I just had about fifteen fights with it. With my lvl 7, three members party.
The thing is either completely broken and bonkers, or completely insane.

I dont even know where to start.


The controller! - it either doesnt work or malfunctions or someone had a completely wrong idea and never actually tried to play all that.
I have that, i have the book. I send one invisible character to sneak right behind Sparkmaster. Ive tried every command in the book. Multiple times.

I can deactivate it completely. It just keels over and then there is no loot. Ok, maybe thats intended and you dont get the loot because you solved the problem that easily. Fine.

Berserk mode does nothing, he attacks me all the same.

Party mode does nothing at all. Except it notices me and attacks me.

I can deactivate the controller though. Gee thanks! That works!


Deactivate Weapons doesnt do anything. His first move is empty, then in second he throws up oil over me, then sets me on fire and then hits me - all in that one single turn - with that yellow disk glowing over its head signifying i had "deactivated its weapons". Then on the next turn it is fully operational.

Jahan can cast rain and turn off those first fires - but that doesnt work on any subsequent fires that Sparkmaster throws every godamn turn. Even though the rain is still falling.

In every turn he can flamethrow, spew oil, hit someone with that claw which creates crippled effect and then flamethrow me or those people again.
I think he even does damage by stepping onto someone.

If we fail a save and start burning that lowers whatever fire resistance i had to -20.

My character APs disappear even though there is no effect on them, just from getting burned. (they also disappear when he cripples anyone with that physical attack or vomits oil over us, which makes us slowed down)

It is mostly resistant to curses, blind effects, stun or anything else. From weapons or spells.

It has at least a thousand HP.

I can slow it but that doesnt do much or lasts long.

I can try to "deactivate weapons" every single turn but that only makes that first attack empty - with three more attacks fully effective, working, inside that same turn.

And it bloody gets two turns while i get turns for the whole party. My first char - Sparkmaster - my two other characters - Sparkmaster - my first character turn - SparkMaster - and so on.

I can kill it but there is no bloody way i can save those guys, not even a single one. They all burn like matchsticks.




- Extra feature -

If i make it self destruct and save all the guys, the other Source Hunter comments its a shame because we didnt save them.

And i can pull the camera out of bounds of the area so i partially see all other underground locations are sections of that same map.



-edit-

There is a way to win the fight and save the other men.

It requires one character to stay back and out of the fight. Because those guys just follow one of my characters.

And really, why would they follow me into the fight? When i meet them they say how far over their heads they are and how dangerous Sparkmaster is - and then run straight into it?

Without me even convincing them to do so for some reason.

They just do.

And i have no way of keeping them from running straight into it but by such a fake, meta way as seeing which characters they tag onto and then abusing that.
