I played this when the game first came out and had trouble then, too. How do I get past all the kikimores in the queen's lair in ch.3? I know I'm supposed to use the aard sign on the supports but the horde of kikimores block my way and I'm caught between them and the queen. I need to get on the other side of the horde before I use the sign. Any suggestions? I'm tired of dying and reloading.

Hi Rowan

I only ever managed it by running - immediately I got control back after the cut scene - without trying to fight off any of the kikimores.

That gave me enough of a lead (just !!) to make it to the right spot to use my sign.

Never managed it first try, though, either time I played the game

Mad, you must be a faster runner than I am. I just can't run any faster. However, I finally did make it but had to fight my way through. I just inched my way until I could run around one of the warrior kikimores. Then I turned and aarded them all. I enjoy a challenge but not a frustration. Thanks again.

Rowan, so glad you got it. Onwards and upwards!

Congratulations, that's the hardest fight in the whole game. It took me half a dozen tries to finally figure it out. I finally got a system that works maybe one third of the time. When I get access to the player I put it on hold and find an empty space right by the exit door and click on it. If I do it right he will run to that spot dodging the kikimores and then I can travel on from there but it is hard.

Thanks, everyone. Nice to know that the hardest part of the game is behind me.

Brilliant, Rowan !!
