Kyshakk Koan Txgangsta Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 This is my first play through of Avernum 4, and I realized that I've skipped the testing grounds. I seem to be stuck on the second one, north of formello. It says i have not suffered enough damage and did not complete the task. How exactly do you pass the test?

Kyshakk Koan wxxqut Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 You musnt attack it.Just let it beat you until it gives up.Eventually if you DONT fight, you dont die and enough time passes you will succed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 It's buff and heal. It helps if you also use cold resistance items. Move the highest health characters up to pin the testing shade away from the weaker spell casters. This test is probably the hardest since you want to fight and have to just sit there and take it.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 You need to take enough damage every round that you'll accumulate enough (invulnerability the whole time doesn't work), but not so much that you can't stay healed and alive. It's easiest to send in a single character to receive a beating and leave your priest(s) hanging back to cast healing spells as necessary. —Alorael, who definitely thinks this test isn't made for parties at a reasonable strength for when they first encounter it.

Unflappable Drayk Jeran Korak Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thats odd, I came through there first as an all-mage/priest party and brought it down to low health in a barrage of fireballs. The script activated and I was told I won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Txgangsta Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I've gone quite aways. I'm working west of remote right now, so health is not a problem. But I did beat the crap out of it, so ill just sit tight this time. Use the heal all every once in a while. Thank you for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Txgangsta Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Ok, I think i know what went wrong. You have to take so much damage, and with my characters at such high resistances, they weren't being hurt at all. I tri ed making it only attack my mage by attacking it, and it still failed, but when i took off all the armor and tried it again, I got alot more damage on me and it said i passed it.
