Blood of Life not working, or...?

#1 Post by zagowan »

I've found it on three different characters and when they died I just got the same screen as when any other character dies. Am I missing something, or not clicking/selecting an option I should be, or what?

There should be an option to "resurrect using blood of life," on the death screen. Did you use it or was it still in your inventory when you died? It won't work without drinking it, and doesn't work on undead.

and it's not like a life on adventure mode, as you can't rest on the Eidolon(sp?) plane.

In Adventure Mode you won't actually die until the Eidolon stops saving you from the brink of death. In Roguelike Mode or after you die on your last life in Adventure Mode, it should be an option in the 'Death Screen'.

Outside of that, you have to drink the Blood of Life as phalaris stated.

Some testing I've done shows that the Blood of Life (and Skeleton's level 5 rebuild talent) works a bit different now. If you die, you instantly resurrect, with no death message and no adventure lives lost.

I only play on Roguelike, so I don't know anything about Adventure Mode.

If that option was in the death method I may not have seen it, although I'm fairly certain I looked it over.

(Honestly, it doesn't even seem like it should be an option. In order to avoid people accidentally killing their characters it should probably just instantly resurrect you...)

I hope so. That's the way I always though it should work, not after all lives are lost.

Some automation is okay, but I wonder about automating even important events.

I personally think that the player should get an 'in your face' notification or an option to have one occur if a 'life saving device' goes off. One of the things about dying and having the Blood of Life or whatever pop up was that you had an option to continue from that point.

Are you drinking the Blood of Life?
