Capture Tartuccio alive

[Marcos_DS]

Greetings, i retried the Tartuccio fight in the Mines below Old Sycamore multiple times, but he always seems to die. How can i capture him alive ?

[Zorpen]

You can’t.

Ok i saw later he was raised anyway, just was confused because the quest was to capture or kill him (preferably capture) so i wondered if there was a way. But i quess due to cutscene one couldn't capture...

This has to be one of the dumbest things ever. Literally it says dead or alive.. Can't pick up the body? Lol.

I played Red Dead Online, I know how taking bounties works! No bounty, no pay!

Sure, let's just leave the corpse lying in the dirt. No possible way he could be resurrected in the Pathfinder universe.

Should have desecrated the corpse and burned that little gnome to ash. Or put him in a sack and carry him to trading post. either way. Maybe just take the head and burn the rest? (I woulda made a great pathfinder)

Technically, it's not like burning the body to ashes would stop a high-enough level caster from resurrecting someone. In fact, the original purpose of having a Resurrection spell in addition to Raise Dead was to raise someone whose body had been destroyed to ashes or otherwise rendered unhealable...

It's more for making it apparent what happened, since if you burned his corpse to ash, you wouldn't be able to easily tell the ashes were Tartuccio's.

That said, the bigger question is why Tartuccio doesn't change shape back into a gnome at any point... He's literally never a gnome again even while living with the kobolds for an extended period of time (potentially several weeks). In the original AP, there was no Tartuccio, it was always Tartuk, kobold shaman who stirs up trouble because he's eeevil. Tartuccio is a whole new backstory just for the PC game, but he still winds up spending more time as kobold than as gnome, to the point it makes me wonder if gnome was the disguise all along...

Because when LK reincarnated him, he made him a full kobold called Tartuk, who only had vague memories of a gnome called Tartuccio until you jogged them, which caused the Tartuccio personality to surface and they shared a body for a time before it faded and Tartuk became the full personality (he even mentions later he likes being Tartuk much more than being Tartuccio as the kobolds all genuinely respect and revere him, where as he's a nobody as Tartuccio).

You just used two pronouns in that comment.
