Pathfinder: Kingmaker Question/Tips & Tricks Thread

Hmmm, so question. Should I make my main character pure empyreal sorcerer instead of multi classing into cleric and mystic theurge?

@ChatMiauleur you don't have to travel with companions all the time unless you plan to romance someone. However, I finished the whole game with default companions, and didn't have any issues on normal difficulty. I enjoyed having them around for a chat and also for special camping abilities

My party was:
MC: half elf crusader (cleric), secondary tank/dps/buff&heal support
Valerie: Fighter/Stalwart Defender, main tank
Amiri: Barbarian, melee dps (had to switch her around at times with Jubilost: Alchemist is pretty awesome)
Ekundayo: Ranger (his dog is really cool!), ranged dps
Octavia: Thief/Mage, ranged dps
Tristian: Cleric, buff/healbot

@purpleblob, I personally think multiclassing is more fun, but it's really your choice. Can't go wrong with the Prestige classes.

Well I guess I'll share my party right now in Chapter 5, level 12.

PC: Asirius, 5 Archaeologist/4 Rogue/3 Dragon Disciple
Valerie, 8 Tower Shield Specialist/4 Stalwart Defender
Amiri, 9 Barbarian/3 Two Handed Fighter
Nok-Nok, 12 Knife Master
Harrim, 6 Cleric/6 Sacred Huntsmaster (Inquisitor)
Octavia, 2 Rogue/4 Wizard/6 Arcane Trickster
Marty, Harrim's pet companion Mastadon

But I'm starting to try and mix companions in and out a bit more. I like Jaethal who's also 10 Inquisitor/2 Two Handed Fighter, so I'll switch her with Amiri here and there. I'd like to use Harrim less and try maybe Ekun (who I'm thinking of making into a Paladin of Torag) or Linzi, Jubilost, etc.. So many fun ways to build your party you can come up with all sorts of interesting combinations.

Hey, can I ask a spoiler-ish question about Act 5 but get a non-spoiler answer?



Thank ye in advance!

Fluent, please head straight to the tomb. I want to know what happens then.

Will do! I got extremely lucky to find the location - was just

Wow @purpleblob, you won't believe what happened!



Just…ugh. Keep me posted if you find out anything about this please.

LOL I had that bug too.

@TheRealFluent



Bit disappointed though, doesn't seem like there's anything really different to getting there on time or late. Meh

For me, I quickly headed out before he got up and started to butcher my party again. When I was outside, he was out there, all normal. Try that and see it works fine for you. Good luck!

Are you sure there's nothing different later in the game maybe? Seems weird, the word "soul" was lit up in dialogue and said because I made it there quickly, I did good essentially. Weird.

Anyway, I fixed it by restarting my PC and quicksaving during dialogue with him. Then at the end of dialogue immediately quicksaved, paused and had my party run to the other side of the room. All is good now. Whew, that was scary, lol.

This is what happened in my run:

I'll post a screenshot in a second here.

This is what it said in dialogue.



Maybe you being able to was a bug? LOL

LOL I think I had the same dialogue…. yep, a bit disappointing. I suppose, the game is designed so that most of us get there late, and it's intended we get same dialogue regardless. If you discover the place early, you just save on some time maybe?

Are you sure you got there late, though? How do you know you missed the timer?

@TheRealFluent: Made a small edit in spoiler tag, in case you missed

The quest updates saying that you failed to track down Armag before he finds what he is looking for in the tomb. I also got little cross in the journal progression (you know the sub-steps, not the overall quest).

That's crazy. That's got to be a bug then, but you're the one who got it, lol. Disappointing indeed. Ah well. Onward back to the capital! (with a bloody hand )

Ah, just saw your edit. Not sure really, but it seems like it's working as it should, it just gives you a lot of time, and the quest log was bugged.

I think what happened in my second run *could* be a bug, but hey, I'm not complaining lol. I will pay more attention to it in my third run.

Haha, yeah, something weird is going on there. But at least we know there are actually different outcomes there, and you saw them both.

@purpleblob, What questions did you try at the Inconsequent Debates? I'm wondering what they say when you ask Just curious if there's anything else hidden in that event.

How do I achieve glory and immortality? or "What's a good pet name?". I asked "Why did the fey set up this event?" and they answered "We were bored." lol

Just curious if there's anything else hidden in that event.
