Magicka - Alternative Yeti Strategy

[EdolasMystogan]

E+D+F+F+F, flaming rock wall, burns them like they are paper.

[grefog]

or you can get the Charm magyk from Vlad's castle and have them fight eachother. it works on the beholders also, along with most other beings even the dwarven spellcasters. then just burn them or throw rocks until they are dead. easiest way i have ever found.

[razielospl]

water, ice, macleod sword :P that's my tactic when i focus on mele attacks

[spatzist]

EDDDDD-middleclick. They can't do shit to you when you have earth armour up. No eating, no spell interruption- hell, they can't even actually hurt you (just your armour), so you can flick a pebble at them and cast death to finish the job.

[AXharoth]

cool

do u know u can boost sheild with heal mines faster

[Bqosmio]

Whenever I call death or at least used to. I haven't played this for ages. Death would always kill me...

[mahram]

After you put up your shield, toss some nice mines right on top of the jerks.

[allexx100]

My tactic is

QRREAS on weapon, then RUN!

[varmdoguy]

Where do u get Teleport?

[Hanleyman2]

@varmdoguy teleport is in the area where this video is, at 0:07 you can see two pathways, the one to the bottom of the screen leads to the teleport spell

[varmdoguy]

@Hanleyman2 noo, I found out that the teleport spell is on the bridge to the eastern tower of castle Aldrheim!

[Hanleyman2]

@varmdoguy omg your right, i was thinking of invisibility! sorry

[iwatchedraysnewvid]

>implying summon death has any strategy to it.

[Haihaihallo]

my tac is simple.

Step 1:

QFASA QFASA BAM DED YETI

Step 2: Repeat step one

[FlippieX]

why has everyone such a difficult strategy??? enemies cant move by lightning. AS+shift is all you needed. One funny detail, Yeti's won't pick you up if you are on fire :P. But AS+shift is enough

[FHomeBrew]

1: SARE On self.

2: QQRSSE on weapon and swing away.

3: QRRASE on weapon and swing away.

You can also area-cast the latter two. They'll turn anything into ice cubes and proceed zapping them.

[monsterrun]

my method is simple

1: rse space = fear.

2: derrr shift+left click, left click. in direction of the fearfull yeti XD

3: make it rain or just blow some water to them.

4: redo step 2

alternative is fear, grease, light it on XD then let the yeti go throught it then use fear again XD.

[monsterrun]

use fear on yeti r s e space

[AiecZander]

Or...get a real sword and pick up the Frozen Cleaver ;) 1 hit freeze?? whoa

[gthkeno]

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE DEATH, THAT WAS GIVEN! also just use armor.

[WoWZhen]

Put earth armour on. They can't pick you up.

FQASA = spam lightning bolts

Or QRDSE + Shift Click, fires a line of arcane-imbued frost crystals that do loooaads of damage.

[Sparkesix]

or just use SEQFS ...

[simel100]

OR YOU CAN JUST USE ASF AND RUN ..

[1927Morris]

You can cast an aoe shield then use fire+fire+fire+fire+shield on the yetis

[MrScootify]

Vortex also kills everything instantly, including bosses.

For the yeti's, I just learnt how to quickly spam thunderbolts, and while inside I channeled steam and lightning beams.

[coradking]

how did u hit them while u are in shield

[InuYashaMart]

I just used invisibility and ran away ...

[iwatchedraysnewvid]

I killed fafnir with death. Also an easier strategy would be to freeze the yeti's

[gamejockey]

cast ice+shield on yourself.  Then the yetis won't pick you up.

[Darusdei]

i just spam fear :D

[Veehmot]

You know you can destroy the shield by placing it again, right?

[ToaXP]

u can use it on boss fights, but it will go right for you. however i got lucky on the khan fight and he knocked me back just as death swung at me... and death one shot khan... lol

[ThePhriek]

I just Fear them.. then do whatever i want....

[LemonsRgo]

Death goes for any unit with the lowest HP. This includes bosses and allies. So when you use this spell, make sure you and your allies have 100% HP and the enemies have anything less than that and you're good to go =D

[MrZdrastvuite]

is the spell usable in a boss fight ?

[jordi1232]

i tried this, but the onlt one death kills is me -.-"

[necromancer263]

thats the pussy way, what i do is wait till they eat me, then i kill them from their inside with qfqfasa

[Snallis]

how did you extend the duation of the shield, heal it?

