Hi there
Does anyone have a saved game to get me past the surgeons that is behind the door in the woods that had an elf nailed to it. It is the first place after killing Desparager or whatever his name is! If not I really need some ideas I have read what others have said and managed to kill one of them. Just getting really frustrated. Thanks.
DSBW Flipping Surgeons!(possible spoilers)
I understand your frustration! In Mercenary and Veteran levels killing off both surgeons was a challenge but not impossible. I've just finished Part 2 in elite level and the second surgeon was very very very hard. He was level 100 and my party members (3 melee, one nature one combat and one ranger) were at 97. I gave up and simple went trawling for more experience - walking from Amanlu through the woods and taking on anything that moved - I also buffed up all party members (except combat mage) in nature skills (level 45 to 50) so that they each had two summonsed creatures. Once I had reached level 98 and was well on the way to level 99 with the characters I tried again (third attempt!). I had 8 summonsed creatures in the final battle and used the following approach:
1) kill off as quickly as possible the crawlers (to stop the surgeon renewing health), the hit the surgeon with all powers - you will not always have time to unload on him before more crawlers are summoned.
2) If more crawlers are sumonsed BEFORE the first set are killed, don't hesitate to use powers to destroy them (waves of force was useful for all my mellee characres and shrapnel blast for the ranger)
3) Pause regularly to see exactly where the summonsed crawlers are so you don't waste time trying to see them
4) Arrive with a full inventory of manna and health potions - unless you are at least the same level as the surgeon you wil need them.
It still took 25 minutes!
Good luck
