How do you win the ****ing Nere fight?

[Cy]

So I'm completely stuck. After freeing Nere I get right into a boss fight with him and about 10 other characters who all attack multiple times per turn. It's a completely unwinnable fight, and the only way I can get around it is by siding with Nere, which I don't want to do because I'm RPing a good character, or long resting and having him die in the cave in, which I don't want to do because it destroys the moon lantern and kills all the gnomes I've been trying to save for the last 3 hours. How am I supposed to win this fight? It seems impossible, even on explorer mode.

Why would you fight that? Your enemy is choking to death and the only thing you lose by letting him is two manlets? Seems like an easy trade to me

[Brakiros]

I had Karlach kick Nere into the lava lol was karma after what he did to that poor gnome. It helps to have martial characters who have multi-attack too. Also I had help from the Duegar Elder

[Emerance]

Kill all of the druegar before you free him. That is how I did it.

[sarang]

Kill both factions before you get in.

I killed the slave owners trying to get absolute power.
I killed the people trying to take advantage of the slave owners.

It then becomes an easy fight with Nere as when that time comes hes isolated.

Beating him is easy, what pisses me off is even when you kill him before the cinematic where kills the Rock Gnome she is still dead either way.

So many quest glitches in this game

This. ♥♥♥♥ me that's such a needless ♥♥♥♥ punch that doesn't even make sense.

Like I killed all his buddies and he doesn't get a swift arrow to the face, instead he gets to boot someone to death despite being vastly outmatched and having just come out of fantasy Auschwitz.

Haha nere died in the poison for me because i was exploring and camped xD

[BhaalSakh]

Speak to him through the rocks. Then, do two long rests. Go back and he'll be dead, and the dwarves gone.

[aaargh]

or side with Nere, and then kill him later?

I had Karlach chug a Hill Giant potion and start punting duerger into the lava. My monk actually took down Nere in 1 turn.

Monks are OP as ♥♥♥♥.

It took me 2 hours of constant reloading, to win this fight.
While being in the dialog with Nere, you can switch to other comrades, the dialog is just paused, when you dont choose an answer. At this time, you can position your people, cast blessing, magic attack etc on them.
I used elixirs for extra spell slots, increased concentration resistance and the haste postion for double attacks.
After the fight startet, I tried to lure as many as possible to the tiefling babarian and casted fireball with Gale at this bulk (he has a passive skill, that his spell dont harm the own people), with the enemies weakened like this the babarian was able to use a 3 target attack.
Also, I used Shadowheart to stun 2 enemies, which where not in the fireball area.

My monk gets 3-5 attacks per turn, all which hit like a truck compared to, say, Warlocks or Rangers. As Elemental Fist I have ranged elemental dmg, knock backs, pulls, ect. My base speed is faster, I'm immune to disease, poison and mind control effects. I catch AND throw back arrows for higher dmg than the arrows themselves. With a high enough wis and dex I have more AC than fully-geared warriors PLUS evasion as a class mechanic. Oh, and I stun / break concentration with bonus attacks.

Are you HIGH? Monks are the strongest class in the game, period.

[Ka-mai19]

You can attack the duergar before you free Nere. That way you eliminate 90% of the threat before taking him on.

[Blood of Kerensky]

What Nere fight? He just died without me, while I was in the forge.

[radekim]

I sounded the OGres horn, it was manageable with them.
