Carnivorous Crystal Bugged?

[atm]

OK something seems off here, and I think it may be a genuine bug. I have found the carnivorous crystals tough but doable, but I was inspecting them when I was finding trouble against three greater crystals, discovering that I had to pass a DC 40 check each round in order to not be stunned.

Examining their stat descriptions, I see that Subsonic Hum is supposed to require a DC 22 fortitude check, and once you pass it you aren't supposed to be able to be affected by it for 24 hours. Checking the log, I am getting hit by repeated DC 40 checks - the best way I have found to fight them is have Seelah (who I levelled as a nature oracle) stand behind her pet, granting him +7 to saves from her oracle ability (char to animals' saves), and also have greater heroism, bear's endurance, and a +5 cloak or resistance on him (wolf). I managed to get his fortitude save to +37, which is nearly enough to guaranteed pass the hum effect (I am also a trickster with the 'turn all 1's into 20's' mythic trick).

Even then I still can't quite pass this because even though everyone else is perma-stunned (my main char has a fort save of 20, which is exactly not enough to ever pass a 40 dc check, and he is the best of the group - on top of this you have to pass it three times per round, because of the three mobs with Subsonic Hum), the wolf does get stunned occasionally and gets hit by their tentacle attack, which most of them time just 1 shots him and petrifies him.

The difficulty is Core. It appears the effects I am experiencing do not match the descriptions at all, but even so it is obvious that something is wrong. The hum effect says you are supposed to become immune once you break it, which is most definitely not happening. Most parties will not be able to pass 40 DC checks every round, making me wonder if something is wrong with the encounter.

Resurrecting this thread again, because years later this dumb encounter is still bugged and busted and absurdly difficult without getting extremely lucky on save scumming, or just meta-gaming it.

Some of the stuff that Owlcat has left in this game is shameful.

I think haunting mists spell oneshots them. So its just as broken as the encounter. Use that.

I just set the difficulty to casual when encountering them, I don't have the patience for this BS anymore.

Always been "bugged". You can counter the stun with shield of law IIRC. One of those "shield of alignement" anyway, if not all. Also they have trash dex, so anything that target dex will work.

WOTR is a lot about hard countering an otherwise super difficult mechanic. Poison vbs delay poison, stat drain vs death ward....
