Rotghroth Rhapsody txmimi Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Any tips to defeat the Master of the Pit in A5? I have died repeatedly, since he casts the death curse within the first 3 round of battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 To deal with the death curse: Watch for which altar changes and retreat to it to get cured. The altars change starting with the southwest one and going clockwise. Pay attention to messages during this fight even if you have to use the scroll bar to the right of the messages to go back. Jeff really got mad during beta testing when the response for this fight was summon a horde of monsters/shades and retreat to let them deal with the Master. That's why you only get two summoned monsters for the whole party. Summon a monster to engage in melee and have the party retreat to attack at range. I think as long as you are more than 8 tiles from the Master you don't get the death curse. It's easier to replace summoned monsters when they die from the deathcurse.

Rotghroth Rhapsody txmimi Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 No luck so far. . . can't seem to get far enough away. . . they chase me down every time, then I can't get to the altar in time. Worst battle yet. . . :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I beat him/it from range, gave party all possible buffs and after battle started casted summon monster and then started retreating to north while pummeled MoP from distance, all time in combat mode.

Rotghroth Rhapsody txmimi Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Is summon monster the same as summon shade? Neither my priest or mage has a spell called summon monster, but it sounds like I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Summon shade is the priest spell. Mages have minor summon, summon aid, and arcane summon which you don't have yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk S M Adventurer Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If all else fails, you can survive the death curse by using an Invulnerablity Potion. That is, if you have enough Endurance to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody txmimi Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well, my mage has managed to survive, but I need to revive the others. Is there a way to get out and get back to a town? I hate to think of trying to fight that battle again. . . Found my way out. . . whew. . . thanks for the tips. Apparently, though the worst battle in that pit is yet to come. Sigh. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Last battle in that place is easier than MoP since enemy doesn't cast death curse (just randomly charms 1 member of party, tip: switch all chars to bows to minimize damage dealt).
