Can you save Isobel?

[MisterRed]

Got to act 2, and she was just kidnapped. The annoying thing is that she just face tanked every hit, like her AC was 2 or something, and every enemy targeted her. I definitely could've easily wiped out the entire encounter, especially with all the friendly NPCs,but she just... went down by the second turn.

You need to concentrate fire on the winged dude, don't worry about the people downstairs. If you saved the gnomes and tieflings from the prison they're more than capable of taking out the red devil things downstairs. It to took me 3 tries and I had 2 healers keeping on top of Isobel's health.

How can you allow her to be captured ???

[Wolfherz]

Yes. Station party members by the doors blocking adds from getting in and have your tank destroy the hell out of the winged flaming fist dude. It's possible with good CC and DPS. Granted if you don't know to block the doors you get swamped and Isobel just gets wrecked.

People giving you a lot of strategies, but I kept it simple: Kill the enemies as fast as possible. So I smited the ♥♥♥♥ outta them with my Paladin and they were done. I did have Shadowheart bless her though beforehand using the Staff of Arcane blessings so double buff effect probably kept her alive while I went to town.

It's literally one of the easiest fights in the act.
Boss and daemons dont have any saves or tricks. Either you are trolling or you suck at this game.

I've just glitched it by attempting to set up the fight - Marcus, Isobel and Main are in convo - used Gale - Closed all the doors within the cleric's room - Set grease trap (pig icon) on the double doors to attept to prone anyone who enters - fire on the otherside sparked and caused suprise on all within last light - then black screen for a second and Marcus was gone, Isobel walking around in her room, I can't speak to her though but the NPCs regard her as still there - Jesiperson (Main druid woman) has diologue that assumes you defeated Marcus and save Isobel.

It just goes to show - being a total noob and not thinking about what you're doing properly will get you unexpected results Q_Q

[ULTRA]

I succeeded first try, although she was definitely doing what you're describing and trying to get herself killed

[HTakara]

wait, you lost the fight? lol

People really miss out on all the insane utility spells this game has. Sanctuary, Banish, Polymorph, Shell, Blink, Greater Invisibility, Feign Death. The list goes on.

Theres so much stuff to help save her. If you aren't running a spell caster its a lot harder. Battlemasters get trip, goad and frighten. Paladins frighten too. We have Command (OP af), Hold Person, Making use of immobile is crazy.

you don't exactly lose, there are too many friendlies for you to actually lose. those things just trying to rush Iso down to kidnap her and this is bad scenario if you wanted her to stay. got surprised to find out it's a possible outcome, fight is indeed rather easy, especially if you rundown the bossman.

[Calistrasza]

I just assumed it had a scripted end and she's meant to be kidnapped for story progression, so I stopped talking to her entirely. I need at least half the people at the inn to stay alive for other quests, and I have a light that lets me get through the shadows without any problems, so I've been ignoring Isobel.

Now that I know you can actually save her and it's not scripted that she gets kidnapped, I'll try again.

[Omnius10]

The easiest way is .. just don't talk to her . You don't need her blessing . Get the pixie blessing. Isobel will join you later if you help the harpers and attack the towers.

Hypnotic pattern is a spell and you might even have one as a scroll

I'm sure someone already said this but blocking the main and side doors before the fight
pretty much guarantees a win lol! Well unless your party really sucks!

[Avallach]

I saved her solo monk on hard so yes you can :)
