Unkillable Vrolikai Assassin

[Brynjar]

So, went into the laughing caves. Lots of hard fights in there, but this one is driving me nuts.

You go through the portal, you're faced with a few demons and an archer.

I've killed the Assassin...twenty times at least, in a row, without reloading and it refuses to stay dead. It will immediately stand back up.

I found a mention that swapping to turn based mode fixes it, but it didn't.

I've hit it with every element I have, thinking that it was regening like a troll but that didn't work either.

What am I missing here?

I had the same problem with dozens upon dozens of mythic Drakari soldiers toward the end of the game, it took me almost 2 hours to kill about two dozen of them because they revived 20-40 times each. On core difficulty it was literally the hardest fight I did all game to beat a pack of 6 of them at once. My Gold Dragon main tank had so much con ability damage that I was never able to remove the symbol for con damage off him again. Nothing worked to remove it, nothing. but luckily the gold dragon's stats are broken and locked in place so /shrug that bug worked in my favor. I think these nigh unkillable enemies are a bug, there's just no way they are supposed to be that hard to kill without having some sort of regen skill attached to them.

Some of the Mythic guys with the shards on them get up and have to be killed a few times in a row, but I've never seen this one happen before.

Its really aggravating because I need the stuff in that cave to continue the puzzles.

You could always turn the enemy strength down to nil to speed up the process of being rid of them at least. Up to you. it's definitely a bug so I wouldn't feel bad doing that.

[Brynjar]

I've tried that too. I've legit spent the past two hours trying everything.

Turned the enemy weakness down, damage done to my party down, everything.

I'd be happy to just use my thief to run around and grab the stuff out of the chest while the tank and great sword fighter distract him...But I can't open the chests while in combat. e.e

Maybe download toybox and just instagib the thing. Power to the player lol....

[Brynjar]

Toybox?

[Soul]

Oh its a mod on https://www.nexusmods.com/ for the game. It kinda gives you Dev tools to tackle some of the bugs and stuff. I know a lot of people are using it for various reasons. I have not personally used it however. I'll probably use it if i do another playthrough anytime soon, just to accelerate the crusade mechanics, doing it once the legit way was enough for me.

If you already spent two hours on it, do a test and turn the combat as easy as possible and see if there something you missed. I have yet reached that stage of the game as Drezen took me a full day to clear, so no idea what the problems might be, could be a bug though.

[Brynjar]

Yeah, combat is already set to easy as possible. My party is legit just sitting on him now, killing him over and over again. He barely gets any attacks out.

I just tried the toybox, but that didn't work. "kill all' just lets him keep standing back up again.

[Soul]

well ♥♥♥♥. idk man.

[Brynjar]

LOOOOOOLLLLLLLL

So, out of absolute spite I sat there and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SPAMMED THE ♥♥♥♥ out of the kill all button.

He is staying dead now. Thanks for the help guys!

[Soul]

Lol awesome hope the rest goes smoother for you xD

I have the same problem in my game. Either this particular trashmob is invincible due to a bug or we missed something somewhere, a trick to kill it.

[Brynjar]

As far as I can tell its bugged.

Everyone else seemed to kill it without any kind of special trick. The few posts I can find about it mention that turning on turn based mode fixed it for at least one person.

The people who get the 'bug' are doomed to use the toybox to get rid of it.

I had an enemy that was next to impossible to kill, until I used coup-de-grace on him when he was down. I'm not sure if you'd be able to use it in your situation, but it helped in mine.
