I tested the fight with him in a custom playthrough, came at lvl 8, he was lvl 6. His legendary move is Overflowing Brew does a random type of damage AoE: 3 m / 10 ft (Radius). He gets several retaliation conditions that are called refluxes, his drink changes its type and then he shot everyone in his small radius with the damage type he ended up with. This may be buggy because it was inconsistent - sometimes he used the legendary action on hit, sometimes he used it as his own attack. Not sure what is going on there. What's important is that we need him to become as drunk as possible, so he gets the Blacked out condition, which makes him very vulnerable. But until he is not blacked out he is immune to physical damage, so the only damage he can get is non-physical. Smite will deal the radiant damage but will not deal slashing damage, you get the idea. He also is immune to thunder damage.
The Waning moon has a convenient placement of every enemy. If you enter through the main door and attack some of Thisobald's clients, he will spend a few of his turns just on running towards you, while you shoot him with whatever non-physical stuff you have.
Overall he is a pretty easy boss that can be just punched until he is dead. Since his aoe radius is really small the key here is to take turns and don't place everyone too close to him. Remove from him those who is the most wounded, hit him with everything non-physical you have and that is pretty much it. If you enter the fight from the place I showed in the video, most of his minions will spend ~3 turns just on running towards you, while you are busy with Thisobald. When they finally arrive, they can be easily stopped from attacking you by cleric's turn undead spell - they have a very low chance to resist it! So while they are turned, you can continue punching Thisobald. You need to hold on for ~4-5 rounds so he uses his drinking several times - after that Thisobald will finally become blackout drunk, lose all his immunities and can be released from whatever hp he had left very easily. His minions are still very easy, no surprises there.
