I thought I can trick Eothas and absorb all of his soul, then use the wheel to absorb all other gods' and kith soul , ascend into supreme evil god

I place 5 traps continuously, no achievement. All my party member place 5 traps simultaneously, no achievement. Do I need enemies to trigger 5 traps?

Actually I don't understand why people want to nerf single player game. If you want challenge, just don't use them isn't it?

Yep, pure healer. The reason I stated pacifist is I want to role play a character who do not fight/attack/damage anyone by any mean. So healing which trigger by attack or healing skill which will damage enemy at the same time are out. And I'm struggling to pick paladin...because paladin is fighter right? With Paladin you have to pick Kind Wayfarer and then be in melee to hit enemies with Flames of Devotion to trigger AOE heal. Paladin is not pacifist at all :D So for pure Pacifist go Priest/Troubadour or Druid/Troubadour. Imo priest is little more roleplay for troubadour comob but that is jut my opinion . If you want tips what to take on Troubadour for healing/support job and how to combo that on Troubadour - let me know Yeah, and I think priest is more pacifist than druid, but druid healing sounds very good :D If only multi-class is real "multi" class instead of double class, I know I am greedy :D Btw, if I want to role play another character( not pacifist ) who can tank/protect allies from harm/self sacrifice to protect, heal or aid allies, what is the best combo? I think Shieldbearer paladin is essential because lay of hand can prevent death.

I don't understand your problem, all my faction reputation is 5 at the end and I can pick all faction final quest.( Beware Maia will leave if you pick VTC or Huana final quest ). well..my issue is with the 'Ending sliders' . So..if you wanna know , they are here : https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Pillars_of_Eternity_II:_Deadfire_endings#Port_Maje_Peaceful There are some stuff in the ending sliders..which made me wonder . Hence the question... Damn it! I still feel very upset that I was unaware of helping assassination! If you want peace, just screw Maia quest.

No, I means the other half of your soul.

Yes! It scales with PL, Might, Practiced Healer perk, etc. in addition to having a very high base regen rate and +1 Armor rating to boot. I combined it with the regen aura from Lethandria's shield on my pally tank. You could probably go all in on regen with Chanter healing aura and other stuff all stacking together. Never tried Chanter before, feels very complicated and troublesome

Is it just no watcher skill upgrade? Or there is impact for story?

What if...primordial race was living in the Beyond? There is no cycle or death at very beginning? :D

I'm not sure I understand why people are using the term "innocent" for the person Maia killed. She killed the leader of an Huana tribes which are all members of the warrior cast. That leader was a warrior, one of the best in his village going by how they are selected too. Rauatai is invading the Deadfire, all warriors are enemies to them, especially the ones trying to unit tribes to opposite outsiders which is what that leader wanted to do. The quest seems to be an allegory for military preemptive strikes programs actually. If they fight and die during open battle then fine, because both side are not "innocent". But assassinate a person who is not hostile yet and didn't commited evil deed( at least not mention ), I consider it as killing innocent.

The "conspired with Woedica" happens to be more "manipulated by Woedica" going by something she says early in Deadfire too. Yup, this is the moment I start to think I misjudged her...But she pour down volcano to me! Btw, Ondra suppose to be playing major role in Deadfire, but there is not much interaction if you don't bring Tekehu along

I want to try healer in second play through but I'm not familiar with healer class. My Xoti is monk Which class or multiclass has best healing skill? Is paladin aura good?

Lamond path involve killing more pirate. I don't see him afterward, even Aderlys come back.

Talking about Magran, I thought she is evil goddess since she conspired with Woedica during POE1 event and always exercise extreme method. I didn't expect she is more benevolent than Ondra.

Why would powder house matter to him? He is Huana faction, not RDC. I always helping Huana( reputation 5) and Watershaper, but seems like queen assassination is enough to cancel all my good deed.

Does Lamond play a role later game if you rescue his crew? Also do you get to find all items both paths? I think both are same, if you spare him you get reputation while kill him will get his leather armor. However Lamond path will lure him into a place where no one notice. Other will not turn hostile if you kill him there. If you want to spare him then kill him you must be quick because he will walk away and disappear while you in camera lock after conversation, that's why I reverse pick-pocket him, wait 10 seconds then talk to him during game pause. He will explode after few steps. I think this is a glitch :D Haha that's brilliant. So did you get the reputation boost and the armour? Yes :D

Corrupted Adra is ‘blocked’ Adra which prevents a soul flowing through it. You can see this at the Poko Kahara waystation where the machinery has made an ‘off switch’ in the base of the pillar by corrupting the adra, so that the ‘soul energy’ from their sacrificial victim pods on the upper floors will become ‘trapped’ in the top of the pillar - effectively making a battery of the healthy top part of the pillar. Eothas explains that he’s sucking souls out of the luminous adra pillars for fuel, as well as out of people he passes by. He himself is made of luminous adra, being an adra statue rammed full of souls. If you convince Eothas to help kith after he’s done breaking the wheel, the ‘light of thousands of souls’ leaves his body. If you don’t tell him to do anything the souls stay trapped within him and the statue continues to glow. Yes, because it is blocked so the soul will trap, if not the soul will flow through adra. Without manipulation, adra is just a conduit with essence, so people are not mining soul . I think you have fundamentally misunderstood the story of the game if you haven’t realised luminous adra is luminous because it has souls in it. In Poko Kahara the souls are trapped *by* the layer of corrupted adra, not *inside* the corrupted layer. They have been deliberately bottled up in the healthy top part of the pillar and prevented from making their way past the corrupted layer into the rest of the adra network and toward The Wheel. Now I'm confused :D Isn't that "layer" you said cover the adra and made it into a corrupted adra which trapping soul? Btw, luminous adra is a gateway, a hub where souls gather and flow. After they flow through part of essence remain, isn't essence the one which make adra glow?

I choose Lamond path because it has high reputation boost, but I reverse pick-pocket a bomb before talk to him

Adra is just a material which can store or manipulate soul, it is not form by soul. If use correctly you can siphon part of soul essence without doing harm, like what you can do to the dragon in Watershaper guild. But yeah, it has high potential to be abuse. However kith will abuse any resource anyway. Adra is that. Luminous Adra is Adra full of souls. No, luminous adra is just a stronger version. The adra which full of soul is corrupted adra.

Some people might not like the idea of ignoring Maia before reaching Ukaizo. And I have experience where Tekehu leave me no matter what after I killed the queen and he just send me a missive.

Well, Pallegina become kind of arsehole. I don't recall she was annoying during POE1, but now if I bring Tekenu, Xoti and her together... Not only those two, she insulting almost everyone...
