The Secrets of Suramgamin - Pass the trial of Visaka the Unicorn
How do I hold all three monsters? Hold Monster works on the Lion and the Hydra. The plant otherwise is immun, the chain spell also dosen´t work. The stupid Visaka does nothing too after I start to hold the two monsters. Please help me.

So, I beat this with a sorcerer. First, I loaded up my main character with every defensive buff known to man, particularly Displacement and Mirror Image. He also had Phantasmal Web. Then I shoved the rest of the party to the far side of the map, out of the battle. I hit the manticore and the hydra with Phantasmal Web, which took them out of it non-lethally, and then just tanked the mandragora. Between Displacement and Mirror Image I think I only took damage once or twice during the whole fight, before Visaka called a halt.

Obviously, your tactics will differ based on your class, but basically disable the hydra and the manticore, tank the mandragora, and just wait.

Thank you, citeing the mandragora was the trick.

For me it was pretty basic: Put Valery alone in the middle, buff her AC as high as possible (magic vestment, fighting defensively, displacement etc) and wait for the combat resolution. Even on the highest difficulty, she was not hit even once.

Als Druide in ein großes Erdelementar verwandelt, mich in die Lücke der Mauer gestellt und mich von Linzi heilen lassen...

Ups :) as Duid just tank as Earthelemental and let me heal from linzi

As the others said. Place a tank among the monsters and remove all others to the other side of the map. Use delay poison and displacement and you should be OK, if AC is adequate.

You don't even need to do this with your main. Just select the NPC with the highest Armour Class [Valerie f.e.] and talk to the druid. Turn on Defensive Fighting beforehand.

There are loads of buff / debuff spells that will work here [Valerie was hit exactly once in the entire process]
Buff spells:
Bless
Shield of Faith
Mirror Image
Blurr
Displacement
Haste
Brilliant Inspiration
Most Bard Songs

Debuff spells:
Grease [on the Mandrake]
Flare Burst
Glitterdust
Slow
Cacophonous Call, Mass
Song of Discord
Overwhelming Presence

Grease, slick, glitterdust, blindness, turning your guys invisible/displaced, and have a high AC tanky guy get heals while standing in front of the giant root.
