Atara VIII - Starting Act 3 On the way to Twin Elms, we pick up the Sealed Missive: Once we get into the city regions, we explore a bunch, pick up various quests, turn in minor tasks and reach level 9: Edér: Armored Grace Pallegina: Aegis of Loyalty Atara: Ringleader, Borrowed Instinct Aloth...

Atara VII - Through Death's Gate and the end of Act II We move directly to Clîaban Rilag, ignoring Dyrford Village/Crossing for now. A quick stop to complete Edér's side quest and we enter the ruins. For any druid groups we find, we make use of the scroll of defense + scroll of protection...

Atara VI - Defiance Bay Mainquests We enter the catacombs - a big battle against trolls and sporelings occurs here, where we make use of most of our current tools - Blessing, Dire blessing, AoF, Divine Mark on Durance, Returning Storm, Burst of Summer Flame, Sunbeam on Hiravias, Mental Binding...

Atara V - Defiance Bay Sidequests While avoiding all combat, we recruit Sagani, Hiravias and Grieving Mother, taking Hiravias into the party - he picks up Wildstrike Shock and Weapon Focus: Peasant to start with. In Defiance Bay, we plan to recruit Pallegina, picking up the wood beetle figurine...

Atara IV - Caed Nua One of the hardest groups in Caed Nua is the very first one, featuring phantoms, whisps and shadows - we call in our animat figurine here, but Edér gets confused by a whisp, which is really bad for us - however, the animat holds the front line until Edér returns to us and...

Atara III - The Temple of Eothas This is the first truly frightening area that I am definitely not looking foward to clearing with an incomplete party. Before we enter, we buy the animat figurine and some food from the inn. We have to make very careful use of chokepoints here so our lacking...

Atara II - Questing in and around Gilded Vale In Gilded Vale, we finish "Against the Grain" with a diplomatic solution and find another ring of minor protection for Durance. After that, we travel to Esternwood - as I try to get Durance close enough to a group of wichts to hit all of them with...

Introducing Atara - A PoE1 cipher using only official companions On Page 2 of this thread there was a discussion about the viability of the official companions in PoE1; Specifically, there was some doubt cast on Edérs ability to adequately do the job as the sole tank of a party. My side of the...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Final Update: Ukaizo First we have to defeat 2 engwithan sentinels. These guys are vulnerable to constitution afflictions, but we barely have any of those available. They also have super high armor, apparently - despite our...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 26: Boarding the Fonferrus We help Aeldys overthrow Furrante by showing the council proof for his dealings with slavers and the VTC. Easy enough. Now, we sail out to sea and speak the oath of the Darcozzi Paladini. A...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 25: Magran's Teeth Finally, time to go to Magran's Teeth. Not a ton of battles here, but once again we make use of our new endgame summons: Since I wasn't quite sure how tough the upscaled dragon battle would be, I...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 24: North-Eastern Exploration To finish up the optional content, we explore the north-east, which mostly includes the Collapsed Coal Mine and the Flooded Cave, plus the last few available bounties. The animated weapons...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 23: Crookspur A relatively short update. All faction quests collide in Crookspur, but the actual content is relatively short. First, we sail to Ori o Koiki and make a deal to clear out the slavers, which fits well within...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 22: Southwestern Exploration and more bounties We go back southwest to complete the exploration here. Eotens are tough, but their weakness to dexterity afflictions means that even the secondary effect of Mental Binding...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 21: Sayuka and Shadow Under Nekataka Before leaving Neketaka again, we catch up on the next VTC quest, which is easy enough to do without combat, and hand in some quests in Dunnage. Now we sail to Sayuka, where we level...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 20: Poko Kohara, "left for later" quests in Nekataka An update to our average combat tactics at this level: - Instead of ogres, Thayn Goron now opens up combat with an empowered "Called to his Bidding" invocation and...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 19: Motare o Kozi and Eastern Exploration In Neketaka, it's time to turn in quests and also do the Lord Admiral Imp and Lady Epero bounties - we don't do a lot of non-illusionist offensive spellcasting with Cymedrol, but...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 18: Southern Exploration We sail southwards and get into our first ship battle. Now, the interface shows us that Diccila is a 5th level cipher. That can't be right - we have full level scaling activated, right? The...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 17: Hasongo My first thought for the archer Ambush at Hasongo was to stealth past it, but these naga archers have incredibly eyesight, apparently, and I have to turn around right away. Instead, I decide to walk in with...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 16: Fort Deadlight and Dunnage Our first stop outside of Neketaka are the Príncipi bases, as there are nonviolent solutions to nearly all of their quests. It is crucial to avoid facing enemy ships on the way, but we are...
