Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Help with the Elven Council of Seven quest

Ok...Hard. As. Balls.

I'm at the part where you have to gather the Council of Seven members, and I'm at the Elven member. I followeed the Dwarves, then went down into the cave, and then down the floor tile. Then...I'm swarmed by posessed Dwarves...and they completely rape me every time. I'm a Warrior (level 32 I believe)...but I still get WHOOPED. I tried going back up the ladder every few second to recover...but I just can't get up fast enough. Should I be at a higher level? I have Level 5 Restoration skill, Level 2 Bless, and Level 1 Spell Shield. I cast Bless and Spell Shield before I go down...but I still get my [nocando] kicked.

So what should I do? Should I just go and level up, or is there a special way to deal with these tiny dudes? They are TOUGH!! I haven't even gotten close to the sorceress yet, and I hear she is even harder. I'm so screwed... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

augment defense and damage skills

better armour and weapons

attack and run, attack and run

try and squeeze somewhere that you can pick em off one by one and they can't surround you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

One suggestion. As soon as you get into the room drink an invis potion. If you are getting beat down by the dwarves you will most likely have trouble with Lady J as well. She is argueably the toughest fight in the game. If you use the potion you should be able to pull it off. You can use the warriors special skill while invisible so long as you do not directly target her. Once she is dead SAVE...then if you want you can kill the dwarves...if that doesnt work. Find better armor and weapons. SOME SWORD WITH FROST...so powerful you can spin and freeze them all...then on top of that lots of strength resis and stamina potions....good luck.

Hi TimeEggLayer,

If you feel surrounded and you find that your hitpoints are going down, try pausing the game, and if possible, drink a shadows potion or use the skill embrace shadows to become invisible or even fade from sight. Then, unpause the game and re-position yourself to an area where you think you'll be able to attack from a stronger position. You'll also be able to get close to that sorceress, Josephina while you're invisible. Then, use the special skill you have near her in a manner that allows you to hurt her indirectly. Don't attack her with this skill directly or you may find yourself getting blinded and swarmed by dwarves once again in addition to being hit with some hell spikes. Make sure you have plenty of health potions or restoration potions on hand.

Thanks.
