Outside Z'Hinda Citadel

Post by Faer'il »

I've just made it Outside The Z'Hinda Citadel and i've been having trouble taking on the Elementals and the Harpies at the same time.My trouble is i've been trying to get rid of the Harpies first just because there so many of them and its hard to concentrate, but the Elementals just start taking my party down one by one.
Soo.... i tried it the other way and i try'd to get rid of the Elementals first because there SO POWERFUl in groups, but that didn't work either so im sort of confused as to wut the hell i should do here. :confused: :confused: :mad: :mad:

Try to disable the spellcasters first, adn if possible have something against fear.
Buff everyone (stoneskin works great, so does (groep)haste).

That's the only advice i can give (this advice is usable for almost every battle BTW)
Just try and once you will succeed!
I do not have the touch, nor do I have the power.

If you have some, use disruption weapons on the elementals. As these are relativly low elementals you will destroy one with nearly every hit.
And as Stilgar already mentioned, use stoneskin.
An invisible rogue or fighter going after the spellcasters is also helpful. Or cast some 4th level or higher spells in their direction, so they can`t protect themselves with the minor globe (use icestorm for example).

And btw: If you didn`t collect the mace of disruption (by winning battle-square level six) this is the last opportunity to go back and get it.

Good luck!

You`re sure you got the 'rank complete' message for level six?

1. Remember, you have to win by three, four , five, six and seven squares to complete a rank.
For each single victory you only get minor rewards, the jackpot is after completing every battle in a rank.

2. If you have a save at the squares, you can do a little swapping with the multiplayer mode to get your people there (some in-/exporting required).

3. If there is no solution:
There is one more disrupting weapon in the game, named 'Hammer of Lucern', a two-handed piercing weapon. I don`t remember where you get it, but it must be before the dragons eye and after the glacier if I remember correctly. But you are not entirely dependent on this mace.

I hope that something helps.

I don`t understand how you can be stuck. If you have trouble with a teleporting monster you can always pull the activation lever to reset. It is counted as loss but there are no other penalties. Than you can start again.

And another little advice:
You do not have to finish the ranks in order. If you want you can start with 10 and finish with 1.
So if you are really stuck, just start the sixth level (I did it first), win the five battles and get your disruptor.
