about the special spawn

[Brulis]

ok, so i killed the special spawn of the Jutu (Warlord Zulkar) and it seems that i cant capture him, there nos message about he fleed or any thing. I saved before killing him, so i attempted to beat him an other time and same thing happen. Is it possible that i already killed him, received something for freeing him then he can respawn again with no possibility of capturing him again?
Or just a simple bug?

 

[mergaite]

its gamble if you will capture him or not. some time i capture 9/10 spawns but some time i can hardly eaven get 1 moustly its your luck.  olsu i read that its hard to capture them if there is more then 1 battle or the spawn doesnt have 100%
Hope that helps

 

[Brulis]

the spawn is at 100% and like i said, i reveived no message about him getting away !

Brulis, did you jump in on a battle? Joining a battle will result in no capture and no escape message

Those damn supervillians.

not always, unless the mechanics are different for unique spawns and lords.

It is, you won't even get the escape message if you join a battle against a unique spawn. This has caused me quite some irritation on several occasions.

When I started riding head first, lead the charge, right into the spawn lord( because they lead their army and are at the head of the pack)---- If you lance him --you get him. Thats the way it seems to me, because when someone else knocks them out I dont get him. Thats just a theory and my common practice for spawn armys.

I'd have to check to see if the Mercs act the same way as the other ones
I'd always assumed it was the same, but maybe they are different.

When he says "Join a battle" he means Join a battle that's already in progress. You need to make sure the specialty spawn is not engaged with anyone if you want a chance to capture it.

And while you still can be lucky to get the capture roll as second or third party joining the fray, your chances, loot and prisoners are highest if you get first pickings (=initiate the battle) with proper forces.

Theres so much wrong in this thread. Do you guys give that wrong information on purpose so the games not getting easy enough for newcomers because they think they'd have to kill them all alone?
I always get the lords and unique heroes when i join the battle.
I even do that on a regular basis, like luring wolfbode into ravenstern lords and then engage.
Never had any problems, even if theres a 1000 vs 100 with 3 enemy lords and 10 friendly lords involved i get all of the potential prisoners.

Yup. And it´s because you worship luck and sacrifce each day to her. But there are more defiant people around with little patience and an ill stroke of luck and those may appreciate some tips in order to increase their chances to acquire a qualis gems.

Apart from that, the gems are totally overrated.

 

[Brulis]

No, i havent joined a battle, i was the only one against him... By the way, the problem is solved, i followed him for about 3 days before i fight him back, then i captured him ! Still dont know what was the problem, but its ok now

 

[noosers]

He needs to be over the wounded treshold as well the moment you engage battle. The wounded treshold is e.g. the amount of health (%) a NPC on the party screen needs to go from red to standard status.

If the unique spawn is below that value, you can´t capture him despite a successful capture roll as he won´t participate in battle. It shouldn´t show up in the first attack wave in that case.
