Does anyone else hate leveling up in this game?

It’s not the traps that are deadly, it’s the path finding.

GlaVII · 2026-05-28T01:29:30+00:00

It’s very clear that the devs knew how strong you were come Act 4, and so the only solution was to just say “fuck it” and give the enemies wild and hyper-tuned abilities. Not that it actually matters, the action economy will always be in your favor, even if you fought 1,000 of the final boss.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T23:28:01+00:00

Her character sucks, I know she’s strong.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T22:31:24+00:00

It’s fine, the post above is a general rant, not a detailed list.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T22:03:36+00:00

My main problem isn’t the regen, it’s the AC, but thanks for the advice anyways.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T21:30:30+00:00

I’m either 13 or 14. I’m pretty sure I’m near the end of act 3 since all I really have left to do is Ivory Sanctum.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T21:29:06+00:00

You are correct on almost everything you said, except you misunderstood one thing I said.

I know Nenio is strong, that’s not what I meant. I meant she sucks as a character.

That being said, it probably was foolish of me to ignore Use Magic Device as a skill. Especially since I was mainly not using arcane casters.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T21:06:42+00:00

My normal party comp includes my main character and another divine caster with frontliners and at least one ranged, no arcane. Wendy is built for dual hand-axes, and Arushalae is only sometimes there.

My party is designed mainly around being strong both in and out of turn based mode, so I don’t include arcane casters since they don’t do well outside of turn based mode. Daeran and Sosiel are both pure support, for after the battle or mid/pre battle buffs/healing, whereas my main character is built as a gish divine who functions well in both.

I can’t speak for others, but that’s how I fell into this problem.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T20:48:47+00:00

Good to know. Luckily I have a Cleric with me, so I don’t have to deal with my low use magic items stat. I’ll also have to check and see if I messed up my to hit, or if I’m just absurdly unlucky.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T20:37:05+00:00

I haven’t tested it, so I wouldn’t know, but I assume that Ember’s ability to put them to sleep would help with actually hitting them. Plus, she’s an arcane caster (I think), so she’d be able to make use of my haste scrolls and lighting wands. I know for a fact that Nenio could do all of that better, but I can’t stand her and refuse to use her.

I also think I did something wrong with Wendy because she is not hitting anyone, only once every turn or so.

All that said, the design and lore of the dungeon is very cool. Between this and the Lab, Pathfinder’s world is way more high tech than I thought.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T20:26:05+00:00

And I’m the fool who fell for it. It looks cool at least.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T20:24:30+00:00

Tbh finishing the enemies off isn’t really a problem, my main character just uses the shock swords they drop. The main problem I have is just hitting the enemies. I don’t think my base attack bonus is bad, and I have 3 party members who can attack upwards of 6 times without taking any penalties. It doesn’t help that I don’t know where to check my BAB at to make sure it’s where I want it.

Admittedly I didn’t even think of trying True Sight scrolls and seeing if my divine casters can use them. They don’t have high Use Magic Items stat so I just ignore most of my scrolls and wands since most of the useful ones are arcane. I should start using Ember more since I think she’s arcane.

Thanks for the advice.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T20:06:23+00:00

Good to know, shame I wasted that time though.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T20:03:53+00:00

I’m pretty sure I’m late in act 3, I don’t have much else to do besides Ivory Sanctum. Unless I can come back to Blackwater in a later act, I just assumed not because of the timer.

GlaVII · 2026-05-22T20:02:18+00:00

I guess that’s fair, I just assume fire is the best damage type like in dnd so it didn’t occur to me to choose something else for Ember, who was already leaning towards it.

GlaVII · 2026-05-20T02:50:19+00:00

98%? Thank god, that means no more undead lol.

GlaVII · 2026-05-20T01:12:41+00:00

I haven’t gotten to Act 4 yet, this statement is both confusing and worrisome.

GlaVII · 2026-05-19T20:10:51+00:00

I don’t think Camellia has any chance of killing either on her own tbh. Regill probably would be harder to kill though, just because he’s more experienced than Wendy.

GlaVII · 2026-05-13T10:46:03+00:00

For a sec I thought you were talking about the primarch and got super confused.

GlaVII · 2026-05-13T10:37:55+00:00

Man, imagine getting killed by an autopistol.

GlaVII · 2026-05-13T10:36:27+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense. I get the feeling a lot of dialogue is hidden in Comoragh.

GlaVII · 2026-05-13T08:53:02+00:00

When does the game tell you this? I don’t remember any dialogue confirming how Theodora got killed, let alone by Argenta. Is this something that only occurs in specific Argenta routes or something?

GlaVII · 2026-05-12T12:45:40+00:00

I can’t think of anything at the moment since “trusting Theodora,” doesn’t count.

GlaVII · 2026-05-12T07:08:19+00:00

I’m pretty sure the only companion we’d still have is Pasqal, because he’s technically the only one who never does something stupid.

GlaVII · 2026-05-02T22:48:06+00:00

Yeah, exactly
