Have you guys tried to play with the lanterns in the captain room ? Like activating them at the same time or something ?
We got the 4 chests today, still wondering about the last one.

Running out of ideas honestly.

whats the deal with the first blue circle that opens the small dead end room? I wonder if this plays a part in the 5th chest.

Is there any confirmation that the final boss can pop 5 chests? Could his letter comment be in response to the drake chest that pops which in turn helps you spawn the extra 3 chests from betral?

damage reduction is just as important as holding hate.

foresight is very strong as well. works like ff sort of, except when it procs you take 0 dmg from parrying. unfortunately you can't parry a ws though.

Now that's just a tragedy. lol.

tanking all the skeletons would be the epic icing on the cake as far as hardmode achievements/rewards goes. I would love to see that be the final box condition.

Incapping Bartaals swords doesn't pop it... ;\ But you're able to incap his horns as well lol....but by the time we incapped the swords, he was practically dead...sigh

Did the incaps change his behavior at all? Or are incapacitations still useless in 1.18 (except for Great Buffalo and loot-table-dependent incaps)?

That must have been fun trying to incap his face without getting blasted by that dark kamehameha move. Unless you did that early on.

Idk doc it sound like "too much to do for a single chest" did you guys tested my idea about the lights in the batraal room??
07-29-2011, 09:23 AM

I still think killing no adds @ batraal is a more believable hardmode than "kill everything". Regardless: LETS TRY BOTH

We're doing and trying so much stupid shit, this feels like AV lol....ebon panels.
Lets see, we dispelled the eyes, then tried to see if we could deal damage or anything, we incapped the ogre, again nothing different or new. We wanted to try having Bartaal shoot down the eyes during Phase3 (lol this is how stupid shit is getting)...we're totally out of ideas and the gear we're getting is almost to the point where its being thrown on the ground D:

We even had someone sit in the captains quarters during watching and interacting with the lanterns the entire Bartaal fight while we went through the different phases + playing around with all 3 of the circles....I think we're out of ideas lol..

Only 2 ideas left for us atm: avoiding all the aoes from the eyes and seeing if Bartaal can damage the eyes after dispel lol.............................yea <_>

we're pretty much SOL on ideas as well :( but honestly this is awesome. I love spreading out hardmode content because no one can figure it out haha

Avoid getting hit by both eyes completely sounds like a reasonable requirement to me xD

We just got him down yesterday, so we're not really at the point yet where we can get him down smoothly w/o error, a few more kills then we're gonna be up for trying some strategies as well :D

It doesn't seem like there are any pointless areas in the dungeon, has anyone checked out or tried clearing these areas? Maybe placeholder mob(s)?

Just speculation but what about the first floor eye after killing Batraal or anything that just sits idle after clearing...can he be touched after downing Batraal? again...theories...

you only get 90 seconds in the dungeon after batraal dies + the chests spawn once he dies.

Ya forgot about the 3 minute timer once dungeon is cleared...

we've tried running back to the captains room in the middle of the batraal fight and after to see if anything changes in the room...no luck.

Did you guys do a "nobody gets hit by any eye aoe" run?
07-29-2011, 03:14 PM
Lilith

My guess is that it's something with the lanterns idd. Maybe a specific timing of touching to activate them?
07-29-2011, 03:17 PM

The lanterns in the captains quarters are VERY out of place.

the amount of incomprehensible and insane ideas flowing through vent is getting to be a little too much. loss of sanity before we find the 5th chest.

Can the eyes get hit by batraals attacks at all?

It's so bad were even running out of crazy ideas.
