scientiae: You mean the last battle? Just keep moving sideways. Right (and down a bit?). (There are a couple of street fights before you find the locale.)
Not sure if there is a way to increase critical magic attacks, except to increase chance to hit as with
Wisdom and
Spellcasting, because there is no information available (just checked engine 3,
HK).
So, it may be:
- related to
Wisdom and
Spellcasting,
- based on
Spellcasting (like
Melee weapon increases the critical chance for
Close Combat),
- based on
Ranged Attack (as a function of
Quickness), or
- determined completely randomly.
Bear in mind that each engine does some things differently. For instance, in the second engine if you install augmentations that decrease your
Essence, and then replace them with newer cybernetics that consume less
Essence, the PC does not regain the difference; this is in contrast to the third engine, which does. Is this a bug or a feature — who can say?
No not the last battle. If you go into the building down the bottom right of the starting map you can get some information about some kind of power substation that you're supposed to be able to interact with but I can't even find it. I'm sure it's not the final battle because once you enter the building where the final battle takes place it says you've failed the 'visit substation' objective.
