How does one beat Dallis, Vredeman and the others (MASSIVE SPOILERS!)

[Meme Lord Stranger]

So I think I may have reached the end. Problem is, it is tough as hell (I am on classic mode)

Usually, I end up doing good in the start but as soon as the Source King comes in and then the Kraken starts spawning every single enemy I have killed, I get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the ass. They could have AT LEAST fully healed my party when that part starts...

I have Anathema but it's almost completely useless.

I don't know who to focus on. At first, I tried to kill Lucian, he seems to be the weakest ironically but then I foundout Vredeman turns into the Source King and I try to kill him first but it doesn't matter apperently since when he is low health he instantly transforms into source king and fully heals.

I have a few deathfog barrels but I am 100% sure they are all immune to it. I haven't tried it.

I haven't managed to get beyond the Kraken fight. What am I suppose to do? I have finished almost every quest and done almost all encounters in Arx expect for the Hermits Hideaway (Some undead and voidwoken on top of a mountain surrounded by Deathfog which I can't kill because he teleports and swaps my characters and kills them all)

How am I suppose to beat this? My strategy consists of putting my Ranger on top of the stairs for the high ground damage, my Elementalist for support or dealing damage when possible, a Battlemage to deal tons of damage, support and possibly utilize his spells if my Elementalist managed to get rid of their magic armor, and my Inquisitor who is just "use everything you have".

Yeah, my strategy isn't the best but it worked most of the time. What am I suppose to do?

The most simple thing you can do is to use the Deathfog on Lucian since he´s not undead, and maybe those white magisters.

Not sure if its the same for DE, but for classic one of the most important things is to clear sallow man's infect (with bless) so the kraken cant nuke you with its AOE.
I'd also perma cc lucian since he does way too much damage.

The easiest way to complete this battle is accept Lucian's offer to allow your source to be drained. Vredeman will still attack you, but this time Lucian + Dallis and all of the other NPCs will fight along side of you. This makes the battle fairly straightforward. You are given the option to renege on your agreement with Lucian later.

Try five star dinner and potions for your main damage, int or finesse or strength, and resistances. Just tried that with doctor quest after struggling, fought with all and found that combo to be quite OP. You just need to survive the first onslaught and have your intiative high. I will try the same in the final battle too if i m struggling.

I don't think they've changed this recently, though I haven't read the patch notes in a bit but...

Y'know how when you mind-control a summoner, you get their summons as allies too?

Well, the Sworn count as summons for the Kraken...

If you're still struggling, bring some of Lady Kemm's tea along...
