Penny Pincher Achievement
Has anyone worked out how to get it? I’ve tried pinning the toll collector down with e-cards black tentacles however the gold weapon summon must have counted. Tried yeeting her off the building with an EB but that auto started the conversation so then she was back to fill health.

Any sure fire ways to get it?

I did this method... You can keep knocking her off the balcony, and each time she falls she loses a piece of her armor (also lowering her max hp). Took 5 Eldritch Blasts (plus waiting for her to reset into that position at the window) to knock off all her armor.. Her Coin Helmet doesn't come off though, so I kept just hitting her with EBs till it did more than 100 damage (92 from fall damage + 17 from EB) and then she died + got the achievement.

Hope this helps :D

It did! I managed to repelling blast her off the tower, Cutscene didn't trigger and went straight to combat. A fireball, Guiding Bolt and Few flurry of Blows follow up got me there!

Easiest method for me was to get the whole party on the roof. Lae'zel and Wyll behind the Toll collector and PC and another ranged party member ahead of them on the roof ledge.
Starting combat with Lae'zel's "Menacing Attack (ranged)", this starts and holds combat as well as frightens her so that she can't bum rush you, I then used Wyll's Eldritch blast with repelling blast to push her out the window (Arrow of roaring thunder is another good option). When she hits the deck the other two on the ledge will finish her off with an arrow or two, generally she only survives with single digit HP.

where do you find the toll collector?

what I did was sneaked up behind her with Gale and fly her over the ledge with Thunderwave. But gotta say, toll collector did throw a save couple of times so I had to reload couple of times

Straight up kicked her out the window. she took 526 damage from the fall. Few pot shots after that did the trick. If the skulls get annoying, just yeet them out the window too

I actually ran straight up and got into the conversation but i didn't really say much. just said i'm there to bring her death combat started. couple smites from the paladin and a force wave from Halsin dead on impact. didn't even know there was an achievement involved until i already had it.

I just went Invisible and used Thunder wave to yeet her into the distance 1 shotting them for the achievement.

Gale thunder wave out the window and she died instantly

You can just shoot her skulls. When you first shoot skull it teleports, after that you can kill it. Each skull is linked to one of her armory pieces. After all skulls gone, just kill her. Did it with Astarion using stealth shoots.

Drop all your gold before the fight and she can't use it against you. Pick it back up after the fight. Got it no problem.

I used the polymorph spell and turned her into a sheep while I killed all the visage skulls to remove her gold armor. She never attack me with her gold and the achievement didn't unlock for me. :'( The achievement is bugged for me

that's exactly what i thought, but it didn't pop afterwards

UPD: replayed the fight again, got damage by coin whip only, but i got the ach
my guess is halberds ruin it too. I definitely got hit by one last time

Fight from the roof, use polymorph to turn her into a sheep. As long as you can keep her away from skull aoe, she'll never have a chance to do anything at all.

I got it with dialog only. Gave it one gold the first time asked; refused to give a second. Passed a monk persuasion on "Do not let your need for gold trap you" and another persuasion on "There's no one here to oversee you" and it just exploded.
