They can destroy your equipped items when they hit you

They can destroy your magic items you invested half your gold in

+3 sword of badassery, just gone

gone

hahaha

ahahahahaha

HAHAHAHAHAH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I'll be honest, I didn't expect to get this far, two of my chars have been dead since lvl 3, they just carry loot. The party is quite unoptimised, I've been mostly testing what works and what doesn't (most things don't, as the saved game selekted that's etched in my brain can attest to) and since it's extra buggy I'm putting off a tryhard playthrough for after the first fixes. From what I'm reading I'll hit a brick wall soon enough though so we'll see..

 

[JarlFrank]

The problem with this game is that its encounter difficulty is beyond fucked and it's more frustrating than fun most of the time, but the underlying systems are just so damn good I keep coming back to it. This has finally dethroned ToEE in D&D combat simulation, it has so much cool stuff in it it boggles the mind, but the difficulty level is so utterly cruel it makes you beat your head against the wall.

 

[Strange Fellow]

saved game selekted

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Yeah I'm done with this. I can't even get the game to start with all party members. I always have only 3 or 4 out of 6. Truly a shit tier mess.

 

[Abu Antar]

Well, I don't feel totally worthless. I got past the beginning and beat the fight in the following room. I had my half-giant fighter bust open the door, which gave me a surprise attack. With the help of summons and a 36 damage crit, I managed to win. Shit, I don't think I have the fortitude to survive this game. Might play a few more fights and then wait for updates.
