Need Help Badly

[The 3 Kingdoms]

ok first play thru I got rekt vs Swarms and didnt know how to beat them, till i read a random hint from a loading screen saying torches hurt them. Now roughly 12hrs later and bout 6 restarts, cuz I'm new and no not a damn thing bout Pathfinder (this game is good to me) so dont get me wrong. Hard as hell most times and I'm on Story Mode - but a damn Flaming Blue Skull killed my whole party without taken a lick of damage (I wanna know why) I threw every spell, weapon, potion at this damn thing. And nothing. And my party is full of differ classes. Is there a place I can read up on this game at all. Cuz oblivious I dont know something or the skull is way too OP for a mode called Story.

p.s. I have the $84.99 version, so i have everything.

Hard eneimes like the skull or the wererats could do with a difficulty related icon on them to indicte you are likely gonna fail at your level. Not using indicators like that just makes people waste time thinking they ought to be able to do the fight. Just let people toggle it off to satisfy the ppl that hate having any hints at all.

just a named one

It casts Shield if you hit him with magic missile, who ever considered it was a good idea to give this spell to compensate for this creature only weakness is a huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

So people need to be level 5, cast a dispel and then the magic missile? Wow xd

So is this the encounter that pops if you rest in that premade camp near the back of Old Sycamore? IIRC its a CE Abberation. so get lvl 3 or 4 can't remember which. after that Harrim can prep Arrow of Law, if it's a Will o Wisp it should get the bonus damage & not be blocked by shield. but you gotta be ready for it, this game definitely could benifit from like, alignment & creature type indicators that pop up on the enemy based on like a perception roll

that sounds like common sense

so far from what i've seen it doesn't look like the monkeys that designed this game's combat have any

like why would you put unkillable enemies on low level place where the player is? Just makes the game seem worse and the devs seem more incompetent for being unable to make challenging encounters without turning them into unwinnable bs

I've just encountered that monster for the first time. From the logs: AC 39, immune to everything you can throw at it.

But the best is that it attacks you when you sleep in the pre-made camp area with supplies (when you're chasing Tartufo for the 2nd time) and the first thing you know, your entire party is fleeing in all directions for many rounds and you just look at your PCs dying one after another.

I didn't know this game was about pissing people, else I wouldn't have bought it.

But seriously, who put that thing in that area when level 3 in sandals can reach that zone unmolested by the all the previously low but normal level random encounters?

If I had DM like that with my friends in the past, I would be friendless today :-/
