Lady o' war fight is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[Darth Jimmi]

i've tried it like 5 times now. its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ impossible. Im playing on explorer for ♥♥♥♥'s sake.
They all swarm Malady immediatly. The farther i got was 3 turns and that was on my first try,
This is seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. im so damn mad right now. I love this game but this is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous.

Yet another amazing game i wont complete because of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficulty.
I've played the whole series all the way back to divine divinity and i havent had as much trouble and rage as that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ impossible fight.

F*ck this. I love this game but i cant progress now. Thanks.

Strategy: group all your chars around Malady, ONLY attack people trying to attack her/heal her when she gets hit. IGNORE EVERYONE ELSE!!!!

Malady straight up TELLS YOU at the beginning of the fight "we can't win this, just keep them off of me long enough to do a thing". You're not supposed to kill them all. You're not even supposed to try. Just keep Malady as healthy as you can.

Good luck!

[Sheltz]

Ye group up around her and spam all your buffs and heals to her while teleporting approaching enemies away. I did it on my first try on classic mode. I have all my chars with at last 1 point in air school magic just for teleport, it is really good as an utility spell.

[Darth Jimmi]

I know i have to defend her, thanks.
Thing is i dont even have time to get all my characters to her before she gets ganked.
I dont have a teleport spell.

EDIT: I got a probably stupid strategy.
Ima rush the Hammer with a purge spell. I heard the battle ends when she dies so that could work, if i manage to get to her.

EDIT2: Well big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ surprise the plan didnt work. Turns out purge isnt even the one-hit kill abilirt i thought it was (im dumb).
Now im trying to teleport a character behind Dallis somehow and use a skill or item (like the face ripper) to 1 shot her.
Pretty sure its not gonna work. And i could make a teleport scroll but for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded reason theres no freakin' feather anywhere on that wretched stupid boat.
EDIT2.2:I found sibelle has the cloak and dagger skill. i dunno how it works exactly but i think ill try to teleport behind Dallis and facerip-her. Probaably wont work.

Aight thats it. i give up. Every strategy i tried failed miserably or werent even possible.
♥♥♥♥ this game. I loved this game until that point. F*ck it. F*ck it 'till it bleeds out its brain trough its anus.
I had the same problem with kotor2. The game expects you to be able to build your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ characters and gear perfectly to be able to make it trough a vital point in the story like im a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ psychic or something.
F*uck those games. Thats 2 of my favorite games completely unplayable to me thanks to stupid development decisions.

Played Kotor 2 many times, never had any problem with its difficulty or its mechanics. In fact I'm very surprised to hear that someone had trouble with that game.

Just change the bloody difficulty. Explorer is a walk in the park while classical gets only hard if you're 3 to 4 lvl behind.
BTW! After the bossfight on Vengeance you can always change the difficulty back.

impalement, pin down, teleportation x2, choloform

I use those skill to crowd control the enemies and I managed on my 2nd try. also heal malady instead of your party. remember that your goal is to stall for time. I also spawn a bunch of totems near the stair to block some access to malady.

[Tactix]

I know this thread has some age on it now but I just struggled as well, thought I'd share with the OP how I got through it. I teleported one of my party members thats seperated over closer to my two with malady, then pulled everyone back to malady (except the isolated one), and i just cast everything I could on her after you get your buff (fortify etc). I tried it 7 times at least but the last time I won with her having almost all of her health, hope this helps

[Lyrad]

While we're at it may as well tell the OP that he can respec using the mirror to try to change up the stats and abilities of his party in case he doesn't know, as well as recommend reloading a save on fort joy to get more CC (crowd control skills) such as as hydrosohpist freeze effects with rain and battle stomp, along with the almighty teleport as mentioned already

[D-Jak]

I play on classic und got wrecked at least 5 times trying out different strategies. Then I had an idea which worked like a charm and on the first try:

Just teleport Malady herself on the right far side of the ship (or at least as far as you can). In the mean-time attack the attackers, if Malady is far away, they will waste a few attacks on your compagions before trying to get to her. Then try to heal her once or twice and that's it.

Don't worry about your party members getting killed, they will all be revived after Malady does her "thing"...

Good luck!

I put my ranger (with teleport gloves) up on one of the mast platforms and teleported malady from one end of the boat (where she started surrounded) to the other that was empty.

[Gorlak]

Just teleport things away from her and slow them with some oil source. Buff malady's physical armor, with scrolls or spells

[BaJIepbI4]

Teleport Malady - win.

[nugnovadosed]

an easy tactic is to get teleport then teleport malady up onto the high ground and put 1 of ur characters at the bottom of the ladder blocking it then only the few mobs with a jump spell can get to her, makes it alot easier to keep her alive. i did this fight last night on tactician mode with double monsters mod and only 2 characters

[Zagwazza Wurrmek]

I got close to Malady with my polymorpher, burned down the swarming enemies' magic armor and popped Medusa Head. At that point, you pretty much can't lose :P
