I forgot that descending from certain places in the Beast of Winter DLC area will cause injury without it. Goddamn! I had to waste 6 Luminous Adra potions. As a result, my no rest run is in real jeopardy, because I only have 2 left. (Early on, I kept forgetting to pop wardstones, so I wasted a ton.)

Lesson: People should mention quick items and other utility gear you need at all times when listing their builds - not just equipment. Otherwise newbs like me waste 100-plus-hours of progress! ;)

Oh, as an auxiliary question: How do people generally handle Sigils? I found that it's not always possible to destroy them on the first turn before they trigger. So I need wardstones. Now, are you supposed to pop them all when you acquire them? I thought about doing that, but I was afraid I'd make a mistake and need to rest eventually. So I've been hoarding them and destroying sigils and popping only when I cannot destroy them on the first turn.

In real time with pause, I like to run away from the sigil before it activates, into a chokepoint where I can abuse area of effect spells. You might have trouble with your slower initiative characters in turnbased mode though! The other thing I like to do is use spells like Delayed Fireball in order to deal massive damage to enemies (and sigils!) before combat begins.

Ah, thanks for reassuring me! I am not sure I can handle Belranga though - we shall see! ;)

I believe in you :)

I did notice that scroll nuking them works reliably - provided I have at least 2 characters using scrolls. Very few things survive two scroll casts of end-game nukes.

Thanks for your belief, but I bet I fail multiple times to begin with! ;)

i pull enemies back away from the sigils they are huddling around, and then later just nuke the sigils outside of combat. it's very rare where i actually have to deal with sigils in combat.

That's what I do as well. The only time when I get hit with sigil curses is when I am careless, and let characters stray too close to sigils in combat.

Same. Taking out the sigils after the fights is so much more convenient: your resources refill nearly instantly and your attacks won't break stealth (your recovery is -85%) which speeds up the process considerably - even if you can only scratch the sigil with your attacks.

Like has been said, nukes are nice to get rid of them. If you cast a nice aoe, you may even kill some enemies in the process.

They have considerable HP, so high level high damage nukes are nice... or lasting effects, like the Freezing Pillar.
