Dobri 55 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) OK... Here's what happened. I'm in the jungle, full HP. I'm fighting the little green garema warriors. Suddenly one of them (a champion) turns into a ghost and I can't hit it AT ALL. My pointer says I can't interact with that object. I run away from it and hit the rest of the garemas that swarm me. Then in a split-second I hear click-click, the ghostly garema warrior hits twice for over 2.5K damage before I can react at all and there goes my 98% survival bonus. WHAT GIVES:) EDIT: Archangel's wrath didn't work as well on it (since I assumed it may have been a skill). Heck, just 10 minutes ago I killed the scorpion boss in less than 20 seconds and in no more than 20 shots from the BFG. He couldn't even TOUCH ME. I cannot quite make myself believe it that a simple thing like this can kill that Seraphim!! Edited January 27, 2009 by Dobri Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Awh Dobri. So sorry you lost that uber SB. This is a problem that came up recently and from what I understand is consistent. The champs in ghost form can't be hit or targeted. I recall that a possible work around is to lead it near another enemy and then use an attack that hits multiple targets. Makes me wonder though... Maybe the HE Expulse spell can debuff him. Link to comment
Stéphane 2 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi, Sorry for your loss Be sure to have your poison relics on in the jungle ^^ Yet you're right, the garema champions can turn invisible, and can't be targeted, it's a known bugs. I hope they will fix it soon. There is tips to kill them : - Make them move into Area of Effect - Spell without target (like glacial thorn) - Blind firing with a ranged weapon, holding Control & attacking the ground behind the Champion The dryad island dragon have the same bug, be careful.

Schot 407 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Ah! Great tips Stéphane. I will not forget them. Link to comment
Dobri 55 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Well, the BFG Seraphim doesn't sport too many Area of Effect skills... I guess I'll level up Radiant pillar or Flaring nova just in case. However, I did notice that some of those ghost baddies died, so I assumed I was actually hitting them someway. I guess that was just the reflection the skill and they actually killed themselves. I had 2 poison relics 100+ (and I'm still on silver, damn it) and 1 arcane (around 100) at that time. Sadly I couldn't take a screenie of the enemy because I got swarmed at spawn point... And was too busy bashing my desk and my PC EDIT: Time to make her an Epitaph... Charity, level 66 Seraphim While happily strolling through the jungle, she suddenly realized that the silly loading message "Equipping one hit weapons to random enemies..." wasn't silly at all...

Llama8 8 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well, the BFG Seraphim doesn't sport too many Area of Effect skills... I guess I'll level up Radiant pillar or Flaring nova just in case. You can still blind fire the BFG behind the champion to kill it. Link to comment
nokka 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I had the same problem. Here screenie (Garema far left) He almost killed me a few times as well. Especially when there are two or more. (!) Having no cast and forget CAs as melee Inquisitor, I also needed to lure the guy over to a (ideally small) group of enemies to Ruthlessly Mutilate them. My condolences for your 98% survival bonus. nat Link to comment
Dobri 55 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) If you're single player, you can do: F9 - save it and leave the game straight away. Then reload from where you are. You'll just need to be fast - since you can't do all that in 1 second, and that was just how fast the bugger killed me Anyways, it's a bug and it caught me unprepared. It was my first time through that area I didn't expect it. Edited January 28, 2009 by Dobri Link to comment
FrostElfGuard 9 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Aren't the Garema just using something like the SW's invisibility combat art? These little things remind me of Nuk-nuk chieftains... Link to comment
Dobri 55 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Actually, they don't It appears it is a bug, since if they were using veil, you can still target them - and you just can't do a bloody damn thing about them at all. And besides, imagine how much attack and damage do you need to break through: 3K defense, chance to reflect and over 40% chance to evade - in order to hit for over 2.5K damage? The bosses don't even come close to 500-600 damage per hit - even when I was with 0 survival bonus on the nameless guardian (I died 2 more times thanks to the fact that this was my 1st run through the game - so this is why I was missing my SB, because it would've saved me). So, sadly, it's a bug. I guess no grinding for levels in that area till they fix it Edited January 29, 2009 by Dobri Link to comment
nokka 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) As for whether Expulse Magic works on the buff. Good news is it does. Bad news, I don't believe any class other than the High Elf has that specific priviledge. So for all Magic Coup HEs out there there's an easy way out. nat Edited February 2, 2009 by nokka Link to comment
Dobri 55 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Well... I found another workaround. F9, leave the game immediately, reload Unless I build up another BFG seraphim with better spells, this will be the only thing I can use against those buggers.
