First time meeting Kalom and the sleeper i just had the sword with the ore in it. i then noticed i couldnt go to circle 6 for the circle of death. well i went back and got the rune instead of the sword since i got to circle 6. now that im fighting the sleeper with the rune i find it much harder cuzz u have to charge the rune. SO.. should i battle with the rune? or go back and battle with the sword. im not sure whats gonna happen after i beat the sleeper if keeping the rune would help if the game continues after the sleeper battle. please dont tell any spoilers, just give me advice from your on experiance with the game.
Im lvl 38

ps. is the ore sword worth using on anything in temple after the rune is takin cuzz the runes the only thing that will hurt anything down battle the sleeper and the demons.


hints suggestions would be helpful

These questions canīt be answered without spoilers.
Uriziel (or the rune) is needed to kill fanatic templars.
You donīt have to fight the Sleeper.

It just depends on your stats. Are you master of two handed swords? Do you have high strenght? Then sword is better.
Do you have high max. mana, do you have enough exp. points to learn 6th circle? Then maybe rune is better.

Generaly:
- sword is stronger when fighting one enemy
- rune is stronger when fighting multiple enemies

In final stages you will need both, you will encounter multiple but also strong single enemies. So its just matter of taste and of clever joice in light of your stats :smile:

yes i understand that im not fighting the sleeper itself. the demons. im trained in 2h swords but not master. when i went down to fight kalom the first time i saved it when i had circle 5 with ore in sword. i beat kalom with the sword and some followers. during battle i had to turn a run, when running i was jumpin and fell off into lava.

so then i loaded up and went and got the rune and cir.6 the rune works great on Kalom and his crew. just fighting the demons takes the rune a while to charge!.

i havnt faught the demons with the sword so im not sure. can i defeat those demons easier with the sword instead of charging?the sword was taking out high orc gaurds with 1-2 hits . should i go sword or rune? i feal that the game is gonna end after the sleeper fight from what iv read...

The Demons are definitely easier to kill with proper sword techniques, but the Rune works just fine after you figure the timing out.

(Your "charge" time)

I just summoned lots of demons and armies of the dead and waltzed up to the hearts(serious lag though).

**seriou spoiler**

I just created about three golems and a demon. when they werent destroying each other Cor Kalom was running up the golems usualy kept him far enuf away (blasting him halfway to hell each hit* and taking the occasional templar, another method is after an initial assault and kalom is beaten you can pick the templars up one by one, hitting with a crossbow and waiting for em. but thats about the only hard part of the final battle.
