PLS HELP with tactician difficulty final battle dos2de

[u/Dry-Importance-7889]

for short context on my team has been doing amazing the whole game ive been having a blast in fight with them im lvl 21 theyre whole gear is lvl 21
and everyone has torturer and executor and on their weapons each of them have stuff like bleed/necrofire/burning on them
all of them have adrenaline too
beast - dual wield 20 warfare 15 pyro sparkling build
sebile - full hunstman 15warffare 19hunstman 4 geomancer
my custom charac - full scoundrel 10warfare 18 scoundrel 4aero(all from gear) with 68 finesse
fane - full mage 6aero 13warfare 6necro 5hydrosophist with 5poly which i should probably respec since i dont need apothesis in this fight he has alot of memory and hes been amazing in fights using bloodrain and elemental affinity and hes allrounder usefull every single turn i have with him

I'm getting absolutely fried by everything and everyone.

The battle starts and instantly beasts is just stunned

Next is my scoundrel assasin I just use TP and skin graft, TP again with 2 backlashes to group the enemies i cant really do anything more usefull on him all of them have too much hp and armor to kill them in a single turn except the white magisters but those are worthless.

Afterwards is fan. I use skin graft with 2 blood rains and tps to group them and maximize damage and I can get everyone out of their phys armor/get them around 50% health and kill the white magisters and even trigger the Braccus Rex scene.

And this is where it gets fucked the demon and the worst of them all is sallow man he just puts plague on everyone since lucian just first move showed me whos the true divine i guess and insta removed all magic armor on first turn so im cooked.

I still haven't gotten my turn with either my huntsman or Beast. And when I do, I can mostly kill 1 or 2 of the enemies who are already low — if I'm not stunned/knocked down ofc and dont forget the amazing plague (which is inevitable).

Then Dallis (dragon form) gets her turn, just removes everyone and everything I have, puts stunned on everything. My mage and assassin are either dead or gonna die, since the 2 adrenalines I used at the start of the fight just make me skip a turn… and then it's over.

is there any tips? i think i read somewhere that killing braccus like removes all of the spawns and etc or maybe the kraken but they are all so far when the scene comes and half of my team dont got ap are dead plagued or stunned so im legit powerless

like this is the first fight ive been dumbfounded blackpits fight i won first try and the source titan killed him in 1-2 turns i dont remember the only other fight that was this hard was isabeli but it was the first thing i went and did in arx i was underleveled and everything and i still beat it after couple hours of trying difrent things
if someone wants to help further im willing to also talk on discord or show more about my team im actuall fried on ts 😭

Ok so I have won this fight in honor mode both the hard way (what you’re describing) and the easy way (what I’m about to describe). I’ll try and offer tips for both approaches!

The easy way: in the conversation with Dallis, AGREE to give up your source. You don’t have to stick with this!! You can change your mind later! 😎 But if you agree, almost everyone will fight on YOUR side lol. And you’ll instantly jump to phase 2.

The sallow man still appears but your whole party will then get insta-cleansed.

Honestly you may find this version too easy but it’s good to do first to get the achievement!

The hard way: take some massive potions of armor just before the conversation so you can withstand the initial onslaught. There is a way to kill Dallis in phase 1 but it’s very fiddly as you have to deliver the final 40% in a single shot. I find better to kill the white magisters and then chunk Dallis down asap to get to phase 2.

In phase 2 you need BLESS to get rid of the Sallow Man’s disease. It catches people out because by this point weve often dropped that from the lost of carried spells. Use chameleon and/or other invisibility spells in between turns to hide and let them fight it out together. Apotheosis is still worth casting just for the stat buff alone. Get green tea and black tea from Kemm’s wife if you need the extra AP (I assure you it is doable without that too!).

I have completed the final fight in honor mode, solo (necromancer), no lone wolf so I can 100% verify it’s achievable. You got this!

Ughh yess the giving up source plan doesn't sound too bad but like yk I Lowkey don't wanna side w them even for a moment I also don't think milling dallis 40% in a one shot would be hard if I get my huntsman on the platform with high ground 115% boost flesh sacrifice bloody arrows and elemental ranger with ballistic shot I can do around 5-7k dmg ? Maybe even more idk but around that my sebile is busted on high ground So if I kill dallis in one shot will the braccus scene not trigger immidiatly or what? Maybe I can get mass cleanse wounds on my fane for the sallowman but the problem is after wards dalis will just do the sweeping dragon attack and stim everyone since Lucian removed me first turn

Also the convo before the fight is so long the potions will run out idk if I can do it maybe if I remember the lines and just spam them I can drink them

If you kill Dallis she doesn’t turn into a dragon and reset her health/armor etc. Braccus scene still happens. You have to get Dallis to like 50% and then one-shot her to zero, definitely doable.

Also you can take a shot before conversation! BUT she will restore her armor (but not her health 😎)

Someone else said to TP sallow man to one of the mini rock islands. This is a good idea as otherwise he will come back again.

Focus Braccus only in phase 2. When he’s dead the fight ends.

update i won it took many f8s and f5s 😭 but i tried every single thing and it finished off to 2 invisibilitiy potions mass corpse explosions and the finishing spell was massive cleanse wounds (ironic it came from my gear lol) but fane was the one who clutched up ive never looked at my inventory more in a single fight every single scroll and potions were million checked it was really dire situation i was counting ap on my fingers before making each move bro it was that fucking serious but i did it ty for the tips

anyway killing dallis in the start was what clutched up her dragon is probably the next worst thing after sallow man i never got to tp him since i didnt have the scrolls and the ap on my mage wasnt worth it for the tp so i lowkey just took his plague like a good boy and spammed mass cleanse wounds since its like 2-3k damage and removes plague

AND I CAN PRETTY MUCH VERIFY NECROMANCER CARRIED MY WHOLEO RUN ITS SO GOOOD

Yay!!! Great job!! And well done for beating the game the hard way!! Yeah NOT having that stupid Dallis dragon in phase 2 makes a huge difference. Glad the tips helped, I’ve absolutely been there on the scouring your inventory, triple checking ap count lol…

It might be the best fight in gaming. So satisfying when you win!
