OMG Splintered Reef... How do I even?

[Justin_760]

What is the deal with this place. Fampyr's with 100+ defense stats, Risen swashbucklers and champions that are mopping the floor with my tanks who have been dominating in the entire game until now.

And its not just a normal mob of these things, I'm going up against anywhere from 8 to TWENTY at a time. The biggest battle was against nearly 20 of these things.

It feels unreasonably difficult compared to literally any other area in the game. Im at level 15, and these guys are the same level as me too so I dont get it. Any tips?

turn back there after a couple of levels, i'm doing the same with beast of winter, the first encounter absolutely wipe my party, i'm playing on veteran, lvl 14.

Does anyone have an effective magic, scroll or potion suggestion against a fampry?

Food immunity to int afflictions.

There's a chanters chant called defense from fampyr gaze or something, it's useful.

You can do all of splintered Reef without fighting anybody or just fighting the last encounter too.

I found it at an low level. I am Lev 19 and I need the last black log but I can not seem to be able to find it again. I think it is on the upper left edge of the map I think but I need a little help in finding it again

It's in the south east on the map.

Tips for this encounter:
1. Shark soups, for immunity against intellect afflictions.
2. Accept Copperhead help to weed out the enemy.

3..... I have to admit the enemy on the bridge before entering the crypt is far harder than the Boss themselves.

4. My strategy included:

a) summoner.
b) dichotomous souls (MONK Only)
c) spam hentai tentacles spells.
d) spam wall of force (they somehow won't walk past through it).

The fampyr will knocked you down, you must get up fast and spam summon to get them busy and trim them down.

I got to admit, of all encounter in PoE2 -- THIS one in particular require luck rather than game knowledge.

I mean, I took down Beast of Winter easier than this POS fampyr.

I've done this encounter about 3 or 4 times, and it's so insignificant I barely even remember them. Pretty sure I just meteor stormed and was done with it. Or just did the same thing I do every encounter and didn't need to change anything up. In any case I don't remember it being hard at all (though I did this at level 16+ every time too)

I want your build or your pre-buffs tips.

Because I have Xoti Monk/Priest, have Storm of Holy Fire, also have plenty of Meteor Shower scroll. It hurts the Fampyr but not nearly enough to halved their HP.

The fampyr pirate area, is a end game encounter, and really should be attempted when you're closer to level 20 imo.

[Ping Crosby]

There is a ring called harmony that makes you and someone else immune to charm/dominated. Also a Palading with Agis of Loyalty can be useful here as there are so many vampires. Another thing you can do is have someone on your side who can charm charm them back, or use the buckler that makes you immune or reflect gaze attacks.

I find wall of many colours to be of tremendous help in this fight, as is setting traps around where you start so that wehne the vampirs jump in the hopefully set them off.

Have everyone else have at least 1 figurine too there are so many things attacking you you really need more bodies out on the field. If you summon them in front of your front line you drop area effects on the undead as they swarm your summons.

Lastly bring the correct potions, and eat/rest somewhere good. I find Konstantin's massage great as it makes you fast and gives a high chance to reflect spells

[Entaris]

1. Have Priest

B:: Be Lv 16+
Third: Dismissal

Enjoy

Using an evoker wizard with the middle salve spell and meteor storm destroys everything. I don't even need to bother with the rest of my team. This is on veteran btw, not path of the damned. I have not beat the game on potd, I'm not a fan of the damage sponge (essentially boss enemies way higher level than the encounter) added to encounters. So on potd I might need to rethink strategies besides "kill them all".
