How can i defeat balthazar if i want to save Nightsong and not lose shadowhart

[HunterVD]

Also i am paladin and if i dont kill balthazar and let him take nightsong i break my oat and for my role plaing its reallly bad

How am i supposed to defeat Ballthazar when he spawns a ton of enemys and has some pretty powerful spells. No matter how i trie and i have tried 20x times i cant defeat him. also i cant shove him of the ledge because even when i sneak he sees me (i dont havbe invisibility potions)

can i somehow defeat Balthazar even,he just always destroys me.

my best general advice would be to focus Balthazar with your strongest DPS early in the fight. Balthazar hits really hard, but he doesn't have that much HP. if you can take him down early, your survivability goes up.

Are you fightin him in the nightsong area because he is really easy to just blow up with explosives in his little room.

[Lord Honorius]

my first round was thunderwave him in the abiss, next shadowheart turn undead and killed half of the undead. gale and Karlach killed the rest. Did the same thing on another playtrough with my warlock, just eldritch blast it in the abyss.
As i think of it i think that almost all the boss i just threw them to the abyss lol

Ok so when talking to him, look in the bottom right of your screen you can control other characters while the conversation continues. I've learned he doesnt have anything worth saving. so take a character not talking to him and shove him off the edge. Even if you miss or want his loot, Just make sure you have someone with counter spell. counter spell his mass res dead and beat his ass. I've found that as the easiest way.

Only ever fought him in the room where you first meet him. I like to tell him I will think about helping and walk back out. Then toss in some grease bottles to block the doorway . Then just range it all down. Is just 3 normal mobs and his big friend. Hit the big guy with some fire and he freezes up (just get him before he gets near the grease or you lose it and the other mobs will make it out).

Is a bit cheesy cause the mobs are slow to consider pathing through the grease giving you extra time to whittle them down. Only thing you have to worry about is Balthazar casting spells so hopefully you have a caster with counterspell learned.

I started the fight by banishing Balthazar for a few turns, took care of the worst of the rest, and when Banish wore off, I had a whole round to take him down before he could do anything.

I couldn't defeat Balthazar and his spawns, so i used silence on balthazar before he called his helpers. Than I used a lot of melee attacks and glyphs.

I decided to not jump down into the Nightsong arena, and poked at him with arrows from my superior positon. Picked off the mages and crossbowmen, pushed the few able to jump up into the abyss, then poked Balthazaar to death

The easiest way is to kill him before Shadowfell

Rarely do I give out awards for comments, but this right here. This is the solution. Use the environment to blow him up ... or come back at a later time with a different group!

What I did was pretended to work with him until I reached the nightsong, then before going any further I went back to his room and carefully positioned my party where I wanted them. Flesh has to be taken out asap otherwise he starts 1-tapping anyone who didn't take tough as their first feat. Open the fight with a sneak attack on flesh or on fatboi but he's not too bad if you can keep him from moving too much and your party has a good AC to tank the smaller adds.

Letting his skele's get killed when the dark justies raid the place will also cut back on the numbers you have to deal with.

But if you really wanna cheese it I hope you saved up a lot of explosive barrels lol

Explosives not required. Don't go in room before, enter through the back way where the mushrooms are. Sneak in with invisibility, open the door, let the shadows and guardians kill him while you sneak away.

I gotta try that

Easiest way to defeat Bathazar is to attack him in his little office in the gauntlet of Shar before going to the Shadowfell. You only have to fight him, Flesh and 3 gouls. He will attempt to run from you. But if he instigates any of the bone men outside of his office, when he is killed them all die. He doesn't seem to like if you create water than electrify it then he runs to the corner near the bed. He uses cloudkill which is dangerous as hell unless you have poison resistance. This works in balanced difficulty so not sure about higher difficulties. I also am not aware if this will break your oath if you are a paladin.
