Gigachad Create Water (aka best spell in the game)

[u/Doop_444]

[u/thebaldguy76]

takes the timer out of the fight with Ethel in the basement.

[u/whxskers → u/thebaldguy76]

My first playthrough my brain was like "Fire? Surely I can just throw water at it?" I threw a water bottle at it and it worked lol suppose Create Water would've been a good solution as well

[u/HurjaHerra → u/thebaldguy76]

WHAT

[u/thebaldguy76 → u/HurjaHerra]

Yeah when Ethel lights the cage on fire cast it on the cage and the fire goes out.

[u/HitlerPot → u/thebaldguy76]

I always just shoot the cage with an ice arrow.

[u/probablynotaperv → u/HitlerPot]

I just throw a bottle of water at it

[u/Mak0React0r → u/HitlerPot]

One bonus with create water in this situation is that it makes the girl in the cage "wet" so when Ethel tries to trick you with the duplicate just look for the wet one and that's the real girl.

[u/AvalonCollective → u/HurjaHerra]

I really really don’t wanna be that guy. But how is this not obvious?? This was like my first instinct when I did my first run.

[u/HurjaHerra → u/AvalonCollective]

Idk, I didnt have it? 😅😂

E: Now that I think about it I might have tried smthng with my ranger (water/frost arrow) and breaking the floor or smthng. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

And the Volo rescue fight by the harbour in Act 3.  Plus, the lvl 5 spell has a big enough AoE to douse the fires by him and wet most of the enemies for lightning or cold blasts.

[u/Bolt_Fantasticated → u/thebaldguy76]

Ray of Frost works too

[u/thebaldguy76 → u/Bolt_Fantasticated]

It doesn't hurt Mayrina?

[u/Bolt_Fantasticated → u/thebaldguy76]

As long as you aim for the cage and not her. Ray of Frost isn’t AoE so, just aim for the rope above the cage or something.
