whereas moving towards Lawful Evil opens you up for the Devil Path later on.

Speaking of that. Now that I've retaken the city, is it normal that my devil bro is no longer in my court room?

"If that's not cope, I don't know what is. She's basically lying to herself, because everything that she's done has failed. Every single one of her paladins has failed, corrupted by degeneracy, ineptitude and blind faith.

She knows an Aeon can see her for what she really is: a scared little girl."

The one coping is you. LMAO

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Cope or no cope, all the gods and demigods presented are fools tbqh.

The only deity worth his salt is Papa Asmodeus. Wish he would've made a cameo too.

If you went towards Lawful Evil choices as an Aeon, you might get a surprise visit from him, or rather, his boss, shortly after you did your Rank 8 Transformation. I hope you brushed up on your Persuasion and Charisma skills.

Two more levels to go, breh.

A... interesting choice of companions for this character.

Not my choice of companions, I'm in Drezen so it displays the whole rooster.

I usually go Regill + Aru + Daeran + Cam + Ember. Now Cam has left me since I've stuck to the Aeon path, so I'll prolly replace her with either Greybor or perhaps with Sosiel's brother.

 

[Shadenuat]

I mean I'm surprised half of them aint dead.

I played a lawfun neutral, not evil, and I obviously executioned Woljif.

 

[Reinhardt]

agreed and Des was a really helpful poster

He has few thousands posts in same two threads while having 80+ people in ignore. Basically he was just talking to himself for hundreds of pages.

First playthrough serves to test the waters, so I try to do all companion quests as to know which would fit better thematically on subsequent playthroughs.

On my subsequent Devil playthrough, I'll use a custom party for the most part and either not recruit (e.g. Nenio and Ember) or execute a few companions (e.g. Woljif and Cam).

How rude. I liked to read (some of) his posts.

 

[Tacgnol]

Des did post useful info, but it's hard to deny he was a rabid fanboy.

I never really understood how he avoided getting the fanboy tag. Others got it for far less.

 

[Reinhardt]

What spells even fucking do attribute damage? None that I took at least.
I've tried all the positive energy damage I can, I can take maybe like 200 HP off him, but that doesn't even dent his health bar.
The only reason I can even last a few rounds is because Seelah has the Mythic feat where she won't die for a few rounds per day.

Dropping him is not that hard. I just facetanked it with 2 last standers on first try. Disabling regeneration is where things got tricky for me.

I expected something bad, but this... I played creepy japanese eroge games with better tactical gameplay.

Please, do yourself a favor and just spam those scorching rays and fireballs. At first, they only kill a couple of gargoyles (still speeding up crusade fights by something like 600%), but after a few level ups of your general they delete entire stacks in a single turn. The crusade minigame is unplayable without those direct-damage spells.

There should be a recruitable general with Scorching Ray and Master of Maneuver (the "stone wizard" guy), pick him because those are both useful perks. The "black woman wizard" is also fine, since she has Scorching Ray and you can select Master of Maneuver later.

It's pretty amusing, that in copying HOMM, they also managed to copy over the absurd OPness of magic heroes.

 

[gurugeorge]

HOw you guys spend 70 hours in two chapters? I completed the game in 54 hours... Played in RtWP mode with a small parfty. Was casting tier 8 magic in chapter 2(merging spellbooks). While in kangmaker, in my first run, I ended in lv 16.

I've spent a lot of time concurrently trying out lots of differerent classes and combinations out of curiosity. IOW I have two "main" runs (a good and an evil) and about a dozen other characters at various stages.

Scorching Ray is hilariously OP. Surely they're going to nerf it at some point?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

By the way, Shadenuat, I didn't even have to reach rank 8. Just had to finish judging everyone in the city.

Bro came back right away:

Two faggots hugging and a barrier down say otherwise. <3

Brown fur transmuter and Skald, buffers of heavens. They even could make

Stauton

viable with their abilities.
Thinking to roll melee invulnerable rager lich and hire those two as mercs. I'm pretty sure I can "solo" every counter with right feat setup.
This game is truly a build porn game and I'm loving it.

A lot of transmutation spells don't seem to work on

Spoiler

undead

, unfortunately.
I just added him mythic levels through a mod.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

And on that note, I absolutely love how they've written this devil character. He's just the perfect representative for a race of sly bureaucrats that know how to flatter when it suits their needs.

Devil mythic path spoilers

 

[Zayne]

Man, I was joking before but I finally got to playful darkness and am failing hard.
I'm too stubborn to just move on but too dumb to actually beat it.

What spells even fucking do attribute damage? None that I took at least.
I've tried all the positive energy damage I can, I can take maybe like 200 HP off him, but that doesn't even dent his health bar.

You can't beat her in melee without minmaxing builds. What you can do is rest, remember all the summons/nukes you can and kill her with magic while she's killing the summons. She doesn't have the Evasion feat, so you can even choose which spells to use. (unlike the certain dragon later, which has the untouchable AC and evasion, so you have a very limited choice of spells)

Also, if you have Cammy, be sure to use Creeping Doom, it ignores pretty much everything.

 

[NJClaw]

Let's hope they don't. I can't imagine slogging through that pathetic excuse for a minigame without being able to instantly delete 3 stacks of enemies with a fireball. A nerf to direct-damage spells is what would probably convince me to download the auto-win mod.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

By the way, I'm guessing that rank V is the maximum for the various crusade stats?

 

[Ramnozack]

Just noticed my magic negro sosiel has domain spells for all his gods domains, including ones from his impossible domain. For example he has air domain spells like shocking touch and lightning bolt even though I didnt take air domain. Is this bugged?
