Trial for all Seasons - Tactician

[Kharn Terrer]

I did this quest on Classic and it was really easy to activate all 4, I am trying on Tactician and I cant get all 4 to light. They vanish practically instantly, the only one that stays lit is the Spring one cause the bloods on the ground.
Anyone have any insight on this? Remember this is Tactician not lower difficulties. I've sat for 25 minutes now trying to do this but they vanish so fast and even if you talk to them they dont stay lit.

Difficulty doesn't affect the duration of the effects, though the spell used might. If I remember, you want to use fast animation spells like winter blast for ice, Dazing bolt for lightning cloud and fire ray is mandatory pretty much. There's a vaporise spell that might work well if you make necrofire as the fire will be present after casting and the spell might be faster to cast.

You just have to be fast honestly.

Did it few hours ago on Tactician. For autumn I used rain and then fire to create a steam cloud, then I crafted fire ray scroll. After that I placed bolt arrow, fire ray scroll and some kind of ice spell on my archer hotbar and just used it in quick succesion and that's it.

Ditto. It is difficult and extreme speed is the key. Learn which season activator is fastest and cast that first and work down to the slowest. I did it recently by using a character with a completely empty inventory so that there would be no delay in picking the right activating agent to use next. It's also a reasonably tough fight on tactician so make sure you are really well prepared with you whole party.

Hey guys, so thanks for the replies. I managed it in the end but for a while it had me really stumped. The reason I were having so many issues is because I were playing lonewolf and all the spells all came from the same character meaning I was stuck casting 4 spells (Ice spell/Fireball/vaporise and Thundercloud arrow one after another by the time I cast them all the first one had vanished.
Also the fight was hard but not as hard as activating it lol so irritating. I dont remember that being so hard on classic.

I do this, except I do two arrows - ice plus the steamcloud arrow. I can do it first try almost every time now.

Blood rain on the first tree doesn't time out, so I do that then save, then shoot the two arrows, then use laser ray on the last.
