Undead Azunite Archer Hero...

I think there may be something wrong with my game... I was doing fine until I decided to do the first heirloom quest and then after i took out all the azunites in the surrounding rooms I solved the riddle and entered the heirloom room... about 5 seconds later my entire party was wiped. The undead azunite archer hero is lvl 45, 45!!!!!! the other azunites are lvl 28 at the most, I got past on my second try by using the invulnerability power and just running past him but I've encountered two more guys later on, why are they so freaking high level?

That is strange!!

I'm just about to do family heirloom myself so I'll go into the crypt on Friday and see if I have the same problem.
Can't think of anything else.

Not strange.

Tough yes, but not strange. The lvl 45 Azunite Hero (archer or warrior) was added with the BW batch. It is meant to be damn hard. Sorta like doing the Blacksmith quest or the Aminlu Arena quest.

So, be assured that it is not a bug. Just the way the game is.

I disagree, it is tough, but it's DEFINITELY strange. even if it came with BW putting a lvl 45 with lvl 28s is ridiculous

Hello

Yes he was there when I did the heirloom quest also, running BW.

Wait till you meet him in Vet when he's level 72

This really can be considered as one of the most evident bugs in v2.3/BW - even Valdis isn't level 45 in mercenary mode...!

Also due to some proprietary extra game rules (about damage stepping depending on level difference) it's almost impossible to fight/win against a monster that is 20 levels above you.
Indeed you could win against the Undead Archer nethertheless without using cheats nor mods - just get rid of all the level 28 monsters first, then distract the Archer with a 'uselss' char/pet and run some moments later with a death/lighting/ice mage behind a wall where the Archer can't see you and then attack him from there - usually he won't looking for you.

Of course this is also a little (AI) cheat, but it's still hard work - you will need much mana and in particular a lot of time since your spell damage will be reduced down to ~10% by these extra game rules.

Actually there is a remarkable number of these hasty errors in v2.3/BW (...and this post is already one year old) - missing set labels, botchy code rows, wrong armor requirments, ...

Honestly, it's not really grave but for experienced players it may become more distracting because through the hole game you may encounter these things that obviously shouldn't be as they exist. That's why the Aranna Legacy mod will fix most oft these errors (although it never was intended as a 'patch mod' or so).
Supposed now you are familar with installing mods it also would help you with the missplaced level 45 archer.

I found Lvl45 Mage Hero in crypt on Vet.

lvl 98 in elite ^^

still doesnt matter that much, just run around, kill the other monsters, grab the deathmask and get out of there

.

But the funny part is where you expect the archer/mage of the high lvl to drop something nice for you, and then he just drops gold (which has no value after doing merc)

I've gotten through the "Family Heirloom" quest twice now for the mercenary mode in BW and I didn't have the lvl 45 Undead Azunite hero either time. I did run into the lvl 45 in one of the deathmask frozen crypts on my first time through. I'm not quite there yet this time around.

Update: I completed the Burial Crypts and acquired the 4 death masks and I didn't run into a lvl 45 Undead Azunite Hero or Archer. I did run into one in the catacombs right before the boss fight with the Dark Wizard to free Eva.

I've just completed the 4 death mask crypts and so far I've run into 3 Lvl 72 Undead Azunite Heros.

I must say they are a lot easier on Vet than they were on Merc.

I've had no problem defeating them and my level has been at least 15 levels below them.

I just keep him occupied with my 2 fighters and keep hitting him with powers. My fighters take no damage.
