Incubus boss crash
Reproducing the bug:
- Allow Incubus to throw a ball
- Kill the Incubus
- Ball from dead Incubus explodes
- Crash
Workaround[8]
|
- To avoid this problem, kill the other monsters first, then weaken both Incubi and kill them in the same turn (so the battle is over before the detonations).
- OP2:
- Freeze 1 Incubus before it throws ball
- Kill it
- Kill all non Incubus foes
- Kill Incubus
This is easier and works with basically any weapon.
