Spoilers ahead, I guess. I'm having a few issues with the Dorikas fight. I have a singleton, and I've been having pretty easy going up to here, but I just can't kill him - literally. The one time I've almost killed him (beat both the drakes and demons that he summoned), he bugged out when he was about to die - his health wouldn't go down no matter how much damage I did, and all he did was terrify me every turn he got. Every other fight, I can't even get that far, because after he summons the ice drakes, he switches his baton from damage to fear, and my singleton does not resist the fear very often - I've spent upwards of several minutes watching my character run around, as Dorikas attacks me doing no damage. Is the bugging out at 1 hp a known phenomenon? If so, what can I do about it? Also, what do I do about this terror thing? Before, terror/freezing hasn't been a big deal - my character isn't often frozen/terrified/charmed, probably due to fairly good resists and high level, and the few times it has happened, my character is so close to invulnerable that it doesn't matter. Are there spells I could learn that make me less vulnerable? Scrolls? Potions? All help is appreciated. Posts: 2 | Registered: Friday, January 13 2006 08:00 |

You're not supposed to kill him. You just have to beat him up until he runs away. If you have a Mindshield scroll, you might want to use that to protect yourself from mental attacks. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Mindshield scroll did the trick, thanks. It was a bit difficult to get, as I had none in my inventory or in any of my caches. Luckily, the merchant in Ft. Emerald had one. Thanks for the tip. Posts: 2 | Registered: Friday, January 13 2006 08:00 |

I've become confused with Dorikas too. I had no trouble with this fight, but I never saw him again. Was I supposed to? I ask because in my endgame text I swear it said that I killed him. (Though I was admittedly falling asleep after finally finishing the game, so maybe I'm just wrong.) -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.

I think someone else pointed out that error in the endgame text, too, so I don't think you were wrong. Admittedly, everything I know about the game comes from these forums because I don't have the game yet. Dikiyoba will hopefully not have to deal with these sorts of errors by the time the Windows versions come out. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Groan... I remember that I tried to tell Jeff about that problem, as well as a misspelling of Rentar-Ihrno in the endgame text. I see that it wasn't fixed. On a tangential note, I seem to remember Dorikas being in a previous Avernum game somewhere... anybody know where? -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

No it doesn't say you killed him. It simply states that he jumps into the portal vowing to be back. -------------------- The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

I meant in the final, final screens of text you see after you beat the game. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. Posts: 4130 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00 |

I just finished several minutes prior. King Starruus says "And I hear you were able to slay their leader?" Perhaps the question mark means something. -------------------- The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

I'm pretty sure it was just a typo... -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. Posts: 4130 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00 |

It's fairly common to use questioning intonation when relating the details of information somebody has given you back to them. (Mind you, I say that as a native-born citizen of the country which invented questioning intonation. :P ) [ Monday, January 16, 2006 22:40: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

A4 dialogs do that a lot, and it drives me nuts. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |
