I Hate the Shadow Curse

[Tick Tock (Tim)]

I just wanted to throw that out there, just in case the devs read these forums. I love everything about this game except the Shadow Curse. It sucks. Sure, there is one way (a buff from a pixie) to get rid of it but even this buff vanishes if you use the portals to go back to Act 1. I just wish there was a quest that would completely remove it from the game.

Maybe someone will make a mod that gets rid of the damn shadow curse!

you can get the buff again by using the item the pixie gave you

try doing this the evil way, you would hate it even more LOL
but i quite like the challenge, act 2 is short anyway and there are areas that are well-lit or unaffected by the curse

If you release the pixie she gives you a bell along with a party wide advanced shadow curse protection. Use the bell to re-apply the buff whenever you go back and forth.

The shadow curse is easy and you're complaining about that? lol

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

You're supposed to hate it, ot's a curse! And there's more than one way to deal with it.

just give one of your magic-users a moonlantern and be on your way?

i just had my bard carry the moonlantern around the whole act. She just focused on casting spells and buffing allies while everyone else did all the killing.

Just because there's a part where you walk around with a lantern or a blessing.
You deserve to have your darkvision removed. In a normal game humans would have to walk around with torches... all the time.
You're lucky there's no day and night cycle.

If you freed the pixie she gives you a little bell at the same time as casting your immunity buff. If you lose the immunity buff for any reason you simply have to ring the bell then ask her nicely and she'll renew the immunity for you.

You can literally get rid of it within 30mins

First time through i thought it was frustrating, but on subsequent runs really didn't have an issue with it since i knew what to expect. Done both good and evil runs, and basically just made sure it went to get a lantern almost first thing, then it becomes a non-issue.

There are a lot of things in this game where if you don't play the game exactly the way you are supposed to, your game just gets ruined. I went into the shadowlands the "wrong way," apparently, via the elevator in the Underdark. Don't go this way! You're not near anything that protects you from the shadow curse.
Then, I looked it up, got the buff from the pixie to get protection from it. Then I thought, "Great! It's gone!" So, I went back to Act 1, came back to Act 2 and the buff was gone.

But, I didn't know the item could cast the buff again. Good to know.
