Vithal keeps dying; does anyone know why?

Remove all ads!

I'm in the main cavern of the Underdark and have just cast the Freedom scroll; Vithal appears and gives me the quest to get his Book of Rituals back. But before I can complete the quest, Vithal charges over to the nearest Earth Elemental and picks a fight so he's always dead before I get back.

I've reloaded three times and the same thing always happens. I've tried loading him up with protective spells before I leave, but that Earth Elemental does a lot of damage fast. Did anyone else have this problem, and can anyone propose a solution?

Thanks in advance, guys!

 

try sticking around longer and killing that earth elemental

Use some powerful weapons though.. think you need +3 weapons for those guys

I went to each of the elemental portals and cleaned them up before casting Freedom. That takes care of most of the elementals

 

Thanks for the advice- I should have mentioned, I tried that too, but the Earth Elemental I kill is immediately replaced by a very alive and uninjured one. I killed 3 in a row while my cleric healed Vithal nonstop, but in the middle of the fourth elemental Vithal got killed despite my efforts.

(This is the map where there are those portals that Earth and Air Elementals pop through unendingly- or does someone know how to make them stop?)

hmm i cast the freedom spell at a different place or something. I cast the spell, talked to him and then you are supposed to go and get the book so he can enter those portals and then one elemental comes out of each portal. you kill them and he gives you stuff.

If you kill him he has some cool spells, i recommend saving often. He is very hard to kill.

 

Kill the elementals before you get Vithal. Each portal will spawn multiple ones. Go to each portal, clear it of elementals, then get Vithal.

 

i dont think you can clear the portals.. avoid them until after you get the book. They will spawn endlessly if you dont.

 

You can clear out the portals, about 10 elements in each port, good experiences.

 

Yep, I also killed some of them before I casted freedom but it soon got dull and I stopped it. However, it´s a nice way to earn sonme xp since you have to fight for it.

 

I only cleared out the air elemental portal cause it's such a bore!
There were about 8-10 elementals around so i suppose if you take the time to clear all of them before freeing Vithal from imprisonment you can earn about 240000 experience points. Not bad! But boring!

 

Has anyone ever used the neat helm of death thing you get from him, if you kill him? i haven't dared....

 

Maybe you could cast Imprisonment on Vithal when the elementals appear and then free him after you kill them. Assuming you have the scrolls to do it of course...
