Mod that bow (or a blowgun) with fire damage, either through rings/pendants... or else use a chunk of lava piece to convert a portion of your current dmg into fire.
He resurrects three times, I believe. Fire dmg also works very well.Spike6663 said:
Before leaving the island, be sure to drop by and say hello to the cloaked Dryad dragon. I can never seem to get a party together who can even hit him. :lol

I forget what he's weak to... but you can always socket Magic / Ice / Fire / Poison to your weapon. Also Dryad's are untouchable with a Blowgun... especially with Lifeleech, arrows can miss the Blowgun doesn't, though there is a bug with mounted enemies, I think they fixed that though.

Cool thanks for the help. I don't find many fire damage modifiers though, I have more than enough ice and magic, but hardly find any poison or fire.
I'll give the blowgun a try, I've sort of overlooked it so far.

Blowguns + mods to Combat Arts that add extra attacks = Automatic Fire. Add to that 0.x Regeneration per hit from rings and such and it's even easier to keep the fire continous. Darting Assault & Ravaged Impact have mods that add an extra projectile so you're hitting 2 & 4 so if you have + 1.0s Regeneration per hit you can keep the Regeneration Time 2.5s & 4.5s and have still have 0 regeneration time.
It's kinda hard to find a decent Blowgun... they drop on occasion in the Jungle.

Just picked this up for £9 (kinda annoying as I found it for £5 the next day!) but yeah after the massive 1GB update downloaded i was off!
Maybe I messed up as it does drop you in and says off you go but I was level 6 by the time I got to the real main town with a blacksmith and such :lol
Fun game though im still trying to get my head around things one thing that does irk me is the voice of my dude saying either really dumb things or really annoying ones.. can I mute the bugger? Other than that its good fun.

The first levels fly by quite quickly. As you level up the levels take longer and longer. If you want to disable the cheesy lines go into your sound options and disable the commentary. If you're playing on the console version that option might not be available.
I noticed that lack of blowguns too. I ended up using a bow just because it was far easier to find even though the projectiles are much slower and hit far less often against strafing targets.

Well, I wouldn't say that as if it's the games fault per se. Depends really on your build, what you're using for weapon/CAs, your skills/gear and many other things... including, yes, your level in some cases.
If you can provide some info on your character maybe we can help?

I've found that if I hold down the RIGHT control key when firing I can blind fire without actually getting the attack cursor. That is how I killed that dragon.
If you can't do that on the console versions I've also read that a character with PE can hit invisible creatures like that.

Thanks for the advice, I wish I'd spent a few points in Perception.Woo-Fu said:
My last group was a complete disaster. We had a Seraphim dancing around and swinging her swords at nothing, a Dryad standing motionless while shooting at the wall, and a Shadow Warrior just running around in circles like his pants were on fire. Two of them died, got pissed and disconnected.
I really need to stick to online matches with GAF'ers.
If by GT you mean gamer tag, check the online section, maybe there's something there.

im stuck, Im on seraphim island (?) i think, its the one where theres lava flowing all over the place, and theres a castle where you can press like a control panel that makes the screen shake and the words "uh-oh" appears when you press it.......
The objective is to the right of the building and theres no way to go there.....HALP

just hit 46 today on silver. about the finish up the main quest line tomorrow
Spike6663 said:
I pushed my High Elf to Niob last night - LV 82 w/a 92% SB. Shadow Warrior will probably be lower (70 range). Ser should make it by 80. Inq will be higher. Just got to plat @ LV 65 with him... not touching Niob till 90 or so. BTW: Lowest junk drop in Niob seems to be 111.
The game wakes up a bit in Platinum. Characters can breeze through Silver/Gold, but once in plat I always re-spec their armor, start working on defense etc. for more survivability. I like Plat much, much more than Silver/Gold.

