Lich horde battle - odd bug - *minor spoiler*
Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2001 3:46 am
Hi everyone!
As a newbie, sorry in advance if this topic has been covered already but...
My friend and I were playing multiplayer via serial cable with our 2 tanked up characters, and soon after escaping the prison, we charged to the Crooked Crane by the gates to pick up Daystar. He lurked upstairs, and the plan was for my character (swash/mage) to go and kill the lich.
So, I charged in, grabbed the sword, and as the lich started his Time Stop (I assume) I ran out the door... Usually this means he loses his spell and tries to follow you, and you can run back and forwards hitting him as he comes through the door.
So... the lich comes out the door, I wait for him to start another spell, and run back into the room... but to my surprise, he's still in the same place in the little crypt room. OK, no problem, I think, and run back out. He's there too. I wait for about a round, scratching my head... and a SECOND lich appears next to the first one in the inn room. Back into the crypt room. TWO there as well.
Back out. Back in. Several times. Oops. Can't reach door in crypt room as too many liches in the way. Looks tricky. *Never tell me the odds!*
Anyhow, I thought I'd try fighting, but decided I couldn't be bothered after about the 4th Time Stop in a row, with another 6 or so liches still to use theirs. Just wondering if anyone else had seen this bug, as I've been through the game a couple of times and never had it before...?
Yours outnumberedly...
