Hey all,

I recently DLed the IA mod looking for a real challenge, and it's good fun, but I've started doing Watcher's Keep, and had this Fanatic Spirit pop up and steal the Bell needed to complete the ritual. So, I figure fine, I'll just kill it and retrieve the Bell. The problem is, I CAN'T. I'm not sure whether it's a tactical error on my part, or a bug, but I've got characters all in Epic Level, with Level 9 Mage spells and Maxed out Cleric spells throwing everything they've got at this thing - magical weapons, spells. I can't even scratch it.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Regards,

Aslyn

Just for testing purposes, I made custom party of 6 high level sorcerers with no warriors and no +4 weapons (neither vanilla weapons nor mod's own items) and tested the battle with one of the Fanatic Spirits. I defeated him very easily. So, even forging or finding +4 weapons is not necessary to win this battle. It's all about tactical skills and knowing which tactics to use under each given situation.

EDIT:

@Raven

Are you sure that Fnatic Spirits are immune to +3 weapons? I defeated them without any weapons at all during my test with the party of sorcerers, but as far as I can see in their files, they are vulnerable to +3 weapons.

EDIT 2:

CTRL-Q will allow you to see a monster's invulnerabilities, thaco, ac, etc. Very useful if you are stuck. You will need to reload your game afterwards, of course.


This is plain cheat! Don't do such things.

A tactical expert should be able to figure out enemies' abilities while playing the game normally and while engaged in battle with the enemy. Winning a battle after using such cheats has no value.

Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating.
