Darkness Falls question...

[Khissi]

Well, I met an Incubus tonight... huge numbers of HPs and even though I was using Blessed mods, fully modded level 61 weapons (a 71 combat shotgun), I couldn't damage him much at all. I did some damage, but his regen was supremely... insane, I guess is the appropriate word. I had only just discovered the Wasteland trader, and was doing my best to upgrade her post enough that the crazy in that zone wouldn't manage to kill her right away... only, a demon portal opened just over the hill, and whammo...

So, though I'm fairly sure I need to upgrade further using laser etc, and I'm no where near that ability, I'm wondering if my Trader will be gone forever since I had to hightail it on my motorcycle or die... nasty thing. He had already killed the Guard Captain, but had not gone after Caitlin, when I left. I was hoping he would leave her be once I was gone, but I'm a bit shaken about going back out there at the moment. It's a VERY long ride back to her area and takes me over 4 ingame hours to get there on 120 length days, so I thought if there were some insight here that would save me a wasted trip, it would be helpful.

Hey, just encountered my first incubus and had the same issue. I'm level 105 and hes trapped on the other side of an invincible door as I write this. I can't out damage his regen at all. Laser mods are the only answer?

[Khissi]

Yes, unfortunately. You need that special Blessed mod AND the laser weapons against true demons. You can usually out-damage the regen on normal zombies with the demon aura. I learned the hard way NOT to stay in the wasteland trader at night for any reason. The traders were okay, and even though part of the base was destroyed, she and the Guard Captain were back there after I died and got up the nerve to return a few days later on. What I did was go back to the first bunker I looted at the behest of the special mobile trader. I did that bunker several times, and, about a week after that incident at Caitlan's, she had the special bench AND forge in her trades! Bought them, got the heck out of Dodge, and built the weapons and armor I needed. The rest was just fun, death, more fun...

Ahhh, I see, so tag 'em with the base laser pistol and whip out the big guns?

So putting in that ammo that stops enemy healing is actually really useful? I got one, but its just in my stash for now. Ive got a lvl5 weapon, been wondering what else to put in it.

[Khissi]

I have not played the latest iteration of Darkness Falls. I played the alpha 18 version. However, the rad remover does stop rads from healing, and the Blessed mod does stop the demons from healing, though, the true demons... the Succubi and Incubus.. are very, very different. Killing them is pretty darned hard unless you're using the right weapon setup which may have changed in alpha 19, so I'm not certain. Laser rifle/pistol are pretty darned important and are about the only things that will take them down fast enough that you may survive the encounter. That Blessed mod is necessary as is anything more that gives it greater damage against demons. Be sure to read the descriptions for each mod, especially the things you can make in the mega-ultra-sweet workbench. (getting old and forgetting the names of things is my excuse for that..)
