Re: The Eater of the Dead: How do I stop it?

Heh, it's a really neat monster. It should have a retarded high MR considering it will most definitely bite the hand that feeds it.

Re: The Eater of the Dead: How do I stop it?

If you wouldn't prophetized him - there was a sure and simple way to stop him: resummon Eater of the Dead. Then Scary One dies and you get a brand new Eater, weak and unfeded. But prophetized Eater plays strange things with game mechanic.

Re: The Eater of the Dead: How do I stop it?

you can resummon a unique?

No, but you can resummon the Eater. In that case another existing Eater dies.

I was not aware of that

Hello, everyone. I was just wondering, HOW IN THE **** DO YOU STOP IT!?! Sorry, let me do a brief play by play.
1. I summoned The Eater of the Dead, thinking how cool it would be to have a rampaging monster that attacks my foes. :D
2. After reading the description, I stupidly think how cool it would be to give it artifacts and cast Gift of Reason on it. :angel
3. I VERY stupidly give it Nethgul the Starspawn and the Ark of the Covenant :eek:
4. I empower with level 3 astral magic to let it teleport. :cold:
5. I teleport it to a corpsey battlefield and let it eat :down:
6. I watch as it digivolves into a giant monster and make it my prophet...
7. I then watch as it goes mad with power and obliterates a 125 point mage and blessing heavy militia and a fortress. :doh:

So, I was wondering, if I hadn't given it all those artifacts anyway, how do you defeat the vanilla Eater of the Dead?
Cuz it appears to be decimating everyone on the maps' armies.

iirc, eater of the dead is a unique for c'tis, right?
a way to kill him may then be a gazilion of poison-slinger, as their attack is aoe, thus , even if blinded, they should empoison the whole battlefield.
or the eater is poison immune?

If he's empowered in astral, maybe you should try to magic duel him?

Re: The Eater of the Dead: How do I stop it?

What do you mean by a 125-point army of mages?

Re: The Eater of the Dead: How do I stop it?

I think he means 125 points of PD to be honest. He referred to extremely high PD a couple of times in this thread.
