Larian Studios Forums Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga / Flames of Vengeance (English) Divinity II - The Dragon Knight Saga HELP!! with the four knights

i just came up from finding out orabos is dead and the four knights are laying waste to me...well one of them anyway, he seems to have a one shot heat seeking missile or something...im a level 30 mage with more than 600 hit points and he still takes me out with one shot...even when he misses, im dead...wtf!! help

It's probably a infamous almost instant death bug, try to contact larian support or decrease difficulty setting.

i didnt think so.... he seems to be shooting a missile at me or my pet even when he hits my pet i die......so im not crazy and you think its a bug huh...

Wha? I was a level 20-something mage and I had no big problem. Died at first time, but then I came prepared with imp (it's how you call the necromonster, yes?) and demon, and was very easy.

I guess, try to fireball/spell him first. He's the only one who can bring you danger out of this group.

...But he REALLY shouldn't take away 600 hp in one hit. A bug, maybe?

its a bug i did that quest at 30 ish with a pretty good setup still one shot me they hit with a missle or something that hits anywhere from 1100 hp - 1990hp as far as i noticed as far as this quest go you can kinda buged them if u get a quick jump roll backwards on the pillar or behind wall then you can kinda single them out or try using dragon stone to port to tower and back that also un bugged it for me. I also noticed this will happen randomly as where sometimes you roll right on through them and other times they roll you

ok tried going back to tower and back ...still same outcome....any other suggestions....this one knight has all this fire power...ridiculous!!...definitely a bug...but out of at least 25 hours of gameplay this is the first "bug" i have run into...i must say this is a very enjoyable game

I think you may be going about it wrong. I think mages are going to have a problem with that fight. My suggestion is go back and relearn your skills at the battle tower and put one point into the rush attack. Then use that on him and stay close to try and get him to switch to a sword. If that doesn't work, I suggest you catch him in a firewall and try to get the firewall so the wall is actually on him. This seems to be almost a 1 hit kill on anything.

then again, maybe it is a bug, he really shouldn't be able to one shot a level 30 with 600 hp

It's not a bug, it's Explosive Arrows.

I know that, but he says it is one shoting him and his is a level 30 mage with 600 hp. Even explosive arrows shouldn't be able to do that to a higher level character.

Depends on ranged resistance and maybe magic resistance as well.

Well he must have an absurdly low resistance if he is level 30 and they are one shotting him, aren't they like level 24 or something?

Since there is no more level-based damage, it may be possible.

Note than in Ego Draconis, they would do exactly 0 damage if they're more than 5 levels behind.
