On the Divine Hunt Tundra Main Story Quest, Time limit on overall map?

[kingtigertrdg]

Is there anything to miss or lose IF you explore (and or fail the where to find the prisoner events) and get to them if you don't rush to them?

Has me a bit worried as I want to get the resources and battles in before heading to there, but might there be an issue if you don't rush to that battle and explore the overall map?

Thanks

Overthinking but the get the demon mark off you know who was tough and don't want to miss anything for the first Tundra hunt map!!

Thanks

Not AFAIK. The only "timed" mission is the "Lost Son" one (ie: save Elan)

You can explore as much as you want. The only factors that influence the battle slightly is how well you do in the events leading up to the fight.

Thanks gang, I rushed it so I'll go back to a before save and explore :)

I actually failed that mission on my first try, because while I was able to kill all the enemies in time I did not directly "activate" the hostage. And so the story treated her as killed, even though I'd won before the timer expired and she was alive at the time.

Was that intended? Would be nicer to the player if it treated "mission won before the timer ends" as "saved the hostage."

Strange, I am attempting this now.

So the question is does the "Hostage" always Transform to that certain something, or if one can get to interact with her before that countdown goes off or you get to close? to her to set "it" off.

Or it does'nt matter and the outcome is the same???

Thanks

I am not sure if there's anything of note happening if you save her (wouldn't be against gaining an adventurer like that) but you definitely can avoid the transformation by getting close and Q interacting

[kingtigertrdg]

So far can't get close enough before the turn limit goes off. Tried shadowwalking character has the extra + 1 move plus the +1 move boots but always a square off, I must be missing something SIGH......

Any hints on how you got close enough in turns by chance?

Thanks

Mage haste and shadowwalking, teleport or leap

[Zeks]

BP movement restoration too

[kingtigertrdg]

Thanks, I'll try that and hope for getting something different than what ya get for tripping the "Hostage" and killing everything. And hopefully GG can pop in and post what is different for the options in this .

Thanks again

So looks like the only thing that changes is if you don't interact and defeat the extra thing then you get an item for a +1 Skill potion. Otherwise it just changes from no survivors to we saved 1. But saw no other implications so should be safe either way I'm thinking?? Extra skill potion is nice though :)

Would have been a perfect way to get an extra companion, but maybe in the next game he makes!!

there are more survivors if you don't waste time in the differents events.

Personally I've pushed without rest, pushed through blizzard, buried the body, and fought the scouts, Then I had 6 turns to save the decoy and the post fight explanation stated that there were lots of survivors. I don't know what it changes though. (also, no skill potion as you don't get the oportunity to obtain the material needed for it )

Also, the knight survived - barelly, that's what you get when you keep hitting a boss who used parry despite the traits "will get stacks with each parry" "can retaliate at any point with [lvl x number of stacks] damage in AOE". I don't know if he dies for real if he get defeated during the fight.

Also, why the hell does the saint go in close quarter with the boss and spam punny magic bolts instead of healling map wide from afar ??! Does she have a death wish ?

Now that we're a few months since start of this thread.... anyone figure out any benefit to actually saving the girl? Seems kinda weird that it's actually better not to save (if you kill the big bad transformed thing you get a chance at extra skill point?)

Grants you the best legendary robe possible for a saint

Likewise saving all the hostages in the optional First Love story quest gives you the best legendary outfit possible for a rogue/assassin/reaper.