[lukewilkilu]

@Snallis you press space over an over and it regenerates your shield 

[Snallis]

@lukewilkilu ty =)

[lukewilkilu]

@Snallis enjoy killing xd

[Snallis]

@lukewilkilu I will, I certainly will ;)

[LantonSL]

@Dreadjet Death kills the person/ target who has lesser health. You need to lower your target's health before casting it, if your target is on full health, it kills you instead.

[Magnetohydrodynamics]

replace the boosted sheild with an iron ring barrier (edddd)

[taurusclimber]

Something easier - DQ, then DR, then SRA. Hit him with a water bomb, a frost bomb, and set up your beam. Or, if you can time it right, water bomb straight to the Frost/Electric beam.

[The10284]

death always kills me :P

[MazunaLegacy]

@The10284 he goes for the person on least health, if everyones 100% he goes for you, problem solved!

[rploeger]

arse mines + shield?

[legion999]

The developers deserve a punch in the gut for letting the yetis insta-kill you. I mean, a boss, Death at that, one-shotting you? Fine. But these bastards? Fuck off

[Jinxownzu]

@legion999 Dude, I didn't even fight them. Teleport to the door, use flame, you're done. And they never attack you again.

[IJUSTWANNACOMMENT1]

@Jinxownzu

Yeah but then you miss the hidden spell in the area:)

[AiecZander]

@legion999 The Yeti's are based of off an old game called SkiFree that came with Windows 95' -- If a Yeti got you in that game there was no escape :)

[ToBeVerified]

It's very east if you make a shield like in this movie and just deploy fire shields outside (from the inside). Just keep the shield strength up at all cost :P

[pmanderson]

@ToBeVerified Dude, that strategy is GOLD! I just tried it out, and it's by far the easiest way to deal with 'em so far.

[kingtaro]

Another option: Rock wall around yourself > ThunderBolt.

Or if you have an "Invisibility staff", which is my favourite, just go invisible and walk them by, they won't even come out the forest.

[darkhoras]

Just luck.Death has random target priority.So you are just lucky

[ZeBalas91]

@darkhoras but if you teleport, Death won't hit you

[darkhoras]

@ZeBalas91

Agree, but he didn't teleport. So just luck =)

But i know,that if death wanna kill you,you must teleport =)

[wrathi]

@darkhoras That is true, however it was fun doing so :)

[Sparkesix]

WTF at 0:40 ... why the hell Death didn't target him instead of Yeti?

[Xacceh]

Just use Haste to get past em, then teleport inside. :D

[wooxrenato]

i used charm and they fight each other, then i kill both

[ShadowFlummer]

Thunder bolt! <3

[youdontneedone]

I WAS STUCK ON THIS BIT FOR SO LONG :)

(bleigh) XD

[753345]

last time the death killed me in this situation.. i dont trust him anymore...by the way the stupid yeti's can get you behind the shields.... :(

[Neetro32]

if you set yourself on fire they can't eat you

[blackmarketgaming]

wtf... people actually kills these... i just ran by all and teleported threw wall.

[sourzzon]

for cancel the magic shield u made, u can create one small shield cross the old one, then both of them will dispear

[Broadsmile1987]

@sandorszaby91 ASF, then summon death - if it goes to you, run away and repeat

[IstopwhenIdrop]

this game is very fun if you'd ask me, the sense of humour and the action is this game is just really great, also I think the characters speak norwegian or something in this game it sounds really funny two.

Only 10 Euro's on steam, you guys should buy it if you haven't already!

[TheQhozt]

I single i just run and port on the other side of that door

[Madhijz]

In multiplayer we wet em, freeze em and then one of us powerslashes it( qfsaa on sword)

[Rezorrand]

@sandorszaby91 Death kills the one closest to death.

[WarriorOfSeaHD]

Or you can just cast raise dead, the poison slows them down so much its easy

[Jesperagath]

heh,all i do is cast invisibility and run

[mimeywimey]

QSQSQ AoE then SASAR AoE spam kills them

[Lulzmaker]

You don't need to destroy shield with damage.

Just cross it with another shield - they will cancel each other.

[Imp4l4]

QFED AOE

And then Lightning them is more faster

[INRmusic]

I succeeded by casting an Earth shield, then blasting each Yeti with Lightning Bolt. Relatively quick way to dispatch them, and the rock barrier serves well in keeping you protected. Of course Lightning Bolt doesn't work when you get under a roof, but the Earth shield still works well to protect you.

