Introducing Will, Priest of Berath, and his custom party All right - the final run I've planned for now. The idea is to test out some builds (outside of what's possible with official companions, so this will neccessarily be a custom party) that I've wanted to try out for a while. We're playing...

Risk, the Pale Elf Oracle (Ancient/Psion), Final Update - Endgame Indeed, right as we enter the Ashen Maw we reach level 20. Combat here is quite easy, as there are few battles and we deal peacefully with the dragon. For the endgame, we're siding with the VTC, but against Director Castol...

Risk, the Pale Elf Oracle (Ancient/Psion), Fifth Update - Old City, Faction- and Mainquests We delayed the Old City for so long because my hope was that access to Dismissal would make the area far less tedious - indeed, we're outleveling these vessels even with full upscaling by now, and Xoti...

Risk, the Pale Elf Oracle (Ancient/Psion), Fourth Update - Exploration and big battles in the North-Eastern Archipelago We quickly finish up the eastern and southwestern exploration - it's basically only one battle each, no trouble here. Things get more interesting once we move to the...

Risk, the Pale Elf Oracle (Ancient/Psion), Third Update - More Bounties, including a big battle with Katrenn and half of Neketaka On our return to the city, we visit Rymrgand's Realm: After that, we fight & explore a bit more to the east (including the ancient death guard - resting with...

Risk, the Pale Elf Oracle (Ancient/Psion) - Second Update: Southern Exploration and a trip to Crookspur Most of the battles in the south go very well, until we get to the Oathbinder's Sanctum. Aloth somehow hits himself with his own Ninagauth's Bitter Mooring in what I can only assume is some...

Risk, the Pale Elf Oracle (Ancient/Psion) - First Update: The Big Questing Route Act 1 is done, with many injuries this time around, but this should, in theory, be the hardest part of the run. We sail to Neketaka and recruit Konstanten, but don't rest quite yet despite our injuries, because I...

Introducing Risk, the Pale Elf Oracle (Ancient/Psion) Risk is basically Trisk without the T. Also, the name is fitting because full level scaling makes the entire experience a lot riskier compared to my previous Oracle run. If you want to know more about Trisk and how I came up with this Oracle...

Well... Here's how that went. This is Simia, a wood elf Devoted/Barbarian multiclass, using morning stars as his devoted weapon - there's a great one at Arkemyr's, and there are tons of synergies and equipment pieces that I thought would allow Simia to get to extremely low recovery despite...

A Chronicle of Failure I have mostly shared my successful runs in this thread. Indeed, no-reloading through both PoE1 and Deadfire is a somewhat more reliable challenge compared to the Baldur's Gate series once you've figured out some working strategies and builds, because there's just less RNG...

Ifirn, Ghost Heart Ranger, Endgame Time to go to Ashen Maw - since I already ancountered some level 22 elder flame bats here, I decided not to fight the dragon - the legendary upgrade is not needed here, it would only affect the weapons of my casters at this point, which aren't too important...

Ifirn, Ghost Heart Ranger, Tons of Main- and Faction Quests This is by far the latest I have ever gone to Hasongo/Poko Kohara - no good reason for the delays, I just wanted to try and do a bit of the side content at level. Scaling won't fully get those two areas up to snuff (it's capped at +6...

Ifirn, Ghost Heart Ranger, Exploring the North-East and South-West, plus all remaining Bounties In the Northeast, we get a great gunpowder barrel explosion in the coal mine, helping us in getting an easy victory: At this point, I decide that I want one additional level before taking on the...

Ifirn, Ghost Heart Ranger, Combat Quests in Neketaka In the Old City, the level scaling is very noticeable - this group here is high level anyway, but even at level 13, one of them outlevels us by at least 4 levels: Vessels are especially tough, and the big battle against the spawning...

Ifirn, Ghost Heart Ranger, A few Encounters to the North and Eastern Exploration After all that, we sail to Dunnage for more turn-ins and sail to the north, for an unusually early visit to Crookspur - there are two reasons for this - a) I discovered that it's not that difficult to avoid the...

Ifirn, Ghost Heart Ranger, Southern Exploration and Return to Neketaka For the first couple of ship and bounty battles, we make sure to upgrade Blightheart - the required dexterity afflictions are easily applied with Ninagauth's Shadowflame, since Paralyze is a dexterity affliction. After that...

Ifirn, Ghost Heart Ranger, The Big Questing Route As per usual, we do all Neketaka sidequests with a possible non-violent solution, so everything but the Old City quests, the Hanging Sepulchers and A Glimpse Beyond. At level 8, when we're just about ready to leave for Fort Deadlight, we do get...

Ifirn, Ghost Heart Ranger, The Digsite As is generally the case with a custom party, we are only at level 3 when venturing into the digsite. Our keys to success are Arba's Sporeling summons and Heliodan's Whispers of Treason. Those are assisted by Flint, who has picked up a club and the club...

Ifirn, Ghost Heart Ranger, Introduction When I first played Deadfire as it was released, I imported a Ranger from PoE1, one of my favorite classes in the first game. I was, however, pretty disappointed in the gameplay performance of this character in the sequel - and aside from picking up Maia...

Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Tenth and Final Update: Endgame At the Ashen Maw, we get to test out our new high level spells - Citzal's Enchanted Army, while being certainly pretty good, feels overall underwhelming compared to the raw power of Missle Storm as a 9th level spell. The cleric choices...
