Talk:Olias

Why cant prophecies players get him? :(
 * Do you mean Factions players? Prophecies players can. If the former, then I guess that would be the trade off for the assassin hero, Zenmai --Fox Bloodraven 06:08, 23 November 2006 (CST)
 * My Ritualist has him. You need Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall for a Canthan character to get him. -- Gorfax Silverdale

Did anybody else catch what he says during the Garden of Seborhen, when he talks about Melonni's nightmares? It sounded funny, but I didn't manage to read it before it faded away. Something about a bedtime story. --Kit Engel 22:33, 8 November 2006 (CST)

Put any type of N/Mo_Minion_Master build on him, he does an absolutely fabulous job keeping the minions up. -- Zolos 137.219.19.240 01:38, 16 November 2006 (CST)

Does anyone have problems with him running off and aggroing stuff? None of my other hero's do this except for this slaphead. - Mcmullen 13:51, 26 November 2006 (CST)
 * Nope. None of mine does anything of that sort. -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 07:58, 27 November 2006 (CST)


 * He does have a kamikaze streak at times, despite being set to guard. I notice that often he seems to want to do dash off towards mobs to exploit a corpse well outside of the aggro bubble Fox Bloodraven 09:06, 1 December 2006 (CST)


 * Make sure his AI is set to "Guard", not "Fight". I've had this problem when attempting to pull. If they're set to "Fight", even if you've planted a flag, they'll charge right in after you attack. If they're set to "Guard" they won't leave the flag until the enemy is fairly close. Similarly, if he's set to Guard, he might not be so quick to rush forward.

 * Another thing, make sure he doesn't have Heal Area. He certainly will rush over to the minions and try to heal them with it if he has it, and that almost always puts him squarely in harm's way. Have him take Blood of the Master instead. Arshay Duskbrow 05:17, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Yeah, Olias does bad with HA/KHC, he'll spam it whenever the minions lose health, which is... ever time it recharges. I'll be adding endgame quotes to every character I have acess to, starting with Olias, when I can catch them anyway. I saw this page and noticed his post-game quote wasn't here, as well as many of the other characters, so I screen them now when they say 'em. IE Olias talks about Grenth, Sousuke about exploring Elona, etc. -Kamahl
 * Nice. Thanks. I'll add any spoiler tags as necessary. Btw, not considering registering yourself as a user so you'll get the credit for your contributions? -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 08:48, 17 December 2006 (CST)

Idle Quotes
Olias has an idle quote that goes "People who live deeply have no fear of death." I assume it's one that doesn't correspond to a storyline point, but could someone confirm before adding it to the article? For reference, Olias was on a Tyrian that has not progressed in Nightfall. In addition, he has an idle quote I saw that I'm sure does matter on storyline point. It was something about how he thinks they have better use of their time than putting off a few thousand deaths in Istan for a little while. Capcom 05:47, 17 January 2007 (CST)
 * Haven't seen it but there's no harm adding it. These quotes that doesn't seem to correspond to the storyline might still do; it could just be that there's no direct and obvious relation. Also, FYI, Balwin also noted that for non-NF characters, prior to completing Consulate Docks, the quotes that come up seems to be randomly selected from one the previous primary quests.

This is kinda off-subject, but I just really want to say that anything that Olias says is GOLDEN. One of the best-designed/written characters in the game IMO. Wgasa 04:59, 5 February 2007 (CST)

MM
He is a very good MM. ALtough my Olias is ^^. -- S i  g  m  a   03:50, 25 January 2007 (CST)
 * Yes, the necro AI can manage minions quite well, so you can expect the same from Master of Whispers as well. -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 06:22, 25 January 2007 (CST)

Getting to Lion's Arch
I have Prophecies, how do I get to Lion's Arch on a Nightfall character? Clicking the boat on the map to travel only shows the Great Temple of Balthazar --Fry 19:01, 25 February 2007 (CST)
 * You need to play through the NF campaign for a bit first. Specifically, complete the The Time is Nigh primary quest, then get the Terror in Tyria quest. -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 19:57, 25 February 2007 (CST)

Problem with minion limit
I have Olias set as MM, and he does just fine. But for some reason, his minion count won't go above 9. When he raises the tenth minion, one dies to keep the number at 9, just like when player mm's have a cap at 10. Anyone know why?
 * Did you upgrade his headgear with Superior Death Magic rune? -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 19:35, 4 March 2007 (CST)
