endless horror combat sequence help.

[catsarecute]

I can make it as far as the 3rd encounter (7 cultists) and it just isnt happening for me. Rhin is KO'd and the entire party's health pool is halved before the second round. I can take out one cultist with Err and another with LC using chemical weapon, but the remaining 5 ruin me before I even get a chance to fight back. I am on my 6 th attempt and quite frankly I am finiding this whole section just disrespectful and rude of the developer to put upon the player. :(

So what is the trick? Do I hang back and let that giant maw bite them and whittle their health down? Can these unfair fights be avoided?

I am completely stumped.

Can these unfair fights be avoided?
completely.

I dunno man, maybe you mis-managed your group and leveling? I am trying to get the most combat out of this game as I can, and I steam rolled through every group of cultists there and made it to the end...won't spoil it for ya. I have two glaives, nano, and a jack.

Either you have a couple of nanos with AOE spells or a cipher or two with AOE knockdown effects. Better both. Otherwise you are pretty much screwed. So much for party buildind diversity in this game.

If you aren't planning to fight Inifere* (the leader of the cultists), you could just cut through the skin-like things and skip the battle.

*Can be talked down/deceived/persuaded to commit suicide/etc.

I managed to clear to the area by maintaining a distance and let the giant toothy maw kill them off. Forunately, I didnt have to fight Inifere at the end.

I beat them by abusing the horrors. They suck everyone, not just the party in, so I just pegged where each one would be and lured the cultists into place. With the horror bitting the things, I had a huge advantage, and that was with a huge non-combat specced nano build with Rhin.
