ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

How does one kill the Glass golem boss in the "The Illusory Castle"?
Despite being in the throne room, he just teleports back to heal. I guess I should somehow use these glass walls to stop his teleport, but it doesn't matter where he stands, he always just ports back.

thanks. I always thought, that there would be one of them each run. In my past runs (some various years ago) I always got one.

I already unlocked it for the normal campaign but non spawned in my current run. In the past one always got exactly one tinker escort. Did this change or is it just a bug, that I didn't get any this run?

Does another tinker-escort spawn (if you still have escorts left), if you fail to protect it or do you have just one attempt?

I have a winning run on insane in 1.4.9 Corona is imo the class defining talent and I was building around it. StarFury is the main damage category and I went 5/5/1/5 with twilight on autocast when no enemies are in sight. Eclipse is 5/5/5/0. I tried to make good use of shadow simulacrum, but never r...

thank you

Two questions:

1) If you unlock a talent tree in the EoR campaign via the Yeti-tissue thing, is the talent tree already unlocked or would I need to spend another category point on it?

2) In both campaigns: Is the drop chance of items in any way dependent on the class, that you play?

I did rest the steam-cloud and reinstalled it one more time and now it seems to work again. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I use steam-cloud.
What makes it even stranger is that I see the "correct" progression in the picture next to the loading-file, yet it still load an "old version" of this character.

When I leave the game (to windows) and restart, the game somehow hasn't saved the last game properly. So a lot of progress is lost, because I just see a fairly old save file. I paid attention during the game and it said various times, that the game is saving (auto-save feature is active). An example...

why did you guys skill magic with your sawbutchers?

great guide!

thanks for all the responses. I probably still need to learn a lot, because aegis alone doesn't really cut it for me to keep me alive.

I have just read that very knowledgeable players think that Arcane Blade is a very strong champ. Can someone explain the logic behind it? How do you survive with it on insane? Doesn't it lack defensive abilities and mobility and is just a glass-cannon? What am I missing? I am not expecting any long ...

high peak is pretty intense and some bosses are just insanely strong; especially if they counter your champ/equip. Avoiding some of them can be advisable. I am a pretty stubborn when it comes to leaving bosses behind and kill myself frequently by trying to kill everything (e.g. I struggle to ignore ...
