Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 15: Neketaka Sadly, while exploring the Huaro on the way to Neketaka, Sjáanda got an injury due to a lack of athletics skill on her part. I considered resting and using up my second charge of Hylea's Bounty, but...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 14: Maje Island Part II At the digsite, Sjáanda lures back the first group of enemies as we call in our sporelings - the summoning spell takes a long time, so we get going as soon as combat starts. 108 health is pretty...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 13: Maje Island Part I I'm back to my regular updates. Here's what we decided to do with our party in terms of subclasses and multiclasses when transferring it to Deadfire: 1) Thayn Goron is going to be a Beckoner, a...

I can understand that sticking to player decisions across a rather big franchise gets quite complicated, especially after three relatively complex games. However, considering the super long developement time for this game a bit more effort in that regard could certainly be expected nowadays...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 12: Thaos ix Arkannon Back to Burial Isle, where we once again activate upscaling and enter Sun in Shadow. No trouble with the traps or the encounters down here for now - the shadow drakes aren't very dangerous with...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 11: The White March II Our next stop is Whitestone Hollow, where we deal with a few sidequests and get into more languafeth battles: Next, we pick up the WMII bounties. Brynlod, the one in Dyrford Crossing, is among the...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 10: Concelhaut, The Iron Flail and Llengrath There are a few quick things we need to do before we can face the archmages - first, I decided to quickly do the "Ready the Cannons" quest because there's a bunch of durgan...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 9: The White March I While the upscaled version of The White March I can be fairly challenging, we are at a level where even that one shouldn't give us too much trouble. One of the few enemies that can still destroy...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 8: Finishing up the Endless Paths and Act 3 With our big experience advantage compared to our previous visit, most of the remaining levels of the enldess paths are a breeze - we mostly face enemy types we've already...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 7: Northweald, Elmshore and more bounties After praying against both treachery and imprisonment, even big groups with multiple adragans aren't quite as scary: One of the adragans even gets to taste its own medicine...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 6: The Road to level 11 (and the reward for getting there) Entering Act 3 at level 10, the upscaled encounters at Elmshore are very scary - a lot of them include 2-3 Adragans, and while we have prayer against...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 5: Things we've left for later, Dyrford and the End of Act 2 After our shopping tour, we take on a few quests we could have done earlier but decided to delay, because they are little bit more difficult - first off, "The...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 4: The Endless Paths, Level II-VII The Endless Paths level 2 is fairly easy - it's just xaurips. A lof ot them, but just xaurips in the end. Level 3 is where things get really interesting - the ogres by themselves are...

If you compare Edér to the current main tank in my playthrough, the only defensive stat he's lower in is 3 points of resolve, which is 3 deflection, which is a nice thing to have but doesn't make or break a tank, especially when supported by a priest with spells like armor of faith (later on...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 3: Defiance Bay The party enters Defiance Bay. There are a few non-violent quests here, but not nearly as many as in Deadfire - but we try to do those where you only have to fight a single group of enemies first - if we...

Towards your first point, the double health bars eventually get eliminated in the second game. I don't think they're much of a problem in practice in PoE1 (though I do prefer their absence in Deadfire), because if your party has a few vancian spellcasters, the times you would want to rest due to...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 2: Claiming a Castle This is why phantoms are so dangerous in the early game - Cymedrol starts out with full hitpoints, even buffed with a potion of wizard's double, when he gets hit, this triggers a decently long stun...

The Temple of Eothas remains before we travel to Caed Nua (Raedric will have to wait until later), and my lack of recent gameplay experience shows as I rest with an accuracy bonus against spirits before entering - however, on level 1 there are no spirits yet - they're all in level 2, so we...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Update 1: The Road to Caed Nua Now that our party is assembled, we're travelling back to Valewood, taking down some bandits, wolves and the bear cave. The bears are known for their very high damage output, but we have very...

Six Crowns for a Singer: Thayn Goron's Triple Crown Full Saga Run - Introduction It's time to combine my recent Deadfire experience with my earlier knowledge of PoE1 for an attempt at a full saga playthrough. We're going for triple crown rules here, as I haven't done these for the second game...
