Trapped in Shadow Lands (Spoilers Act 2)
Hey guys, I'm currently kinda stuck in Act 2. I'm playing a "kinda" evil playthrough and killed nearly everyone, inlcuding the pixie. So I'm vulnarable to the "darker" shadow curse. Because of that I'm following the Thaniel questline to lift the curse. The problem is, when I'm following Oliver through the portal and defeat him, I die because of the curse. Fast Travel is also not available somehow.

I've tried to leave 1 member behind so he could revive the team for gold in the camp, but they dont actually die. The others are becoming undead and cant be revied in the camp. I've also tried to burn myself in the few seconds I have left after the fight and conversation, but seems that dont work too...

Anyone got an idea how I might gonna fix this? (;

I knew it, only capitalist evil is the best evil.

Well if you're evil you can't complete Thaniel quest to remove curse i think, because of Halsin is dead no ? Need confirmation on that.

Halsin for now actually still lives. The questline is active.

Well then you just need all your characters to move with torches i guess.

Well, torches dont work against this kind of Dark Curse :/ Otherwise it wouldn't be a problem :(

Use the light spell?

Also only works against the basic curse, but not that one in this area. :/

....Go to Moonrise towers, search for Balthazar room, he has a stash of lanterns somewhere.

There is a spare moonlantern in the necromancer's room in Moonrise Towers. Zer'll should of given you the key if you talked to her. If not, break in and nab it.

I can't reach it, because I basically have to go through the area where the fights happens → Stronger Curse and no defense against it.

You can reach Moonrise by going to the outside of the Tollhouse, just before passing onto the darker curse area, and dash through in Turn base mode on to reach Moonrise. You should completely avoid the fight with Oliver this way

I won't be gentle about it, you're doing an idiotic playthrough. Help yourself.

So because I'm roleplaying in a roleplay game where I'm not the stereotypical hero it is idiotic. If you dont have any further ideas, thats fine. Safe the other useless comments.

You're roleplaying as a sadistic idiot from what i can tell. So it's fitting that your character is now stuck in there.

Btw usually you check the internet when you have difficulties, there are enough guides to help.
