floor*

It's a teleportation device in case a character gets locked behind a door. But doesn't activate until doors are closed. Basically a failsafe. Unfortunately the dungeon maker doesn't offer the ability to turn on/off the visual as needed, just the function.

There is a magic rune on the flore in abandoned tower resting place. What for is it?

@OhNoes, misty step should work if you are close enough. Might need to be on a particular cell/square as I can't remember the distance. But it's meant to be gotten through that way.

There is an orc cave in the swamps and chest behind wooden wall (not far from friendly orc's tribe leader). Cant get to it - tried flight, misty step, etc. How to get to it?

Cheers, thanks for explaining!

Thanks Fanner. Forsaken Isle and Morrows Deep require Lost Valley only. Red Crow requires Lost Valley and Palace of Ice. Grave Rush requires Lost Valley, Palace of Ice, and won't work without Unfinished Business mod installed.

Inner Strength items do drop in all the campaigns as well but the lack of it is supposed to filter those items out. There is a Lightbringer Edition of Solasta that should have all DLC at a discount, I believe.

Thanks for your mod collection! One question - which DLCs are required please? I only have the base game but will buy the DLC just for your campaigns.

@Vapore, you'll head to the sewers eventually but level 3+.

@Artyoan well i did say i was dumb. I actually didn't talk to elswulf. Was able to go through the gate now (after getting my ass kicked from the first encounter in the sewer. What level are you supposed to be for the sewer btw? enemies got like +8 to hit QQ)

@Vapore, what does the quest text say? Should just need to talk to Elswulf in the manor, then talk to the tavern owner inside the inn, and then the west exit should unlock.

Alright i'm probably dumb but i'm stuck in the beginning...I can only enter the two manors, the tavern and the sewers...I'm supposed to be able to travel through the west town exit right? It's not interactable

@LeonidasRey, glad you're enjoying it. When you say you've 'killed everyone' does that mean you fought the midwife and won that battle (which is optional depending on a prior choice) or that you've fought Thaefen/Eldon? A stairway leading down should be accessible after beating the midwife but after the final fight you need to go back upstairs and leave the same way you've entered the mirror.

Hi! What a great adventure. Thank you so much, I really enjoyed it!
I got stuck. After entering the midwife's room, I went to another map and killed everyone, but the door there doesn't open. Is there a switch I can't find?
Thanks for the help!

@DeTruWeaboo, not sure what would cause that but it would be either a base game bug or something related to Unfinished Business. I'd try just restarting the game and then seeing if that fixes the problem. If not, could possibly be a UB related setting recently changed?

No changes can be made to hit dice or resting systems from the standpoint of the dungeon maker though.

So I think I found a bug? Not sure whats happening but the hit dice are empty when I try to short rest and dont refill after a long rest.

They are very good at hide and go seek.

Really enjoying the enemies that appear out of thin air.

Unfortunately any spells that are able to target a trajectory will go through walls and thats a problem with Solasta's baseline design. Only silver lining is that you can do the same thing, like using a cone of cold through a wall. Dragon's breath will do the same thing. It's silly and something we all hope they can get rid of for their sequel.

So he can shoot straight through the stone wall just because two people are in a straight line? I'm in a corridor, he's around the corner, through a room around another corner and in another room. There's like 30-40 feet of stone between us and a bunch of orcs between me and him.. there's at least 5 orcs between me and the room he's in and another half dozen or so in that room. He's one-shotting my team, by the time i get to him i'll have half a party if i'm lucky. I don't understand how he's shooting through that wall.

If you're level 3, you can gun for the shaman with ranged but in general, don't line up for him. The shaman will usually not cast it if he can't get at least two people in a straight line. If you're not level 3, there is enough exp to be that prior to the fight, which is highly recommended.

OK, how is an Orc Shaman throwing lightning bolts through 30-40' of solid rock and one-shotting my casters. How am I supposed to be able to fight this when he can throw through solid rock before i can even get line of sight on him.

Thanks Oltex. Any other components you find missing would be welcome. I don't think I ever revised the vendor lists for this one after more were made available in PoI so wouldn't be surprised if some are missing. Only red crow and grave rush were more thoroughly done and actually shared some vendors via export/import in the DM.

Replaying with a different party and noticed, on the exotic artifacts vendor, there seem to be all the pelts EXCEPT badlands ape. Have a recipe for Boots of First Strike but no ape pelts to craft it.

@Artyoan ok, thank you.

@CavityCommunion, they do not. The scavenger functionality isn't possible to use in the dungeon maker, unfortunately.

Does Forsaken Isle or your other created campaigns use scavangers like the base game?

Thanks Executor888. The main downside of 6-man adventures will always be the time commitment. Especially for Solasta since the animations are quite slow and movement is sluggish. UB can speed things up considerably but it's still long and that feature doesn't work for multiplayer. In the end though, I found I like six man combat more than the four.

