Strategy for Ancient blighted treant

[Disparate Revenant]

The first enemy on Core that I can't find a way to beat no matter what. It has fire vuln and low touch AC but 31 SR, my best caster has +21 Spell Pen so she can get in sometimes, but even then the damage is not enough before he ovveruns my entire party. The thing has way too much health for every 1 of 3 fire spells to get in. It also just uses 'ovverrun' -- trampling my entire party as he beelines for the fire caster even when I try to tank it.

21 Spell Pen is a 50% pen rate against 31 SR, which seems about right considering how tough he's supposed to be. Empower + Bolster Battering Blast. Every time it gets through not only will it carve off huge hunks of his health (about 60 per projectile) it will blow him backwards.

Use Daeran with Red Salamander and Hellfire Ray.

He can be feared (relatively easily, actually, the DC was so low that i could only fail it on a 1-3, which i did, twice in a row) with Demoralize/Dazzling Display if you have Thug 3's special ability, which takes him out of the fight and gets you free pew pew time and you can spam that on him.

It was tough, but the ghost that is in this zone with one of the side quests (finding someone lost) was WAY tougher, what with a massive AC - even touch - and casting 8th and 9th level spells.

Again, though, just... why is everyone so obsessed with Core?

Is it just the misimpression that its Tabletop accurate? It isnt. Its almost twice as hard as Tabletop. Or more.

A lot of achievements are on Core.

I'd rather have fun playing than force myself just to earn more archievements.

I just hammered him with arrows until he fell over. Had to try a couple of times. Once he's on the ground just coup de grace him a million times until he fails.

Good for you.

Thanks for the info, I finally managed to beat him by just kiting him with webs while I plinked at him with hellfire rays. The fact that each ray has to roll for SR is busted, shouldn't it just roll once and the rest go through?
