Summoning undead w/o body

[Puppyjawz]

Are there any places in act 3 that you can use create undead? I know about the 2 places in act 2 but I want to know if there’s any in act 3.

There are a bunch of rats in act 3(and 2), I carry their bodies for easy Dance Macabre summons. xD

I don't think Dance Macabre needs a body to begin with.

Yep I always wondered why it didn't consume the rat and would always pick them back up just in case... facepalm lol

As for animate dead, there is a very large cemetery in the north-central part of the second major map of Act 3. I've never tried to summon anything there, but I expect there would be opportunities.

I ALSO expect that raising a person as a zombie would piss off the people mourning that person... but you're welcome to try.

Without spoiling places, I have tried in a bunch of obvious ones it doesn't seem possible... rip.

Dang. Well thanks for going out of your way to look for something like that for me. Not a lot of people would do that.

That doesn't mean there aren't any though... if you find some let us know. xD

Why would the spell stop functioning, is it a bug

Animate Dead ++ mod is a really nice one .... you require no corpses for summoning undead, and you can toggle to make sure all undead are controllable. Also, I think it adds options, Create Undead lets you summon a death knight or a spectre as well as a mummy lord (currently your only vanilla option).

I don't believe it overcomes the "autopilot" ghouls of Danse Macabre, but there is yet another mod that does. Also buffs the ghouls a bit to the way they were in EA.

Animate Dead ++ is for power gaming pricks. regular Animate Dead is perfectly fine, and it's not like there's any shortage of corpses to turn into Undead. a Sorcerer 2/Wizard 10 can convert a couple spells slots into Sorcery Points for Twinned Spell, get those slots back with Arcane Recovery, and use Cherished Necromancy staff to not use any spell slots to create your Undead by summoning and murdering a familiar. you can have 1 Shadow, 2 Mummies, 4 Zombies/Skeletons/Winged Ghouls/Ghouls, and 5 Danse Macabre Ghouls at a time and you only need 6 corpses to do it. throw in a Cleric with Aid, Heroic Feast, and Spellcrux Amulet, and all of your Undead have respectable hp, even the Zombies and Skeletons.

How do you use rats to create undead? It doesn't seem to work for me

Perhaps. I don't do much necromancy. I prefer other summons. I just wanted to point out it lets you do both Animate and Create Undead without corpses. Which related to the question asked. It also seems to give you more control over summoned undead, seems to be a nice feature. Only tested it once, as I said, tend to prefer other summons.

Other than that, I make no judgement over those who do or don't use it.

there are a ♥♥♥♥ ton of dead bodies you can dig up or just find....

I was wrong, I thought i was using them for the danse macabre book but turns out it was just invoking them out of thin air lol.

If you want something that doesn't weight a lot you can bring some intellect devourers with you i guess. ^^

Why not just stash bodies in act 1&2 into crates and send them to camp?

[Schmeeda]

Honestly I'd just go to the sewer, slaughter all of those bhaalists and refugees and then bam that should be enough bodies to get your snowball started.
