Maze: Can't find water elemental

[ShortRound]

I have cleared the maze up to just before the Hosilla fight. It seems there is a water elemental, but I did not fight it yet. When I go to the kitchen area (also checked YouTube videos to confirm I am going to the right place) - nothing is there.

Do I need to beat Hosilla first or is the game bugged?

probably bugged.

Either you are just not seeing it, you've already killed and forgotten or something very, very strange has happened to your game. I have not see a single report of this elemental being missing either during beta or since release.

Are you using any mods by any chance?

Check the default steps. Most of those cases like you described are loading issues.

================================================

When you have an issue and start checking, make sure to make a general check to get faster to a possible solution:

■ Is the version you are playing the latest?

■ Are you using mods? If yes, do the issues still persist when you uninstall the mods?

■ Are the game files integrity still okay? After multiple patches there is no guarantee that some leftover files might lead to unknown issue which would usually be cured with a verification of game files.

■ Are you playing the game with combat in real time mode or turn based mode? If you are playing it in turn based mode, do the issues still persist when switching to real time mode?

■ Make sure to provide information which OS you are using. There are differences even between Windows versions which can lead to certain issues.

■ Keep your drivers up to date. You might be surprised how a corrupted file with video drivers, usb drivers, etc. could cause the game to crash. Before reinstalling the game after all files have been verified, you might want to make a clean reinstall your gfx card drivers first, as it turned out to be an uncommon yet not rare issue with crashes.

■ Send a bug report ingame by pressing ALT+B to open the reporting tool. Your save file and gaming system's specification will help the developers to identify special causes of rare issues.

Hi - I'm an idiot and didn't see an unopened door.
Holy cow the fight is unbalanced - pretty much one shots everyone.

Yeah, it's the first optional "trophy fight". These are the most difficult fights in the game. I have avoided it so far as it costs just about every consumable you have to beat it fair and square. But of course you don't have to be fair about it. Next game I'm going to try this:


There's a big table in the middle of the room. Plan is to have someone kite it round the table while the rest shoot it from range. I hear this works although I can't confirm it.

Running on Core, I piled all defensive items I could on Seelah and she managed to tank it just fine... every three or four attempts. Yes, save-scumming helps. But it's an obvious over-level (and totally optional) fight, so it's made to be hard to get through unscathed.
You can probably do better with a pure defensive MC build but I haven't tried that yet.
