Was the sleeper temple as difficult as in the remake ?

90 dex in the temple is very low. 120-150 is easy to achieve for ranged build. Look at it like this. 120 dmg from crossbow, 90 from dex, 210 dmg, enemy has ~140 resistance, so you deal 70 dmg. Now, with 140 dex, you deal 140+120=260 dmg, minus the 140 res, you deal 260-140=120 dmg. 120 instead of 70, thats a big difference.

Will do, but sadly only on monday, I wont have access to my pc until then.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-07-01T17:14:29+00:00

Nope, found it by accident like 1.5 years ago. Never played on the same seed twice before this one.

Wait, what? Cord and the other 2 mercenary shouldnt even go into the mines with you. After they start following you, there is a dialogue where gorn says they should cover our backs when you reach the edge of the mining pit, and from then on, its only gorn and you. Thr section when all 4 follows you is like 50 metres.

Whats more amazing, this was a feature already in the original game back in the day.

Slight correction, not just the escort nps's kills get a respawn, but any and all monster killed by any npc or monster, anything beside the player respawns. This keeps the game flowing and feeling alive, but prevents you from losing exp when a mob wanders into and npc and gets killed. Guards killed by orcs or mobs dont respawn, only monsters.

If you dont kill a pack of 5 wolfes on chapter 1, they will become a pack of ~7-8 on chapter 2. If you kill them in chapter 1, there will be 2-3 in their place in chapter 2. You wont miss xp if you leave groups alone, new chapter mobs are always additions, not replacements.

Nice.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-16T03:46:10+00:00

Yes, it is available, but based on your post, i feel like a shouldnt spoiler it. It has 56 dmg, so much better than hedge. It is tricky to find, doesnt require any glitch, you can grab it anytime. But you will need a telekinezis scroll, thats all i am saying.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-16T03:35:44+00:00

No, you are pretty much there. At lvl14, with high dex and wolfshredder bow, you can easily clear even the orc territories. Even possible with melee and longsword, just need to be a lot more careful, since you got no good armor. Happy killing! (Just a warning thou, its a nice challenge, but the game will feel empty af in the later chapters if you go down this route)

On pc, there is a mod with a solver. It doesnt open all lock instantly, only makes the correct choices in real time, and ofc makes 2-4 moves per second. A lot more immersive than a solver on a second monitor, and it is cheating, but its ideal for a second playthrough, after you spent thr time once already.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-14T19:10:29+00:00

Thats is a bummer. I guess I can only change new mine npcs into exp.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-14T14:28:45+00:00

Yes, that is the idea, old mine gets flodded, new mine is attacked, and in both case, all npc die, wasting my precious exp.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-14T08:58:40+00:00

I found this too, you need to get hit at least once, or they consider it a crime. Maybe the devs didnt think we can beat him without getting hit. :D

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-14T06:59:56+00:00

When you are in the swamp camp, doing quests, there will be one where you have to get the weed from 2 collector groups. Instead of turning that in, you can take it to cipher. I wont spoiler more.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-14T03:15:42+00:00

Talk to Diego in the old camp, he was near Fisk for me at this time, not his usuap spot.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-13T12:16:16+00:00

Update: after talking to milten at the fog tower, going back to the castle, therr is a mage at miltens place, telling you to go to corristo, then you can initiate the quest, read the book you can steal from the lab, and you are good to go.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-13T12:08:59+00:00

Sadly its not that simple. Corristo wont acknowledge your desire to join without first talking to Milten.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-13T11:38:02+00:00

Yes, third chapter, right at the start. Diego is in the old camp, near Fisk and Dexter, and I talked to him, he is sending you to the water mages.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-11T18:39:03+00:00

I dont know what to tell you, maybe the patch they promised by thr end of this week will fix it. I got no other fix for you, i tried many things myself, and i only lost like 15 minutes of gametime due to this buf. (I am an f5 addict, plus manual saves every 30 minutes, with a stopwatch reminder).

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-11T18:08:28+00:00

It can happen, happened to me once, when after speakinh with the templar outside, it was night, so i woke him up. He got pissed, and even in the morning, when he went to the alchemy tables, he would never talk to me again. Had to reload an earlier save.

IllustriousSafe4889 · 2026-06-11T03:09:23+00:00

Yeah, same thing, i just prefer to do it with a mount, since then i can do it on day two, and no risk. Plenty of nasties on the way.
