Hi. Some things seem very nice with new DLC. But some don’t. I’m on a new game level 28 and set up base at Sepermeru and catching thralls is nearly impossible for a solo player now. I stun one and there’s a bunch of them in a quarter of a second. They are strong, mighty, fast and their stamina get back in a few seconds. They don’t follow you anymore so I have to kill them all ending up killing ones I’m trying to catch.
And I had a bearer L3 dying by being hit only once by a rhino. Can’t be.
Right now I’d say it’s not really playable, or I don’t enjoy playing the game. Maybe thralls were too easy to catch, but you do that all the time, go from an extreme to the other, So I’m on a hold waiting for a fix hoping new settings, I love this game, a while ago I quit after another update for the same reason, came back and found out you fixed it. So I hope you’ll do the same and it’s not the way the game is now.
When you make a new level 6 character and head straight to the volcano because you don’t know how progression works.
Jokes aside, I just dragged a Dalinsia Snowhunter to my 1-thrall wheel, using a wooden truncheon and twine rope, at level 15, so it’s not impossible(starting on a new official server).
Bro, try to isolate just one Fighter III to put on the wheel, then, give him/her your truncheon, he will knockdown anyone within 3 to 6 hits, still in Sepermeru, Bandit Leaders drops even chains, used to drag knocked down foes, there’s also a chest under the Black Galleon that spawn with high probability the steel truncheon, if you get it, look for the Dalinsia “The Goddess” Snowhunter! On unnamed city later, you will find 3 big skulls like Lich Kings, they drops a sword named Sword of Crom, once you get, GG, you mastered any boss anywhere! Equip her with a good armor and put gruel on her inventory! Done! I use healing arrows for support on long runs, but it goes with your own you speed of playing!
thanks for the tips, I’ll go back and try it. I did have the sword of Crom before but thought it was a worthless item. But why Dalinsia ? She’s not even the best archer. And why gruel ? Exotic meal heal lot faster.
The way I see it I can get thralls anywhere except loaded areas like Sepermeru, Asagarth, volcano, because as soon you hit one you have 6-8 NPC on your back so if as a solo player best thralls are not accessible game is boring. Just after the update I tried to get Hyam the blacksmith for an hour, I’ve been killed 3 times and I was not even close to get him.
When I begin the game I don’t waste time in the south, there’s no iron and it’s the first thing to get, building the first base is a long process because harvesting is so long at beginning…also not wasting time in the east because I have to put many wheels on many locations to find named basic thralls, Sepermeru have all the best basic thralls plus brimstone, the second thing you need. So that’s why I’m going Sepermeru first. But I don’t know maybe I have to re-think the way I play, maybe the devs really want us to begin south at first so we have to be like level 50 for Sepermeru. But the way I see it I don’t think solo players can go volcano anymore cause NPC are too strong and aggressive now, their stamina fill up in seconds !
Dalinsia is unbeatable, mine never even lost 1/4 of her hp in any boss, here in all 20 she has 12k Hp, and I didn’t have her food to grow vitality. About the gruel, it’s the cheapest food and together with the high regeneration of the thralls, it make them fine all the time, and you can make it anywhere, about the volcano, it’s not my field, never got them even having lots of warmaker complete heat sets, all my table thrills are from Sepermeru, the only one that’s worth to hunt out is the Witch Doctor in Summoning Place, they spawn aloft and have the same alchemy recipes of the Alchemist thrills from purge!! Back to the volcano, my bro here went famished for the volcano warrior, but when comes to strength and vitality, the majestic Dalinsia rulz! So he asked me to capture one for him:relieved:! For you to have a notion, I don’t have even a point in precision or strength at lvl 60, sure I play PvE server. I’m practically a MMA coach, just watching the fight, the most I do is break defense with a mace and any enemy falls like flies for Dalinsia!
Hi. Maybe I could try to kill NPC with bow before, but NPC are not following anymore, or only on a very small area, they go back in their original positions so I can’t drag a few ones, kill them, go back and knockdown the one I’m looking for. And when you hit one, all NPC around the area run after you. It’s very different.
