Rook died permanently ?

[sampo2k]

First time player here. I was just exploring the water temple dungeon and got to the lower floor after draining the water. Had to fight against some mage type enemies and they managed to kill my pawns permanently (Was this because I didn't help them soon enough?)

Anyways I re-visited the void and got the pawn back that I created. However "Rook" didn't come back and he had all my good items! I guess they're gone now?

So now, is there anyway to create the second pawn myself or am I forced to choose from the ones in the void ?

Thank you.

You can only create one pawn, the others you have to rent. The stuff Rook was carrying should have gone back into your storage room. You have to help your pawns now and then, put items to cure maladies restore health and stamina etc in their inventory. Don't know why you'd be doing the water god alter quest while having a level 6 mage on hand. Rushing up through the levels is a good way to shoot yourself in the foot.

Rook shows up in the offline mode but you have to specify Level 6 mage in your search. No pawn you allow to be killed can be retrieved in the Rift and still have all the stuff you put in it's inventory on hand, except for your own pawn. You can rehire them in the Rift by using the tab marked "pawns you've previously summoned" or under the "friends" tab.

If a pawn drops to 0 HP, you have a limited amount of time to revive them before they disappear. Some things, such as falling in the water, can make them disappear instantly. This is probably what happened, as in that particular location it is especially easy to fall the water.

If a pawn dies, anything they were carrying gets put in your storage. So not to worry, none of your items were actually lost.

You should be able to re-recruit Rook, if you really want to. Any pawn that dies can be rehired at a rift stone. If your main pawn dies, they automatically reappear as soon as you touch a rift stone.

I think that you can hire Rook on the void again, as support pawn. But as the support pawns do not level up, you should instead hire some pawns on your level instead.

And also, in water locations pawns tend to feed the Brine by jumping into the water.

1. In the "Void" (it is called Rift) you see Pawns that are somehow connected to you: you added them to Favorites, you hired them, Friend pawns etc. If you have none such available there will be random Pawns there. And keep in mind that there's a limit of Pawns shown in the Rift.

But that's all just for show, these are the Pawns acting as filler for the Rift "lobby". You can search for and pick among thousands of Pawns in the Rift, of many Vocations, levels and setups.

2. Generally if your Pawns lose all the HP they become unconscious and you have certain time to "Help" them...buuut there are enemies that can kill your party members permanently, or even turn them against you!
Ghastly enemies for instance have this life draining possession attack that ends up literally dragging their victim to underworld if you will allow it to kill a Pawn. Make sure you free possessed Pawns or you will lose them.

Not sure if it's the same as back in the day but if it is then another good thing to do is add a few people that play to recruit a friends pawn for free. been so long since I last played I might have to get back into this as I didn't do the dlc on console xD
