What is the best way to cheese the fight with a solo sylvan sorcerer?

[InEffect]

nuke his face off?

[Aria Athena]

All you need to do, is make him change phase before he removes your buffs. That doesn't leave many options.

Yeah, but what are the best spells for it?

[Dixon Sider]

I casted 20 stinking clouds before pulling in order to cheese it. Place them so all enemies need to make 20+ saves as they spawn.

This game only goes downhill from Pitax.

Depends on if you are necro or AT sylvan. The former can do empowered FoD+Quicken FoD. The latter does GM hellfire+Quicken hellfire.

[Baldurs_Gate_2]

Yeah but i don't have a grandmaster rod :()

He is not immune to stinking cloud or cloud kill. Jack up your DC high enough turn the entire battle field into a world war 1 hellscape of poison gas.

Then just pop the invisibility special ability sylvans get for good measure, then just nuke him with the grandmaster rod, while every round he just stands there lose constitution points till he dies (which with grandmaster rod and hellfire rays is very fast)

And how? He is even immune to fire, so sirocco best prones him, but no damage. My hellfire ray misses more than it hits. I even maximized hightened it. I can not even beat the first form, because my pet doesn't hit him.

You can use rod that gives +4 to Conjuration. This guy and all his minions are not immune to stinking cloud and have pretty low fort saves. Wild hunt has lowest fort save so stinking cloud is the best way to disable them.

Pets are meat shields at best after Act 2. Relying on one to do damage in the final encounter is delusional.

Really?

Unfair. But i guess as solo sorc he cant just buff his pet so much.

If yes, Quicken + True Strike, then Empower + Hellfire. It should help you with the hit chance.
If no, then you f0cked up big time.

There's a reason people suggested using Grandmaster Rod + Hellfire, and not Hellfire on it's own.

Do you have Weird learned? Did you try it out?
Do you have Prismatic Spray learned? Did you try it out?
Do you have metamagic rods?

Ah ok, i tried it with true strike and hellfire and it works.

Cast 20 stinking clouds before you pull. I already suggested that

[Baldurs_Gate_2]

Ok thanks everyone i did it. Stinking Clouds / Sirocco / Tsunami and the true strike + hellfire did it =)
