Getting mad at Mad Ambition

Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Tuesday, September 13 2005 16:50 Profile #0 OK, I give...I'm at one of those rare moments in Mad Ambition where I actually get to fight and direct my own actions...the fight with the replicant of my dead sister. I figured out the puzzle aspect all right eventually, even though with four nephil priest/mages continually healing her every turn, I had to find ways to take them out in order for her to actually die. Here is the problem though. My PC#1 is just a fighter with no magic. Right off the bat, someone casts Curse on my fighter and he simply can't hit a thing. I have gone through MANY rounds of combat keeping him alive with healing potions and using up two wands to take out four priest/mages, but can't actually hit anything to progress any further in this fight. I'm typically boxed in and can't even go anywhere. What am I missing here...anything? Or is it just an example of faulty design: a situation in which a fighter cannot possibly win the battle. There is no way I can uncurse myself. I was rather enjoying the weirdness utnil this point. -------------------- A4 Items • A4 Singleton • G4 Items • G4 Forging • G4 Infiltrator • NR Items • The Lonely Celt Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00

Point #1: Notice how Chika drains statuses from you. Point #2: Notice how many Poison Potions have been dropped by the enemies. I hope you get it. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Tuesday, September 13 2005 19:48 Profile #2 I already figured out how to kill Chika...that wasn't the problem. It was being unable to kill the rest of the horde after her. However, I tried again, and somehow didn't wind up cursed this time and was able to whittle them down. Now I'm stuck on the next battle in the pit with the suit of armor with the insane hit points. I had to take nearly 100 damage just to get into the pit to flip the lever to the right. Now the suit is laying waste to me. I don't have the brute capacity as a fighter at level 17 to beat this guy. I can't keep up with the damage he inflicts and healing myself with potions. I miss most of the time I try to hit him . I wonder what am I missing now. It doesn't seem like it's meant to be a simple one-on-one battle which I am miraculously supposed to win, 'cuz I can't. -------------------- A4 Items • A4 Singleton • G4 Items • G4 Forging • G4 Infiltrator • NR Items • The Lonely Celt Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00

If you have a wand left with a couple of charges, it's pretty easy too. I've beaten the scenario with a no-magic fighter, so it's not as if it can't be done. If all else fails, lower the difficulty level in the Preferences. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
