Neverwinter Nights Revolutions

I suppose that since I've got to assassin as a ranger, and not a rogue, then never getting a sneak attack might have a large part to play in that, so maybe I ought to go invisible to see if it works. But with only 2 levels as assassin, I ain't going to kill anything that's half-decent.
I'll try the fight again when I next play, but if it doesn't work then I'll just chicken out and go into the hole without bothering with the fight.

Pop an invis potion and see. I don't recall that fight being that mean though. Did you try focusing on her first?

[Dis]

yeah, if you think that's tough, wait till the one on the other side of those doors.

but like I said, you can get allies.

for the other fight, if you can't get them by taking down the formian leader first, then just run and try to draw a couple out. That tactic works so often in games. Seperate the group into smaller groups and take them out that way.

[DaShi]

I remember that my sorc had trouble with it. But I didn't even notice it with my monk.

[duke o' york]

I only had one go at the fight, and hadn't done any kind of preparation beforehand. As I said, I helped them kill the slaads, which is not a main part of my tactics when I revisit the ruck.
Stop laughing at my useless character you buggers!
I killed Kel-garas the first time round without being hit once myself (although admittedly the speed potion I necked helped a lot ).

[Dis]

Kel Garas wasn't too bad. How did you fare against the blackguard and the skeleton warriors?

if you can do that fight, you should have no trouble with the rest of the game. There are a couple tricky areas in chapt2 iirc. You just have to figure out how to get past the traps and such.

My girlfriend and I got through to the last battle with

Spoiler:

Mephistopheles

yesterday. He tried to turn my companions. Don't worry I said confidently, Valen is in love with you, and Nathyrra has said how close a friend she considers you. We also have quite high persuade (maximum cross class), so we'll be fine.

Then that silly cow Nathyrra betrays us! I didn't take their

Spoiler:

true names

so I had to mash her first. It wasn't difficult, but I felt it was a somewhat silly ending given our long battle against evil together and close friendship.

[Jamski]

Hahaha, you trusted a Drow.

I allied with the queen of the ants, and am ready for the scrap upstairs. I didn't fight them properly, but I assume that the fight with the grey slaad and his red friends isn't the really tough one behind those doors. Should I be keeping my crystal for the big fight later? (If there is one) I smashed it to see what happened and got a single ant myrmidon or whatever they're called.

And by the way Jam and Spike. We all know one another's

Spoiler:

See Spike's spoiler

, so I don't expect betrayal, but then Galactic Overlord is a totally different kettle of ducks and the normal rules do not apply.

[Dis]

yes the grey slaad is the tough one. It's behind those doors (there should be a cut-scene). I'm not sure if the crystal will work anyplace else. I suppose it would though (I doubt it has any special scripts on it).

Alliance discussion NOW. PM me.

[DrSpike]

The first fight can be tough if you have poor will saves. The second will be even trickier, especially with your char ( ), so I'd use the ant warrior then. Try and get the bad guys to hit her.

[Kassiopeia]

Heh. Our three person party finished up SOU today.

Spoiler:

The three Winds were pretty hard, especially Wise Wind which kept killing us all the time. However, when we got to the actual final battle of the module, the Heurodion or whomever was felled by us in a few minutes! It was one of the easiest final battles I've ever fought. Our characters were at about level 11, a cleric, a barbarian and a sorcerer... did we overdo it?

[Dis]

I'm not sure how balanced SOU for multiplayer. The final battle you normally do alone (without a henchman even)

[Kassiopeia]

That might explain it. We waltzed in,

Spoiler:

destroyed the mythallar devices, and after a few empowered Searing Lights and Missile Storms from the spellcasters it was already over.

[DrSpike]

You usually get a henchman for that fight. It isn't solo unless you make it that way.

I would think though that the whole of SoU would be quite easy with 3.
