Weird efreeti bug

[Guest guest]

I ran across the dao and efreeti in the north forest i think its called, and the dao died easy enough but the efreeti turned into a gaseous cloud like a bat and just stayed like that on death, i was walking away and this turned into an efreeti again at full hp, so i killed it again and waited this time, and it came back again, so i killed it and waited again, it did it once more, so this time when i killed it (3rd time or so) i attacked the gaseous cloud too thinking that's what i need to do, but it took no damage and came back again, so i kept attacking the returning efreeti and about the 5/6th time it finally 'died' and gave me exp, it did not turn into a gaseous cloud on this actual death. No idea where this came from, i think i read in SCSII's version releases in readme somthing about djinni/efreet's being clouds, can't remember. Is it meant to come back so many times? you just end up corpse camping it tbh.

 

Also i noticed these 2 enemies seem strange, because normally the dao is the one with legs and the efreeti is the one that floats/has that swirling alladin type look, but it was reversed here: Dao had floating avatar and efreeti the legs, i think this is something i noticed before from vanilla game, so maybe why it wasn't changed, but maybe it should be, i don't know.

OK, it should happen (iirc) three times, so something's glitching here. I'll chase it.

I think it's an old issue genies being able to turn into gaseous form too much times...I experienced it myself with SCS but I thought it was fixed.

Both Dao and Efreeti have legs, the Djinni shouldn't have them, but vanilla's BG may have done some confusion on this matter.

In the Planar Sphere this also happens. Seems like they last forever. Easily the most durable of enemies short of guys like The Five.

 

You can take down a 500 hp dragon more quickly than them.
