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: @Ymarsakar 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. This post has been edited by Sikret: May 27 2008, 01:35 PM -------------------- Improved Anvil
