Hello everybody,

I have installed 1.5 patch, and with it comes some adventures, one if them is called Damn Those Swamps.

I decided to let live the mad scientist, but after that Elei isn´t in Druid´s valley, as she was. Where is she? I should speak to her in order to complete the quest. Thanks.

Hmm. In my play-through the forest nymph(isn't that Elei?) was right outside the cave. Use your quest tracker. If you can't see her anywhere you're the unfortunate victim of a bug. Reload your last save.

Are you sure you are looking at the right time? They do sometimes very annoyingly go out of view between the bushes, or otherwise you need to restart a saved game or maybe simply switching off and restarting. If that don't work, you do have a bug and should consider an update of a sort or patch, not sure of the correct term to use.  :peace:

Hello,

in DAMN THOSE SWAMPS (with FCR, U.K. EE 1.5), I have easily killed the wind and earth monsters (and got their essences). The water monster kills me in 2 hits. The fire monster is completely immune to all my attacks (both swords, and each of the 3 styles), dodging/parrying everything. It also does not really fight as usual - it sits there for a while doing nothing, before killing me in 2 hits.

Am I missing something? Does that adventure not work with FCR? Or do I have to trigger something else first?

Thanks!

FCR is made for original game (and where tested on it) not for extra adventures so there might be some issues.

To defeat te fire element you have to make it notice you, then run to the stairs on the other end of the hall, even though you cant cross it, you can get to the top stair, the creature can't reach you there... but you can hit the creature. This was the one I figured out first, I'm stuck on Water en Earth, but I just started the extra levels. Took me like forever to finish the main game :D
Can't find a walkthrough for these levels actually ... Is there any and did I miss it?

[secondchildren]

I'm stuck with the wind spirit. Can't defeat it (bastard!(). Any idea?

OK, Playing "those damn swamps" on hard, I got 3 of 4.

Earth: use the mace that suddenly appears in your inventory.
water: use a couple bronze talents to enhance arii, knock it down and one hit it.
Fire: draw the critter to the top of the stairs and swing at your leisure.

I'm just not figuring out air though.  I can knock it down with arii, but it won't stay for the kill, Fire doesn't affect it.  I do more damage with silver than with steel, and fast style is the only thing it won't dodge.  I can only get it to about half vitality before it kills me, and it regenerates faster than I do so I can't run away and recharge.

Any suggestions?

Ok since this forum was set up so practically no one interested in the answers could actually read it, after several days of dorking around I managed to figure it out.  I doubt anuyojne who doesn't already know the answer will ever read this due to the asinine filing system but it irritated me so much I am filing it out of sheer cantankerousness.

it appears that the air guard is subject to incineration.  Therefore one solution is one (1) point into air student to allow for a knockdown of the water guard, and then everything else into fire and incineration.  The air guard is slow so if you miss the first time you can just run away and regen.  That's much harder with the water guard since it can one hit you, so you basically have to get a bit lucky.  There aren't enough points to get an incineration boost and a knockdown boost.  I found the air guard harder, so I went for the minimum possible and prayed for the crit.  It took a reload or two.

I found that it was possible to lure the air guard away from the air "bubble", then run to it and get out of combat mode in the process. I then simply picked up the essence without killing the air guard. However, one time I tried it - it worked. Another time - I faded out just to fade back in with the guard wailing on me. Perhaps a tip is to be well out of the air guard's way when the "fading" happens. (The episode seems to be somewhat buggy to be honest. Had to restart the whole thing first time I tried, since the quest system didn't notice that I'd killed all the drowners..)
