Yeah the pawns give you a lot of information.

Any tips for a Chimera? It just jumps across the screen and massacres me. I'm level 23, hard mode.

what class are you again?

if you're running mage, then you really just have to go out of your way that you have 1 (maybe 2) pawns that are warriors AND make sure they have that shield skill that draws enemy attention. Then make sure that they're actually using it often. If not, throw them away immediately. Mages that can't get out of dodge are worthless.

Any other class can handle them okay, they just have to get the patterns down. The charge is... well, chimeras never sneak up on you lol. Dodge, perfect block, throw something in its face lol.

Otherwise, fire on the lion head. It'll usually make dude stop drop and roll if you hit it with a fire spell hard enough. Outside of that, bits and pieces. Start with the tail typically because the poison is a bytch. Goat head casts spell. Usually not a big deal, but can sometimes surprise you. If you climb on, that's where you want to be too.

Still not sure why you fukking around with hard more though. just makes stuff weird, more than challenging that early in the game. early game isn't balanced for hard mode at all.

Not Japan
Everfall is still nonsense to me. Some rooms are just whatever - then you waltz into one like its gonna be the same laid back affair only to get hit with some ridiculous licht, hyrdra, metal golem combo :why: there didn't seem to be any method to it either.

Still such a breeze compared to those extended Bitter Black Isle runs :mjcry:

first room, main pawn dead :mjcry:

second room, all out of healing items :mjcry:

third room, lantern got wet :mjcry:

4th room, undead dragon :francis:


i used to use the god's bane to reset the room and randomize the loot until i got what i wanted. :mjcry:

you should listen to them. they are the alternative to item/quest instructions in other rpgs.

The solution to most of you complaints resides with them. You don't know the level of the enemies, they will tell you get the fukk out of dodge if the enemy is too strong. Also the music is an indicator of the level of enemies in relation to you.

I'm willing to entertain the notion that maybe I'm just dumb but I've rarely heard them say anything worth listening to. Literally a handful of times. Sometimes they say shyt completely out of context, like I took falling damage because I wasn't paying attention and one said "we cannot over come them!"

There was no enemies anywhere. I was in town. :what:

Granted, I'm only using Pawns my level so maybe that's the problem. I dunno. I'm currently level 32. I still like the game and the Pawns in general are a :leon: idea so it's not a deal breaker.

Side note, what weapons do you guys got? I'm playing Strider/Magick Archer and I'm using one of the magic bows from The Black Cat. I got 2 stars on it so far. I haven't seen much gear and have only found 2-3 vendors.

Around the end of the game is where the good shyt starts coming in when you enter the everfall. And that's just in the vanilla game. All of the BBI gear will obliterate the stuff that comes from the vanilla game.

I love BBI but some rooms are complete bullshyt. Like that room with two condemned gorecyclops, 3 sorcerers, and harpies:francis: or that town you go through before you beat Daimon a second time that can sometime have three living armors and 2 or 3 wyverns:francis:

Anybody playing this at 1440p? If so, how do you remove the damn golden border? I have it at full screen, but that golden border around the screen is pissing me off.

Plus no sli support :comeon:

The Forgotten Hall:wow: When me and my team got caught in the instant maelstrom for the first time I was like:dwillhuh: calmly got up and turned the game off for the day.

Now whenever I'm passing by that room and I'm playing as a Strider, Ranger, Assassin, or Magic Archer the corrupted pawns are the first ones to get the

Yeah, I know I don't need sli (it's a gen old game), but it's just a pet peeve of mine with developers not supporting sli. It's happening more and more. shyt just pisses me off. :yeshrug:

I dunno why I have a golden border. Some people on steam were saying if you're not using a 1080p monitor shyt fukks up. I gotta play around with it more tomorrow. It makes no sense. 1440p is still 16:9. Why do I have a fukking border? :mindblown:

Nah, you gotta pay attention.

If you come to a ledge, they'll say something like "a fall from there would mean sure death" or "maybe we should jump off this ledge, It'l make our journey shorter"

That way you'll know if you can jump off the ledge or not.

They also hint which way to go for a quest, and tell you what each enemy is weak to.

Yes most of it sounds like mindless chatter, but if you pay attention, some useful stuff is said.
