In my monk playthrough, the helm that should have made me immune to resolve afflictions, did not work properly and i got terrified and to get 18x will is not so easy (possible with a monk). Question is, to eat the right food and to hope that effigy husk and immune to might afflictions work, because the two mobs there use charge and one pillar uses tayn's orb. The main problem for me is the cleansing pillars. It'd be easy without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowing Beyond just before it opens and you're safe. Maybe Arkemyr Brilliant Departure will work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Darkholme Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Just don't damage Sigilmaster until you destroyed at least the cleansing pillar (preferably all pillars), slicken and draining wall her and as Waski said go invis (then go out of sight and either cast an aoe like freezing pillar or just send summons).

Raven Darkholme Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Oh also sorry for double post, almost forgot, since I haven't played in a while: With Bloodmage you can extend Arkemyr's Departure ith Draining Walls/SoT and you can cast any non damaging spells while Invis, including summons/CC like Slicken.

Decadency Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Btw... Do you really need to sail to Fort Deadlight after killing Benweth to get Scordeo's Edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you kill him, yes, not sure where you get it if you ahve to rescue Aeldys tho, but that's kinda risky I guess.

Decadency Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Well I failed my run at level 17. Made a mistake on a fight with a Watershapers guild dragon. Killed a fire dragon before. Anyway I really like Priest/Bloodmage so I started the same class run. Edited June 17, 2019 by Decadency 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple yet consistent rules for sound generation and enemy positioning allows for some real emergent gameplay. Hanging sepulchers was my first major stealth headache, and it took probably like 20-30 attempts on my practice character before I pieced together the noises made from traps and scrolls to give me a consistent (if extremely challenging to pull off) way to get one of the eulogies. It was real satisfying to get it to click. For the curious, I recorded my practice character for my own reference since it was really hard to write it all down with specific positioning: Yeah I also stealthed this.

With a lvl 13 monk you don't really need to stealth that, but i have to try it first on a non Trial of Iron run, how you can prevent vela from dying there.

Boeroer Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I guess those are the spells that also work with Instruments of Pain, gaining range*6 in the process. They seem to be tagged as "melee attacks" iternally. 2 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunattic Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Just wanted to give a quick show of support here from an observer. Those stealth runs look awesome, and seeing the overall builds/creativity employed to tackle this insane challenge is very entertaining. Good luck to all those actively working on it! If I didn't have a baby to take care of, I'd have joined in myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siverman Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 sry for asking, but is there any written build for the SC monk FF build? If yes, where? :) I scraped together some face written in this thread but I lot of things are missing ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Not in these forums. Sadly I can't add any builds atm because the forum doesn't let me edit my own posts that are older than 8 days or so - thus renderng me helpless when it comes to adding something to the build list. You can write a PM to @SChin maybe - if you think that "feature" should be changed. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 6/13/2019 at 12:32 AM, baldurs_gate_2 said: Sandswept ruins are pretty nice after fort deadlight. It does net you 8k+ experience for disarming the ones you can. If you have the leap boots from FD, you can jump over the last ones and get even more (some traps do not give any xp - mostly they you can not disarm). FYI - I was attempting some non-ashen maw pathing today and sandswept ruins is frankly a deadend. i actually don't understand how people are getting 3 to 8k in experience there unless you've been avoiding all traps throughout the game. I figured out in the process that there's some sort of "max trap disarming" experience and my character is hitting it after only like 1k of experience. coupled with the fact that it's like a 6-day detour (that I have to repeat to do dorudugan) and it's a non-starter for my run.

Raven Darkholme Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Traps got nerfed hard, used to give like 270+300+ xp per trap and now they give like 100ish. 1 My twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/victorcreed_twitch My youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/VictorCreedGaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldurs_gate_2 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I sailed there after fort deadlight and i get 310 - 370 xp each trap. You don't need leap boots, but thief's putty to disarm the ones you want. The first two rows of traps always give you xp, then it stops and the three after the 14ish "locked" traps net you again 310-370 xp, so i don't know why it stops all of a sudden and then you get xp again.
