Explore my gear setup and combat log examples in my other videos. My equipment is similar to what I used in the Ansur battle, except for the Amulet of Greater Health. The core of my character's strength lies in the devastating crit burst damage from Assassin of Bhaal gear, including Craterflesh Gloves, Viscous Shortbow, and Dolor Amarus x2.
🤔 In hindsight, I would have tried a different strategy for this fight. Initially, I'd gather everyone together using the Illusion Cantrip, then attempt to AoE burst down all the cambions with Arrow of Many Targets during the surprise round. I forgot about his charm ability and planned to focus on bursting him down first.
🔧 To simplify saving Hope, right after the cutscene at the start of the fight, have all your characters sprint to the prison hatch where Hope was chained to exit combat. Cancel an improvised weapon/throw action on Hope to move her aside (my other characters used strength potions to carry Hope).
🤯 I didn't initially realize that once you clear all the adds, you can attack the Pillar of Souls without engaging in combat with Raphael.
