Mordus fight

[Sabi The Worst Player Ever]

Okay, how to deal with this guy?

And no, focusing solely on him is not an option - his buddies wipe out my party in meantime. Best I could do was stripping him of physical armor and like 200 hp but he regenerated armor back anyway. Somehow.

Party wizards have hard time anyway, since boss teleports there ight away but overall everybody have their armor/magic armor stripped down completely before they can even act. One could expect 150 value of each as okay. Its not. Natrually enemies have much more.

First DivOS was fun to play. In second one, I only curse and get pissed off during playing. Worst money spent in last days of 2017, truly. Was pumping difficulty up like 3-4 times was Larian idea of "fun"?

if you have no chance against him leave that for the very last thing you do! In that area.
Very very last. If you can clean out the whole cave then you can fight Mordus.
Also make sure your guys aren't that weak to poison.

He is easy to stun freeze, etc.

That fight is pretty hard. The way I've beaten him is by letting him to transform by killing one of his allies, then finishing them off and stunlocking Mordus. I found it much easier than trying to keep both his allies and your allies alive to not let him to transform.

[Sabi The Worst Player Ever]

Oh and if I try to actually fight his buddies instead, they focus on one of party members, kill him/her, Mordus absorb source, transform into some insane beast.

English transation, please.

Yes, that 500 magic armor is SO EASY TO STRIP OFF, RIGHT?

[Gregorovitch]

A popular way to beat him is to abandon the Queensbury Rules and



Leave you party back on the ship deck where you enter the area. Send one forward and teleport him into the middle of your main damage dealers on the deck. Strip his armour and knock him down. Kill him next turn if ytou can't manage it turn 1. You can also arrange a load of barrels to create barriers that hamper his adds from coming to his aid.

Some consider this cheese. I consider it common sense.

the translation is if you haven't finished all the areas in that Cave then you have no business trying to fight Mordus. Did you finish everything even the area with all the Vampire Voidwoken?

Concentrate on stripping his magic armor after he transforms and yes he isn't that hard....He stuns, freezes, burns, very easy.

[Sabi The Worst Player Ever]

Again, two party members die while trying to kill the adds, leaving Mrodus to do his things around. This is insane.

Of course.

Yes, very easy fight - he simply teleport to one of characters with full hp/armor/magic armor after transformation, strike three times and kills her/him on the spot. VERY EASY FIGHT INDEED.

Do we even play the same game?

That fight is pretty hard

Thats not enough to say. That fight is INSANE. How the people even do it on tactical? From what I see, its impossible to do.

The whole concept of armor/magical armor is a cruel joke - my own party members lose it within single turn, it only prevent me from applying any kind of CC when its needed, since stripping down those values require some heavy load of damage.

[Papa Crust]

If you are really struggling with this fight, then I recommend skipping it for now and trying to do/finding some other quests and getting a level or two. In this game even having a 1 level advantage is enough to turn the fight other way around.

Another recommendation is that the game expects you to cheese your enemies. Think of every battle as a puzzle which you can solve multiple ways including the non-standart ones. Utilize your enviroment and look for ways to gain advantage over your enemies.

I did it on Tactician the way I described above. I did it that way becasue the game was telling me after I tried it straight "Look mate, you haven't got a chance against this lot". So I looked for another way to do it.

If you're having trouble, just do what I suggested. It's really not hard that way. And as Moist Bones says, this game expects you to "cheese" fights like this. To use every trick in the book to defeat overpoweringly powerfull enemies. That's why it gives you access to all these tgricks.

[Nibbie]

Are you the same level or higher than him? Is all of your gear no more than 1-2 levels below you? If you are having this much trouble with him it sounds like you are too weak to try him without a much better strategy.

[rn_archl0rd]

You can sneak one guy along the top ledge (not the board area) to the other end and use the pyramids to teleport the rest over. Then teleport him close to your melee guys. Should be able to put him down before he can transform. Only one or two of the others may get to you by then.

That's how I did it on Tactical. As long as you've been down in the caves below, you've got a waypoint to make it easy to return to the fight. The group was completely ripping me to shreds before that. It wasn't at all easy at +1 level but I managed.

[Hollow Erto]

If you still have some charges left in your purging wand from Fort Joy, then there is a very easy way to manage this boss. You need to send one hero from your party to talk to him, and while the dialog panel is open, you switch to second hero, give him teleport gloves, or just simply make sure he has teleport learned and teleport Mordus to the wooden room, through which you came into this last area of the cave. He will be stuck in a dialog, and because of that, teleport won't damage him, and fight won't be triggered, until you finish the dialog. That way you get him far enough from his allies. But for this to work, you need to extract source from two corpses lying in that room, or Mordus will simply turn into the beast right after you begin the fight. If you do not have purging wand, then you can try to experiment with this strategy and try to teleport him to another place, but I was unable to kill him fast enough in any place besides that certain room. Hope that helped.

And yeah, I feel ya dude, I feel like the part where you get to the Driftwood for the first time is badly designed, since at that point almost every single mob around you appears undefeatable, or IS undefeatable. But if you manage to kill Mordus and get yourself a way to infinitely replenish Source on the battlefield, you'll get your hands on pretty strong abilities, and those will help you advance and you won't get stuck again, at least not as much as here.

[Yria]