[merlec0rey]

i killed em with freezing sword, 1st stab-freze (it saves even if they catch you), and 2nd stab with smth like qfqfqfas - makes 7k damage

[MrRolnicek]

You know I always used fear on them and shot them in the back. The're not that dangerous when they're running away. Charm also works well.

[kilplixpwnslol]

easier way... 4xd 1x e and put those in front of him , run to the door voila :D

[brotherzero]

EASIESTEST WAY: EDDDD shift middle mouse to cast a rock armor on yourself, then QRQRQRQRD charged to the maxed.... teleport away, rinse repeat... works indoors...

[Westy543]

How do you scroll through magick tooltips like that? 

[FullAutoAngelo]

I panic on Yeti's a lot. I just repeatedly refresh EDDDF and try to think of something while they burn for a little while. Does QQQED followed by QERAA work?

[Intrexa]

Light yourself on fire, they won't nom you. Of course, then you're on fire tho.

[Brhoom990]

EASYEST WAY : Cast Rain before each one and prepare thunder bolt ... 10k problem solved

[The111DooD]

I've only played against the snow trolls in challenge mode but holy crap they're dangerous. If I came up against them playing with someone I know, a valid tactic would beam one of us cold beams and the other water beams. But that'd only work against one at a time.

[pmanderson]

I fucking hate these things. I don't think I've ever found a level this hard in a game before. Atleast not in a really long time.

[HateGogleAndApple]

NAH. Easiest way:

DDDDE+Shift (rocks around you)

FQASA (lighting bolt) x2

Doesnt work inside buildings

[4eign]

guys guys guys... use fear... time warp... FQFQSAA when 2 at the same time.. repeat but while you are killing one of the yetis with the spell combination mentioned cast another fear cause if the yeti you are trying to kill is not dead yet it will get caugh by the fear again

[fanirama]

Use nullify magick to cancel shield

[MEhzs]

@fanirama Or just cast another shield to cancel it out.

[Valjin]

is it a bug or something i have where when i heal myself i just lose life insteed?

[martinsch]

@Valjin

I bet you are using Vlads Weapon

[Valjin]

@martinsch i was but even when i switched it with the lightning immunity staff nothing changed, still had the glove effects, but when I got to the chamber were you get holy divider , it changed

[packingpacking]

@martinsch

I did pick up the damn glove, but the healing is still killing me after I change weapon. this makes things alot worse -.- do you know how to remove this? Oh, and btw, i tried the same thing first time, on what they do in this video. but death always killed me first ....

[martinsch]

@packingpacking

Hm, maybe its a bug with vlads glove :/

And the strategy on this vid is not that good, its just an alternative. the death kills the one with the lowest hp and if everyone has 100% he kills u. and the yetis reg to fast. better kill them with water/steam +frost(+undead+lightning) if u have problems there^^

[proshadow2552]

@martinsch Yea I agree with dkandreasprip. when i first got it i wanted to get rid of it so bad cause its terrible in singleplayer! When I changed it, I kept losing health. So, when i got into the building of the dwarf army after you get in, I first got past the first 2 levels after you get to the part where you face the whole dwarf army, I believe its a checkpoint. From there I already had another staff and I killed myself. Respawned and it was fine

[dkandreasprip]

@packingpacking i had the same problem and heres wat did it for me:

just grab another staff go to the nearest checkpoint and activate it, then kill yourself and when you respawn with the new staff the effects of the gauntlet should be negated

[stillborn2]

Nice strategy, but too much hazzle. I steamrolled them using earth barrier and super steam lightning beam. Once you destroy the earth barrier, the gap isn't big enough for the yetis to get through, so you can basically just stand there firing your laser :D Or make it even more hardcore and soak them with a 5x water aoe and then freeze them with a 5x cold aoe. Then you pew pew your lasers once again.

[MrAman47]

that's one "hackin' " awesome spell :)



[CoilCode]

How do you make death hit something other then yourself?

[Chillsmack]

@CoilCode

When you summon Death, he goes after whomever has the lowest amount of life. So if you heal up and use Shield so the yeti's hit each other, they'll all have less life and Death will always go after them

[Anonib]

1) it's easier to heal your shield with heal bombs (shield + heal + shift m2). the heal bombs also overheal your shield, making it practically invincible

2) you can cast a shield over the previous shield, and the two shields will cancel. No need to destroy the shield using arcane bombs

[k1awdttt]

Super aggro mage tank :)
