The Lurker Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Okay, so I entered Valley of Dying Things with a Level 1 party and beat both the Spirit of the Sick and Zorvas, on both Normal and Torment. It was very satisfying. So, just wondering, were they even meant to be beatable without cheating? You get no reward for beating Zorvas and the reward for beating the Spirit is kinda pointless, since you can get the same reward by helping it rather than attacking it. Also, has anyone ever managed to beat Pythras with a Level 1 party? So far she's been thoroughly wiping the floor with me. I think I'll try one more time with the meatshield strategy I used to beat Revenge with a Level 1 party, and if that fails, well, I think I'll just give up.

Lilith Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 The Spirit of the Sick is supposed to be tough but beatable; it'd probably be easier if you did it close to the end of the scenario. The vampires in the underground section are probably the toughest legitimately beatable fight. Pythras really is supposed to be impossible for you to kill.

The Lurker Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks, Thuryl. I was hoping you'd be the one to reply, you're a true encyclopedia . There's only one vampire in the underground section, and I found it to be much, much easier than the Spirit of the Sick (I was indeed near the end of the scenario when I fought the spirit and Zorvas). If the vampire and the spirit are supposed to be the hardest fights, then... Was Zorvas intentionally made beatable? Or did Jeff just put the death message for cheaters, like Pythras? As for Pythras, hmm, yeah. She can't cast spells, but she's insanely powerful in melee and her abilities are very annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm pretty sure I fought a group of three vampires in that battle. Odd. Maybe it's random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lurker Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 You do mean the undead cult near the Major Waste Repository, right? I'll check, but I've never seen more than one vampire there. On the other hand, the battle against Fynder in DWTD has a lot more than one vampire.

Lilith Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Ah, wait, I know what would have happened. Vampires can cast Arcane Summon, which has a chance to summon, well, more vampires. This is fairly bad news if it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lurker Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 ...Which is why I tend to kill this vampire before it can do anything bad. It isn't nearly as simple against Zorvas - chances are he'll manage to cast Arcane Summon at least once during the battle. Good thing the centaurs can be charmed with the vahnatai's Capture Mind spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic Minstrel Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Who on earth is Zorvas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nioca Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 He's a Drake-Lord-to-be at the south end of the Vale. He's hidden behind a secret passage, and asks for a Drake Fang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikiyoba Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Zorvas is the drake who gives you the quest for a black drake fang. Dikiyoba forgets exactly where you find him, but he's outside somewhere in the southern part of the valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic Minstrel Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Oh, I remember him. I just didn't remember his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