Good adventure! I've played many Solasta campaigns and like to play on Scavenger difficulty. I did the same with this one and it was the first time I felt like I had to really try to win, which made for some pretty exciting moments. I do have to admit that while having a lot of enemies in an encounter adds a layer of fun and difficulty, it did make combat feel slower and more monotonous at times. Regardless, I still had fun and I look forward to playing your 6-man versions of Morrow's Deep and The Red Crow.

@geolas, yes, those are associated with quests and at the time I chose to block them off so as to not break sequences. The path opens up after certain variable triggers. I'd prefer the waypoint not appear at first either but those aren't capable of being activated or deactivated.

is it normal that the witch hut and unkown cave are inacessible when first encountered?

Really enjoyed the run until we got down into the crypts and sewers. Bunches of shamans who cast lightning bolts through ranks of my toons even through thirty feet of solid stone and earth starts to get frustrating after a bit. I can suspend disbelief for trolls. Shamans with X-ray vision and stone-penetrating spell attacks, not so much.

Story was great until the Lysander battle. The cubes constantly hurling AOE spells that do 30+ damage to everyone every round decimated my party by the 3rd round 4 times in a row. Up until then it seemed pretty promising. There is just no way a party of that level even with constant healing or trying to tactically spread out would be able to survive that. I guess I could cheese and turn down the damage but that just seems lame to have to do that. Ah well. On to the next Solasta adventure.

I spoke too soon. It would appear Wooden Shield is it's own item and I can't find more than the one my Druid came with. Ah well.

The Shield recipes are now in the base DM as selectable. Lots more were added in the Palace of Ice patch too. Probably worth revisiting recipes/merchants in the future on a replay. They even changed the base item costs after this was published, though it sounds like it didn't kill the economy that badly.

I try to be fair with ambushes.

Or near enough that it won't matter. Loving this adventure btw, your encounter builds have made sure I don't just rush in blind, though it threw me off a bit in the beginning when I'd investigate a chest and suddenly there were enemies everywhere. :-P

Probably an issue with Unfinished Business, I'm assuming it adds a bunch of crafting elements? Thankfully as long as I can get a wooden shield I should be able to make what I need.

Checking my list, there is no shield recipe in this one as a hand placed drop, nor the primed shield. I don't remember if the recipes were absent in the DM when I initially made it or I just decided not to put them in.

There is a shield +1 on the special armorer and another one to be found. As well as a shield +2 is capable of being found as well.

My Kingdom for a primed shield or primed shield recipe. :-P

If you have a good way of dealing ranged single target damage you can possibly harass that shaman into just healing itself. Also avoiding lining your party up can keep it from mowing too many down with lightning if it does cast it. Feedback has been that the six man campaigns are harder than the four man original versions.

Thanks, I'm using the right mod! Also my friend holy shit that Shaman fight was insane lol. I'm playing on Scavenger and I'm going to restart my run with a new party because it made me see that mine sucked ass. I've really enjoyed it so far, fun and challenging.

@Death Korps, if you've subscribed to this then when you choose an adventure it should say (6 man party version) in the title. You could unsubscribe to the four man version too. Then when you select for a new adventure, this is the only version that should be present.

Artyoan, how do I know if I'm really playing the 6 players version? I choose it and as of right now the two encounters that I've faced against the orclings and the wolves didn't have more enemies than the 4 players version =/

Thanks Player 1. They are a rowdy bunch down in that crypt. Especially so at those settings.

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for an excellent adventure. Running on a custom difficulty (double health on enemies, +1 to their attack rolls, 120% damage dealt but +1 extra feat on starting characters), and the combat feels awesome. Just got out of a nail-biting fight with the undead in the crypt - every character went down at least once, and we barely scraped through.

You really took the baseline game and made it shine - thank you!

Thanks twitch-Khaddy42. The saves are probably too high as that has been some consistent feedback. Also, that the ending handful of battles were too easy (but not the final battle). Eventually I'm going to replay all three six man campaigns and fix some stuff, as well as some rebalancing. The other two campaigns don't have saves bumped up as much.

Finally finished!! 69h playtime ... nice :D

Great Campaign, thank you!

One thing was annoying:
- Most enemies had such increased +wis, int, cha saves, that "cc spells" were way less effective than raw damage. Some enemies had like 6 wis, but got wis save +8 ... so wtf.

Final fight was a great challenge though :D
Thank you for the campaign!

Thank you!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah it is that. Damn we had a good rogue and ranger and picked every lock xD

@twitch-Khaddy42, if its a button that doesn't appear to do anything it is likely a button that opens a door that was already opened through some other means. Like picking a lock versus misty stepping through and hitting the button.
