Been a veeeeeery long time since the last time I was going to sleep late thanks to a game. This game woke this in me again and I'm loving it. Finishing lost valley and going into Palace of Ice right after with a very classic party sans Paladin instead of fighter and it is so much fun.
Free tip. Banishment is an instant kill like in Pathfinder- assuming you have perfect concentration feat , if you unbroken concentration for 9 rounds. Your welcome
Thanks for the comment. I believe they changed it so you have to end banishment and kill the thing you have banished. In the base game if you banished a creature and killed everything else combat would end and the thing would not come back. Cheers!
@@VaniverseGaming that was true up to ice crown, now if its a fiend, outsider or devil if it is banished for 9 rounds it instant dies. Used it to cheese expansion on hardmode
So, the game tells you that Snow dwarves are essentially immune to cold weather conditions in battle. I have 2 snow dwarves in my party and both still suffer extreme cold weather effects? This is surely a bug right?
We’re they imported from the original campaign? I have a party of 4 snow dwarves and the 3 that are new are immune the one I imported is not. So my though it there is a bug with imported characters since the frozen condition did not exist when it was created. Cheers
@@VaniverseGaming Yes, they were imported. That seems like a really silly oversight by the devs. Costs me an attunement slot for the boots of winter. Hopefully it can get patched.
My Snow dwarf that was freshly created only gets chilled in blizzards. It’s kinda odd but I guess it makes sense that extreme weather would still have a mild effect.
It seems like with the Price changes of gear Lost Valley saves are better to import since you get soooo much more gold and duplicates of the unique crafting materials. Even though you miss out on a few recipes that are in CoTM. Once you get to Palace of Ice all the recipes that aren’t in lost valley are there for you and you can use your mass amount of Lost valley gold and crafting resources to make anything you want. Also the Legendary weaps from palace of ice sell for a substantial amount of gold you can use for tomes once you have the faction rep to buy em. For your Lost Valley tips. Maybe include that the legendary Short bow in Lost valley the best one to pick to start off PoI with. I regret not grabbing it. Short bow that deals additional 3d6 to Monstrosity and Fiends.
Hmm.... for my Wizard in the main game, I mostly used fire or ice spells. I will be importing him but now I'm a bit worried if you say everything is resistant to those. I guess I do have a couple lightning spells though as well :/
There are things that are not resistant to Fire or Cold so you do not have to get rid of them. However, some fights will require a different strategy for sure. Cheers!
I’m new to Solasta and just finished the core game and Ice Palace DLC after digesting a lot of your videos. I have to disagree with you on the necessity of cold protection. Playing the Ice Palace from start to finish, the amount of times you “need” cold protection (newsflash: you don’t need it) are so few it became crystal clear the cold effects were absolutely not an issue. All my party were squishy casters, I had no “tank” because that’s another myth of RPG players’ wisdom (especially if you kill the enemies faster than they can hurt you, and if you use summons and take cover when necessary)…point being: my squishy party did absolutely fine without a “tank” and without a single cold remedy. There were a very few fights where one or more party members cast a spell like Fire Shield or the protection from energy spell, but using an attunement slot dedicated to boots that become useful one in 20 fights is pointless. I found it much better to craft the boots of speed to get initiative on every battle, without any attunement, and used my 3 slots for offensive items rather than defensive (like the fire staff, or wand +3 etc.), or a crafted armor that also gave bonus to all saving throws. You’ll “be chilled” and then “frozen” but all that does is slow you down some. The real solution is to light bonfires when needed and use ranged attacks during those few fights where cold is a (very minor) issue. Spend more time killing and less defending, it’s always been that way since the original D&D.
I disagree with 2. I couldn't care less about ice or fire spells. They didn't use many anyway. The reduce of speed was annoying though. But I'm not wasting a attunement slot for that... Number 4 is so spot on. The only time i struggled was then my buffed barbarian turned against me 😂.. Number 6, can you raise influence on factions more than +80? I haven't managed that yet and I'm trying... Number 8 which npc's? U remember? I'm interested...i can't find any... No10 i haven't tried, thought summons are useless. Thanks I'll try!!
# 6 I am not sure. I have not explored it yet. I think you can in one faction depending on who you side with in the story. # 8 there is an NPC in white rock city that wants to adventure with you. Also Heldon Sure spell has a quest. Cheers!
I came here to post about the tip on wearing the winter boots: absolutely agree - it’s way overrated and definitely NOT worth wasting an attunement over
The DLC is it’s own area. You would Have to go there on campaign mode so it would overwrite your active campaign or adventure mode. You can have one campaign and one adventure mode at a time and the doc can be one of those

This DLC looks to be premium content and the best Solasta has to offer
Yeah, They put a lot of work in on this one to close out Solasta and move on to their next project. Cheers!

On the list. Cheers!

hmm Spread out... that kind of kills the court wizard and firewall... good to know.
If you have a court wizard DONT spread out and just make sure you have your reaction for counterspell LOL. Cheers!
@@VaniverseGaming yeah that’s what I thought. But if you bunch up then you get slammed with AoE yeah?

I'll check that npc's thanks)

can i start a dlc and return to main quest during or after it ?

I’m stuck on the encoded diary puzzle and I don’t even know where to start please help I feel like I’m missing something
It says go back to a person not on the map, and you can't leave the map. I'm stuck, too.
Ok, figured it out. There's two diaries. One is "encrypted" one is "draconic" . Read the encrypted.
Glad you figured it out. Cheers!
Wish someone could mod this game to let you have a larger party.
There is a mod for it, Unfinished Business.
It allows multiclassing as well. It is by far the best mod in Solasta hands down. Cheers!
Beware of spoilers :(
Great video though
Oops....I should have called out spoilers on ALL my videos!! I am sorry, I will try and call them out in the future. Cheers!
