THOSE FUCKING WORMS WITH THE RUST ATTACK IN RAPTOR GROTTO

[JarlFrank]

Those fucking faggot pieces of shit usually come in groups of three, which means I can't kill them all before they get to fuck me over (like I can do with giant bats, which are probably broken; Cleveland Mark Blakemore, when the giant bat lands a vitality-leeching hit on one of my characters, it drains over 200 points of vitality in one hit, making them unconscious... is that intended or a bug?). Giant bats, despite being broken, can be dealt with since they come alone - maybe accompanied by weaker bats, but those aren't a problem. These worms though... they come in groups of three.

Three.

Crowd control spells would be perfect against them... but they act before my spellcasters if I have them cast any spells. And once they act, they do their terrible thing and I have no idea how to stop it.

They vomit acid, and whoever gets hit by that has a high chance to have her weapon or armor destroyed. "Lilith is affected by acid magic. Her weapons are destroyed!"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Sometimes nothing happens, but usually the weapons get rekt... sometimes it's the armor. And there's THREE of these worms, which means there's THREE acid attacks that have a high likelihood of destroying someone's equipment.

How to deal with these pieces of shit without ending up with a naked and unarmed party? Currently I'm savescumming, with no random encounters, and reload whenever I encounter them, hoping to have funghi or bats on my next attempt.

Most aggravating enemy in the game. Holy shit.

in dnd you would wear leather armor and a wooden weapon (club or something) you can try that

a wooden weapon

Sounds like a euphemism.

Use bard, have the bard sleep them.

You HAVE to make sure your bard is targeting those asswipes especially.

Is it okay to reload if you get your gear melted?

 

[Severian Silk]

If it weren't okay to reload, it wouldn't be possible.

Try a monk. They have no weapon to lose.

Edit: Bard's are turd-burglars who have no place in modern society.

I haven't had time to proceed that far in the full game, but in the superdemo I found it best to turn off random encounters and complete the next few floors naked and unarmed.

Which is just how Cleve likes it.

No.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Should they just change the site name to the Grimoire Codex?

 

[Danthar]

The book book?

Hmmmnno!

 

[Iznaliu]

The book book?

This gives me a new idea for the title of my upcoming feature film (may actually not exist)
