Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I haven't seen any thread yet discussing strategies/locations/walkthroughs for this. Does anyone have any info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Strategy - start praying because these areas are tough and Jeff scripted them so they each need to be done mostly the way he planned them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 There are lots of little challenge areas scattered throughout the game this time instead of one big one. Click to reveal.. The first big challenge you're likely to come across is the Crypt Wight under the Memorial Grounds. It's essentially a slightly more complicated version of the Soultaker battle from A5. There's another, arguably even tougher fight in a different tomb that requires 12 tool use to get into. The Honeycomb is a nightmare if you rush there as soon as it becomes accessible. If you save it until after you've cleared out the Eastern Gallery, it'll still be a challenge. There are some Darkside Loyalists hiding in the Abyss. They put up a solid fight if you try to press too far into their hideout. You could also try to kill Lord Farrar as soon as you meet him; this is inadvisable. An old friend living in the Eastern Gallery in A4 makes a return in A6. He's actually easier this time, and the battle with him is more fun. Surviving long enough to get to him is no picnic, though. Trying to clear out the chitrach nest is a fun time, too. Basically, if you explore each part of Avernum fully at the time it becomes accessible you'll find at least 3 or 4 places where you're out of your depth. Some challenges will be just one fight, but a tough fight: others will be a whole map area or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 So there's no "final challenge" boss that will wipe the floor with you, like the Black Horror in A5 or Samman in G5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, Melanchion isn't so hard. The Wild Abyss Wood Darkside Loyalist base and below Marauder's Hideout are harder because of the scripting that only allows the boss to take damage in certain ways. Even the boss in the Skeletal Ruins is harder with the two part fight to eliminate the lich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk The Knight Who Said Ni Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 No, Erika is dead but her tower still exists, and not the one in Upper Avernum. I am not sure if you can access it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 You can access the ruins of Erika's Tower and Gladwell's last quest gives you access to more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
