Making Bosses Persistent In Single Player Campaign Mode.

[Little Faith 24]

Well, I read in the "Sacred 2 Mod Compilation" thread that the trick is to set "persistent = 1" for their corresponding creature id's, so I dug through the creatures.txt for them.

 

Now I need a few clarifications before I change something stupid.

 

Firstly, is this list correct?

 

id = 186 Gahanka (name = "Barb_HE_troll_warrior_elite")

id = 625 Terus (name = "Legio_skeleton_General")

id = 1887 The White Griffin (name = "Monst_griffin_bird_boss") OR IS IT id = 282 (name = "tenerg_griffin_bird_mutate")?

id = 1877 Daloriel the Depraved (name = "tenerg_helf_NK_boss")

id = 1878 Daloriel's toady 1 (name = "tenerg_helf_healer_boss_1")

id = 1879 Daloriel's toady 2 (name = "tenerg_helf_healer_boss_2")

id = 76 Gar'Colossus (name = "Boss_tenerg_steingolem")

id = 1886 The Banshee (name = "energy_ghost_boss")

id = 1869 The Evocator (name = "energy_HU_ghost_mage_boss")

id = 1883 The Raging Boar (name = "wild_HU_boar_boss")

id = 1874 Bloodclaw (name = "Monst_werewolf_boss")

id = 1884 Thranak (name = "tenerg_ogre_warrior_boss")

id = 368 Octogolamus (name = "Boss_Monst_giantkraken")

id = 1085 Swirling Mist of Miasma (name = "Boss_tenerg_fogmonster")

id = 1876 Sinister Prince (name = "Dead_mummy_priest_boss")

id = 216 Carnach (name = "Boss_Demon_firedemon")

id = 367 Garganthropod (name = "Boss_insect_scorpion")

id = 1880 Holos (name = "Monst_minotaur_boss)

id = 1885 The Harpy Queen (name = "Monst_griffin_bird_boss")

id = 217 Kral of the Winged Demons (name = "Boss_Mech_bionic_flyer")

id = 1564 Kral's energy stations (name = "Boss_ju_energystation")

id = 1472 Facetteleon (name = "Boss_tenergy_crystal")

id = 1433 Forest Guardian (name = "Plant_ent_boss_elite")

id = 1930 Ice Lord (name = "Monst_elemental_ice_boss")

id = 1881 Lord of Searing Flames (name = "Monst_elemental_fire_boss")

id = 1931 Poison Lord (name = "Monst_elemental_poison_boss")

id = 1932 Earth Lord (name = "Monst_elemental_earth_boss")

id = 2047 Scaron (name = "Boss_tenerg_crystal_scarabaeus")

id = 1327 Narmul, the Crystal Phoenix (name = "Dragon_phoenix_elite")

id = 2126 Blue phoenix statue (name = "TRAP_crystal_phoenix_statue_blue")

id = 2127 Green phoenix statue (name = "TRAP_crystal_phoenix_statue_green")

id = 2128 Red phoenix statue (name = "TRAP_crystal_phoenix_statue_red")

id = 2129 Yellow phoenix statue (name = "TRAP_crystal_phoenix_statue_yellow")

 

The dragons confuse me, is this a good guess?

 

id = 97 Magmadur (name = "Dragon_huge_fire_boss")

id = 496 Bengaresh Desert Dragon (name = "Dragon_huge_desert_boss")

id = 495 Hissil'Ta Swamp Dragon (name = "Dragon_huge_swamp_boss")

id = 1898 The Grinch (name = "Dragon_huge_ice_cr1_boss")

 

I assume the Nameless Guardians/Great Machine are made up of these:

 

id = 1503 The big egg (name = "Boss_BM_core")

id = 1459 Guardian 1 (name = "Boss_BM_master_01")

id = 1592 Guardian 2 (name = "Boss_BM_master_2A")

id = 1593 Guardian 3 (name = "Boss_BM_master_2B")

id = 1594 Guardian 4 (name = "Boss_BM_master_03")

 

But who is "Dragon_huge_ice" and the different "Dragon_huge_mountain" variants. Which dragon corresponds to the Grunwald Cave Dragon and which to the Gyrvim Island Dragon? Also, what's the deal with "CLONE_Dragon_huge_fire boss"?

 

 

Secondly, how do I go about multipart bosses. I am here thinking about the Big old Great Machine/Nameless Guardian complex as well as Kral and the Crystal Phoenix.

Should I make each of their individual parts "persistent"?

 

Thirdly, are any of the Blood Forest, Christmas Island and Community Patch bosses safe to make "persistent"? They all seem heavily quest-related.

 

Fourthly, what is the id for the Guardian in the Crystal Planes.

 

Fifthly, what actually happens to "persistent" bosses. Do they regenerate when you start a new game session, or can they regenerate within a single game session?

[Pesmontis 166]

Only recently I learned that bosses can be distinguished in the creatures.txt by looking at the creature's 'monstertype' ( = 2).

According to the monstertype, the v2.65.2 list of bosses is (CID = creature ID, ITTID = itemtype ID):

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your other questions.

Anyway, I like very much reading the actual in-game boss names, so please keep updating this list :-)

 

(ps. I also got the v2.65.2 list of 'Champions', which I might post here if you need it).

[Pesmontis 166]

Yes.

Little Faith has some 'Champions' in his list (eg. the toads).

[Little Faith 24]

Yes.

Little Faith has some 'Champions' in his list (eg. the toads).

 

I included a few non-bosses because they are an integral part of the boss fight.

Daloriel would not be much without his annoying healers and a big part of the Crystal Phoenix fight is killing the statues.

 

My main hopes/fears here is whether I can get Narmul, the Abishai of Dissension and the Nameless Guardian to respawn properly.

 

Narmul and the Abishai because they are interesting boss fights. The Guardians because they serve the same purpose as Baal does in Diablo 2, as an endgame high-end equipment farming target.
