Hey, everyone. I do not know what i am doing wrong. I have checked pretty much every online guide, and none of them had any advice on beating the spirit of the woods, they just say that it can be done, and what follows. No stats are given either. Anyway, no matter which weapon i use, it just has no effect.

I am playing a ranger/rogue 6/2 (as of now) and nothing i do seems to help. If anyone has any advice, it would be appreciated very much.

Thank you.

The Spirit has damage reduction:
Mathelin Datson : Initiative Roll : 8 : (4 + 4 = 8)
Mathelin Datson attacks Spirit of the Wood : *hit* : (13 + 10 = 23)
Spirit of the Wood : Immune to Sneak Attacks.
Spirit of the Wood : Damage Reduction absorbs 7 damage : 93 points remaining
Spirit of the Wood casting unknown spell
Attack Of Opportunity : Mathelin Datson attacks Spirit of the Wood : *hit* : (16 + 10 = 26)
Spirit of the Wood : Damage Reduction absorbs 6 damage : 87 points remaining

So you will need a weapon with atleast an +1 enhancement to pierce through the damage reduction, once you have the DR down you will do damage!

A question about your caracter:
Why Ranger6/Rogue2?

LVL1 Rogue (14 INT)
Then one Ranger and one Rogue LVL would net a Ranger5/Rogue3 with lots of skillpoints more and uncanny dodge as well as +1d6 of sneak damage...

If you want to go get rogue3 now you will get less EXP due to more than two levels between the classes unless your race favors the rogue class...

That's a very low level toon to go up against a Level 18 fighter/sorc with lots of tough buffs like DR and concealment plus some very nasty offensive spells and shadow summon which it will spam over and over. All the DR buffs are +5 with lots of soak so no weapons are available that will penetrate except perhaps some ranged weapons from a boss chest. The spirit is also immune to crits.

I suppose if I was forced to engage it at so low level I would start combat long enough so it uses most of its buffs, my PC use an invis pot to break attack, run around the back and teleport back to the temple, then either wait or do some other actions until most of the spirit buffs expire, then return for 150g fee. You may need to rinse and repeat the procedure if more buffs were in queue. Just don't use the teleport stone again until after the spirit is controlled. Cheesy, I know, but a level 10-12 PC would not be so overpowered and doomed to failure.

The goal is not to kill the spirit, but knock its HP into the Near Death range to trigger a convo. Hopefully, you've already located the cure pot for that situation.

The "87 points remaining" keys you onto the fact it's a limited amount that can be absorbed, likely Stoneskin in this casse. Some creatures, though, will simply flat out have something like 15/+3 DR which means without a +3 weapon 15 damage will ALWAYS be absorbed -- can't simply wear that down.
