Chamber of immolation

johnny · 10-03-2003, 08:56 PM

I'm having trouble passing the chamber of immolation in the Black Raven Monastery. Those two Brass monks inflict too much fire damage for my tank to handle. I don't have any character with a "protection from fire" spell, so i figure my best bet is my strongest character, but no matter how hard i try, i keep getting killed in that room.

Any tips ?

I used my thiefling fighter/thief. She was not as good physically as my mains tank, but the innate resistance 5/ to fire really helped.

Do you have a priest or a druid? A common tactics is to first cast protection from fire or elements, then summon a fire elemental to take care of the monks.

Failing that you could use a mage and stoneskin him then use some summons.

Well, i used a completely different tactic... i went back upstairs, and killed every monk in the monastery.

I have another problem now though, those huge golems down in the tomb.... what "special" abilities are needed to defeat them ? With all the stinking cloud stuff they use, my partymembers are dropping like flies.

The stinking cloud is very unpleseant, but they can not cast it often. I recomend coming in with a rogue or monk(for the evasion), stepping on the floor where the mechs are, and run like hell. There are four, and two have just spent their clouds. Next, go in with a tank and bash one. Two more clouds. MOve away. And then come in in strenght, full party. A though fight. Especially if you're playing a good party because
-SPOILER-
the druergar come at you if you haven't killed them.

You mean i can enter the room with just one or two characters ? I don't have to bring the complete party in ? How ?

just run straight away to the exit. no need to challenge those golems.

Good idea, except.... where the hell is that exit ?

Oh, come on. The 8th chamber is a challenge, but COMPLETELY defeatable.

Use a mage or a cleric. Summon a REALLY tough monster. A fire elemental is best for its immunity to fire (thus can ignore the fire blasts). Then cast Invisibility (for the mage) or Sanctuary (for the Cleric) to hide from the monks and the elemental. Then all you have to do is dodge the fire blasts until the fire elemental finishes off the 2 monks.

The exit is in the middle of the map. There's a narrow path that's rather hidden. Note that if you explore the area map that you enter this area at around the NW of the map and the accessable area itself ends up looks like a big "U". Go to the bottom of the "U", the bottom of the map, move a bit to the East and start looking at the black area in the middle/bottom of the "U". You'll eventually find the hidden path.

I had a monk, but it will be the same for any fighter with good "dodging" abilities.

maybe a spoiler, not sure.

there is a place where one monk will try to get past the other one and wil be stuck. find the place, and you wil fight only one at a time.
with monk it is relativly easy, self heal and good dodge.
