Belsirk Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I may be wrong. But I was with the impression that Concelhaut was the first successful lich in Eora. In part that is why his disciples were able to do things that even Cabiros (the fampyr at Endless Path lvl 8 that had all the Engwithan skills used by Caed Nua and an eternity to improved them) was unable to do (like improving the guls). And this also why other arch-mages were so worried about him. So, who freaking is that random Lich that you can find at PoE2 on the flooded cave? A random hidden mini-boss battle was good, but it feels like breaking the lore of the setting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Maybe Concelhaut stumbled across those ancient dude's small lichdom and was plagiarizing? Maybe it's an Engwithan Lich - because the phylactery Concelhaut uses is explicitily called an "Engwithan phylactery". So even if some animancers of Engwith couldn't do this doesn't mean that some ancient Engwithan Archmage couldn't. I guess. Like Helig of Thein Concelhaut combines Necromancy with Animancy. Maybe this isn't all new stuff. Also the Engwithan Saints emanate a lot of lichy vibes.

house2fly Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 From the monster description, there's enough liches to be plural. Apparently also void seers are the remains of liches, and Concelhaut had a few of those floating around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to derail this a little bit, but was anyone else slightly disappointed by the fact that Helig of Thein is supposed to be a very old undead wizard but then you can actually kill him at a low level, and it isn't even difficult? The same goes for the "archmages" at Raedric's throne room -- killable at level 4. Some archmages they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Why is he supposed to be very old? He recently got killed by Moedred of the Sanitarium where they were both doing research and only since then was "undead". Also: being great at necromancy and animancy doesn't necessarily lead to being great at fighting random murder hobos. But ok: with such an impressive curriculum vitae a group of murder hobos might rightfully expect a bigger challenge. Especially because it was said that Helig single-handedly fought against the Northwatch Rangers and wiped them all except Dalton. Man, those rangers must have had dayflies as animal companions...

thelee Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 also let's remember that poe1 was a per-rest system, not a per-encounter system. Helig just hasn't figured out how to have a good night's rest yet, so all his good stuff wasn't available yet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
house2fly Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I was vaguely disappointed when I found out Helig was part of a quest. When I first played I went straight to the sewers as soon as I got to the city and stumbled on him, and his dialogue was basically "Yeah, I'm an evil necromancer. Go away." I enjoyed that he seemed to be just hanging out there doing his thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I was still disappointed by how easy he was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Cabrio could consider to be on the climax and didn't care any more about improving the stuff.

If I remember well from the dialogues. The previous incarnation of Llengrath knew Concelhaut when he was still a normal mortal (or, his words could have been intentionally not clear enough to hide Concelhaut's age). Another possibility is that Wael's cult erased the second lich from history. But then, how is that he is still able to roam Deadfire so freely ? But, again, if he predates the gods it could explain it. (Still, then it was a good lich who only care about living without interfering with exterior world until some hobbos entered his cave and slaughter him) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldRimmer Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) I'm not sure how true this is, but I read somewhere on the internet* a while ago that the lich you meet in the cave was actually originally concelhaut, but then Obsidian made a change (maybe due to a stretch goal) and added him to the lighthouse storyline. So the lich in the cave was just a drop in replacement form CH. * I have no idea now where that was, so don't ask for a link please!

asnjas Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Ekera, They forgot their own lore ekera. Ekera, Haelig was just some guy that kept himself alive. Really good doctors die all the time, what say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Maybe. But Helig was dead. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