Kaisergeist tells me to bring a fighter 3 with a club, I’ll give it a try but I think that will end up with a dead follower.
With a fighter III you have to be careful, isolate your target to knock it down, Dalinsia can stay in the middle of the brawling in Sepermeru that she still don’t take any damage at all, and with the legendary Love Tap, she knockouts crowds at once… look for a warrior III in Mounds of the Dead, they are naturally the strongest in the entire map
Interesting how you play the game. I’ll try it. I’m speaking french so I’m not pretty sure about what you mean about the volcano, you only have to bring 2 sets of armor, 1 for the cold and one for the warm, a lot of chili food, a lot of water and lot of ice. I usually set my main base almost at the top of the volcano at one of the hidden entrance, can’t climb, can’t use catapult or explosive arrows, absolutly untakable, so I’m laughing a lot when people are trying. It’s an easy go for catching thralls.
I don’t like volcano at all, although I have some complete sets of gosbreaker armor, it let you walk freely without need of any thing like water or ice. So besides obsidian and some armorer named thrills for specific armor Collection and some quests, the volcano is the last place I walk…
Yeah, you’re right. That makes it a bit more difficult in solo. I bring with me 3 stellar war axes, I never used the third one but pretty close sometimes.But that’s why I think it’s not do-able anymore with new NPC’s behaviors. You seem pretty close to Dalinsia, do you know she’s seeing other players also ?

You’re not jealous type, respect for that. Easyer to change it while in battle than repair it.
I like the map at Sepermeru, or east like aqueduct. But my internet is so bad (satellite) I can’t use micro, so that’s why I’m playing solo. And playing solo in these areas always end up being raided. It’s a concern I have with Conan, we spend so much time building a good base, finding good thralls and it’s so easy for a clan to break in while you’re taking off for a day. So I had to find good spots to build. Tried a lot, over an hundred games I’m sure. Found a few ones actually, but on the volcano is the best by far.
Possibilities are huge for this game. But I’m not sure devs are heading the good way. They change a bit the game but mostly for DLC. It’s a wild huge world, servers should be full because nothing compares to Conan. Like half the map is without interest. We should have a free players market and other stuff.
It’s Ataulfo! I like Sepermeru even more with the new dungeon, in the first time, without a walkthrough spoiler, I almost had a heart attack it goes deeper and deeper no light, skeletons everywhere, cliffs all over the dungeon, bosses that almost hit kill you, small chests with Khati steel that you can barely see, and a boss that have an special attack that hits the entire room and summon troops os blue skeletons… I died the first time, had to make all the run to the end, naked in the darkness, with all the mobs respawning behind me, that was bad, bro… I was afraid to lose my stuff if I spawn out of the dungeon, so I had to run😶
I’ve certainly noticed NPCs are a LOT better at ganging up on you and poking you to death than they were before…ran by the dregs and ended up encircled by 10+ NPCs. I had never seen that before.
Personally though, I like it. I like the challenge, now you actually have to figure out your approach to NPCs while before you could face-tank almost all of them. Thrall farming is only slightly more challenging now but not impossible. Just work your way up, I always work my way up from desert to north/sepermeru thralls. So I don’t go for the big hitters, nothing wrong with taming a Frigga Falsehope then having her help you knock out cities like Sepermeru. Kill what you don’t want, drag the rest to your wheel.
As solo player, some AI choices are abit… frustrating. few spots I feel kinda force thrall/pet system on me. I’m doing ok.
I think it need a few more adjustments, or maybe certain enemies types need some tweaks.
Black Gallon, I get realistically… that whole ship would argo as alarms sound… but its a video game… that doesnt have a working sneak/stealth mechanic. XD
If I could snipe the guy at gate… and work my way in, that be awesome. Having everyone chase me down… is kinda boring. Its real… but again… video game > real life. XD
