How to beat lamenting abomination?

[OnionBro]

He has 1400 HP and my characters have between 490 and 615 HP, and i got him down to 200 HP,but all of a sudden, he gained 1000 hp back. Do i have to kill the wolves he summons first? I could've beaten him, but he went back to almost full health, so do i have to kill his wolves first?

Sounds like a good strategy considering they are buffing him nonstop.

Just beat this one. The black wolves have poor armor, and buff the boss constantly. After a few turns of buffs, he can one-shot most tanks at his level, and with Cleave can easily dominate the party.

Our winning strategy was to open with Medusa head and the AoE Petrify, and follow that up with heavy focus on the black wolves & CC on them every turn to minimize the buffs. Eliminate the Grey Wolf after to remove Vampirism from the boss. The Abomination can resurrect his wolves, but on a fairly long cooldown, and they return weak enough to be easily powered down with range.

He's also susceptible to most CC himself, including effects like Charm, just take note that he shrugs off status effects 1 turn earlier than expected. A Summoner's mind control will only last 1 turn, for example, but he can easily kill one of his own wolves in that turn.

Ok, so i should kill the wolves first, but i dont have that summoner spell, i have a pyro, ranger, battlemage with air spells, and a tanky two hander guy.

[OnionBro]

Anyone?

You seem to have a strong lack of AoE CC spells. However, you can pin down the Abomination, and he's useless at range. This may buy you more time to take out the wolves.

I hited him twice before combat start with my archer. After that focused him and stun/disable every turn. He didnt attack me any single time. After you kill him -its easy to deal with wolfves.

Im level 11 and he's level 14, does that make it past my level?

Very much so. A single level different puts you at a big disadvantage, a 3 level difference opens you up to a world of hurt. It doesn't necessarily make this fight impossible, but certainly much harder than it has to be

He didn't regenerate any health in my game. I just bent him over and then his wolves. I thought he was easy because i was underleveled by 4 levels.

Just get his physical armor down and keep knocking him down.

I was level 15, but lacked defense on my backline (Sebille mage, Ifan ranger).

I summoned incarnates (x3) pre-fight, let Ifan and Sebille stay in the elevated ruins at the corner furthest away from the abomination. Used Red Prince (Two-Handed, Summoning) to guard it.

Triggered the fight with avatar. Abomination begins first and usually teleports, attacks and possibly kills an incarnate. He then hunts your backline, but takes a few hits in the process.
I killed the grey wolf and a nearby wolf with AoE. Incarnates/avatar killed another in the ruins.

Next 2 turns, abomination clobbered my backline (no kill) and resurrected a wolf, but incarnates and ranger picked off all wolves. Fighters took down abomination's armour, knockdown CC kept him down. Was prepared to Chicken Claw/Medusa Head with Sebille, but wasn't even needed.

Tips:
- Kill wolves ASAP and let unneeded characters take down abomination's physical armour
- Do a physical CC chain on the abomination (Knockdowns, Chicken Claw, Cripple, Petrify)
- Pre-fight buffs and summons always help considerably

2 Poison infused Incarnate Champions and 2 characters with Charm spells for the Grey Wolf and one black wolf worked for me. I also used the Medusa Head but only hit 2 black wolves with it. Having someone with the Spider Legs polymorph spell and a couple of teleports is incredibly useful as you can move the wolves into a heap with your incarnates and snare all of them there. Some wolves will just skip their turn entirely while others will attack the incarnates but having power and farsight infusions on them will block most, if not all, of the damage and bleeds with physical armor. I also was able to attack the abomination 3 times before initiating full combat with Ifan and a crossbow on the small balcony behind him but out of his area of notice (the light red circle while holding down Left Shift)

Stop necroing this thread, i beat it months ago and had 800 hp when I did it.

If you have a skill to control his mind, he will attack the wolves, and the wolves will attack him. Just in case other people looking for an alternative solution.
