Talk:Flame Djinn

Nice tips! :) --Karlos 20:42, 12 Sep 2005 (EST)

Should this be listed as a boss? While it does give a Morale Boost, you cannot use a Signet of Capture on it after you die. --Rainith 16:45, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Well, technically, you can't use any skill when you die. :) But assuming IT dies, yes, you are correct. We also need to confirm the "morale boost" in every case. (i.e. does it happen in both The Forge Heart AND Fire in the Hole?) If confirmed, then I guess it is a boss. If not then it's not. --Karlos 17:21, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I can confirm that you get a Moral Boost when killing it for the Fire in the Hole quest.
 * Another couple reasons I would not consider this a boss is that it has no colored aura. And if we call this a boss, what about the Sand Giants in the Thirsty River mission?  They give Moral Boosts when you kill them, but I wouldn't call them bosses.

 * That is an easy one to answer. Because Sand Giants are available outside that mission and killing them doesn't do much to anyone's morale. So, it's obvious that it's only a special bonus for that mission.
 * When we faced them I had DP so I can't recall if they decreased the DP or not. They could be like "Catapults" whenever you kill an engineer (only found in misisons) you get 2%. --Karlos 17:41, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * You get a morale boost from the Djinn from Fire in the Hole and the Djinns from The Forge Heart. However I tried to use a Signet of Capture on the Djinn from Fire in the Hole to get Flourish and it didn't work. Then again, I'm not sure if Signet of Capture works on Glint or the lich (or even if you get morale boosts from them), and they're generally considered bosses. Can someone check if you get a morale boost from the lich or Glint, or if you can use a signet of capture on Glint?
 * Hmm, the Lich is almost impossible to check (Cutscene then town), and Glint is almost impossible to kill. Pick your poison. :) --Karlos 20:28, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Well, I did kill her two days ago, but I didn't bring a signet (she only has monster skills anyway). As for the morale boost: I had +10% when entering the fight and died twice, so this would make -20% DP. Afterwards I was at -7% DP. How much XP do you need for the DP do decrease again? As far as the Djinn is concerned, I just automatically assumed it would be a boss, after I got the morale boost when killing it. :) --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 20:35, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * If you kill the lich when he's not standing at the center of the bloodstone I think it might technically count as a kill even though he revives and the mission continues. A necro with some points in reaping could check if it counts as a kill pretty easily. If it counts as a kill then you'll know whether killing the lich gets a morale boost or not. I'd be tempted to consider anything that has a unique sprite and gives a morale boost to be a boss. Likewise, I would consider anything that has a unique sprite and needs to be killed at the end of a mission to be a boss regardless of morale boosts, captures or auras. But that's just my opinion. It's possible that djinns might have the boss flag (or flags) set in the game code, but have an additional flag that makes them corpseless like spirits and minions, making them untargettable with Signet of Capture.

I tried blinding it and it didn't seem to prevent Consuming Flames, I'll take some henches and try it during Fire in the Hole.
 * Nope, it doesn't work, maybe they made Consuming Flames automatically hit in one of the patches.
