Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Last battle using a fighter...I just can't.

First of all, this is how I played the game :

DK was an archer. Basically everything in agility.

Main dude was a fighter. Everything was in strength. I put all my skills in two-handed axes (damage and accuracy are at 12).

Now for all the game, it was my DK that killed practically everything. My fighter was just used as a shield. HE ALMOST ALWAYS MISSES. WTF ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, now comes the end. The final battle. I can't touch him! I hit about once per 5 swings. Now I could manage through the game, but now I just can't. Why can't I hit if everything is in Strength and all my skills are concentrated on the ax ? I have like 200 healing potions but I still can't manage to lower the f*cker's health to even 3/4.

I read here about the hammer spell. I'd like to avoid this solution if possible.

BTW, I do have the latest patch. Any idea what I'm doing wrong ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

how much is your hero agility? and strength?

it may be that... you need some high agility as a warrior... especially with an axe and especially with Damian stats... i think...
strength agility and speed (not too low)...
try some charms if you can yet...

I thought that agility wasn't a factor using axes...no ?

Yea, my speed is low though. Strength is about 130 and speed around 30. Agility must be around 25.

your speed is good i think but your agility is very low...
agility is usefull for all weapons not only for ranged weapons (even if it is especially important for ranged weapons)...
not a strange thing you miss all hits...

well i really think you need to improve agility (i will say 2x or a bit less)...
but i can see how at this level of the game (it should have been done before)

maybe in the BF if you find charms...
well i don't see any others solves except perhaps Sky Hammer...

The only other thing that MAY help in this case, is to invest in about 230948203984029384903289 scorpion traps.... and some summoning dolls...

The DK (by default) focuses on you, while your summoning dolls can have some fun, along with the scorpion traps... the DK will unsummon some scorpion traps, but if you cast enough, they will get him down... but be warned, he will STILL focus on you, so have loads of potions ready...

If you have a save of just before you got to the end, unlearn everything in the DK's skills and invest those points on "useless in battle" skills, like identify, alchemy etc...

I also suggest that you invest some skills in critical hit... if you get a critical on the DK, he is stunned for a few moments.

another thing you can do (but i know you wouldn't like that) if anything else is pointless... (i fear it is with 25 in agility) is:

to take a more or less recent save (beginning of Act4 or just beyond) and improve agility... hmm...
sure that doesn't help... but anyway i'm a bit astonished you're gone so far (normally the "good" proportion for a warrior is Strength=2 Agility or Strength= 2.5 Agility and you're really far from that!)...

for unlearning DK skills... i don't know if it is really efficient because he has his own stats and skills in the end (well at least partially)... maybe.

The first time i got BUTCHERED by my DK, he had LOADS invested in deathblow.... which is exactly what it did to me, 1 in 5 - 10 hits he gave me, drained my health down to a sliver. I got killed, relaoded, unlearned everything.... and i had a fair chance against him, since he now only took 20% of my health with every hit, and not all of it every few hits inbetween...

Ok, I tried something. You told me that my agility should be up.

Now I have a dozen agility, strength and speed potions.

I drank'em all, giving me like :

Strength : 170
Agility : 185
Speed : 150

Still can't touch the guy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> Sh*t, I hit him like once per 4 swings.

woops sorry...

this fight is one of the harder of the game but
i'm a bit puzzled it doesn't make any difference...

making him unlearning skills may partially works... perhaps (it depens on the unlearned skill)... well i can't see the relationship with the fact you can't touch him, though...

have you tried to have more XP in the BF?

another thought:
what is your DK agility?
if it is really high it could explain he's avoiding your hits...
attack and defense are determined with agility...

Hmmmm the only other way that i can think of making sure that you hit the DK, is to invest some points in the Whirlwind skill...

You cant really miss with that... and it has the ability to stun the DK.

If you didnt learn it, the Ranaar student in Act 4, Academy Level 3

Map No 5

teaches the skill.

(yea unfortunately if you didnt learn it, you will have to load a save <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> )

WHat can also make a huge difference, is check the stats on your weapon, what is your acuracy and speed penalty?, try with a different weapon and see if it makes a noticable difference.

Also the fact that your DK was a ranged and you concentrated on his agility will make him harder to touch though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

You will have to have something like poison weapon skill aswell, while you dont hit him every time, he still takes constant damage at least.
