I'm having trouble with Orc Horde and I really just want to figure out the mechanics of this fight.
Zerker protag - 28 Kurgan - 27 Valgar - 24 Anomen - 7/28 Imon - 23 Aerie - 18/16 SPOILER! I've tried outlasting them but it seems endless. I then tried to just kill them all at once via imp alacrity/timestop via wish and mass aoe dmg spells after removing mage protections via remove/dispell magic but they still spawn in. My question is will this fight be over after x amount of time and its just a matter of survival, or is there something else?

SPOILER!
The cheesy method of hastily moving characters to Orcus before the cutscene kicks in, and killing Orcus without fighting his minions (the grandlords) is already blocked in IA v6. Now, in v6, it doesn't even matter if you move to Orcus before the grandlords appear, because he can't be killed before them. As long as you are playing v5, try to win the battle in the intended way and wait for the grandlords and kill them before Orcus. In v6, it's all fixed and the cheesy method won't work anyway.

 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. |

SPOILER! Doh. False assumption. I mean AFTER the cutscene. Massive attack on Orcus AFTER, not before the cutscene. No cheese at all, especially considering the fact that I sacrificed all (6 or 7, don't remember) my barbarian potions using this tactic, not to mention mass consumption of potions of resurgence. Watch carefully for your mages protections, watch for your cleric protections very carefully (keep the grandlors away from him), kill Orcus first and then all his minions. It depends on my decision, as a player, who I will attack first, right? Or maybe it's a modder decision who I should attack first? ;] |
