Od nua level 7 / animat and adragans.

Hey guys.

I'm currently exploring the path of od nua, but i'm stuck.

In level 7, in the final room, my party is welcome by a bunch of adra animat and spectres.
As I was dying like a lot I watch many walkthrough and it seems my party should only encounter spectres, and no animat or adragans.

Is this a bug, or is the 7th level of od nua an awful place to be ?

I don't remember that specific area (I'm on level 12 I think), but it's possible you were playing at a higher difficulty level, which can add more foes to an encounter, than what you saw on a walkthrough video. Just a guess.

I am stuck in level 7 to - so many animats there! There's no way I can beat them at level 7! Guides and youtube videos don't show animats in that room.What's going on? I'm running the beta version. Normal difficulty.

I ran it not so long ago on PotD difficulty, yeah there are animats and adragans there (which means they're there on some of the difficulty levels). The animats aren't that bad, leave them for last, it's the adragans with their petrification and lightning attacks you have to worry about (I think there might be a bug, returning storm is a centered on caster ability and they can cast it at range). If you have Prayer Against Imprisonment it helps in this fight. It also helps to pull them out of that room and into the hallway. It will make them bunch up so your casters can wipe them out with an AoE spam.

OK, thanx for the answer but should they be there on normal difficulty?

So I have PoE installed on 2 comps. On the first one from which the savegame stems I had the game updated to latest beta version. On this one that I currently played I hadn't hd it on beta.

Maybe this is the reason for the problems?

You don't have to finish Od nua quest at once (you actually don't have to finish it at all - it is optional). Just return there as soon as you level up and become stronger doing other quests around.

Well I know but I think those enemies being there is a bug in the first place for a normal difficulty.

I actually don't remember what enemies should be on a what level - I played PoE more than a half a year ago and I played it at hard difficulty anyway.

I doubt it's a bug though. Some levels of Od nua were really tough but it's ok due to the fact that you don't have to finish it at once. To kill the final boss of Od nua at hard I had to come back to it with the max level party and the fight with it was harder than the fight with the final boss of the whole game.

If it's a problem for you and you don't want to level up to come back later you still can switch difficaly to easy from normal.

Doesn't switching to other difficulty levels only affect places and enemies you haven't yet encountered?

I also read each level of Od Nua correspons to a level of the caracter so when you are level 7 you are ought to do Od Nua level 7.

Not really, there are 15 levels of Od Nua and when the game was first released there were 12 character levels. For the most part lower levels are harder than higher levels, but there are some exceptions (particularly, the levels with mini-bosses).

OK, I see, thanx.

Game hadn't had those enemies in the 7th level as per game guides so they must have added them in a later patch. Very well, my group will venture forward in other direction. :D Thanx for all the info guys.
