The tutorial is Impossible.

The last fight in the temple is complete ass because you cant heal and Its completely (broken) chance based at major disadvantage. Seriously. ♥♥♥♥ the temple of trials.

[ZumZoom]

Git gud.
Serisously though, it's not that hard, just a bit annoying with save-scumming.

[Hopper]

Shouldn't have to save scum in a tutorial...

Fighting him is always a bad idea, you get way less XP and a little bad luck will get you killed. You'll get twice as much XP if you talk him out of fighting(needs Speech tagged), or just steal his key.

But if you really want to fight him, you should position yourself next to the fire in the middle of the room and then click him. He'll waste his turn running towards you, and if you have good perception, you should get double turns to pummel him.

I've killed him a few times and got away with it, but you need a total brute of a character.

Just Talk him out or Steal the key, dont throw your head at a wall cuz it there

You can heal actually, simply press 5 or 6 to heal yourself, if you need more healing items take healing powder. If the Perception reduction bothers you, you can instead use the Healing Powder to steal the key from Cameron, in the process skipping the fight without even talking to him. You dont need to save scum but you can succeed even better while doing that.

Nah, Fallout 2 is more Instant Crit death out of nowhere than save scum tactics in the veins of Darkest Dungeon.
Simply put, have better RNG :)

You can run through the entire temple and pickpocket the key. No fighting required.

Most of my characters are Small Arms build. I go in with Low STR but High Agility. So i just attack once then run away. takes forever too high miss rate but works.

OG Fallout is an RPG, so it's a bit amusing people always think they have to fight everything.

[Revolucas]

kite him; ie. hit and run.

[psychotron666]

I've done the temple with basically every build, including a build that had no combat skulls whatsoever. You just need to git gud

[Zaphnath Paaneah]

Welcome to the Wasteland........

[Cuendillar]

If you can't take him face to face, talk him down. If you can't talk him down, steal the key. If you can't steal the key, hit and run. Hit and run will always work eventually.
You can tag a 4th skill later on so if you are having a really tough time tag unarmed. Will help with boxing in Reno anyway.

Tutorial working as intended to me.... it is LITERALLY showing you that there are multiple ways to reach a goal
