This will probably be a series of questions I put in here as i go forward with this campaign so other people can use it for this too, I haven't seen a similar thread anywhere and wasn't sure if this is the place for it, or training grounds thread.

Okay, sitrep: Was winning stage 2 when the demon went possessed. That's fine until it becomes unpossessed and starts slamming friendlies and there is no opportunity to attack it when it's your turn as it becomes possessed again!

The elf-helper avatar 'sashea' says something like: "Without those Nefari Elves, this demon has gone wild." What does that mean? Is she talking about the Nefari Reapers? I guess that is when the demon went crazy, when i killed off the last reaper, not sure....

What to do:

a) get my own reaper for my set to control the bugger? That doesn't seem right...

b) attack the demon before i kill the last reaper so it stays an enemy on my turn?

c) Or just hold a bunch of hammerstrikes and other spells i can cast on friendlies and hope for the best.

Comment: this set up is a game-y gimmick --- to not let you attack the demon, when it is possessed and friendly, then it goes on a tear on the enemy turn with a sure kill on any friendly rune unit. Annoying, especially since i spent a lot of time trying to win the game until this gimmick shows up at the end of the game and the demon, with 28 activation points, runs after an avatar that got too close to it's huge attack radius, and i lose the game!!

So, if anyone can help me past this game-y feature, I would appreciate it! Thanks.

Theres already a walkthrough thread, but basically you kill the 3 reapers and then kill the shrine, ignore everything else if you can help it

Hi, thanks for the answer, I would like to find that walkthrough you mention.

Sirpent, the shrine is impregnable -- so they must have changed the campaign since you played it last perhaps. Maybe after the reapers are dead it becomes attackable again, but I don't recall that happening in my game.

I doubt they would change it after all this time, I beat it this way 2 weeks ago

When the last reaper is killed, the shrine loses impregnable. Killing the demon will do nothing. Although it is funny to continue hearing Sashea and Grimlic talk about it after it is dead.

You can kill the demon, like you said, with hammer strikes or AoEs on your turn. Takes quite a bit though. Even if you do kill it, it doesn't destroy the shrine. It isn't an Avatar.

Unless they changed something since I was Grimlic farming last. :3

ok,

thank you both for the tips. I didn't see the shrine lost impregnable when the reapers are gone. I'll keep an eye out for that sort of thing in the future.
