Stuck at Chapter VI because of Strixes

[Zoommeeting]

I cannot continue, because all my party will die... and I cannot fight battles, because all will die because they have 3x wounds... no way I am restarting from the begining. Is there any console commands I can use to bypass this ♥♥♥♥? Christ.

There is some balance issues here and there. Especially with Thorn's plot. Balance changes incoming in the next patch (in a few days).

For now you can edit save data (at your own risk): \Steam\userdata\STEAM_ID\691690\remote\
I think Thorn's plot use

"ThornResources.Strix","Value"

Thanks for that tip FG! My concern is if the upcoming balance patch (or any other patch) might mess up the save files. I might wait until Monday to see if the patches makes things easier for me, otherwise, sadly, I'm going to cheat my way out lol

[Razqua]

You may not think this is a serious option but a big selling point of this game was that any of the characters(Excluding Rouley) can die and the game will continue on without them. So if it's too hard you can just let Thorn's party die and continue on without them.

[Razqua]

Also it appears they have already updated to make thorns path easier http://steamcommunity.com/games/691690/announcements/detail/1646502942076353327
I think you'd need to restart to get the effect of the changes though.

[Zorder]

Yeah, I might just go ahead and play my first run on my own and see how it goes from there, just like you said. I actually thought that if Thorn died or something you'd just be asked to play the battle where he dies again.

I guess that saving everyone remains a task for another time ;)

This does not apply if you dont waste your time always by helping other people.
I had in chapter four around 240 strixes.

Its quite sad to see game difficulty being nerfed already being a couple of people who refuse to actually learn the mechanics. The game is quite challenging until you learn how to fight with your squishy heroes but becomes easier and easier once you learn how to position your squad and what targets to prioritize.

I am currently at chapter 8 and my fights look something like, run Thorn or Lo in, use their defense buffs + aoe and rest destroy everything.

Thorn and Lo are like nuclear weapons. I find them to be the most devastating in addition to the archers (first strike and finish off).

The actual battles aren't what people are having trouble with. It's the fact that in the early game with thorn unless you rob people you're gonna take a ♥♥♥♥ ton of wounds just from lack Strixes. I managed to get through this on my own with 1 casualty but it absolutly should not be that harsh.

[Giopeppe]

You could cure everyone of a wound for free in one location in CH3, you could buy strixes, you could win them in fights and also, charcters with 1 wound are not automatically useless, so no problem at all.

Personally i had problems of strixes from Friga to Opacum (and you have another free heal between the two location), but i think it's PLANNED to be difficult to keep all alive.

I am not against a bit of tweaking, but if i'd like it to be easy, i would have played Story Mode.

[Razqua]

I mean I know they patched it but in my playthrough there weren't really enough strixes even if you bought all the ones available at merchants. If you're talking about double menhir in regards to the free heal then that only heals one wound on each character and much of my party was at 2 or 3 wounds at that point. Also that's the point in the game where it gets a lot easier and Strix's become much less of an issue.

It's before that point I think most people have issues with. You can get through it but it's a really rough section of the game and if you make one mistake in Strix managment you're completly ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I didn't use Strixes to the heal the party one time. I had only taken one wound in battle up until this point and I forced to kill one of my characters to progress.

So, you have problems of strixes on the way to double menhir?

Never happened (pre-patch). I think i took very different routes, probably. Anyway i think i just had 3 chars with 1 injury at that point.

Im at chapter 3,does the patch impact my game or do i have to start over,imheading to the double menhir but having trouble managing the strixes

[Reaver79]

If your having trouble with managing them, im guessing you need to start over. I cant spend them faster than i get them after the patch..
