I'm looking for a consistent way of killing the Adra Dragon I tried killing the adra dragon couple of times without 'cheese'-ing, the only thing I did for convenience is to line my characters in a certain way around the dragon and then attack. Cheese includes: 1) paralyze scroll chain (thats how i beat it once but its too cheese!) 2) killing her companions first without aggro-ing her (i believe its not intended that way) I did try to use maelstrom scrolls without paralyze but im just getting whipped (literally!) too fast with all those AOEs and the little reptalians that go for my backline to do ever more pressure... I try to use resurrection scrolls a lot but at some point they just don't bring characters up again The ONLY damaging spells that work are: 1) Priest level 5th pillar of holy flame 2) Wizard level 5th blast of frost 3) Scroll - maelstrom 4) Wizard 5th wall of force but not as strong as blast of frost (i die before duration end..) Problem is they can't always do full damage due to resistances. I can't reduce dragon resistances due to its ... well ... resistances !!! All the resistance-lowering spells from Aloth and Durance that I try miss. And whats the point waiting for iroll100 for the slight chance that they WILL hit ? The most I was able to do spamming those damaging spells is to get her to Injured before I can't resurrectmy party anymore (not sure if bug or intended so resurrect wont be abused?). Not to make this post too long, i'll just add i do drink some defense potion of Eder and everyone ate food ofc +2 might. Summons don't do much except maybe holding xunatrip at bay. Suggestions ? For fun I posted an image of the Adra dragon dying due to cheese (paralyze fest and lucky resistance-reduction spells... look how much I crit!):

[spoiler ]your spoiler here...[/spoiler ] (without whitespace in the tags)

I would've expected that info to be on the game itself not in wiki and all because I don't like looking at those because of spoilers and all but .. I guess i'll have to! :-P Although I just needed the confirmation about dragons. adra dragon IS a beast then! NOW i'll do SOME damage before i'll die

I also noticed a trap that require level 12 mechanics to disable. It does 1112 raw damage or something like that, found it on the last levels of endless path and i GUESS its the same kind of bug

I'm thinking about enchanting my weapons with +% damage vs. certain creatures, but i'm not sure whats what except the obvious ones. How can I know if its not written in the bestiary? I guess all dragons are of type beast though ?

You guys right, im sorry, I guess I missed that because I didn't notice any message from him telling me that he gave me something ^_^ Nevermind ! Obsidian still rocks !

Wizard can summon a clone that shoots pretty strong missiles, i think its maybe one of the best skills in the game since it also do splash damage :D I think its level 5 spell

Having resolve 20 with the spirit of Od Nua can result peacful solution with no fight. I got nothing from it. I reload and killed him to see what i'll get and behold - cloak of +3 resolve!! I thought the point in PoE is you can choose any path you want and still get same reward, which is a bit dissapointing, hoping maybe it was overlooked and maybe in future patches peaceful solution could result in Od Nua giving/leaving his cloak behind

You can't really change a few lines and expect an update of equal size in a compiled game. If you are dealing with raw source you have a better chance of it though. == On a different note, the fog was so thick it was blocking doors? Crazy stuff. Actually you CAN expect that, GoG patch 1.03 is only 80mb and i think the difference from steam is that steam gives you the whole data while GoG only gives you the difference and patch the game accordingly.

Trying to open 2nd client (GoG version) of the game will popup a message No pun, no nothing! :-P

Damaging displayed as x1.15 while fire enchantment displayed as 25% or something like that. Makes me think that when its displayed as x1.15 it enhance the original damage, while +25% means it don't enhance the damage itself but add another type of damage to the calculation. Maybe its just semantics and maybe not, im not 100% (or 1.00 !!!) sure

If you thought that high level wizards are overpowered in BG2, think again. Level 9 aloth can cast all the level 1 spells he wants in a fight and they replenish without rest for the next fight ! God mode activated - spam chill fog all around the map while not fighting, making that spell recharge yet leaving the AOE on ground. Start a fight and keep spamming, blinding, chilling, doing bazillion amount of damage to an area. Whoever said wizards are weak should repent ! the final judgment hasth cometh !

Check your chest (enter the keep and press TAB to see exactly where it is, if im not wrong, on the east side of the talking-statue-lady).

Play a dumb character, 20 might, 20 desterity, 20 con, 5 int, or something like that. Role play your way to take off the burden of understanding everything about the lore, and u'll get it eventually. Things do get clearer the more advance in the game, its sort of like Planescape:Torment, it takes like until 80% of the game till u reach the real understading of whats happening Also, 20 hours is nothing. I spend years in character creation on baldurs gate. damn those low rolling dices!! i want 92 and up!!!

thanks for the suggestion, done (i also think there should be general discussion forum WITH spoilers, this is the only general discussion we've got so far so i thought its the most appropriate forum to post)

I know I would have want to know where they are sooner so in benefit of everyone who wonder you can read ahead, but if you don't want to know then don't! I found them in

Give him a wooden sword! Just kidding, I have no idea either and trying to find a way to save him but it might not be possible from the story so far (im in level 3 at least so far I didn't find a cure or any of the sort). Also - nice avatar gwynbleidd !! :D

Remove XP from bestiary. Here, I said it EDIT: act II here, level 9, full party

I think this engine focus on combat. the opposite of PS:T ... how does it manage party ? spells ? leveling ? items ? quests ? etc ..

So think about this - in PoE you can transfer your souls and all that kind of things ... why not being able to, in some point, transfer your soul to someone that will make u keep your previous knowledge, but will be able to advance your knowledge in other areas, other known as multi-class! In another words - you lived your life fully as level 4 thief, then you transfer your soul to a level 1 mage! This could work I think, lore-wise at least :D

GoG are not that slow on patching, give them couple of days. Besides as pointed out before, no one will die from delayed patch and maybe its better attitude not to anxiously wait for it anyway

I agree about everything. They made PoE mechanics better, improving areas that previous IE were either exploitable or not fun/prodcutive. I hope Obsidian sees the GOOD comments as well as the bad, because i think they made really good job and shouldn't be discouraged by the occasional ragetroll threads

What about other games ? do they work fine for you ? Also by any chance, is your GPU Gigabyte manufactured ?

I actually really liked Aloth story. Didn't finish it yet but i REALLY hope it don't stop after the testing done to him in the Sacntarium or whatever the name of the building is :D It really reminded me of PS:T and thats the biggest compliment I can give. I love you Obsidian \o/

You can also pretty easily boost your attributes by 2 points using items, so if u want to meta-game u can always have that as well SPOILER: also found +3 cloak (the wailing banshee quest)
