Curious Artila Guillaume Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) I am playing on Hard difficulty, got a party level 29/30 with a Tinkermage as lead character (missile oriented). Any recommended companions to fight Zhetron ? I gave it a short try and have already measured the difficulty of this encounter.... I guess those consumables will be put to good use at last !

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Sorcerer if you have been building up focus magic to absorb elemental attacks to reduce damage and recharge for spells is a great companion here. Blademaster isn't too bad or a Shaman for extra healing. It's a scripted fight so how you do it is very important to avoid getting over whelmed by the summons. Try to avoid getting too close because of certain area attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Guillaume Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Thanks. I was thinking about putting all my guys close to the dragon in order to avoid the floor damage.... Is that a bad idea ? I do have Nathalie built that way though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Floor damage is bad, but Zhetron has worse attacks. There are a few spots around the walls that are out of Zhethron's range, but you can hit him with area attacks, attack his summons, or use for a healer.

Kyshakk Koan Alberich Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) If you do it right, you can use the floor damage against him, while keeping yourself safe. I wrote a little about it here. Edited August 5, 2018 by Alberich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Guillaume Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Alberich, this is sounds like an awesome exploit! Before posting my question I searched the forum but did not find this topic. Alberich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Alberich Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Glad to be of service! (I had a crazier, and funnier, one for High Lord Golath, but Jeff read the forum and fixed it .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Guillaume Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 If you have anything in store for Velusa, do share the love... He is next on the list ^^ I did not have trouble with Golath, 2 Tinkers and one Blademaster made short work of him and his entourage.

Kyshakk Koan Alberich Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Well, as a matter of fact, I did discuss that a little in this thread. The big thing for me was Spoiler defeating his statues in detail, when they animated. Also, if I remember, when you want to damage him you have to keep someone up close to him to stop him from healing himself. Once a statue animated, I stopped attacking him and ran into the hallway to lure the statue out there; he would be healed and I'd have to wear him down again, but at least the statue was gone (Valusa won't follow you, ever, but the statues will). I did something similar with the second statue when that came up, only I had to get someone out of sight, exit combat to resurrect the party, and then lure the statue out there to its doom. (And whenever I was out of sight with a statue dead, I exited combat and quicksaved...that fight is a sonofagun and I didn't want to have to redo the statue-killing if I didn't have to.) It's been a couple of years so I don't remember other details. Even with good tactics, I thought he was by far the hardest fight in the game...nothing before or after even came close. And given that he's a god (and an optional fight) I suppose that's how it should be. Yeah, I remember lots of people had ways for beating Golath...but sometimes pure cheapness is its own reward.
