Co8 New Content: Moathouse Respawn

Gaear, you know it is actually quite easy to do that? When Lareth surrenders, if you accept him, he leaves three or four men that are no longer hostile hanging around in the back room. I always go back and kill them later, but perhaps these guys are part of the problem?

 

I don't see how I couldn't have killed all of them originally, unless some of them didn't appear as they should have. I am very thorough in making sure there are none left to tell the tale, wouldn't want any evil doers hearing about what's coming for them!
Thinking back, I did charm one or two of the lesser minions to help with the fighting. Would that be it? I believe they died in the ambush with turuko and company.

 

they did die in the end. so if that should have done it there must be some kind of bug. Maybe the game doesn't recognize that they're dead in this context if it happens on a different map?
The only ones who survived were the those I brought along to fight turuko, who died in that battle.
Is there some way to activate the witch in the console?

 

this was the first time I was going to open the console since I reinstalled the game, and it seems that I cannot open it. After having searched a bit for an answer I found out a bunch of people usings laptops have had the same problem with no solution available. So it would seem I just have to forget about the witch.
But thanks for the help, even if it ended at this irritating dead end.

 

I just got through it again in 7.8. I really enjoy it as it is a quest with some combat to it, which I always find fun. I think in terms of challenge, it's probably on the easy side, even though this was the second quest I did after completing the temple (first was the dragon). The green incredible hulk and the amniotes are a good challenge, but the rest of the combats are quite easy. In particular I think the witch herself and the following drow could use a bit of beefing up - preferably in a way that does not increase the xp reward (so more prebuffing or potion use prior to combat). I always think a nice addition would also be to be attacked from behind somewhere, but this does require some scripting.

Overall though, a really fun episode, which is in good shape.

 

The first time I played through it, it was shocking and challenging. Now that I know what to expect, it's merely challenging. If anything, the skeletal gnolls are underpowered compared to the rest of the encounters. Perhaps throw in a gnoll priest and a few ghasts or something?

 

I LOVE the new Moathouse Respawn and ALL of the new monsters (i.e. Blasphemes, Blood Amniote, and especially the Hulking Corpse (looks friggin' awesome!) and the Nightwalker!). That Nightwalker was killing my characters until I figured out what buff spell to cast on my characters before encountering it and what type of weapons to use against it. Thank you to whoever was responsible for the new Moathouse Respawn.

I found the combat against the witch and her entourage to be suitably challenging, but then I wasn't using Fragarach or Scather. However, I have always found the combat against the drow (in the Gnarley Forest) to be easy.

 

I cleraly missed a version change somwhere... I'll post again when I try the NEW new respawn (whenever my computer gets here).

 

I haven't noticed anything yet about the MHR, but as HB has been wonderfully updated, will the MHR also be updated for verbobonc level content? Or is it still pre-zuggtmoy?
