While using Harpoon I 've really noticed that it has different piercing damage type, and these Great Orcs resistant to that compared to Dark Knight. Usually when I oneshot 2000hp Dark Knight, it takes half of Orc's HP. But somewhy sometimes I oneshot Great Orc with Harpoon.
Things gone fast, but I think it is the leftover from damage taken to destroy his shield, like leftover ignores the resistance.

Gotcha will do for that melee!

Evil Dave [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 11:27am

@Vostroyan55th
Most of the enemies has Bleeding resistance. As long it is not +100 you can steal HP from the enemies with the Queen's Sword combo. As example, if an enemy has +80 resistance against bleeding you can steal a little bit of HP but if it has +100 you won't steal HP at all

Vostroyan55th 24 May, 2023 @ 11:22am

I see that's alright i'll use the Queen's Blade on the earlier stages hehe

Evil Dave [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 10:28am

@Vostroyan55th
No, is a late game weapon (two last maps)

Vostroyan55th 24 May, 2023 @ 9:19am

is it possible to let Ianna's sword earlier or is it just late game weapon? during the tower and abyss the light sword is insane i found myself only using life potions during the chaos knights and lord of evil boss fights its so freaking powerful lol!

Evil Dave [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 9:12am

@Vostroyan55th
Well, most of the bosses (and enemies) hates light, which means once you get Ianna's sword (and obtained the runes for the its combos) it will be super easy to defeat them, specially the last bosses.

Vostroyan55th 24 May, 2023 @ 9:07am

appreciate the guide! i was having trouble with some bosses but managed to defeat them all!

@maffhew
I forgot to tell you this so I will make a extra answer. There is a mod (HD mod) which introduces the Medium and Heavy Bow. I found that a really nice addition (they were in the game files, but not in-game). Btw, I changed some things in my guide. I also added a section at the start of the guide that could be useful for you. I also re-made the resistances to "weak & resistant" so it is easier and faster to see (read). Before, everything had the "- resistance to or + resistance to" I think it is better now than before. I will also change the numbers into color numbers so it is easier to read as well (if that is possible to do, of course)

@maffhew
I find the bow useful against Minor Orcs, Liches and Trols. Drain = Queen Asha sword
