Quests

The Bug Shaman

Main quest.

Objective: Stop the Ceremony.

Before you go through the last door, prepare your team. Make sure that they have proper weapons and full HP. Check the inventory and maybe use some buffs one you get into battle more. The fight in the last location will be very demanding. Huge army of insects awaits you. They won't attack you at once, but you won't have much time to rest anyway. Make sure that you are ready and go through the final door [1].

A welcoming committee awaits you here. Once you get closer to them, the conversation starts. After it ends, the fight begins. Your target are Insect Pillar [1][2][3][4] which open one after another. When one of them opens, attack it to damage it. Of course your opponents won't stand still. New insects will be appearing each few seconds. In addition you'll be attacked by Jessica Watts, who derives energy from active Insect Pillars.

There are two effective ways to pass this fight:

1. Focus on Jessica Watts. This method requires fast actions and concentrate attacks. Instead of eliminating insects - ignore them. But you have to act fast, before their amount becomes problematic. The key to success is to surround Jessica Watts once she gets close to one of Insect Pillars. After that throw some debuffs on her, like Weaken Armor III, Slow III or Glue. Once you do this, start attacking her. Focus all your firepower on Jessica. It is possible, that she will manage to heal herself several times, but this shouldn't influence the fight much. If you place your characters well and focus entire firepower on her, she should be dead after opening of two pillars.

2. This method is longer but safer. Ignore Jessica Watts and focus mainly on Insect Pillars. When one of them opens, send your team there and start attacking it. Try also to eliminate True Form Bombardier, since they can deal really high damage. Pillars are located that way, that there are quite good covers. You should be able to destroy each pillar after it is activated 2-3 times. Once you done it, deal with Jessica Watts, who is weaker now and can't use the help of pillars.

Reward: 10 KP.

Objective: Eliminate Rest of the Insect True Forms.

Once Jessica Watts leaves the location, you'll have to deal with the rest of insects. Their amount is the same as it was when Watts ran away. Remember to focus on a single insect and kill its soul before attacking the next one.

Reward: 5 KP.

Objective: Decide the fate of Sam Watt's Killer.

After the fight you'll be automatically moved to the next room. A conversation with Jessica Watts starts - you have to decide about her fate. If you choose the first option, you'll leave her with insects. With the second option you'll play the role of the justice and end her suffering. With the last option, you take her with you. Make your choice to end the final quest.

Reward: 5 KP.
