Portals not working for final Battle

[CPCLapin]

Hello,

Well, I just won for the first time with an OP Oozemancer (http://te4.org/characters/29916/tome/a5 ... 01535a8f7b). But something must have gone wrong during the final boss battle, because no creatures at all spawned from the 4 portals. It's as if the portals were already switched off...

Is it because I silenced both mages at round 1, so they couldn't start the monster spawning ? I'm a bit puzzled. Ofc the battle was very easy, I did not even need to heal once.

Did it happen to you too ?

The Portals spawn stuff? I've beaten the game twice now, as an oozemancer and an AM Wyrmic, and the only reason I even noticed the portals was because of the achievement for not closing them.

I don't think the portals spawn things right off. There's a bit of a delay.

Which is good, as it makes the times you need to close the portals and the times you don't class specific; Heavy damage cannons usually don't need to bother.

I would imagine getting heavy AM characters there helps a lot; Both Spell Feedback and Silence slow down your need to constantly heal there, which means a faster kill.

Ok, so it wasn't a bug. Since the challenge was too low I went and killed Atamathon, it was much tougher...
Thanks !

No problem.

Now do it with a weaker class.

Or don't, but try Nightmare instead.

How do i destroy the portals?
I tried to "walk into them" but nothing happened (if I recall correct...).

Walk into them, use appropriate orbs.


Also - I remember when the portals spawned A LOT of stuff relatively quickly. On my last winner, I was surprised that stuff spawned slowly and with a significant delay...so yes, they are meant to work slowly(though perhaps they are A BIT too slow?)

On some of my recent winners, i noticed the portals spawning large hordes, while on other, very few monsters.

But considering how weaker than other some classes/species combo are, be very lucky when using such weaker character that the portals do not always spawn quickly hordes, because you'll have an extremely hard time already with the overpowered and high resistance all + insane health 2 bosses.

And closing those portals can take time, and when playing with a weak class/race character, giving the 2 bosses free hits on you while you're closing them can be fatal.

You are indeed right. So perhaps the portals could be kept weak...
ALTHOUGH it *could* be interesting if they were linked to the bosses lifeforce, such that they started spawning faster/stronger foes as the enemy life % went down. But again - I agree we don't want to make the final fight too bad, because some classes have a hard time with it already.
