Hi There(Ore Golems in Black Mtn.)

Hi everyone. I've just starting playing this game a ew days ago. It's interesting; a lot like a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

Could anyone give me some advice or tips on how to defeat the ore golems in the Black Mountain Clan dungeon? I had to back out of the dungeon and go back to Tarant because the golems, about 15 levels higher than myself, were too difficult to fight. My character is a level 11 or 12 melee type with a little bit of persuasion and minor healing. I also have Virgil and Magnus in my party. Does anyone have a good strategy for figthing these things without having one's weapons break, or do I simply need to wait until I'm level 20 to do this quest? It seems rediculous that I should have to wait ten whole levels to advance on the next part of the story. help appriciated, thanks.

 

I'd say that you need to gain some more levels. I were at lv 35 when I did that quest. But you decide.

I killed the Ore Golems with ease there, I got myself a Looking glass Rifle and simply shot the golems, took me about 7-8 shots.

These are the best advices you can get from me.

 

Go do some side quests before. They aren't the easiest for a new player.

 

I've managed it as early as level 16 using Molotov cocktails and explosives. Lots of explosives.... And the followers using hammers.

I keep hearing that you're supposed to equip your party with gauntlets for the golems but I really didn't see any improvement over giving them hammers.

 

The problem with gauntlets is that instead of weapon damage you receive, like, actual bodily damage whenever you hit the golems. It's okay if you have machined gauntlets and virgil healing you, but it's something to watch out for.

 

In the unpatched game, you take no damage from Ore Golems when you punch them. No item damage, no physical damage. It's good.

 

You're kidding, right?

 

Yes he is. Who ever heard of an automated teller machine in 1888?

 

Pfff, why get unlimited cash ? You'll be swimming in money anyway. (Tarant, mage district; using cursed things to get back your money after big "investments")

 

You can do wonders at the mage shop using the aforementioned cursed items

And I vaguely remember this guy who told us (in a not so obvious manner) that the cheapest way to identify items is to put them into the mages' chest, and barter with the mages, then take them back from the chest.

 

Yes, especially since divination is pretty much useless otherwise.

 

Well, I did it. I was around level 16. I had everyone in my party use spare weapons that I bought cheaply from the smithy in Tarant. I had to make a trip back for repairs once and it was still difficult(I had to fight them in turn based mode and I still had to reload often), but I did it. Pretty tough, but now I'm going back to Tarant to talk to Bates again.

 

your sig.....makes me....afraid of....kittens.
