I am struggling with the psi sharks on the u.t.u mission is there any special tactics you can use against them, or am i not ready for them yet (my party is level 15 to 16)

I think your level's ok, but cast Soul Shield immediately to protect against their mental attacks. Also, any item that adds to mental resistance will help.

Magic Screen + Soul Shield should bring you to 100 mental resistance.

Sane Mind may be usefull too, to cure Turned and Insane characters ASAP

Are you referring to those Rynjin psionics in the swamp?

How can I get to cast Soul Shield or any thing for that matter when those Rynjins could see me coming at a far greater distance and can
initiate attacks before I could even manuever to face them....

Oh well... I think I should have created a party of 6 Psionics instead....... or a party of Zero INT (no intelligence = cant be psionically controlled/manipulated)

ALVAIS have this spell on BEFORE you meet the Sharks or other monsters:

1, Magic Screen

2, Armorplate

3, X-ray

4, Missile shild

5, Chamelon spell

6, Enchanced Blade

Those above spells i alvais cast after i have rested so they are on alvais!!

+ this spells for the PSI Sharks and Bayjin monster when entreing combat mode cast:

1, Soul skild

2, Elemental skild!

When done this RUN or Walk ASAP up to the PSI Sharks so your fighter or meele guys kan smash them to death!

Also have your priest to cast SANEMIND spell if one of your caracter got a INSANE status! [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

PS. Tip you can also cast Silence on them then they cannot cast spells he he or FREEZE ALL then they get PARALYSED!

Hope this help!

When fighting magic using creatures, use the first round to cast element shield and soul shield at highest level possible. This does mean the rest of your group must engage the enemy at range for the first round. On round 2 walk or run up to the enemy and start pounding. Another potentially useful spell is eye for an eye. If the spells are group, cone, or all spells they reflect back on the enemy as long as 1 person in your group has the spell in effect.

If you use these tactics the Psi Sharks and Rynjin should be no problem at your level.

Eye for an Eye is ok, but my experience showed it to run out of steam fast and usually the monster it gets thrown back at, is rather immune to the spell. I like the chaos drone (pandemonium spell) in that if I threw insane or used siren's wail, it was usually ineffective, but chaos drone would have them insane or at least terrified and running away instead of attacking.

I used Soul Shield to protect my party and elementals to keep them occupied til I kill them by whatever means I have available.

Doh, I guess I should have put a priest or a bishop in my party. I have a valkyrie but I guess it will be ages before I get any of those good protective spells.

No not that long. She gets Magic Screen at level 9 and Soul Shield at level 12, *if* her Divinity is high enough.
