When i did the statues thing, i first used the barrels there. Moved each onto the symbols in front of the statues (those were on the statues previously, right? good move devs) - and then i would shoot those barrels with a bow.

When each element would spread over the ground there - the demon would appear, but - all those demons had almost zero health. Their health bars would be completely empty - but they needed two shots with a bow to actually die.
Which was about 40-50 points of damage from each shot from the bow Scarlet had at that moment.


The only one that would not appear was the Air element one. The barrel would crate iced surface around the statue but that would not bring the demon out.

If i used the lightning bolt on the statue itself demon would appear, but with full health.
I tried activating the other statues by using spells on them directly and then all the demons had full health.


I also killed the Earth demon with a barrel before it could even appear and start the fight, since just moving the ooze barrel released a little bit of ooze onto the symbol - which somehow damaged the demon a lot and then i moved a barrel a little bit to center it just right and he died :P

Got the XP and the loot for it though its body could not be seen.

Im noticing that i cannot identify items that are in the companions inventories, when im trading with some merchant.

Thats a rather superfluous measure. It just makes me open inventories and transfer items to my two main characters... which is just pointless. many traders also refuse to trade with my companions - but i can just click on the trading icon and force it.

That should be allowed.

When i get my own elemental in the Homestead... he is selling me magic books? Why?
Whats an elemental going to do with money? Why is he trading with me - right after i got it so it can "teach me one elemental magic"?

Besides, it inventory has two copies of each spell book he is selling.

Was same with Earth elemental and fire elemental - didnt try other two but i suppose it would be the same.
