Tips/advice on doing the Driftwood Arena?

[RedTuna]

The fight is a piece of cake without a blindfold on, but Murga gets pissed off if you aren't blind and refuses to fight you afterwards. I tried to see if I could fight the Voidwoken to impress her, but it doesn't seem like it is possible to get in the cage (tried lockpicking a hatch nearby but it says it cannot be lockpicked).

Every time I try to do the fight blindfolded, it renders most of my party useless. My party consists of Sebille (Rouge), Ifran (Ranger), Beast (Warrior), and the Red Prince (Mage/Summoner). Sebille is able to do decent work at the start, but gets insta-gibbed by the opposing rouge. Ifran can barely shoot anything and has to get into melee range in order to shoot things. Beast and The Red Prince do okayish, but lack the DPS to beat the opposing 5/6 remaining people.

Is there another way I can convice Murga to fight me without doing the blindfold route?

Make sure you have the Strike of Opportunity or whatever it's called on the Rogue as well, Use the Fire Skill the Red prince has to block of areas so the enemies that don't teleport in has to walk next to your melee-based chars.

I spent most of the fight with Beast Crippled cause I forgot I had skills that could get rid of it on other people then my Healer =p

Also, anything you summon in isn't blindfolded, I used "Summon Artillery Plant" and it killed 3 people =)

Try hiding behind the walls and use stealth on first turn to lure enemy, for me fight was pretty easy, my incarnate deals around 250-400 dmg per turn, all i has to do is survive, but still sebile died to archer =D

An update, I reloaded the save to try to do it blind again and the Red Prince carried the team lol. Sebille, Ifan, and Beast all died pretty quickly but the Red Prince was untouchable with his summons. And then the next fight against Murga was super easy wtf
Only issue I have now is that I can't get passed the arena loot room. I tried blessing the petrified doors but it doesn't do anything.
Thanks for the advice everyone!

Did it on tactian with a mate, i was a Knight and he was a Rogue, If u look to the right there is a rather thick wall that u can line of sight most of the enemies and have them come right next to u, while u wait u can buff and save on AP for a nuke for the 1st one that gets close, then cc them all together and kill

, Good luck :)

So I found another way. I'm playing on tactician and (yes... I was probably pissed and somehow took off the blindfolds without remembering) loaded into the game in the middle of this fight.
I won it but then got Murga's message that she wouldn't fight me. I was kinda annoyed but went on playing with it gnawing at the back of my mind. In a moment of epiphany I thought "What if I just start a fight with Murga outside the arena?" Did so, killed her, chatted to Arran and hey presto... got to fight the Voidwalker and become champion off the world. All on my own terms. Hope this helps peeps.

move to the wall on the right. bunch up, melee on edges, casters/ranged in middle. wait for them to come to you, focus fire, cc, all over red rover.

I downed the first set, fought Murga, and then got teleported out. Is there any way to loot Murga and the Voidwoken?

I just did the first fight sans blidfold then went to Murga and killed her. Told the guy to let me fight the voidwoken and he obliged. Got the arena key afterwards.

I did the whole first fight with the 4 people blindfolded. Basically hid behind a wall with everyone and waited until they got close. Summoned things without blindfolds that picked at them while they were coming close.

However, fight 2 was hard!! Murga came and crossed the whole field in one turn and took out a caster before I even get a turn. Then the voidwalker comes out of the cage and can two shot (in one turn) most of my guys with void bolts. Both at the same time is tough - became a rez fest fast.

When I first found the arena, shortly after arriving on Reaper's Coast, I assumed it would be too hard for my current level. Then I completely forgot about it till I was level 14. Then it was too easy, though the fight with the acolytes is a slog because you have to chase them all down physically (because you're blinded). The downside of waiting is that the rewards are useless to you by then except as junk to be sold. But the treasure I found in the treasure room was all level 14. I don't know if it's that level for everyone, or if the level of the treasure is matched to your own current level.

If you want to complete this battle early then you have to convert your team to at least have 2 or 3 summoners because your summons won't be blinded. Other than that, you can wait this fight out till you are much higher a level and then easily 1 shot everything in the arena. The fight afterwards is easier.

Best of luck.

Ps. Don't forget to get your kisses or a nice revive item :)

Yeah Imma kill her before she touches anyone in my party plus I already blow her off.

Not too sure why you would. Trading Con (life) for Wits (Crit) is a very good trade since Con is useless late game.
