demons in the archeologist quest

[Drowning witch]

They are so OP its a joke. can block even with their backs, and they constantly block, plus there's a 5 minute time limit in the final area. spells do laughably low damage, and i just can't kill them in time.

I am stuck...

I use slow time, leg it all the way to the bottom of the dock and then use lots of area damage spells.

Just run past them, you only need to kill the ones guarding the Archaeologist, the rest the guards take care of. And either use magic or arrows so they can't block, or learn to roll around and attack. It's actually a really easy quest.

I actually am finding that this game is extremely easier since I played it as a child (and I didn't find it hard back then either). But keep in mind I am shooting my mouth off when I haven't touched the new difficulty. Also just beef up your physique, get 1 of the legendary weapons (mine was the monk sword with fire and piercing augmentations), and the only spells I use are heal and force push. But since force push is a universal spell, ALWAYS GET IT. Reasons: It comes in handy when surrounded all the time; It costs very low mana to use; Barely does any damage to nearby friendly npc's; And costs very little to get to a high spell level without forcing you to waste a lot of your main (or green) experience. Overall I am loving the nostalgia trip playing this game and the support from the developers. Keep up the great job guys and hope to see more fable works come to pc in the near future.

im playing on heroic, i only have lighting, fireball, divine AOE and the AOE that knocks down., but all those spells to crappy damage :|. i have to roll around a lot and hope they don't block too much.

I think the tip about just killing the guarding ones will help, thx. because i only have 1 minute left to kill the guardians, and they just block, and block and block :D

Also when they get knocked down by force push, focus 1 enemy at a time and smack him in the arse when he gets back up. And when the others get close or the focus target is blocking...Force Push him down in the dirt. Rinse. Repeat.

Did they reduce the time to complete the quest on Heroic?

doesn't help, you can't hit them until they get up, but they insta block on getting up :|

Its 5 min on heroic, never played the game before.

i don't think these are balverines, they have magic, and swords and wear clothing :D

Do you Flourish?

Or roll behind and hit them after dodging their attack?

I roll ye, but its not really 100% as they have quick attacks and turn around quickly.

Im gonna try one more time then use the run and kill just the guardians tactic.

[Drowning witch]

nope, not doable with the skill set I have and no more quests to be done for xp. the constant block+ the fact you can't hit enemies that are knocked down makes it not doable in 5 min.

I even rushed to the archeologist to kill just the guards as somoene suggested, and it didn't work.

all the enemies followed me there and time ran out while i was rolling around trying to get a few hits in the back.

Up until this point the game was borderline casual, and now i can't pass this part :D

Spells are severely underpowered, and pretty much useless. takes me like 3 full mana bars to zap 2 enemies to death. that's literally over 1 minute of constant zapping.

Spells underpowered? i beat the last boss in about 1-2 minutes with Berserk, Physical Shield and Time Stop.. just get a better arsenal of spells.

You know you can train pretty efficiently outside of quests too?
if you know what you are doing, it's feasible to get around a 20x multiplier, and there are a few things that can net you tons of experience, for any of the three kinds.

Some foods give red experience, doing profit with merchant trading for yellow, and spamming spells like summon for blue (very low mana cost after the initial cast).
If you have a decently high multiplier, getting the experience is really not that hard.

To get such multipliers, the hobble cave is a good early one (doesn't have merchants), the bandit camp also has quite a few targets.

But if you are aiming for the yellow experience, then the road between the first two cities is what you should aim for. Just confirm that there is a "goods" trader in the area, wipe of the enemies, trade for profit (buying/selling lots of potions appears to work decently for a fast profit), and profit from both extra money and lots of yellow experience.
