ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Am I the only one that dies here every time - around level 13! I meet an elven corruptor EVERY SINGLE TIME that kills me. Seriously, check my last 4 or 5 games, they all died to this elven corruptor. It's when it generates outdoors that it's the worst. Is this intentional or a bug or what?

Are you opening vaults? You only get those guys in Rhaloren Camp from opening vaults, which most players avoid.

Vaults tend to generate enemies several levels higher then you, and in the case of the Rhaloran Camp you may be facing off against Caster Enemies that you would find in the Mark of the Spellblaze dungeon or the Dark Crypt - several levels before you should dare face them. If you are going into the Rhaloran Camp Vaults then you take your characters life into your own hands.

Elven corruptor on level 12-13 is definitely not a fun experience. Character lived to die in the dark crypt.

I have already met an elven corruptor not in a vault in the Rhaloren camp. But what is strange is that you meet this corruptor any time you visit the camp. I just met such a mob once (in many many many visits)...

Sometimes he's in a vault, but I've learned to avoid them. Still he found me the last two times.

I've found the Rhaloren Camps easy to clear, at least with the Berserker class. Usually go in around level 12 - 15.

I also tend to clear all vaults.

Well, of course it's easy if you're level 12-15. It's a tier 1 zone. You're crazy overleveled at that point.

Yet if you do all the tier 1 dungeons you tend to be crazy overleveled for some.

I find that having a teleport rune is amazing for when you need to get out and fast. Managed to take one of those guys around level 23 down with my level 10 or so Crystal (nullnewgems) Alchemist. It costs me tons of gems to ressurect my golem each time he got herrendously slaughtered but I managed to finally kill it on the third or fourth run at him.

The point is that I'm level 12-13 and I still die.

Yep, that is vaults for you.
