5 mages?? :p (spoiler)
i'd just finished story on hard yesterday (havent played snes version). it's fun. wondering what's up with 5 mages in caryard :o

when i first met king i'd enough money to pay him but thought ♥♥♥♥ you plus whoever put me in situation. couldnt kill him first ofc so decided to grind up ranged combat and dodge. looked pretty doable but after couple enemies in arena it all shifted to checking how far i can actually get fighting :) so i got to 5 mages and bang... like invisible barrier. had to level up ranged combat pistols dodge body to max and even biotech to 1/2 max to beat them and only managed on map with heavy cover. anyone'd similar experience?

guess this's not what most people're expected to do and probably could've finished earlier if disarm works on casters but i consider that cheese (no weapon involved) so didnt try. you only need to kill 3 mages out of 5 but still. otoh i got to play shadowrun with hundreds of karma and practically infinite money afterwards :D

Technically, you only need to kill one of the mages. The real one. The rest of them are 'clones'.

Planned enhancment for the scene includes a animatic of them cloning, and a by "difficulty setting" of clone combat efficiency. I believe lower difficulties will also include a clone hit/kill rather than the current 'fight them all forever' mechanic.

So I guess it's me you can hate for that encounter? (Shrug)

nah there's no hate was simply curious whether it's put in there to discourage further fighting :p because on me it'd just opposite effect :)

Nope. He's (they're?) beatable. The king is the last available fight in the arena.

It's a recreation of the original game... Which had a cloning mage too. I never played the original game either... So im going off my co-authors knowledge, my google-fu let's play searches, and "yeah, I don't like that so I'll do..." Instincts.

Howdy,
As Dave already mentioned, you only need to kill the right one. The real mage makes clones of himself so once he dies all the others poof. (I look forward to whatever animation Dave comes up with to make this more clear when he has time to).

That mage fight is also the final fight in the Arena. Once you beat them, there's only the King left.

Its also expected that you grind up for karma (based on the original). I believe fight 7 is around where it starts getting harder. Personally I usually fight the king, leave the caryards, buy better gear and then face the last few fights.

I'm glad you appreciated the challenge!
