The room with yellow molds and their area-of-effect poison attack was a nice-if-brief change of pace. The two leucrottas with their hold person spells were marginally better, if only because one of them hit one of my characters with a ray of enfeeblement. Same deal with the jackalweres with the silver/DR. Take Falrinth, the wizard on level three: yeah he has regeneration and a poisoning quasit, but he wasted his first two turns ineffectually casting stoneskin and invisibility, and then I knocked him unconscious and finished him off with a coup de grace.Įlsewhere on level three there's a lamia with high ac, mirror image and frequent castings of charm person, but my level was high enough from wiping out the first two floors that it wasn't much of a threat. Spellcasters in this game are few and far-between and those you do run into are a disappointment for the most part. I haven't mentioned any of the temple priests because they're all terrible. Finally, the juggernaut in the water temple was yet another hd/hh enemy with a lot of resistances. To get one of the best greatswords in the game I had to kill a bunch of flamebrothers and a few salamanders with a fire shield equivalent. There were two werewolves (hd, hh) who had 10/silver DR in a hidden room. The second fared a bit better: the large room full of bugbears was fun because of the numbers involved. I enjoyed an encounter with an ogre chief (high damage, high health detecting a pattern here) and a large group of gnolls with damage resistance countered by blunt weapons (apparently this was a mistake, but oh well, it'd be less interesting without it).

The first level of the temple was a giant bore for the most part. That's the power of pre-buffing (and some good rolls I guess). When it came to the ~big tower fight~ with all the men, archers, witches and wizard, I was level 4 and completed it on my first attempt with my mage being the only one to even suffer any damage. I did make a quick trip to Imeryds Run and enjoyed killing the sea hag on account of her high spell resistance and poison-on-hit damage. I spent just as much time in Nulb as I did in Hommlet. It's a bunch of boring undead punctuated by an adequate encounter with a hill giant and a brown bear who both have lots of health and hit for a lot of damage. With the moathouse cleared, I took a side trip to clear out Emridy Meadows. Even if that wasn't the case, I doubt I'd have even a fraction of the trouble he had. In my playthrough, sleep was the equivalent of an instant death spell. When I got to the fights that made skyway cry like a baby and beat them on my first attempt, I realized that one of the later co8 patches gave those enemies the ability to wake each other up. The gnolls whom you can bribe to go away are pretty tough (like an optional encounter should be) because you're fighting a bunch of them in an enclosed space and they have 19 AC, which is really high for level 2 D&D. I guess Lubash could cause problems to those who aren't prepared. I had problems with them in the past, but this time around I trounced them with the use of buffs and summons. Those tongue-grappling frogs were a great welcoming committee to the Moathouse. I should also note that when it came to character creation, Troika paid attention to at least one particular Icewind Dale criticism: your party comes equipped with class-appropriate equipment without having to purchase those items first. I'd have less of a problem if the two were switched, but that doesn't fix the stupidity of the NE plot: after entering the church in Hommlet with the intention of killing everyone inside, you either piss off the head guy and run away (or get killed in a currently unwinnable fight), or accept his quest to clear out the moathouse as a form of 'redemption.' I decided to go with the LE path and skipped all the Hommlet daisy-chain fetching nonsense, aside from the spider-killing quest and exposing the cheat to get free resting in the inn. The neutral evil and chaotic evil vignettes particularly annoy me because there's practically no difference between them: in the CE vignette you're attacking a caravan, which makes sense enough given your alignment, yet the NE vignette has your party burning down a church for no particular reason. All nine put together only add up to minutes of gameplay (I played all of them back to back) what a waste of time and resources, and what a serious case of overthinking on Troika's part.
