Can someone help me with this fucking game? I came back to this game after a year and can't get past where I left off, the fight in the Sanitarium. My party is wiped out in less than 15 seconds after the constructs and patients attack. I have no idea what the fuck to do. I already turned the game down to easy difficulty.

Do you have a tank? Park the rest of your party near a choke point and have the tank start the fight and run back. Also, use crowd control, get your wizard to Chilling Fog and Slicken and Confuse or your Cipher to Whisper of Treason and Paralyze. The easiest party setup is one unkillable tank Monk or Fighter laden with every piece of defensive gear imaginable and five guys shooting spells and arrows past a convenient choke point.

What the other user said, plus remember to enchant your weapons to the next tier, and add some lashes to them, helps a bit
You shouldn't have any problem on easy to be honest..

A priest blessing and healing everyone might help. Accuracy buffs are god tier, and the best healing spell is the Consecrated Ground second level one that pulses healing out every few seconds for ages.

I'm playing a Cipher so I have some CC, unfortunately it's not very useful. Using your advice I was able to hole up in one corner of the room. Durance and Kana survived long enough to outlast them all. Thanks user.

How do I upgrade weapons? Am I supposed to upgrade armor too?

That may be part of the problem, I forgot all about Durance's healing spells. I checked my last save and it's from November 2017.

Whisper of Treason is great, use it all the time. It’s so cheap it’s almost free, ties up multiple enemies when you consider how other enemies fight the one you charmed, and is so fast it’s the perfect answer to anything that breaks through to your back line. Ciphers are great at CC so long as they have high intelligence, and if you need more, get Aloth or a merc wizard, and leave the primary damage to a rogue or ranger with a fast bow.

Also, remember you can always respec characters at inns for a nominal fee, if you find yourself getting stuck with your old feat and spell choices,

One of the hardest fights in the game. Try to b8 a few of them out, don't try taking them all on at once because you won't win. If they all start coming, leg it.

How useful are mercs anyway? Right now I'm just using the named party members (Aloth, Eder, Durance, Kana and Sagani).

I think I may have picked shitty spells then. I have 19 INT but most of my spells seem to have a ~30-50% chance of success and don't last long at all. I have:

>Eyestrike
>Tenuous Grasp
>Whisper of Treason
>Mental Binding
>Mind Blades
>Phantom Foes
>Psychovampiric Shield
>Puppet Master

Maybe it's just bad luck that they keep getting resisted.

You need crowd control spells and ones that do damage over time.
