What I do not understand from that screen shot(as it appears to be from the opponent of the daemon prince's objective list) is why you would want to destroy the second skull tower, rendering Kyras [i]in[i/]vulnerable.

That is right, lets make the guy we are fighting immune to damage :/

I might be able to buy that something else is going on(I have not played this game yet) but the syntax is all wrong, as "rendering" someone something is usually to take away some ability making them the opposite(as in normally you would "render X vulnerable")

This is my Rulebook. There are many Like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rulebook is useless. Without my rulebook, I am useless.
Stop looking for buzz words and start reading the whole sentences.

Bad grammer, but it can still work. In this case the sentence is meant to say, "Destroy the second of the skull towers that are making Kyras invincible." Like I said, it's grammatically poor (and the definition sentence that I wrote is awkward at best). But it can be "worked" with.

Of course, it's also possible that Relic just didn't pay attention to which word they were using.

The grammar in that sentence is weird, definitely.

Destroy the second Skull Tower [that is] rendering Kyras invulnerable.

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

Fixed, but I'll just put it out there, that while I may not be as bad as many internet retards, my spelling is still beyond terrible. Grammar I can do though.
