Tough monster encounters

#1 Post by Tom »

Greetings.

Lvl 21 hobbit rogue in Dreadfall.

Open up one of those doors that prompts.

Lvl 37-40 monsters.
I manage to take them out, one by one, very slowly.
Until I hit a Naga of some kind at lvl 39.
Yellow description text.
But after a while I got the grip on her movements and she bite the dust.
My first Naga component.
Pls Mr Alchemist, do not take someone elses ingredients until Im back up in Derth again.

Then another monster in yellow.
Radient horror. Also lvl 39.
This bugger took VERY long time to get rid of.
Casting firespells frying my ass off.
Casting shields of various kinds and some p-something spell whatever that was, but it healed him/her back up to max hp like mad.

Finally, with Dirty Fighting(1), Momentum(1), Dual Strike(1),Luck of the little folk I took it down.
My hp was 52 when I got the kill.
I took a few stepps and looked at my hp and it kept dropping.
No violet text suggesting why it dropped. Maybe I missed some text in the message box, I was a bit shaken.
But 2 or 3 more moves and I would have been toast.
No healing. Pressed Wild and prayed, and luck was here as the Wild infusion took care of whatever it was.

Now down to Master.

Vaults can be nasty, thus the prompt :)
But well done on living through it!

Well, after clearing the vault, I climbed down the stairs one lvl, and belive it or not...
Another vault!!

I struggle like hell, and Im still alive when a 'G' steps out of a door.
A 'ruin banshee' at lvl 49!!!

Something tells me I should RUUUNNNN!

After following the alarm bells that rang, I did not clinch with that banshee.
I ran off with my tail between my legs.

Climbed down to floor 8, to find another vault!!
This time it covers almost half the screen.

Valuts galore or is this a b26 feature to compensate for nonrecovering NPCs? :)

Dreadfell is just like that sometimes...

I think a ruin banshee in Dreadfell is kinda wrong though. The description implies they should be in the Fearscape only.
