Yay!! 21 for 6!

[Nè 'Eleos]

To All:

Yay!!! My Sera has done it! Six points! Count, ‘em…Six for the True Warrior! ‘Course it took me, ummmmm, Her… 21 trials to accomplish it.

I’ve been fighting my Sera at about 90/10 melee-magic, so she didn’t have much in the way of spells to attack a group – all my spells did serial individual damage, which kept giving me death by onesy-twosy…no good. All that is except the beeeg BFG (she said, grinning like unto a ‘possum!).

So I went back thru’ the portal to Purgatori (had quik-saved before confronting the Guardians of the Book – no fool, my Sera!), collected all the discarded runes, and used 24 to exchange with the combomaster for BFG runes, amping it to Level 30, 3200 damage, 42 sec duration, 41 sec regen. Arming my Sera thusly, back thru’ the portal to savage the Guardians.

Used Abdiel’s Illuminated Shield and Cutter of Rage while mounted – appropriately enhanced with rings and amulets – to whittle down their health points to a thin line. That was the hard part; kept getting kills before my Sera was ready. Led them for a chase around the forge area until I could dismount and activate the BFG. Tucked my Sera into a shallow notch in the trees, forcing the Guardians to bunch up into the funnel-like opening (I remembered the bunching-up advice. Thanks, whomever!!), and blew all three away with a big, beautiful, BFG burst. Touchdown!!

good job but i have one question how exactly do you exchange your runes with the combo master for the runes you need because i made a dwarf and every time i complete the quest i get a landmine rune but i need flamethrower rune if you can explain to me how to get the runes i need i will be very gràteful

[Night Ω Wolfe]

Scroll to the bottom section of this page where the combo master info. is

Getting those six points is VERY hard to do. Most of the time, you'll get only two or four. I was trying today with my Battle Mage and he accidently killed one of the book defenders. I knew I was stuck with two skill points at that stage.

@ eldodo, don't feel bad I felt the same way when someone FINALLY told me you could exchange runes... I didn't notice it at all and it was the longest time before someone told me about it;)

Yes, very hard and frustrating ! Without Nitie's site, I wouldn't have known that six points were possible. And only the Big Bang from the BFG did it for me.

I've since learned that my Sera will shoot multiple arrows in a circular array using one of my Attack combos. Wonder if she could repeat the triple kill for the Guardians of The Book using that approach? Mayhap I'll go back and give it a go sometime.

Not to let this thread drift too far (**I am only an Egg, and unworthy**), but does anyone know how knowledge of the availability of achieving six points was acquired ...Ne"Eleos

[Night Ω Wolfe]

Yes that was completely Deonhower Colmyne's doing! He was just doing the quest one day and happened to get more than your average two points but wasn't sure why. So he did the quest over and over and over again at some point figuring out that it had to do with killing the Guardians at the same time. Then he did it some more to be 100% and then some more to come up with a way that a bunch of the different characters could do it.

Thanks, Nitie;

I owe The Honourable Colmyne big Smoochie Thanks for the work that went into that insight , and the many others on this site for the quests' help, character builds and all the rest of the useful flotsam and jetsam that then rises to the top like cream...Nè 'Eleos
