Pathfinder: Kingmaker Question/Tips & Tricks Thread

Anyone know where I can get some better cold iron weapons? I'm trying to tackle the Crag Linnorm and I'm getting owned. I only have one cold iron weapon, a dagger +1. Other than that I'm buffing my party like crazy (protection from fire etc.) and trying to distract the Linnorm with summons. Got him(?) down to about half health but then he seems to kick into high gear.
Is there any way to reduce it's super high natural armour?

You might have to come back later if you're not strong enough yet to deal with the Linnorm. Verdel at the capital sells some cold iron +1 stuff, but it's only necessary as purpleblob said, when the creature is down, you finish it off with the cold iron weapon.
I made quick work of it after I got Nok-Nok and used Inspire Ferocity with Amiri, which makes the whole party Rage. Believe it or not I killed the thing in about 3 seconds, lol. But I was higher level so you might want to come back a bit later. If you want to explore the cave maybe you can drink an Invisibility potion and avoid the Linnorm for now…

We are at level 8 currently. Too low?
Edit: I googled it, the linnorm is level 16.

The cold weapon you only need once it's down and regenerating, but some spells (vine trap, disintegrate) and stat drain with poison also work.

The game breaking bug I experienced was fixed, so I could complete the game a second time. Got the secret ending now, which was pretty cool. The end fight still has a few bugs in it, but at least it was doable now without lowering the difficulty.
I'm almost tempted to start a 3rd character, as I found the new class really cool, but the game is simply too big for that.

in spoiler tag.I'm still trying to get my head around Kineticist. Any tip on how to build this class?
All I got was, every time they use special ability they get burn, so it's good to have decent amount of constitution (I think?)
@Lemonhead I managed to kill Crag Linnorm with my level 8 party but it took several tries. I think having Linzi (bard song buff) and Jubilost (those bombs!) really helps, as long as you can keep Valerie (tank) alive.

However, you can also use something called "harness power" (gained a bit later on) in lesser, medium or greater form (if you are unarmed), which negates 1, 2 or 3 burns per cast, but it takes a while to charge blasts using it. However, it does mean that you can cast one blast per round that is empowered and uber charged for 0 burns, and it will deal 150-200 damage a pop.
They can also use blasts to create a weapon based on the blast. So a frost blast will create a frost weapon, which can use either strength or dexterity (with weapon finesse) as its hit chance.
All damage, including such weapons, is based on constitution, unless you're using an archtype that uses either intellect (dark elementalist) or wisdom (psycho-something).
Personally, I prefer a plain Kineticist or Kinetic Knight (tank), as they can both pump Dexterity and Constitution to incredible levels. Dexterity is used for the blasts (ranged touch attack) and weapons (weapon finesse) and the Constitution determines the damage. The combination of Dexterity and Constitution, in addition to certain unique defensive feats they get (based on elemental focus), makes them surprisingly tanky.
Their "spells", beyond the blasts, are gained from their elemental focus. Water, for example, gets a very strong heal. However, all such spells require at least 1 burn point, even with harness power enabled, so they can only be used a limited amount of times.
They have two major drawbacks:
- Their skill selection is somewhat lacking. Don't expect them to contribute much in that regard.
- They generally only get one attack off per round, which deals Finger of Death levels of damage, but if it misses or the enemy is immune, they do no damage at all.

@Maylander
That is so cool, damn, I will have to try to unlock the secret ending myself this time
I didn't play warlock much, I only did when Ammon Jerro joins the party in NWN2. Thanks for the explanation, maybe I will play around with my tiefling companion more now

In retrospect, I think giving your designated "skill checkers" the corresponding skill focus feats pays off. I gave one of the persuasion feats to Linzi and the boost was really helpful, especially since you gain so much xp from passing checks.

It's actually pretty easy to find once you know where it is based in previous playthroughs. Just run around the "box" with high perception. I found it this time around without any hassle at all.

1.2 beta is live! Just check out Steam for the details. I installed because it's really no different than a really big hotfix rolling out. I suggest you guys check it out.
