Wild Hunt Scouts - How do you kill them?

[Helmet Hair]

Seems I'm missing something here, but these dudes don't wanna die. I have two in front of currently unconsious but nothing I do kills them. I have tried cold iron, acid, fire etc. So how?

[InEffect]

You click on them and they die. Pretty much that's it. Sama as everything else. 400 damage stacked stormbolts work too.

[Morgian]

They have no regeneration if I remember right. Does inspect tell you anything about them?

[Helmet Hair]

Figured it out, had to kill the leader of the pack, then they finally died. The guy with the horns.

They did regain, 10 per round. But those that were unconscious died when the leader died.

That's an ability of the wild hunt prince / king / whatever gives them, no nothing "linked" to him can die as long as he lives, and they will get fast healing 10 or something.

Before Wild Hunts start appearing in game, it's also a good idea to give everybody in your preferred party line up the Blind Fight feat. It makes you immune to gaze attacks, which Wild Hunts like to spam in battle to stun lock the party with paralysis.

I dunno, i almost always skip blind fight and just buff my party with freedom of movement, and i'm doing fine in hateot.

Yes it can (and sometimes will) be dispelled, but it's pretty rare and i can deal with one of my guy being paralyzed now and then.

If you have access to echolocation to deal with concealment (or true sight i guess, since i heard it now works), i think you could just skip blind fight and get something else. If you don't however, blind fight is definitely worth it, on your melee characters.

Yeah, people keep countering my suggestion with that.

Thing about FoM is that it costs a spell slot, has a limited duration, and can only be used on one person at a time.

Blind Fight is a constant effect, gives you immunity to all gaze attacks (including Gorgon petrification), and improves your ability to fight stealthier enemies.

ALSO, Blind Fight makes your characters immune to a Nymph's charm ability, which is very useful when she tries to turn the men against each other.

Well yeah but if you’re concerned about spells slot, you can just buy fom scrolls at the vendor by the HATEOT entrance. He’s got like 100 of them and money shouldn’t be that tight at that point.
Barring dispel (which i think only monarchs do), one scroll will buy you over an hour of fom.

Didn’t know about the nymph’s thing, but never had one if my character charmed either.

Not saying blind fight is a waste per se, but on a feat hungry build it’s really nice to be able to skip it.

Well, i discovered the "blind fight feat" while looking on the net when doing the HATEOT, because casting 6 "freedom of movement" was a bit much and i did not know how long i would need to finish it (wondering if the scroll were enough)
I would recommend this feast at least for your frontliner, as it helps against concealment (and potentially your healer if possible to be sure that one never gets full stun)

[jsaving]

If you are willing to fully buff AND willing to learn exactly what counters what, then you can get by without a lot of things including the blind-fight feat. However a lot of people would rather play the game rather than lose that time, which makes blind-fight a solid option for many though not all players.

i'm kinda late but hey it may be useful for someone else, i'm doing Tenebrous depths 15 and had to face a Wild Hunt Monarch, first try raped me, second try got sneaky close and Ekun with cold iron quiver beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of him, critted 90dmg, u can use dimmension door or sth else to get close with nok nok too and kill him before he summons anything
