Gerringothe Thorm

[Muttley]

In her description when you examine her it is hinted that you can do something to not destroy her armour and still defeat her. I vaguely remember reading something about her ingame. Has anybody found out if it can be done?

if you destroy the skulls the armor explodes off of her and the gold drops on the ground

if you just attack her it destroys the gold

i saw a video on youtube that you can give her 6000gold to get a special item. then kill her to get the gold back

You can beat her without a fight... Give her some gold and tell her, that you are there to replace her... And she just explodes... :D
But I dont get, how to get the achievement...

I got the achievement by having a companion push her out of the window to which she goes in her walk cycle, that does a lot of damage instantly, the rest of my party was waiting where she would land to burst her as soon as possible. It kind of buggs out if you do this so you have to act fast in commanding your party since she seems to take turns while you have your turn. I also used the spell which places a magical trap on the ground where she would land.

What does the 6000 gold item give?

This fight left me stunned for a second.

My mainchar had over 30k gold on her. This boss SMACKED MY ASS with a 74x8d12 attack. Even with slashing resistance and after succeeding the saving throw on top of wearing adamantite armor which reduced the damage by 148 I still got hit with ~900 damage on my 70HP char. Talk about overkill.

after two awful encounters I save-scummed and retried after reading about using dialog to beat it... won't say what to choose... anyway.. I tried to do that and while heading to the roof first only 3 party members were on the roof.. and Shadowheart was stuck in dialog with the tollkeeper. I knew that was a dead end that would be a battle I'd lose but I went with it. I had intended to use my pard to persuade/deceive. Have to say, when I looked up what to say I had not guessed it was possible. Maybe next run through I'll try it just to see it. But I had to battle and it went very well.. 3rd time was the charm.

I got Laezel down there next to the disgusting blob Gerr.. when battle started I pushed Gerr downstairs and killed all teh skulls on 2nd floor... Gerr tried to spawn teh traps and gold halberds but they spawned downstairs well away from my peeps. Made quick work of the skulls with my bard/laezel/shadowheart and Gale and they were not fully rested. I read elsewhere that the skulls had to be near Gerr.. but that's not true. They each take about 100 life off Gerr. He was left naked with 6 points of health near the end.

Give her something like 10k gold and push her out of the window (a lot of gold makes her heavy and the gravity hits hard, or you can dialog to make herself blow, i went for calling her a cheater and that her doesnt deserve the gold

[Raelis]

I figured that the amount to get the item is 5k gold

[Telmuntar]

i got achievment with no fight against her, i only talk with her, i drop her some coin, persuade her that i'm her replace and then and i intimidated her, after that she explode and i get achievment

[HozzMidnight]

What's the item though? First time I fought her straight up then reloaded and sent all my gold to camp. Second time had a face character dialogue her to death.
