InDivinity: Original Sin 2, Lord Linder Kemm’s vault isguarded by three Lucian’s Automatons, each with the ability to resurrect itself when killed. These automatons patrol the vault, and they can be extremely challenging to take down due to their immense health pool and the frustration that arises when they resurrect back with full health.
Since these enemy types are only found in Lord Linder Kemm’s vault, the lack of fighting experience against them can leave you befuddled as traditionalcombat strategiesfail to beat them. However, there’s one skill up your sleeve that turns out to be a kryptonite to these seemingly invincible foes.
Deprive The Automatons Off Source
The first time one of these Automatons goes down,they enter an invulnerable state for two turns, and one of your companions will comment on the invincibility of these entities, stating that as long as there isSourceflowing through them, you cannot beat them. This is your clue to defeating these guardians.
In the second act of the game, when you obtain the second Source point, you’ll have the opportunity to perform Meister Siva’s ritual to speak to your God andlearn the Source Vampirismskill. This skill allows you toconsume spirits, corpses, and even steal Source from living charactersto restore your Source. However, the game does not tell you that Source Vampirism can also be used on constructs, which can prevent you from using the skill on these mechanical entities.
When it comes to defeating Lucian’s Automatons, you must use the Source Vampirism while they are in the process of resurrecting. Since Source Vampirism is an innate skill, likeSpirit Vision, it has no specific skill requirements to cast, making it accessible to every companion in your party.
Do bear in mind that you must be in a 6m radius of the resurrecting Automations to cast the skill effectively.
