Ah, thank you. I hadn't really worried about any fixes since everything has run so smoothly.

Hey Sikret haven't you got time for playing anymore?

Walkthrough is updated.

I am very sad, Sikret, because you didn't write any details about Orcus and Twisted Rune. I would be very interested at Twisted Rune, especially Vaxall ablities and startegy. I thought I will write my tactic, since it was different than yours, but I reconsidered since you didn't write so maybe not too wise idea to write down the killing. Anyway Twisted Rune took a lot of reload at me, but a dead character meant reload in my game. I just summarize the reasons my reloads:

- 2-3 reload because my PC died during or after Time Stop. I don't know why anyway, he had more than 100 % elec and fire res. and 75 % magic dam res. without spells. He was immune to Abi Dalzim, was Hardiness up, and ha had a lot of HP.
- 3-4 reloads when 9 RRR didn't dispel SI. Abj. from the lich. Known bug.
- 1-2 reloads becuase I had to figure out how to chess out that silence from lich.
- 1 reload when I chess out which characteers do I need prot. from level drain form items.
- 3-4 reloads when that antimagic ray dispelled my buffs, my cleric was silenced or he was in antimagic ray, and some triggered/contingencied spells killed my unprotected character.
- I think 2 reloads was because I was not able to Breach Layene, so I had to endure all of her spells and had to wait she is out of PfMW. This mass Breach with Wish is brilliant idea, sadly I didn't use it.

It seems I am not so good, since these are a lot of reloads... Anyway I don't know so much the game as Sikret, and I am not so patient to play "chess game". When there are a lot of combat text in text window, sometimes I miss infomations.

If you have any particular question about my battle with Twisted Rune (or Orcus), feel free to send me a PM. As I have said before, I'm not writing too many spoilerish details in my reports, but you can always ask in a PM.

Yeah make the librarian lich, but make it come out of that tome you have to flip the pages for. I kept expecting a boss at the end, and it was just trash all the way. I was disappointed after putting up with tons of extra waves of zero xp-spawns to flip through the pages one by one.

Keep adding. I really enjoyed all the other extra battles added, Dracolich, Kruin and Umar witch being my favorites. I just read this thread after already playing through, and I noticed a fight I never encountered. Lady Vanya never showed up at Radiant Heart for me.

Here's how it went down. I went to the bridge district as my first screen when I returned to athkatla, and Kruin happened to be there as well as Higgold's messenger boy and also the paladin asking you to go see Vanya. So right as I loaded I was immediately gamgbamged with npcs coming at me from three directions asking me to do shit, cowled wizard tp in and tell me to stop casting spells, meanwhile elemental golems and gith spawning in my sorc's face. That paladin started fighting Kruin and got himself one-shotted, but I thought I was good, having already talked to him and agreed to go see Vanya. Apparently not.

At the time I didnt even know Vanya led to another 'Chess match' or else I would have been more careful with my game saving. I saved over my main file because Kruin fight took so long, although I beat it on my first try by doing ring around the rosie with the golems, around a building with a boots of speed while I picked dudes off one by one.

Anybody know what happened? I'm gonna do another playthrough soon, and I dont wanna miss it again.

Perhaps your reputation had dropped below 20 after you spoke to the messenger and before you went to check the Order of the Radiant Heart.

I'm just curious what your strategy is for Rakshasa Prince, and I noticed you didn't address it at all in this thread.

My method seems kind of cheesy, but it gets the job done. I let my vagrant tank a huge pileup, enough to slow my computer down to 2 frames per second, with DW flail + Judgment Day + Hardiness. I start out standing between the 2 ultra golems so at most 4-5 enemies are hitting me at once. I also have all 8 barbarian essences at my disposal. Ultra golems aren't too hard to hit and don't use pfmw, allowing me to proc pfmw on Judgment Day hits. The rest of my group sits 3 screens away. Peel a chunk away whenever pfmw wears off, kill, rinse repeat. Many greater restorations, many wishes. I just dont see any "kill order" that will prevent the screen from filling up with a hundred enemies. I don't see any other way to do it.

It's very doable, but any winning strategy just seems so cheesy to me. PfMW tank does pretty much the same thing, since you should still have at least 50 pfmw scrolls sitting around in case you fail to wish-rested. Throw in a greater elemental and see what happens lol. Dead magic FTW. I am a masochist.
