Necromancer (spoilers)

[Deepy]

So I reached the necromancer (in the castle in the island) and instantly died by him in a cut-scene when he asked my name... now I lost all my equipment and have to get it back there but i need to defeat all the skeletons again because all of them are back, which wouldn't be a big deal but since I don't have anything not even food... is a big issue.

My question is how do I pass this part I don't want to reach the necromancer again and died yet again.

I've experienced frustrating stuff in the game so far, like dying to random enemies that run 100 times faster than you, they even run so fast that they run away from the screen in 1 second and then come back, or being at night and suddenly being attacked by several monsters and dying in a few seconds but at least I kinda got into those situations myself, this is part of the plot and I didn't even get to fight...

So what do I do?

Thanks!

Which enemy is that fast? It sounds like a bug. Tell us so we can fix it.
The game should only punish you when you make mistakes, such as taking the sword from the grave against all recommendations.

Necromancer thing solution is:

1. You need to know your name. (it is in logs and inventory stats page)
2. Tell him after that you don't wish to be possessed.

thanks, i finally passed that part!

it was here where a church is https://imgur.com/a/SaIHkpQ

it happened again in this place, but it was the skeletons that were a floor above me, they were running out of the screen and also walking through air I guess it's because they couldnt find the path down so they went crazy.
I guess the same thing happened on the church since I was surrounded by several skeletons just escaping and running away from them but the ones that were not able to catch me or get close to me went like crazy and suddenly running like at 10 times the normal speed, they cached me and killed me.

But is not telling your true name to an obviously malignant entity really a mistake (especially considering that names have some significance in dark magic)? Playing through multiple hours of ironman and then dying to such "lol you unconditionally die now" move is really frustrating. Didn't see any recomendations to pick the most counterintuitive option in that case.

You are correct that we should add more clarity, maybe through notes and tips around the castle. Thank you on feedback.

that's exactly what happened to me, I thought to give him a wrong name because if he knew my real one he would have controlled me but that was the incorrect answer and there wasnt any text about this particular thing to warn me about it.

With the latest patch, notes have been added at two locations on the road toward the island, explaining to the player what to do through poetry.
