Road to Conflagration.

[davestin]

I can't get to the Conflagration due to the deadly green road that leads there. I thought I would find others with this issue -- I guess I just suck. Help.

You aren't supposed to actually follow the road. It has side areas you have to criss cross. Look closer across from wherever your current location is for openings.

[Jeckenn]

Yeah some of the fences also have areas you can break through so watch for that too.

[massdev]

Its harder when you have a smaller health pool but one of the things you can do when you run on the green is let your health drop down to about 50% so 2 ticks then pop a health potion so you can get to the next safe area. If the road is running horizontally your path is going to be on the green for a spell until you can find the next safe area, which will either be up or down along the path. Look at the larger map and see the fields along the green road, and plan the route in legs, once you make it past one green stretch drop your town portal rift so if you die, you can go back to that spot.

Lastly don't fight on the green or near the crystals and don't stop to pick anything up. You can do it!

[Jeckenn]

Yeah a somewhat difficult fight is that one Captain Sommer wants you to do, the amalgamation mob/boss because the area it is in is lots of deadly green and the gate closes behind you locking you in until you kill it.

Does poison resist help with this part at all? anyone know?

[mikeydsc]

Its not poison, its aether, and from past conversations, if its enviromental, it cant be blocked by resists. Its gonna tick no matter what.

The damage can be mitigated by using an aether cluster. Gives 10 seconds of 90% reduction to all damage. They're somewhat uncommon, unfortunately.

[davidb11]

Odd, with 20% aether resist, the green stuff did less damage.
If it's not changed by resistances, then maybe it's a certain amount of health, and I just gained a lot...:P

[davestin]

Thanks everybody !! : )

[Delekii]

Hit a pot halfway down the road and you will easily reach the end; 0% aether resist and never died on a stretch of green road. Maybe harder in higher difficulties though...

In my experience aether clusters are more commonly received from those aether crystal formations at higher character levels. The aether crystal formations in Warden's Laboratory seem to level pretty well and there are a lot of them so some farming there should net some.

BTW Damage Absorption reduces environment (floor) damage. Pretty sure about this...

[Ri0Rdian]

Damage absorbtion. Nothing else helps (no one mentioned any changes and I do not see them too). Aether resist will not work and the damage is % of your HP so having more doesn't help either.

You can mostly avoid the road by going on either side of it (crossing required though), once or twice you have to go through a longer section. Immunity or absorb abilities and items work great (aether cluser, mirror of erocetes and similar stuff). Potions help a lot too :)

Yup. Before running thru road sections just always make sure you have pots and heals or things like Mirror of Eroctes off cool down etc. Then run on thru.
