The Parasitic Shade is pretty tough for this stage of the game; you might want to build up some levels and come back once you have Vlish or something. By chapter 2, Fyoras don't really cut it any more. (Also, before you fight the shade you should run around in combat mode and turn off *all* the power spirals in the room. Try to avoid letting it see you while you do this.) [ Sunday, February 11, 2007 16:11: Message edited by: Cryptozoology ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Do the power spirals starting with the northwest one and go clockwise so the shade doesn't see you until the end. Use speed spores for your party with war blessing and you might have a chance. Wrack will speed the combat and use spray crystals when the parasitic shade's friends show up. The hard part is he keeps slowing you down and will probably kill a fyora a round. If you don't mind losing them then it is possible. If you have the essence, then create some new ones to sacrifice in place of the older ones and keep the old ones in the distance. Unlock - canister - Dillame Fields - training in Rivergate Keep and Illya Safehouse (prices lower after doing quests in either place) [ Sunday, February 11, 2007 18:54: Message edited by: Randomizer ] Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

By the way, is it my idea or it's impossible to "shape" or "lifecraft" a creation in combat mode? -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire. Posts: 292 | Registered: Sunday, November 23 2003 08:00 |

You can't make a creation in combat. You can make a creation right before a fight, though. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

I guess it's because the lifecrafter needs a lot of concentration, even though it takes just 2 seconds :P -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire. Posts: 292 | Registered: Sunday, November 23 2003 08:00 |

Well really it's because there isn't a button for it during combat mode! The enemies don't seem to have any trouble making creations during combat. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

At that point in the game fyoras really don't cut it. Keep your strongest one and make 2 cryoras and a thad for a meatsheild. -------------------- "640K ought to be enough for anybody." -- Bill Gates, 1981 The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead.

Using cryoas on a shade is a bad idea. They're immune to cold, and biting isn't as effective. Roamers work fairly well, though. —Alorael, who thinks that's advice to keep in mind. Whatever you're fighting, it will probably die faster if you throw acid at it. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Cryoas from the beginning of the game are effective especially when blessed. Fyoras are basically to suck up damage in Sandros Mine. Artila are cheap and effective. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The trick to it is to not stand in LOS (Line of sight)of the shade when your turn ends. Basically you can run right up to a hostile creature, run around it a few times, and still not aggro it as long as you're not in it's LOS when your turn ends. Using speed, as mentioned in one of the other replies, makes this easier, (espicially later in the game) but iirc it isn't needed for this part since you dont have to move very far. -------------------- If you believe in yourself, drink your school, stay in drugs, and don't do milk - you can get work!
