Level 6 help - fire knights keep coming back

Post by kyarr »

Having spent several hours killing fire knights I think it's time for me to ask for some quality help. How do I get rid of the fireball throwing knights (or whatnot)? It's the lower left part of the map, inside the area marked by the sign "Mage's Entrance".

Even with fire shield, I cannot possibly kill three knights without resting/leaving the area between fights.

I must have killed perhaps 15 of them but they keep coming back like there's no tomorrow. Is there a button that needs to be pressed or some push plate to be activated?

Or am I expected to dodge their attacks and perform some click fest without killing them?

Help please.

I'm having the exact same problem. I must of killed 20-30 uggardians and they just keep coming. I think my party is not up to the task as they can kill me in 3-4 fireballs.

While ive noticed them reappear, they didnt do so fast enough to impair the puzzle solving, i was able to fall down and retry the puzzle many times before they started to repsawn =/

Perhaps instead of resting if you just run back to a life crystal ?? maybe then they wont repspawn so fast
Yummy, more baked maggots ... bah, give them to the mage ...

So far as I know, this is an unlimited respawn. So you have to kill them all and solve the puzzle without resting. Be aware that if you fall into a pit, they will respawn too.

Hmm, I just finished level 6 - tose fire elemental guys don't spawn that fast. You see 2 there in that chamber with pits. You have to solve the puzzle (its a speed puzzle to press the buttons on the walls). But the fire guys shouldn't be spawning that fast. I usually use my archer to take them out as my mage is fie spec'ed. haha

I believe there is some sort of bug/glitch that helps on respawning more mobs then it should, happened to me couple of times. Only way I could solve it is to close the game, restart it and load the save again - if you keep on reloading the save it wont work, you need to shut the game first (and maybe restart the computer who knows :lol: )

everything respawns in Level 6 (without the oger). after coming back, there were about 20 Snails in die Mainroom ;-)

this is why it grew a habit into me of closing ALL DOORS behind me.

doing the pillar of buttons puzzle on the hall of fire, i must have killed 30 or so eefretii... Farmed so much exp out of them, i think i ended up unwillingly cheating. :)

Well, thanks guys. I managed to remove them without resting. Had to constantly evade by moving around. :D
