Zrell fight is impossible????

[Whytry]

anyone done it ?

[steelcoresoviet]

I've done it. Really she's nothing special in melee.
If you don't have the harpers/fist with you, then obviously things are much harder.

cast hunger of hadar, watch the fight break.

[Deleted *******]

do u mean during the seige of moon tower ?

i dont know i just let my warrior teleport to her in melee, and crush her in like 5 strikes.

Magic missile on Zrell for the mirror image, silence on her and the other casters, AOEs. Jaheira will insist on meleeing, so heal her if you can; you can't resurrect her if she dies, since she's not a party member yet.

She's a warlock, deal with her like how you would a warlock. I simply put a melee specialist on her and deal with the rest later, those Absolutist paladins supported by clerics were more annoying.

yeah i finally did it by switching out Karlach for Gale and using alot of AOEs, think Spike Growth is my favourite thing!

i also managed to keep Jaheira alive... untill the Ketheric fight :(

Get out of the entryway, it's a blackhole magnet. Silence her. Her fight was actually harder than the Kethric fight.

Wall of fire combined with those void bombs really useful in this fight, at least was for me.

That fight was supposed to be hard? I must have been super lucky with my initiative rolls. My sorcerer and Halsin went first. Cast Insect Plague and Ice Storm on her and the croneys around her. That nearly shut down everyone. The ogre never even got to move.

Was pretty easy, did it with the suicide Harper squad along tho, they were butchered, Jaheira included ^^, while my party butchered the enemies...

Who dis?

I just cleared the tower before getting the harpers involved and going room by room (closing doors to help prevent aggroing adjacent rooms). Taking out the scryballs first helps too. Z'rell then is just a solo fight where you hit first and they get almost last in the initiative roll. So it was much easier then. After that, I got the harpers to assault the tower and basically they didnt have to do anything.

I just stealth kill most of the important looking characters in moon rise before I even go to night song. You can get away with a lot of murder in that tower. Just cast hold person and stabs her a bunch of times

There are a multitude of things you can do to make the fight ( any fight really) easier.

Abuse the fact you can steal everything from a vendor and then sell it back to them. Level up a character to refresh the vendor inventory for essentially infinite gold. Ran out of level ups? Go respec a character for 100 gold and repeat.

Use the gold to buy scrolls. ANYONE can cast spells from scrolls. Not just wizards etc.

This is VERY useful for summoning spells. Especially the Ice Mephits. (or water elemental).

Going into a fight with 4 is rough. Going into a fight with 12 - 16 that can turn the entire floor into a sheet off ice and body block enemies/attacks of opportunity/soak hits changes the outcome dramatically.

Especially if you funnel all of the enemies into a kill box.

You can then have your Evocation wizard drop [evocation] spells right on top of your head because it will not hurt friendlies.

And casting spells from scrolls does not eat up valuable spell slots.

You can also have someone cast haste on your barbarian/fighter and then chug an invisibility potion so they are never in danger of losing concentration. Your fighter now gets 6+ attacks per turn to smash face with.

Also a well timed hold person/hold monster in front of your hasted warrior lets you basically 0 out any enemy in a single turn.

during that beginning fight at moonrise i have 3 characters able to cast ice storm and wall of fire. those 2 spells are perfect for this fight.
My character was sorcerer, I had Gale with me, I had Halsin too and all 3 of us had wall of fire and Gale and my sorcerer had ice storm, and I asked Jaheira to fight with me so I was able to control her during that fight. It is also easier to keep her alive too.
