Tenderfoot Thahd Ze Large Cow Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Ookay, I am in the final rom in the eastern Avian Fortress (one with the two Avian Royals and the three Svian Lords) I have killed everything except the three Avian lords, a demon, and one red soldier. The lords are down to about 60 health. I am out of spell points, which is bad because I am Sorcerors. I do have one guy with the Sorceror's Blade that can do 11-12 damage if he hits, but no one else can really fight melee. My character editor is affected by an odd bug that causes it to go blank whenever I try to save, so I can't use it. HELP! CAn I win? I'm down to an average 20 health.

Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 If you have to start over, try focusing your fire on the Avian lords. Killing one will either make the other flee or just end the battle (forgot which in this storyline, sorry.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish TakenName Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 You only have to kill one. My personal favorite strategy is to place fire barriers lining the wall of the hall, anti-magic fields coupled with a few guardians, SLOWLY lure out the avians using weak summoned monsters, then when its only the lords and maybe two others, wait out your antimagic fields, and charge in. Then again, this uses massive amounts of MP. Also, jsut reitereating Turumby's comment, you only need to kill one lord, the others fly away instantly, along with most (I think i coutned it at 4/5) of the other avains in the castle(assuming you haven't already killed them) Charm is a great spell for this fight as well.

Tenderfoot Thahd Ze Large Cow Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Thanks guys, I beat that fight and beat the Sorcerors storyline. It was kinda disappointing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Yeah, the Sorceror plotline is generally regarded as by far the weakest. Give the Bodyguard one a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I just remembered something. They give you a reward at the end of each storyline, according to the text at the end, but I never received mine in any of the three storylines. Am I supposed to get them?

Articulate Vlish TakenName Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 hmm, been a while since i've played, but i believe it was just gold. I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Several people have stated that the Sorcerers' story line was not all they expected, but IMNSHO it's the culmination of the Arachat story which is stated throughout the trilogy. I played Bodyguards, then Holy Ones, then Sorcerers. I think that's the best order to understand the trilogy in it's full context. Once you understand that all you have to do is defeat one of the two Avian Lords, it's an easy battle. In all three scenarios I concentrated on one Lord only to "beat" this battle. With the Sorcerers, use "Antimagic Field" to nullify the Spellcasters and Lords. It makes it a lot easier. Try doing the whole trilogy. It's one large story told in three parts. Obviously, I thought it was a really good scenario, but then, I don't go for the "deep" ones. ;^} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I remember in one, I supposedly received armor, and in another it was a knife. Am I supposed to actually receive these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 IIRC: You can "save" anywhere in the storyline, but the "ending" of each section, although stating that you are "thanked" by the peoples of the Triane, is an individual, "ending". Yes, you are "rewarded", but that "reward" is only part of the "closing" of that "section of the "story". For instance: If you "should" start a section at level 1, then complete it at level 10, you'd start the next at level 10 and end at level 20, then the third section would start at level 20, ending at level 30. Playing a level 1 scenario with a level 10, or 20 party would be equivalant to playing with a "God" party. It would be pointless, if not, "fair". For all practical purposes: Play through the Introduction Section, then "save" where you have to make the "choice", (The party is around level 9.), then play each of the three scenarios. (I'd recommend; Bodyguards, Holy Ones, then Sorcerers, in that order.) As to "rewards", they're really just part of each ending ceremony.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Or maybe it's actually a bug. I mean, the scenario is passworded, so maybe the items actually exist but there was a problem with the nodework. Perhaps someone who knows the password or a way around it can check?

Kyshakk Koan Boots Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Tarl\'s passwords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Oh, okay. Thanks. I think I do see the items in question on the list, but I'm not sure. I'll have to play through the scenario again after I'm done with ASR to see for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
