How do you fight wicked chanter?

[Senkoau]

I'm looking for any helpful advice/tips as she cconstantly wipes the floor with me mostly due to overwhelming presence. DC 37 is well outside my party's abilities for reliable saving and it lasts for 2 minutes so it just locks up the entire party and lets the monstesr slaughter us.

What level are you?

Mind Blank(communal) could give you a huge boost vs mind affecting spells.

Don't charge and hold position, use a choke point. If you have heighten or not use stinking cloud + cloud kill + siroco on her head and on the most of the monsters.

Edit: Level1 cleric: Unbreakable Heart +4 save on negative emotions and confusion (morale
Joyful Rapture may or maynot work to remove the effect of the overwhelming presence

Lvl 13.

I finally managed to wipe the monsters with running all the way back several rooms to lure them away and pick them off bit by bit. However holding ground got the party frozen with presence and killed as they took their time. Cloudkill I was using but Sirroco I was worried about hitting party members.

Thanks for the tips.

She is probably the hardest boss... except for the spawn

[Senkoau]

Good to know though I didn't find anything on her to cast doubt on the silver dragon like I did with the first two.

You miss a quest item. 1 quest item on each floor except for boss floors(extra). You need all 4 before fighting boss, if you want her quest item. By inspecting them you can find on what floor you miss it.

However, its too late now. Unless you want to load a save before fighting the chanter and go look for that missing item.

I had a save right before her actually and without the mobs it isn't too much hassle guess I'm heading back up and hoping I can make the check due to not being close enough rather than having failed and needing to wait a level.

It might help

Thanks and also OWWW! I found two areas I missed first one had a chest that triggered a bunch of ghostly guards, second one had the item I probably needed (gives me 4) but was guarded by a lvl 17 Astrodemon who hit me with level drain and finger of death.

EDIT
Yep it was what I needed and sniffle, I feel even worse now.

OMIGOD. I hope she is the hardest boss. No problem progressing till now. It seems like everyone but my main gets mind f--ked.

IIRC discord is emotion ability. So you can just unbreakable heart everyone. Although it's easier to CC the chanter on round 1 and never have to deal with that BS.

Hmm, I thought everyone had Unbreakable Heart, and they still failed miserably.

Also, the chanter was a bit too far away for me casters to approach :(

That's why they invented corners. There is a very convenient doorway you can retreat behind to force everything into melee range. And if you are particularly lazy to cast stinking cloud in.

Will remember that for the next time - thanks!

The altars have a random effect if you successfully make a knowledge role. One of the effects is unholy aura (5 minute duration) which makes you immune to mind-affecting spells and effects. Some scum saving will probably be required , but it makes the fight a breeze.

I always use the Heart of Ira from stealth (thanks Nok-Nok!) and kill her that way. Lame, but incredibly effective. Only one of her monsters can fast heal enough to survive it, and it's just a hydra or something. She will die like everything else.
