Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Any advice for the prison after stormfist?

Any advice for the prison after stormfist? You know, when Janus's advisor lady transports you there. I can kill a lich easily with the steel scorpian/aura of command combo. However, when they use their electricity zap attack, I die after 2 hits. My character is kind of a mage/theif, so I can take them head on. However I have 2 skills saved up, and I'm on level 16. Are there any spells that can own these liches?


My character's stats:

Strength: 32

Agility: 37

Wisdom: 40

Viatality: 22 (I know its really low <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> )

I have a strong bow, but when like 3 liches are chasing after me, I can't get time to shoot them. All I can pretty much do is run circles around them, hope them don't hit me, and let my scorpian do the work......

please help <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />

Thanks in advance

hell spikes as high as possible.


Try coming back later, just force your way to the the end of level 1 and return when you are a higher level.

Level 16 is very early for Stormfist.
And playing a Mage/Thief dosn`t make the things easyer.
Do you have a Savegame before you enter the Castle?
Maybe it will be easyer if you first solve some more Quest and level your Char up.

never bend over when your alone in the shower, even if you've dropped the soap!....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

If you can not reload a save before entering the castle, or do not want to, there are health and mana shrines which refill themselves, so you can keep running back to them.

If you have enough scorpions, you can run into a group, release one and run away. If you do not cast Aura of Command, you can let it wander around killing things while you wait a safe distance away.

Otherwise, you can simply run for the exit (to the far west). If you have any shadow potions or statuettes, they can help (if you washed the dishes in the castle, the cook would have given you a shadow potion).

Help! Can't find Gyrion... Iona's dungeon maps (Spoilers)



BTW, you need your avatar on a web site for others to be able to see it;
free web host with hotlinking? (for avatars) - some information may be out of date, as web hosts can change their policies or practices

When your vitality is low (blood is low) and you have a statuette use it by clicking at it twice (DON'T double-click), this way you can regenerate yourself.

are there any other spells like hell spikes that you can get later in the game thats good?

cool I just got a helm that has 350 armor rating at the beginning of the 3rd lvl

The lower levels of Iona's dungeon are optional; the exit is on the first level. As long as you are already doing the third level, though, once you get to the end of it, there will be a cave with (among other things) a shortcut back up to the first level.

Is there any boss I need to fight at the end? Also, do you know where I can find a map of the first lvl to find the exit?

There is a boss at the end, though he isn't really much tougher than the other strong opponents you've been encountering (I have not tried this dungeon a low level, though).

My first post in this topic contains a link with maps of Iona's dungeon, or you can check here: level 1, starting cell and level 2/3/4.

Do you recomend I continue or leave? Also in the first lvl there is a holy sword "says so on the map", is that a strong sword?

Maybe this is helpfull. But i think it will be better if you leave and come back later.

All Weapons/Armament statistics will be create randomly if you go first time with your mouse over the Weapon/Armament.
So the Sword can be good, and it can be bad.
The best is, to save before you get on the Weapon, and if it will be bad, load again.

Actually, the holy sword is not usable right away. It is part of a set of 3 holy items which must be brought together, as the mouse-over text describes. You get this quest from a book in the basement of the cursed abbey. The holy sword is potentially one of the most powerful one handed swords in the game. As a mage, there may be a better option, though. <span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'>You must sacrifice 2 of the holy items to gain one usable item, either a sword, dagger or amulet. There is another powerful one handed sword to be found in the final area of the game, so the amulet can be a good choice even for a warrior.</span> (highlight the text to read)

If you are not having trouble so far, you can continue clearing the third level, if you wish. If you are tired of hack-and-slash and want to continue the main quest, or others, then you can leave and optionally return later.

Where do I get the other 2 holy artifacts? Also, when do I get my teleporter pyramid back from the imp dude?

One of the holy items is in Verdistis, the other in the Dark Forest.
Gathering the Holy Items and the Sacrifice

When you exit Iona's dungeon, Arhu the cat will approach you and give you a quest to rescue Zandalor. Do so (<span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'>Rivertown sewers treasure room entrance</span>) and let him teleport you somewhere, then clear that smallish area to find the imp who 'borrowed' your teleporter stones.

level 16 is a low level to go into Stormfist castle. i guess the only thing you can do is fight your way through the massive amount of enemies.
