My Battle Against DOS2's Cursed Revenants: Destroying the Infernal Ego Nightmare
Master effective strategies to conquer undead Revenants and infernal portals in Divinity: Original Sin 2, using holy blessings, terrain tricks, and clever tactics.
I still remember the cold sweat dripping down my spine when I first encountered those \ud83d\udc0a lizard-like Cursed Revenants in Arx's charred consulate. Just when I thought I'd mastered Divinity: Original Sin 2's combat, these undead nightmares taught me true humility. Picture this: you finally drop one after a brutal fight, only to watch in horror as an unkillable Infernal Ego portal materializes and resurrects your foe! \ud83d\ude31 That soul-crushing moment when you realize brute force is utterly useless... yeah, that was me spamming fireballs like an idiot while they kept popping back up like cursed whack-a-moles.
After dying three times (don't judge me!), I noticed something crucial: both the Revenants AND those infernal portals ALWAYS stood on bubbling purple necrofire. Eureka moment! \u2728 But my excitement died faster than a low-level wizard in melee range when I discovered necrofire laughs at regular Hydrosophist spells. My trusty Rain ability? Worthless. Water barrels? Useless. That viscous purple goo-fire just kept burning with demonic persistence, mocking my desperation.
Through glorious trial and catastrophic error, I discovered these life-saving strategies:
- \ud83d\udd25 Bless That Mess! (Most Reliable)
Casting Bless on necrofire was like watching holy water melt a vampire - the cursed flames literally \ud83d\udd25\u2796\ud83d\udca7 transformed into regular fire! My personal favorite combo? Hit it with Blood Rain first (creates blessed blood surfaces), then Bless for maximum cleansing. Nothing beats watching those smug portals fizzle out mid-resurrection!
- \ud83c\udf2a Tornado Time! (Most Satisfying)
The sheer chaos of unleashing Tornado \ud83c\udf2a\ufe0f never gets old! Watching it vacuum up entire necrofire patches made me cackle like a mad wizard. But careful - that 5-turn cooldown left me sweating when multiple portals spawned. Pro tip: Position your ranger on high ground first!
- \ud83d\udd77 Terrain Transmutation Tricks (Most Creative)
Swapping necrofire with normal earth felt like playing god with a terrain puzzle. Sure, it's not as flashy as Tornado, but when I replaced fire under a portal with clean stone? Watching it implode \ud83d\udca5 was chef's kiss!
- \ud83d\udd04 Teleport Trolling (Most Hilarious)
My personal guilty pleasure: teleporting a Revenant \ud83e\ude90 miles from any necrofire before killing it. The portal spawns... then instantly crumbles because it can't reach purple flames! Pure schadenfreude watching those arrogant lizards panic.
So here's what still keeps me up at night: In a game where cheese strategies reign supreme, could there be even wilder ways to break this encounter? \ud83e\udd14 What if we used Contamination to overwrite necrofire? Or maybe charm effects to turn Revenants against their own portals? The beauty of DOS2 is that for every 'intended solution', there are five gloriously broken alternatives waiting to be discovered. What's your most insane Infernal Ego takedown story?
