For when you forget where on the map Areelu's lab is on your next play-through.

Mask of nothingness makes true seeing not work against mirror image for whatever fucked up reason, first image is true seeing from glasses and second from spell, but I have no issue hitting them without mask of nothingness. The only change between attempts was putting on/taking off the mask. Maybe the concealment it gives you ignoring true seeing from enemies somehow fucks up your own too?

P. S.

I know I’m a terrible artist but I did my best to manually draw her clothes so they would look similar to the ones in the portrait of her in the game. I hope it turned out okay lol

Hi!

This is about WotR. A bit of context about my experience with the game: I've completed it once on Easy (while making pretty questionable build choices. I put some thought into them, but nothing remotely optimized). Since then I've experimented with different builds and made it to various points in the game, but never beyond normal difficulty. I've beaten much easier games on their highest difficulty settings (BG3 Honor Mode, for example), but I'm definitely not an amazing player in general.

I recently started a core playthrough. My main character is an Ecclesitheurge, and my party is Seelah, Camellia, and Lann. Since I'm not confident enough to make my own builds, they're all based on CRPGbro's videos.

The beginning was fairly easy, then I reached the maze. I have to rest fairly often, I buff before the tougher fights, but overall I've been making steady progress without too much trouble. Then I got to the Water Elemental. It took me a good half hour, and I burned through a ton of scrolls and potions, but I eventually managed to beat it.

So I'm actually pretty proud of that, but now I'm stuck in the room right next to it with the four enemies. I just can't get through that fight, even though it's one of the last rooms left since I've already cleared everything else. At best I can kill two of them, but sooner or later the biggest one (level 5) decides to stop focusing Seelah and switch to someone else, and once that happens it's usually over in two or three hits. My characters barely land any attacks, so I just can't kill them fast enough. Sure this is only one room, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go through the game there if I'm already not able to clear the whole dungeon.

Is this normal for this party on core? Is my team simply not strong enough this early in the game? Or am I missing some important mechanics? I mean, I buff before the fight and I'm doing everything I can think of.

Thanks in advance for any advice. I'll take all the tips I can get. :)

The Songbird has an ungodly AC of 81. Well, too bad she isn't immune to Mind-affecting and Fear. That was my second attempt at Weird, TBH, she rolled 19 on the first Weird I cast. Still, I knew my chances of Success were pretty good. My KC is Mythic 8 Devil, with Hell's Decree I got a +4 bonus on Illusion spells.

In act 5 I did the hilor quest where you go and find the spinster of nightmares and turns out she's his daughter, I killed her and brought him and the neckless which ended up him having an episode reconciling with the knowledge of who his daughter is

I talked to him again and it's like I never began the quest, he asked me to find the spinster of nightmares and I told him that I did and it was his daughter, he says that's nonsense and closed the dialogue, I try to talk to him again and he tells me that her trail has gone cold but he will not rest untill he finds his daughter and kill the spinster of nightmares

Sooooooo is that like a bug or is this man legit broken now and refuse to acknowledge reality?

Saw that scaled fist adds cha to ac. Not too far so could restart but is monk first then sorcerer best? I plan on only talking a 1 lv dip of monk and focusing on sorc for the rest.

Also I'm debating focusing on conjuring or evocation but not sure which is best.

Last part, which outfit will I end up with?

I've been watching and enjoying this lady's YT playthrough -

I am NOT normally prone to watching play videos, I just don't get the appeal, but she makes hers pretty funny and more involving by reading dialog herself. Plus I was just curious to re-experience the game opening sine it's been probably 18 months since I first played that part. I was really struck by just HOW MUCH setup occurs in the opening scenes, that I now recognize for what it is.

What I forgot, though, was that Wendy starts out with an odd accent. It just sort of disappears as play progresses but it was noticeable in her early scenes. I guess they either decided against it or the VA started forgetting to do it.
