Gollem Fight 5th floor

[JC]

Any one have a vid of beating it on nightmare with the priestess.. I did it the first time i played the other day and wanted to retry it.. For the life of me i can't do it again. I've tried tanking the golems, taking them out first, taking out one.. I dunno if the dice are friggin cursed or the game is laughing at me saying.. Ohh you made it through with just one person on the ground the first time.. well not again!.

I just loaded an old save and had a quick blast through it.

Far from the cleanest run ever, with lots of swingy RNG misses, parries and dodges for both sides as tends to happen early on in the game:

This is a video of what I think is a Gzor's Nightmare playthrough with priestess made by a streamer called Methfu:

Thanks man, I'm gonna try it one more time before i watch. I swear i ran through it the first time i played and made it to the end of the fight and even looted the chest.. I didn't bother to save and just loaded the restart fight and since then spent 2 nights in a row loosing the fight. Last night i spent 5 hours.. I'm tempted to load a new seed but i just wanna beat the damn thing..

New Idea for an opening.. Use the rangers Double damage hit and add the thief's bonus to him.

The second vid is really old, balance has changed a lot. Either that or some how he got great weapons, I'm doing like half his damage. My party is only lvl 3 at this point. I dunno what i could have missed because i've been keeping watch out for the side quests and i think i grabbed um all.

Cool. Good luck!

well one thing i noticed is you are higher level than me. Did you go down to the basement and spider level and do stuff down there already because only 2 of my crew was lvl 4 and you seamed to have better weapons. There is nothing for me to buy so i figured i'd lvl up a bit more. I dunno why else i could be so much lower as my fights have been pretty solid, no one KO'd and such.

I've been to the basement at that point, because you have to. I haven't been to the caves on that save file, no.

I did the side quests on the tavern floor that are available before that point.

I did everything but go to the caves. Though i did take the case of wine which must mean less XP then, but that seams rather drastic to have that big of difference in lvl at this point in the game. Does mel give you like 1k+ XP or something, because even after doing the rat fight and the first spider fight i'm still at lvl 3 on all but the ranger, priestess and now ogre finally lvl'd

I normally do all the caves content before taking on floor 4. That is to say, both Stalker fights, and both spider fights. That final fight is a killer.

I went back and did the quest, apparently you get 480 XP. I'll see where i am at when i get back. It's not a big deal as i love those fight goblin fights a lot so replying them is fun!

So i got that extra XP, but it still didn't put me to lvl 4 on my team. I'm pretty sure i did every quest i could find but was still a few hundred short on half the team, everyone dinged it at after the battle.

I don't know why i missed on that much XP as i did not have a single person get KO'd in any fight.. Maybe i needed to drag fights out a bit more for that extra few hundred XP? All i can say is I had a very hard time with half the team at lvl 3. It took me 8 hours the other night and countless trys. I think it's come down to the main Key on this fight on the highest lvl, is forget about the other stats and just add courage to get them all moving first. But still those golems are a PIA for sure and those bloody snipers hit my spell casters all the time, hiding them behind that wall on the left seams like the only sure fire way to keep them safe. Even behind cover it seamed like they were constantly being hit.

The level of difficulty for this fight verse epic is about as large of a difference as i've seen so far.
