I *HATE* Dolor fight (spoilers obv)

[Yarmoon]

This fight is so scammy. Boots of unlimited level 5 "teleport the hell outta here" is such bullsh. Why even have this scene if you are not supposed to fight him here? I spent a good hour trying to manage my resources as strategically as possible just to have him spam level 5 teleport 4 rounds in a row.

AND DONT GET ME STARTED on him ignoring two round tashas laughter and polymorph. My man just does not care you specifically built your party to disable single enemies.

Did anyone manage to actually win this and kill him here?

I didnt even realised people struggle with this. I think I OTK him with a warlock

[Kharnath]

i hit him with flamestrike more than 20 times. the highest damage i got was 16. on a spell that does maximum 60. if he succeeds the saving throw he takes zero damage.
also i cannot seem to counterspell his dimension door.
i'm playing warlock and i have 5th level spells. it also ignores silence, i can't use hold person because he never rolls lower than 16.

i really really hate this fight

edit: got so sick of this i used a potion of speed and hit him twice with flame strike and did exactly enough damage to kill him. which was 30 damage.
on 2 flame strikes

Polymorphed him at the wine festival, first attempt failed but it didn't start the fight so I tried again and it worked.after that it was game over for him

[Tomas Mac Mordain]

I took him out at figaro's - my biggest issue was that I couldn't reach captn whatshername who was paralyzed together with figaro. Had to put her in sanctuary to save her from being crit to death by Dolor's (means 'Pain' btw.) lackeys.

[Phero]

Straight up murdered him at the wine tasting (balanced difficulty) I wasn't even aware that he'd try to run away. I think Gale counterspelled him, before Karlach hacked him to bits.

[Ranpo]

Cast silence.

[Psychotron80]

Silence wont work. just tried.

I counterspell his foolish ass with both Wyll and Gale in my party and smote him dead with my hasted vengeance pally.
Still had to reload the save I made before the fight more than once but he was dead in the end.
♥♥♥♥ that dwarf

[Ranpo]

Hold humanoid. He's the dwarf in red, no need to start a conversation.

I just fought him and on his first turn he attempted to dimension door (I counterspelled), threw that paralysing thing at me, attack me and downed me, and THEN went invisible... all on one turn?! It's definitely the most frustrating encounter I've come across

[MOK]

Just finished this fight at the wine tasting, Tactician.
Thing I noticed was that the best saving throw to target on him is strength.
My Karlach had a leap ability that could make him prone vs strength. It succeeded, so after he was prone we just went to town on him.

The Dimension Door spam sucks, and counterspell casters tend to get paralyzed immediately in that fight, so it's incredibly frustrating. But the thing that I think sends frustration into orbit is his potions as a free action.

There's another factor I never quite figured out, where it'd keep suddenly switching over to him taking actions when I hadn't finished my own actions. I'm still confused what that was.

Only ever fought him in the fashion house. On story book mode (ranger/karlach/shadowheart/wyll 1st time and bard/lae'zel/astarion/gale 2nd time), no issues. On Tactician (dark urge monk/minthara/shadowheart/gale) he did kill the detective but otherwise no issues.

Being able to place an AE without tagging anyone and having counterspell helps. But also having your main damage dealer drink a speed potion and just start slamming is pretty good too.

I second this post. I encountered during the wine festival, and everything about it just seems to be a "♥♥♥♥ you" to players. I quicksaved/quickloaded the opening to the fight nearly 20 times, and *every* time that ♥♥♥♥ stain was always fist in the initiative order. My character has +5 initiative, and *never* rolled higher than a 8. I reloaded a save to before the encounter and shot him with an arrow of arcane interference to silence him, but right after the arrow connected and the silence was in effect, combat started. Of course he won the initiative. Silence was gone, and he cast dimension door. I don't know what was different this time around, but I could finally counterspell him and killed his annoying ass.
