Difficulty Rising-And im loving it!!

[Death Knight]

I was seriously just waiting for the difficulty to rise and now it did. I am seriously loving it. I havent played a game like this as mostly games follow the format of-Hard from the beginning to the end-geneforge. Or easy from beginning to end, with minor problems. Usually there is a medium of games where the difficulty is average throughout the game, but avadon would be easy till this point, now partially challenging. Kinda cool for a change if you ask me.

Ok, i am at a bit of a crossroad. Ive tried for an hour to try and get past the berazu dungeon but i am at a tough spot and feel like there is something i am doing wrong. There is a demon that is just standing on a circle watching me as i fight wave after wave of demons. The waves never end. There are 2 wheels and whenever i press one, nothing happens. Is there something i am not doing right. I dont know where to go or what to do.

[Lilith]

You're supposed to make your way to that demon and kill it. The cheap way is to shoot it with missile weapons from across the water: you can get just within range if you stand in the right position.

[Mod.]

Didn't know there was a spot where you can hit him. Move one character to each wheel and try to move it on their turn. I think you might have to move the farther one first. Once both are turned, the demon will come to you.

Well, now i am screwed. I just spent an hour and a half fighting the battle against a dragon only to lose because the game didnt allow me to win. I beat the first guy, then the second, and finally after 1 and a half hours, i cant beat the 3rd. That bastard dragon keeps healing him.

[Quiconque]

Yeah, that's a particularly tough fight. The demon fight was hard but the dragon fight is even harder. It's possible to beat, though.

[Lilith]

Yeah, you need to be able to consistently put out a decent amount of damage to the guardians in order to kill them. Speed potions help, since twice as many actions means twice the damage.

 

By the way, please cut out the homophobic slang; there are people here who find it offensive.

The guardians heal the dragon only when in range. I just lured her to the SE corner of the map, before she activated any guardians. By the time backup arrived, it was too late.

[Death Knight]

Luckily, after 2 tries, i managed to understand everyone's advice. I focused all my efforts on the soldiers and it worked. It seems like some of the fights in these games, (probably avadon and avernum) are actually intimidating as you are only 3 (or 4) characters against who knows how many monsters and enemies. The intimidation can kill you.

[Gerry Quinn]

It wasn't that tough - did it first try. Obey the cues related to the pylons and move to the west or east when necessary. Apart from that just stay alive and kill the puppets. You can't hurt the dragon, I think.

[Death Knight]

Ive got a question. Does the difficulty change much after the Moritz-kri mage fight? The game went from almost effortless to pretty challenging. Im currently at the moritzkri mage fight and decided to experience farm a bit with the sidequests so i can get a bit of an edge when i try fighting him again. Im hoping that im getting closer to the end of the game. It seems like so far, all spiderweb games ive played are fairly difficult games.

[Lilith]

The game does continue to get harder as you go on. There are a few optional fights near the end that are more difficult than anything else in the game.

[Gerry Quinn]

I let the mage go - I wouldn't be surprised if she is one of the harder enemies.

 

As Lilith says, the difficulty continues to ramp up, but not to excess, and the hardest fights are made clearly optional.

[Jerakeen]

Yes, she was harder than her boss, actually.

[Randomizer]

Initiate Hema is one of the five toughest fights in the game.
