need help. Kar´niss and the moonrise tower rooftop (act 2 spoilers)

[F.O.A.M]

so im at the point in act 2 where im fighting the absolute cult and got myself to the rooftop and man, this spider dude is mental. idk why they made him only lvl 6 when hes the strongest enemy on the roof while the general of the entire place is besides him.
how tf do i deal with this encounter? both kethric and kar´niss alone would have been tough but the arena is filled with small ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that keeps throwing stuff at me
my party is: astarion as rouge assassin and gloomarcher, shadowheart as war cleric, minthara OoV paladin and OC way of shadow monk.
ps i dont have nightsong with me which would have helped alot but what can i say, evil playthrough and all. oh and i dont even have access to any other party members, never got gale (playing as dark urge origin) so i have hes severed hand in my inventory instead of him as a member. wyll and karlach didnt seem to like my violent tendency so they dipped and the sourpuss gith left when i decided to murder the commander inside the Crèche because he wanted my funny looking artifact

i just have some problem right now.. at start of fight karniss shows up and nearby kill one of my dudes with 4 attacks and then is imune at next round and the small enemys around using magic doe around 5-8 per attack with their total numbers and nearby 100% hit its insta death for the next bevor ich even can do something.

i managed to win pretty fast after i made the post. if you get kethric down to a certain % he just leaves. i think i took 50 hp from him and he dipped for the rest of the fight. aoe spells will help against the casters on the side. karniss however you gotta find a way to deal with as there is no way around that one

how did you get to the rooftop? I can't find a way there lmao

behind the "throne" there are stairs to the second floor. take the first left and there is a big door there

At which Level have you been??
I am at level 7 at the same point. I can get Thorm down more or less quickly (loosing lots of hitpoints). But after he is gone there is no way for me to kill Karniss and all those remaining other enemies lurking around...

I even have Nightsong with me... but she is completely useless. And after Thorm leaves, she is also gone...

Hi.

AOE will still hit through sanctuary. You just cannot make DIRECT attacks.

Sanctuary is a spell that can be countered and silenced. I believe it is also concentration which can be broken.

So firebomb that boy.

Another day, another adventure....

Have been luckier today. This time Nightsong was attacking Thorm, so these two had their own fight. Which gave me enough time, to handle the rest :)
Yesterday Nightsong was dealing with the smaller enemies only, which was not a big help for me. Seems to be a good approach, to hide behind tower walls as good as possible. I could bring Karniss down with an ice-spell and the power of Karlach and Laezel.

Counterspell to deal with sanctuary, then burst him down. Silence as someone else said, aoe. Or just kill everything else and worry about him afterwards.

You can kill Karniss in the forest, you can meet him while hes making his way to the Moonrise.

You can even get some Harpers to help you ambush him.

Right, but this is a little late, when you are meeting Thorm and notice… „Should have killed Karniss earlier“ ;)
