JA and JA2 are now on sale @ GOG. I've never played any of them when they came out back in the 90s. Are the GOG versions the best way to play those games? JA doesn't seem to have a 1080p support and I've read version 1.13 is the best.

Steam has something called JA2: Gold and apparently there's JA: Back in Action which apparently is a remake, but I can't find meaningful info on the Wiki.

I prefer to shop on GOG because of their DRM-free policy, is the VOG version the latest?

This is all Core main campaign. Yesterday, I killed the Songbird with Weird and today I pestered the chain because all demons must die. Naturally, Nahyndri's ghost appears, and this MF is incorporeal, therefore immune to Precise Attacks, Crits, halves all physical damage and is immune to 80% of the CC spells (and he flies, of course, which covers the other 20% of CC). Fine, I guess, I have Guarded Hearth and Mark of Justice, I got this. I also have a Ghost Touched Light Mace (it does pitiful damage). So, there I go, confident I got this.

NO! MF has 3 friend and the Songbird alone takes 2 rounds to die which allows Big N to cast Abyssal Storm and Contageous Rage. Now, Abyssal Storm is 50/50 Lightning and Unholy damage and there's no way to resist Unholy damage. Yeah. And then Contagious Rage makes everyone except Sosiel Confused because the DC is way too high. I am calm, because Sosiel has both Joyful Rapture and Unbending Heart. Of course, THEY DO FUCKING NOTHING! No effect at all! I double checked and Contageous Rage isn't keyworded as an Emotion effect!? WHY? The fuck? It makes no sense!

Anyways, I'd appreciate any tips. Killing Star Rattle is a non-issue. Killing the Songbird is an issue, because Weird works like 50% of the time and if she doesn't die in the first round, it buys Big N enough time to cast Contagious Rage which is GG. Is there anything that allows dispelling or suppressing negative effects of they aren't keyworded?

Edit: Summons are also useless because Abyssal Storm obliterates them. So, no cannon fodder for me.

Dispelling also doesn't work, even with the goggles, I guess MD has a CL of 1 billion.

Shield of Law also doesn't do shit because Contagious Rage doesn't have Mind Affecting descriptior.

Asmodeus is great! So, basically, Ignitiel the angel has an AC of 62 and a comparable attack. Regill and my MC have an AC in the 60s and Regill has an AB of 45 (my MC is a Crusader, so AB is 35). I don't get the chance to apply quick buffs (anything lasting less than hours), I can't pre-buff and the angels cast Antimagic Field, which prevents buffs and Ray attacks. What can I do to win in this situation? Ignitius is killing me in 3 blows, I can't heal, Mark of Justice doesn't work, Instant Enemy+Ranger's Bond doesn't work, Guarded Hearth won't work (I guess). I can't summon fodder unless I use items either and then the Tankard Azata and angles/demons from the Duality item are ignored. Help! Difficulty is Core.

Edit: AB provided is before Heroic Invocation and short-term buffs like Prayer, Inspiring Command, Bard songs and so on. Similarly, AC does not take into account Fighting Defensively, Ring of the Duelist, etc. bonuses. I cannot Dispel the Antimagic Field either. Also all angels that are not Ignitiel show their stats as 0. I guess I have to kill Ignitiel first?

Edit 2: does someone know which Toybox option allows me to insta kill enemies?

I'm in Act V and I've gathered 3 Tomes that boost stats permanently and I received the Potion of Body and Mind that boosts all stats with +2 permanently. I know there's an item in Dance of Masks that provides a +4 All boost and Potion of Humanity that adds +1 to all.

So the question is: do any of these stack? I've been holding on these items for a few hours now because I want to give my KC the biggest boost, but I feel it's time to distribute some of them around?

I us TTT if that matters, I know it changes some of the stacking rules.

Title. Changed Mythic Path to Devil and now all Aeon Gazes have 0 charges and do not recharge after resting. Bane and the Aeon spells are working as intended though. Information on Devil is very limited, I believe I should be able to use Gazes though? Otherwise Devil would be ever weaker. I have the strange theory that having 3 perpetual Gazes activated at all times while swapping paths is what broke it for me (should have disabled them, maybe)?

Anyway, if this is a bug, does anyone know how can I force-recharge the Gazes via Toybox?
