Any tips on beating the blackwater boss?

[Desolate Eden]

My party of 6, about 5 summons, all the buffs I have + scrolls and still not enough, by the end of the fight like 3 enemies still remain, idk what to do at this point, this is basically some horde survival mode, i made the post before saying how absurd blackwater was, but i didnt think the boss would be this hard

The fight ends early if you beat the boss. You won't have to deal with the extra demons after. Getting to the panels might be easier with a stealthed character and summons to distract the extra mobs.

Wait what you can hit the boss? It didnt let me select him, Ill have to try that, also didnt see whether it was possible for me to press the buttons during a fight, thanks

He's behind the force field iirc. You have to turn it off with someone first in the top corners of the room, then he becomes target-able. He's also a lot softer than the strength demons i'm pretty sure, so any DPS-focused party member should be able to take him down quick provided the rolls are favorable.

the heck, so i did it but one of my party members vanished, they didnt even die, their portrait is literally gone from my party, i think i have to reload and re-do it, but it worked, albeit its still difficult to make it to all 4 of the points, but thanks, theres light at the end of this tunnel lol

Was that Arushale?
Like Linzi in Kingmaker she teleports away when she would die.

Protection from elements collective (electric), Resistance to elemenst collective (electric) + Sums and All bufs you can get. Won the fight on my first try on normal.

Due to Desna's favor Arushale CANNOT be killed, period. It's an important shoe-in because Demons cannot be resurrected per game lore IIRC. So she emergency teleports out if she would die instead.

If you're feeling particularly lazy bum rush the dude. Cast haste, and other buffs like protection from electric, before the fight, after talking sent 4 of your companions to turn off the generators and once they're off just go ham on the main boss. Once he's down the rest will cease being hostile.

You can use wand of dimension door to teleport the whole team behind the force field.
