Btw share strategies to deal with Playful Darkness on hard.

On hard I never tried, but in core, I followed the damaging attribute strategy :

my video

Despite lich domain of hungry flesh, there is any good source of attribute damage?

Wracking ray for STR and DEX
plague storm for attribute of your choosing
exsanguinate for STR damage
rogues, slayers, vivis can inflict attribute damage on Sneak attacks
off the top of my head

Depending on your party composition, you have a lot of options. With Seelah + Sosiel (if you impossible domain him to community) you can put down guarded hearth + smite him with the arodan's wrath scabbard smite and then just basically use the select + click attack strategy, with a fully buffed up group. Any class which can target touch+flat footed has no real issue either (sword saint, grenadier, etc). People playing lich have the option to stat drain him. If you can overcome his SR, heal or mass heal are an easy way to kill him as well, otherwise an angel MC has the option of just putting down multiple radiant grounds and simply waiting for him to die to the persistent heal which he cannot resist.

Biggest thing to note is that the specters he summons are actually more of a hindrance to him than to you, provided your entire party is death warded. They do 0 damage to anyone with death ward on, so if you position your party in such a way so that the specters are between him and you and they are body blocking him, then you can chip away at him with ranged weapons and he can't actually do anything to you.

Overwhelming shout is an amazing skill in crusader battles. DC 23 fortitude save that stuns all enemies in a 9 tile square if they fail it. And it costs no mana, I use it to perma stun 3 enemy units at the beginning of battle.

Thanks a lot but only a nitpick, wracking ray can't reduce attribute bellow 1 and requires a ranged touch attack against his high AC. Plague storm, maybe can work(I don't remember if he is immune to disease). As for the sneak attack, it requires hitting him in the first place...

Quick question, and it's really more of a rhetorical one:

Why won't Helrun step in and help me fight the vrock which is standing only about 50 feet from him and his two goons? I lead the thing back towards him hoping we can outnumber it and bring it down but he just stands there like an asshole while the vrock easily wipes out my entire party.

Please tag me with any replies, thanks.

Was it possible in Kingmaker to draw enemies to the fire of friendlies? I don't remember.

An autistic artist (aurtist?) has been drawing Pathfinder portraits whilst emulating its artstyle. The best portrait pack around, bar none.

You mean everyone is black, gay or furry? Yeah, he nailed that part of pathfinder experience.

It is possible, but friendlies need to be specifically flagged as willing to fight on your side, like soldiers in the Bloom/Last Chapter sieges or recruitatble friendlies against Stag Lord.

It is similar in Wrath, there is several packs of crusaders over the Market Squire that will fight on your side - and I use them as distraction quite often when soloing the place. But Hulrun is marked as civilian (due to reactions from NPC if you decide to kill him, I guess) so he ignores the demons and guards the hole.

Funny enough, this summonable Vrock mini-boss even kills best group of helpers on the map.

You mean he's ingoring demons just like he did all these years? That's just how best inquisitor Hulrun do his job.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Still would've liked him to play a more prominent role in the story. Good guy, albeit misguided.

Well, even my most Lawful MCs would've troubles to argue with Daeran's opinion on Hulrun from the Chapter 2 finale, spoilers!:

I usually take that Vrock after the assault on the tavern. 1 level extra really helps. And I make sure to have a Bless spell ready for the aftermath.

 

[Reinhardt]

Didn't launched game in almost two weeks. I think it's safe to say at this point that maybe i will finish it someday if billion patches won't fuck my saves for good but i will never replay it. Game disappointed me on the most basic level. It's completely devoid of what i expected most from game about crusade and fighting against the overwhelming odds. You know - all this outdated shit - heroism, sacrifice. Instead we go shopping with shaneekwa and posing for sosiel. And that's why it's woke shit, not because of some tranny hugs.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Btw share strategies to deal with Playful Darkness on hard.

High ac and high DR tank helps, even better if he has some kind of self healing. (Lich melee ftw). Or you can use summons to trap him in that corridor.
Wrecking ray and other kind of stat reducing spell, touch spells attacks and positive energy are your friends in that fight.

I think the issue is that you're playing a game made by Owlcat and not Larian. There is also nothing wrong with your mouse, the barrels really cannot be moved.

Hah, I am replaying this part (again...) and thing is, the hole that Hurlun guards is not always empty:

Spoiler

If the corrupted mongrels from prologue were not cleansed by the Light of Heaven, Hurlun is standing there and slaughtering them when they are trying to reach the surface.

 

[Reinhardt]

You just butthurt because your inquisitor will never be your waifu.
