baldurs_gate_2 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Are there any hard, challenging fights? Lvl req? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Darkholme Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 The level requirement of the quest is no indicator for the first fight (which seems unavoidable as far as I can tell). I created a new char and at first the quest had 3 skulls. I then leveled up to at least two levels above what was show in the quest, but almost immediately after entering the new island got attacked by a creature with 3 red skulls and unlimited spells.

Myrtillo Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Playing in PotD with level scaling up and with the Watcher at lvl 16 (rest of the party is 15), I found most of the fights to be very challenging. A lot more than in the vanilla game. I ended up resting after almost every fight because I have to burn all my per-rest abilities and get injuries basically everytime. Especially those frost shades that tend to obliterate my backline, are highly resilient, and spawn a ice blight upon death. This is with a not min-maxed but still decently built and equiped party.

Kian Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Especially those frost shades that tend to obliterate my backline, are highly resilient, and spawn a ice blight upon death. Most. Annoying. Thing. They seem to really ignore the tank and just melee-rush the spellcasters... FUN TIMES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrtillo Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 On the bridge ablaze, I had to tune the difficulty down to veteran after 5 tries and not being remotely close to win the battle against fire soldiers/archers/cleric in the moment after the godhammer. It is doable imo, but requires a specific party setup, probably a lot of raw damage/armor debuff (10 ennemies with armor between 13-15 and fire immunity. Yuk). I don't have that prepared in my current party and don't want to backtrack and break the DLC immersion. This fight on veteran was a cakewalk (armors between 9 and 13 mean I could penetrate it easily). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleese Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Fights are definitely more difficult than the base game. The snow bears have over 20 slash/pierce armour on upscaled PotD. First time I encountered the spirit barbarians I obliterated myself (barbaric retaliation). The end boss actually feels like a boss fight which is a nice change. And as others have mentioned the frost shades are pretty nasty. Taking on the whole room of spirits in the trials was pretty fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
