Kniles the Flenser on Tactician

[Fitcher]

So i beaten him multiple times on other difficulties but just now i got my ass kicked by him on tactician.

He used a charm grenade and charmed 3 of my guys, so i started thinking did i just get unlucky with him spawning with that grenade or does he always have it on tactician?

Oh and this was the new version that just came out.

I've run two teams through his area so far on Tactician and both times he had the grenade in his inventory. Both times I was able to keep him knocked down until I could kill him so he never got the chance to use it.

It sells for a bunch which is nice early.

since you don't mention the 2 monsters in the back i take it they aren't bugged anymore (only trying to open their cage)?
reported that bug 2 days ago, got an e-mail yesterday saying they'd fix it 'soon'.

on the note of kniles's love grenade, he's always had that. even in the previous version.

Yeah teleport him close and keep him knocked down. He didnt have a chance to use that grenade on me... so I guess focus him down. Teleporting him closer gives you a few good early hits on him.

Yeah i had the issue with the monsters and them trying opening the locks but there was an update after i exited the game so hope it fixes it

If you have fane in your group, you can talk to kniles and you can "trade" the grenade from him. So he cant use it anymore. You kill him anyway, so you get your money back later from his corpse.

Or run with one of your chars to him, start the fight, he use the grenade at the one char.
If the charm is gone, you can go with the others into the fight.

i just tested it, the bug is still in.
while the bug is in the game i'd suggest just giving kniles atusa's leg so you don't have to fight him at all.

I just beat him.
Kill him as fast as you can, and CC him as fast as you can, I can't give you better advice than that.
It seems to be luck based, because on my first attempts he just tp or used that damn bomb that means = game over.
But on two other tries, I killed him cleaned before he could do anything.
