Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Defeating a Couple Of Orcs Wardrummer and Heavy

Okay..........Can somebody tell me how to defeat the wardrummer and heavy orcs that are wandering around the perimeter of the Aleroth fence? I would certainly like to know!

Use a bow and the "hit and run" technique, or magic...meteorstrike works well!

P.S. kill the wardrummer first <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

meteor strike works very well. you need something that has fast attack speed for the wardrummers because they regenerate health.

you can also freeze them. that's what i did...and it worked great.

Easiest way for a Mage: Freeze and one Hell Spike

Easiest way for a Warrior: Lead them to somewhere that you can corner them and hack away (You must be able to do considerable damage to them or they will just band their drum and regenerate their health). A couple of points in Freeze will help a Warrior a lot (I think they can gain the Freeze skill - I never really tried it when I played as a Warrior).

I've tried meteor strike a couple of times on the wardrummer with my warrior. But, the wardrummer always seems to regenerate health when he gets very low. What gives here?

yeah i play as a survivor, and i've given myself major boosts in agility...i have level 3 freeze and just beat the crap out of him while he's still frozen. the minute i see him start to defrost i cast another spell before he can regenerate...in the beginning you get lots of cool stuff from the wardrummers...

New question. I'm gonna have to skip the Orcs for now. I'm in the third level of the Aleroth catacombs and have defeated all of the ambush spells with the help of my zombie guardian friend. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Now, the madman healer is driving me insane. I can't figure out which four tombs are supposed to unlock the two center ones! Can anyone give me a hint, please? Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

This is no hint, but a screenshot, click here

Hint: take ALL the four outer ones one by one, survive all those monsters. Then you can open one of these double tombs. Doesn't matter which one, cause it's only an opening to the next lvl.

I got it, Kiya! Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" /> Now, when I went to the 4th and final level of the catacombs, I found out what the skeletons were doing there. So, I helped them out and then Thalyron came back to life. Then he asked me to put an end to his misery and his servants. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Does he mean all of them or just the ones that were surrounding him when he came back to life? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> As soon as I put an end to Thalyron, more skeletons and other things appeared out of nowhere to attack me. Do I have to defeat all of these guys again before I can leave the catacombs? Please let me know! Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

You can make a run for the door to the north, or kill all the skeletons in the room for more experience points.

I ended up saving this room for the last. Wasted all the orcs outside to gain levels, then I *still* wasn't strong enough so I went upstairs and "borrowed" the zombie guy. He soaked up a lot of damage for me so I was able to finish the room. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The room's not that tough. True I ended up with a Potion addiction afterwards, but you can get through it if you target the Conjurers first.

What I did in this room was:
As soon as the dialogue with Theyliron(?) end, I drunk a shadow potion and run to the south/southwest part. There is a Conjurer Lord(Or something like that). It summons conjurers. I killed it with meteorstrike(Being a mage) immediately.
After it is killed no more conjurers will be summoned. Then advance through the northern door by killing monsters one by one. Be sure to target conjurers first, though.
I really suggest you to clear this room by yourself for the sake of exp gained.

don't you still get exp if u run 4 the door?

no u dont but if u dont have a very good attack power or good spells then its best just to run thru and miss out on the xp. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
