Cleared the room of death!

#1 Post by necronomist »

...and all I got was a lousy achievement! :D

First time to do that, using my overpowered Anorithil. Really tense fight, only possible to survive using hit and run tactics with damage over-time spells. The overpowered drakes also have a tendency to hit each other with their breath weapons, which also helped.

Also, I think I see why some people here think that confusion is a bit over-the-top. One of the tactics I used was to stand near a doorway and wait for a dragon to come through then hit him with a Mind blast and proceed to unload everything - that tactic would probably take him down to one-third health, easy pickings for the next run.

Hugely instrumental was my teleportation runes and the Wintertide Vial, for curing Silence. Great fight overall, in the best tactical game I have played since a long time! Once again, well done to Darkgod and all the other developers for creating such a gem of a game!

Did you clear it on your first run? I was about lvl 38 when I did the level the first time, but returned on lvl 50 to finish them. And I think I got limir's book thing there (or another very strong artifact, can't recall), so it was worth it to return.

Yes, did it in the first go. Entered at lvl 39, finished at lvl 44 - every dragon gives you a level. I found nothing of value to me in the room of death; all I got was the achievement (and happy feelings managing to pull it off).

I didn't intent to fight them at first; I just through an AoE and started running for the exit-before I reached it I though: lets see how tough they really are and stayed to fight one of them. This wasn't so tough, ie I was still alive after two breaths, so I though that this might be doable. Note however that I'm playing in Adventurer difficulty, and I had about 5 lives left-that tends to make you cocky. Still, not a single life lost to the overpowered beasts. Fun times!

A unique vault ; you'll know when you've found it. Hint: when you find it, RUN! :P

For me so far the room of death has always been the room of anticlimax... I've never had anything actually spawn in there (except for an ant and a couple orc mages) D:
