The last task is outrageous

[minicats]

Why did they create this quest? To spoil the whole game impressions?
It it the worst quest I have ever seen.
No checkpoint, run all the way. Skeletons either kill the mouse while he is fetching the bomb, or time runs out, or he dies from explosion.
How are you suppose to kite with the speed of 2cm per hour?

I gave up this ♥♥♥♥, its impossible.

[Welsenfürst]

Try it, it's not so impossible as you say. of course.. it's a bloody damn quest

I had a hell of a time with it at first... definitely the most difficult part of the game, and I have no idea how I would do it without getting hit, to gain that achievement. I'm pretty sure I only managed it by sheer dumb luck and repetition.

I found that while I was running around, the skeletons couldn't care less what I was up to and just focused on fighting my allies. But as sooooon as I picked up the brisance, all of a sudden they took great interest in me and would explode the bottles as I was holding them >:C

Something tells me there is a much easier and more clever method, but I haven't quite figured it out yet.

Final quest. Playing KOTOR wouldn't be fun if Malak wasn't the hardest boss.
I found that the simplest way was to take the brisance furthest away first, since there would be less undead, then slowly move inwards. There are also caches on both side of the peninsula, if you didn't notice. The one on the northern side is surrounded by relatively few skeletons. You can also use the brisance to weaken additional undead, or use bottles and pinecones you've picked up throughout the game to clear out some undead.
Also try to keep Silas and Otto/Rolo nearby, as I found them focusing heavily on the undead that attacked me
ALSO also, The Gilded Armor you get from Duinlan has high fire and weapon resistance, and doesn't hinder your speed significantly. Eat at least one honey between each stage, as they heal the most

I found it easiest with the Thief outfit - don't know if I was imagining it, but the audio/visual discretion stats seemed to result in them ignoring me a lot more than with other costumes.

[OzzieBloke]

Did the whole thing without once taking a hit, simply by watching the pathing of the enemies. Go to the opposite shore to where they are currently being fought by Rolo and Silas, grab a brisance, plant it, explode it. You don't have to heal at all if you spend a little time learning their pattern.

[MsStandart]

Is there an invincible cheat or so? I don`t like this quest either.

[dr_schorle]

It's not that Hard. Let your allies take care of the undead and pickup brisance that is not too close to the trouble. If they come too close while carrying, just drop it, run around and come back to pick it up again.

I got it on the first try, and took another two for not getting hit ;) I wore the golden armor, though I am not sure if it makes a huge difference.

[minicats]

What kills me is that I finished the game agitated and annoyed. While the game deserves much better mood with its awesome atmophere and lyrical ending.

Why did the devs do it I don't know, its like they gave one an ice cream and then ripped it away and threw it on the floor and stomped on it before one could eat it whole. Was tasty but the impression is spoiled if you understand what I mean.

There's an exploit you can do to make the final battle easier. But you have to set it up before opening the Ominous Chest

• Use brisance to dig up the chest
  
• DO NOT OPEN the chest yet
  
• Save to File 1
  
• Grab brisance from the pile and place them around the chest:
  
  1. Directly in front of the chest, inside the crater
     
  2. To the right of the chest, just outside the crater
     
  3. To the left of the chest, just outside the crater
• Make sure that the explosion radius of the brisance is touching the chest
  
• Save to File 2
  
• Open the Ominous Chest and finish the conversation with Rezzia
  
• The brisance will disappear when the dead rise but don't worry, they'll come back later
  
• Proceed to recruit your friends and return to the shore to intiate the Final Battle
  
• Save to File 3
  
• During the Final Battle, the 3 brisance you placed near the chest will reappear
  
• Throw bottles/sticks or ignite the fuse with the candlestick to detonate them 1 by 1
  
• Win

WARNING: This may cause issues if two brisance casks explode at the same time and deal 2 damage to the chest. If this happens either a) load File 3 and try again, b) load File 1 and start the process over, or c) wait for a while and hope that the game corrects itself (there should be a short dialogue between characters after each explosion)

REMEMBER: This is an exploit and can cause issues. Try at your own risk. If you do try it, using multiple save files are highly recommended.

I also didn't find it to be too much of a problem. As a few others have mentioned above, draw the undead close to your companions (Silas/Rolo) first, then scamper off to grab a brisance and carry as far as possible. Once the undead refocus on you, drop it, rinse and repeat until you can deposit explosives close enough to the green flame and detonate them. In my particular case, I found brisance right at the waters edge to the left once entering the "point of no return" i.e. not the original stack nestled against the rocks to the far North.

[MsStandart]

Ok once again: Is there an invincible cheat or time stopper or anything else?

[Trypetide]

We're not in the 90's =']
There is no cheat in this game.

Hi. This is how I often advice to do the final quest :

Try not to pickup a brisance and go to the chest in one step.
As soon as you see a skeleton going near you, drop and go fetch another.
Like that, you work on the three hits in parallel.

When you finally trigger the first hit, you should have already brisances not at shore but closer to the chest, letting the two remaining hits easier.

[Fern]

I'm looking forward to putting these strategies to the test this weekend! I want that Dodgy Mouse achievement :D Of course, my underpowered mobile GPU struggles a little when the dead rise.... so I may have to turn the settings down to "stickmen with mouse ears" for a few extra fps :D

That strategy would fail due to time limit.
