Will O'Wisps... how do i kill them ?

johnny · 10-03-2003, 12:39 AM

I've been asked to extuinghish the Ghostlights in chapter 3. For starters, this level is a real PITA. What an annoying maze.... but enough of that.

When i finally reached my destination, i encountered the toughest opponents i've seen so far, or at least so it seems. Those Will O'Wisps just keep coming back. Am i doing something wrong here ? Or do i need some kind of special weapon, or spell ?

I mean, i've seen some tough enemies along the way, but each and everyone of them eventually died. They just keep coming back. What am i missing here ?

I think they are 100% immune to magic so you are just going to have to hack away at them. Buff your party with Haste and other spells like Protection From Lightning.

That's what i've been doing all night long, but they just keep coming back. I carry a fair amount of healingpotions on me, and i had to use them all every time, and still they kicked my butt.

I'll try a few spells like you suggested though, thanks.

I agree with pritchke. Protection from Lightning or Electricity is very useful.

I suggest having your archers armed with +1 or better arrows.

Also concentrate your attacks on the most wounded Will O'Wisps when possible. As you've seen, they can be very annoying, blinking out like they do. Attack whichever ones you see, but if you happen to recognize a badly wounded one, focus your ranged attacks on that one as much as possible.

Also, I don't suggest trying to chase the WoW's around. I would try to keep my formation not quite totally tight, but still fairly close together. Close enough that my tanks could attack the same target without having to move more than a coupld of steps. And if the WoW's popped back in well out of range of my tanks, I'd just switch 'em over to ranged weapons. I liked making the WoW's come to me, rather than chasing them around the area.