I finished Platinum around 82. It really depends on how much sidequesting/grinding/farming you do. You could probably get to Niobium quite a bit earlier, particularly if you pick a class that has easy boss fights. The minim mob level in Niobium is 110.
I did all the sidequests on gold and tried to uncover as much of the map as possible to raise magic find. Doing that is where most of my levels came from.
At 82 I was doing Niobium fine until Octagolamus 1-hit my character(approx. 19,000 damage, character had approx. 8,000hp. He basically killed me 2.5 times with one attack, lol).
I went back to platinum and have been doing dragon runs in multiplayer to gain levels and farm loot, got me up to 100 pretty quickly. I could jump back into Niobium now and try Octo again, but I don't know if I want to risk my 85% survival bonus just yet.

Not sure what combat art aspect you guys went with and what not but my TG was horrible against the last few Bosses,on Silver...at level 57,I couldn't even bring the Rock Boss on the Dryad island(Facellteon or something) to half health and when Cahill came in with his Shadow Warrior,5 levels lower then me,he went down in like 30 seconds.I went with "trying"(key word here hehe) to tank with him to late I guess,Dedicated Blow and Deathly Spears being my main damage dealer,but almost useless on some Bosses.
And after finish the game and seeing the last Boss,there's no way I would of made it...oh well,still had a ton of fun with the game and if they add some content at some point,I might give it a new run with a brand new character next time around.
Cahill said:
No no,i'll keep playing hehe,I want to at least get him to level 65,for the last skill for sure,just not as much as before from now on...thanks for the stuff again also
I also want to retry my class quest,since it bugged out on me on Silver and could not get the reward.

Ah. Gotcha. No problem. Sorry bout the "What, what was that.. what" last night. Your voice was really quiet and my wife & daughter were playing games in the same room as I was.
Ninja.. pretty sure the reward is better (XP/Gold and maybe items) if you pick the other option but nothing to worry about. Not like they drop you rares or anything.

FYI, I was just prompted to download a Sacred update on my PS3.sloppyjoe_gamer said:
I love the masteries at Lvl75. It adds a spark of excitement.
My level ~40 Icy Evanescence + my wife's level ~50 Raging Nimbus are tearing up enemies on Platinum.
Last night when I came home she had gone through all the level 15 characters we had played to get the achievements and moved all of the runes into our hero chests. I now also have a high level Archimedes' Beam to finish off any elite characters that don't go down in the storm. It's much better at keeping my TG alive than the Jolting Touch + Deadly Spears combo I was using.

Well, I finally decided to buy the game (PC version FYI), and I have alas hit a few snags.
First, the game CTDs without fail after a few minutes of play, which is of course irritating and even when it is in action, the gameplay shudders to a halt every 15 seconds or so. I am using the latest 2.4.3 patch and I suspect my Nvidia drivers (190.40) may be to blame but I wondered if anyone here suffered with similar issues?
It's more annoying because the game looks hot from what I have seen and I want to get out there whoring me some loot, heh.

Are you using a multicore CPU (dual core, quad core)? If so, right click on your Sacred 2 icon on the desktop (or in the start menu), click on Properties, in the target: box add -nocpubinding on the end of it. It should look like this: "D:\Program Files (x86)\cdv Software Entertainment USA\Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel\system\sacred2.exe" -nocpubinding
That fixed A LOT of my CTD's. Also, do a search on the Sacred 2 forums for Sacred 2 Cleaner Utility. These two things together have eliminated 99% of my CTD's.
It could be audio drivers too, the game seems to be real finicky with some audio cards.
Edit: Oh and there is a major bug with 2.4.3 that will occur on Windows 7/Vista 64bit. You'll have to run the game in XP 32bit compatibility mode to work around this issue for now. I have XP 64bit and I didn't have any issue with this though. Right click on your Sacred 2 icon and the compatibility tab should be somewhere on it (not sure where it is exactly in Win7/Vista)

If you have a creative audio card on an nforce mobo this is one of the games you need to back down the acceleration slider. The very few cutscenes in the game stutter and have broken audio even with this "fix", but the game itself is playable and sounds just fine.
Make sure you update the game to 2.40 or 2.43 if you didn't do that right after install. The game has become much more stable for most people with these patches.
