Fix the Fing Courtesan fight

[sunglare77]

Trying to get this achievement is such BS. The courtesans keep running up to the mobs and swinging at them provoking an attack getting them selves killed. THe Demons will ignore everybody else and go straight for the courtesans. THe fricken Cambion wizard always blast a courtesan even if i get a PC right in his face. I was finally going to finish this fight without a courtesan dying. There was only 1 left in the room and a demon ran past 6 other targets straight for courtesan just to smack here and kill here. This is BS.

Was easy to achieve before last patch, now it's nearly impossible. Two Cambion mages in the back scorching ray everyone before you can even reach them. Daeran was one-hitted in the first round...

Fairly sure it's not difficulty locked, though I did do it on Core.
I did it with CC like the other early stuff (pit + grease + sleep).

I did it on core too (requirement), but you enter in the south and cant crowed control what happed north in the room. There is now a freaking high level Stir with ton of hitpoints and ac 37 near Dearan. Godd luck to kill him before he managed to kill curts runing by with aoo.

I've never really tried to get this achievement, but I've always wondered how people do it. I noticed the same issue- the courtesans get themselves killed a lot from AoO's.

CC is your friend, Ember for Sleep hex, couple people with grease/web, Aspect of the Wolf for the trip, stealth your group and attack ranged to get ambush round, pre-buff with movement spells such as expeditious retreat. Focus the grease around the Cambion + Stir combo (then get what dretches you can), I did this fight on Core difficulty and it was definitely difficult because of the Burning Arc spell and courtesans fear-running past the enemies. If all else fails you then just put game on easiest settings.

Core isn't a requirement for that achievement. This fight took me so many tries as courtesans die in 1 hit and they can die too many damn ways (burning arc, fear running into an enemy then away, them actually running to attack the enemies).

also, wtf? I don't recall the stir having that much AC, maybe it got bugged this patch. Tons of new bugs introduced in this beta patch.

Most of it is luck with courtesans not fear running past enemies and CC on Core+, Otherwise it doesn't require core difficulty, if you're having too much difficulty you can just put settings to lowest difficulty settings.
