eyeless fight (spoilers)

[dbennett88]

every time during the eyeless fight, the eyeless will be invisible / off field and I'll kill a dredge, then it immediately becomes the eyeless' turn and he one-hit-kills one of my weaker units. is the solution to fight near the bottom left, as he seems to emerge top right?

[Case]

I neutralized all the dredge first, leaving Nikels alive, yet harmless, until every other dredge was dead. Then I would put most of my team on the side opposite Nikel's and attack armor of the dredge first. I didn't try it, but I believe that the bard's ability to offend the dredge and send it to the end of the queue would come in handy.

managed to take him down, didn't have a second part of the fight for whatever reason like someone mentioned I would. funnily, I had a difficult time with some evil dredge after, but everyone who went down in that fight was fine w/ no rest necessary? sometimes the systems in this game confuse the hell out of me

a thing to note about eyeless, she/he will only possess a corpse once. So it's best to only kill one opponent to bring her out. After that, she falls in line in the turn order and you can focus fire her to the point she's too weak to matter. Work the field till all the dredge are weak or finish her and send the strongest ally across the field with breeze to finish eyeless off.

well then I played avoiding deaths for no reason :D

Yeah, "death" in battles is pretty tough to avoid on harder difficulties. The "dead" unit is really just injured and receives a strength penalty in their next fight. Different units receive different penalties - Varl typically receive a -6, humans usually around -4, and weak archers only about -2. There is some difference between games in how injury is handled though - in BS1 each day that passes heals one injury point. In BS2 the only way injuries can heal is for the caravan to specifically stop and rest a day (though usually between chapters all injuries are healed).

I managed to beat it by killing the dredge around nikels. Then I have my hardiest/or weakest unit take a blow, after that I used Dytch's stealth ability to block the Eyeless from attacking my party (and following up with his ignore armor ability. Then I let Bolverk wail on him until I got him.

After choosing to kill the Eyeless forever, I basically charged everyone to chop the Eyeless into tiny little pieces haha.

i went for the typical strategy of weakening all the dredge and picking them off one by one while leaving nikels alive. what ended up happening to me was I got sparr to taunt eyeless every turn while relying on my 6 man party to decimate his armor, primarily using krumr to bring forward bolverk's turn for the break and 50% crit (level 10 with maxed out crit build and items,) but by the time eyeless went down I knew they'd be no match for the dredge reinforcements guarding eyeless because all had either been poisoned or terribly weakened by the battle.

thinking about it, since this fight is objective-based (kill eyeless, battle over) probably doesn't work as well as going straight for eyeless and maybe using dytch + zefr to get around the map and go for the kill? maybe even use krumr to accelerate that process
ps. did this on hard difficulty. anyone got a more solid strategy?

I always abuse Zefr's Breeze to win both phases of this fight. Target ally is Krurm (if present) or Bolverk; never got to try rank-2 Breeze, to buff two allies... Too OP

TBH I also found it very cheap that Eyeless got instant free turns all the time.

Can someone please tell me the name of the soundtrack that plays during the fight? I cannot find it anywhere and it is by far one of the best songs ever! :D

The trick I used was to place my weaker units in the middle and form a circle around them with my stronger ones. I also made sure to place one of my units on top of the dead Dredge bodies so they couldn't be resurrected as easily. The Varl taking up 4 squares really helped in this. I then cast Breeze on Bolverk which allowed him to attack the Eyeless no matter where he appeared.

I agree with the strategy of killing Nikels last, especially on hard. Taking on Eyeless while in pillage mode makes the battle so much easier. Once it shows up, everybody can dogpile the boss at once.

Oli's very useful as well, being the only ranged fighter. Everytime I chose to fight the second phase of the battle, it was that drunken guy who always makes the finishing blow on Eyeless.
