Orin unbeatable boss

[Matamor]

Hi, my main character is a barb and I don't have this missile spell with Gayle : how am I supposed to beat that boss!?? I tried two times and got toasted... The boss takes 1 damage per hit and he kills my whole party in 2 rounds... I would have liked to enjoy my story ending... I think I'm gonna take a break. Any tips, tricks to help me!?

Post your character sheets, im 100% convinced this is a pure build issue. This late into act 3 you should be so powerful that left clicking any enemy repeatedly would be enough to win.

If you don't have missile to eat up her unstoppable stacks then you need some kind of push spell to knock her or those sanctuary minions of hers off the platform.

It doesn't matter how strong your build is if you're not specifically set up to deal with all of the unstoppable stacks.

she has unstoppable which if i remember right protects her for 7 damage hits, magic missile is indeed your best bet, who is in your party? you need to hit her with rapid fire abilities, things like magic missle/flurry of blows/action surge anything that hits multiple times no matter the damage

A good build can just auto attack till they are gone and just stand in her face.

Yeah she is unbeatable. GL on world first, bro!

If memory serves, she has some ritual people around her that only take area effect damage and prevent her from taking real damage until they're dealt with. Cast fireballs/firewalls and the like to take them down first, that will make her near invincibility drop fast and make the fight much more doable.

In honor mode at least she has 12 stacks of unstoppable that replenish every round. 12 attack actions that actually land + enough damage to finish her in 1 round is only going to happen with a build tailored specifically to her.

Just mm upcast to 6th to strip them, then explode her in one turn.

the unstoppable comes from the sculpture of Bhaal, not the cultists, so i don't think beating them will stop it, it only doesn't trigger in a 1v1 duel with her, a full party vs her will trigger the effect

Yea, but the OP said he didn't have MM and the fight is impossible without it. I tend to agree for the most part.

Only other option is using thunderwaves or wind gusts to yeet her minions off the platform. Either way caster required.

lots of ways to aquire magic missile if you find its needed unless you just didnt keep extra stuff stored but for example there is a hand crossbow that has it as a once per rest option, you could try some speed potions if you have any left, gale with a scroll can learn magic missile if a wizard.

A really interesting way is if you have say fire bombs or acis vials, anything that hurts, put them in a pouch or backpack, throw or drop it at her feat an throw the fire bomb at it this will break it open and all of the stuff inside will explode if you have more then 7 she will take damage enough to kill her buff. this is the cheese xD

what are your other classes? you could use some AoE on the cultists, spirit guardians, fireballs, ice storm, cone of cold? anything like that?

Eh, scorching ray will do the trick too.
Or curriculum of strategy.

its not "impossible" without it, it just requires various other skills, if you don't have any of them it becomes significantly harder but not impossible. there are many ways to beat her without mm.
warriors multiple attacks+action surge
monks flurry of blows
rogue multiple attacks

hell a last resort "cheese" just yeet her off the edge, a thunder wave or various other pushbacks will work

Scorching Ray is only 3 stacks per cast; but regardless if you have scorching ray then you probably have MM. I think the jist is it's impossible without a caster.

Fighter multiple attacks + action surge + haste at best eats 8 stacks, assuming every swing lands. Still has 4 stacks and 300+ hp to go. If you don't finish her off in that first round she gets all 12 stacks back and you don't have action surge anymore.

MM is really the only option that eats stacks fast enough.
