Hello again,
Is it just me or the ghost in this game totally wreck ass?
More to the point, I have a 6 member party with mostly scripted NPCs as teammates (Durance, Edér, Aloth and Kana) aside from a monk and my cipher; I'm playing this playthrough on hard and I can mostly cruise through every fight without having to rethink my tactics. However, shades and spectres make my life a living nightmare (get it?) I've tried magical damage (both fire and shock), all kinds of weapon types, buffing my characters with foods and spells, focusing just one shade and moving on to the next... but it's just impossible for my party to bring down the first lighthose encounter without having to pull some shenanigans.
I'll post a few pictures of my party later on, please keep "you suck/your party is weak" responses to a minimum, I'd just like some advice on how to deal with these monsters without a complete do-over. IcosahedronXIII
