Slayer ** SPOILER **
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 3:55 pm
I searched the threads and the walkthrough (it seems absent in the walkthrough, unless I did something differently), and I was surprised and excited when my Sorcerer became the slayer when I entered the next level of Spellhold after meeting Bhodi again as she promised. "It" started to move towards my other party members after trying to kill Bodhi and failed since she vanished. I feared it might not be too picky with whom it targeted next. I went to where I could close a door, and that was good enough protection.
My questions now lead up to what just happened. As I understand the slayer is an uncontrolled random manifestation until a certain point, which is okay. I assume I need to wipe out Bodhi &/or Irenicus to get my soul back to stave off the Hulk like change. (or at least to control it)
Leading up to this: When being put into slumber by Irenicus and Yoshimo's actions and my Sorcerer wakes up into that dream world, she faces a Cornugan avatar guarding the door that forces a dialogue before entering, and I am curious if anyone knows if selecting a different dialogue option modifies the nature of this slayer form in any way? Once entering this area, talking with Imoen and luring the Bhaal thing inside, do different actions likewise create different aspects to the slayer?
For reference I picked that I'd sacrifice my health and hardiness (Constitution), and then when I lured the Bhaal thing in, I joined with Imoen's essence to kill the creature. So, if picking to lose "Intelligence" and/or maybe "not" killing the Bhaal thing change things?
Since I'm playing a good character, I will treat the slayer form as a curse to be neutralized as it's permitted within the game.
If this changes, I'd be curious since I plan on making an evil party later and would love to look forward to the slayer form to use with its full potential.
NOTE: There's another slayer thread I came across, but I felt that my question was different enough to allow this thread of the same name. It is not my intention to duplicate this thread if deemed inappropriate (ie a duplicate), and I would absolutely move my question to that thread if it's determined to be more suitable there. No infraction of this forum is intended.
