POE2 second completion help needed

[Melusina]

I finished POE2 first time with Celebrant.

I had such a fun, but it was challenging, despite playing on easy mode. I also rushed the end.

 

That was before Beast of Winter.

 

I wish to complete the game second time. I paid this game too much for one playthrough. Ever since then, I was trying to complete it second time, with no dice.

 

I'm currently playing a priest cipher and trying to get into Fort Deadlight and recruit Mirke. I have no flag, so I trying to find a way to find it or to complete Delver's row quests.

I think the easiest way to get a Principi flag is to take out a Principi ship

Tried that. Ship didn't dropped the flag after my victory.

Then you were unlucky. Normally they do drop their flags.

Priest cipher....unless your goal is to get special dialogue options, it's a very weak combination. And you can, actually, steal a flag from Mad Morena's chest - you can get to her with or without a bloodbath, it's up to you.

Erm. Priest/Cipher is pretty decent.

 

Charm/Dominate, Mind Blades, Ancestor's Memory, Disintegrate, Beams, Mental binding from Cipher, plus Salvation of Time, BDD, Devotions, Heals, Resurrections from Priest.

 

Probably a beast of a character for managing afflictions/inspirations as well.
