How do you kill Cursed Revenants?

[Poljanan]

For some luck, I managed to kill the first two in the Lizard Consulate in Arx. But the next three just keeps spawning infinitely. I've tried blessing the whole room to get rid of necrofire, but the damn things just wont die. Are they bugged or something?

THE BEST solution is to get a couple of the paladins outside of the gates in on the battle. Start a fight with the revenant and then walk out the door so it follows you. This should aggro the paladins outside if they are close enough. They will attack and kill the revenant. I guess paladins are just so holyer than thou that they know how to kill a respawning, cursed, necrolizard.. once the paladins aggro, RUN AWAY and leave the battle. I watched the paladins kill them from offscreen using the arrow keys and they didn’t respawn.

I managed to get the paladins to aggro and kill 2 of the revenants. Neither respawned even with necrofire all around. I decided to tornado the final room’s necrofire, and bless the last revenant before killing it and he stayed dead.

You can use source vampirism on corpses, not just spirits to replenish your source. You might not even need to leave the consulate depending on how you clear the fire with bless and other things like tornado, pressure spike, or vaporize. Also, if you kill the puppets you get source consumables. Mainly, you need to clear the fire, that's why they come back.

When you walk into the paladin village there are tons of bodies you can use source vampirism on too.

Teleporting the Revenants out into the public square worked well for me on the first two (to the left). Going after the three on the right was simplified by carefully Blessing ALL necrofire BEFORE starting the fight. There are plenty of places to draw Source in the area. Be alert for a few small patches that will spring up during the fight; ANY necrofire ANYWHERE will allow these annoying (though not especially dangerous) foes to respawn.

[Guess who?!!?]

The above methods did not work for us.....So we lured them outside where they made normal fire and not cursed fire surfaces and then it was pretty simple.

I had 5 teleportation scrolls. Everytime one died i teleported the spirit up on the ledge where no fire was available, and they died off. Took a few minutes.

Did this fight on Classic yesterday. The first two took a while because I was slow to understand what was happening. But once you get it, it's not that bad. I think I killed the next three in about 5 turns of work.

As enemies, they're not tough at all. They can be CC'ed and dropped to zero health pretty easy. It's the respawning that is a pain to deal with.

Bless is the key here, so make sure your whole part is full of Source. A couple Source Orbs help (I had 9 but ended up using none).

So we know they respawn from the Necrofire and nothing else. Okay, let's work with that.

First, Bless is huge here to remove the surfaces from the rooms they're in. When they turn invulnerable for a single turn, to respawn, they will float a long way across a floor (and down stairs) to find Necrofire. But if the nearest Necrofire is blocked, they die after that turn. If they can't find any Necrofire, they die.

You can block doorways with objects or even a level 10 Summons (because they're phat like that).

Use oil flasks (or any big Oil spell or Scroll) to get Necrofires to join up, then Bless it, and cast Rain or use Rain scrolls to put out the remaining fire. The Revenants WILL shoot cursed flame arrows at you and turn any existing flaming surfaces into Necrofire, so you want to use the Rain spells to clear the area after you've Blessed it. You'll probably have to cast Bless 4-5 times in the first open room (and it's connected area upstairs) before you get it all.

The second room, behind the locked door, can be cleared in 2-3 Bless casts depending on how well you can get all the Oil connected. When you first get that door open, just have one character inch their way barely inside the room, throw some oil, and Bless. You'll get a lot of sources eliminated before that second fight even starts.

Don't forget to Bless the flaming giant doors at the entryway.

So in short: Oil to join Cursed Surfaces, Bless to turn it to regular Fire, Rain to put it out, and keep the Revenants CC'd so they can't shoot their cursed fire arrows.

Tap the skellies until their low-ish health. Connect all the fire, bless it, kill skeletons. You can bait them around to shoot you with fire arrows to help connect the fire if you want. The goal is mostly to get rid of necro fire. Regular fire is fine, they'll still die, but they rez inside necro fire specifically. CC locking will help you in that fight, so that you can avoid the revs from flipping the fire back to necro instead of regular fire.

Assassinate was able to kill them when they were lower health. A totem spawned in blessed steam also killed one without it turning into an ego.

[Equalizour]

easy just bless them a few time then they cant respawn.

[Grifta]

if you kill them with ice magic/arrows while they are not standing in fire they wont respawn

You can, but there is a very limited amount of bodies and enemies to drain source from.

limited ? there are douzens of dead people near the gates XD

[Śākyamuni]

There are windows that give you line of sight into the castle without aggroing the revenants. You can teleport in, bless a lot of the necrofire before you start, then getting the remaining bits and bobs during the battle, CCing the revs if pos so they don't start firing cursed arrows about. Not that difficult once it clicks how you do it.

If you have Thief high enough, you can simply lock pick the door required to progress. Just make a character with multiple mobility skills and completely skip the battle. The EXP is ♥♥♥♥ anyways.

I've found that cursed steam works

I discovered it by accident, freeze the necrofire and it should create cursed steam

I guess. Considering how scarce Source is in Arx, I'm not gonna waste them blessing patches of necrofire. It's just so tedious.

Not sure what you mean, There is a never ending source fountain in arx where you can fill your source for free.
