Tavern Defense Unfair Blind Playthrough
I did it finally. It took 20hours plus to beat this fight. I thought after beating Dos2, BG3, and RT at hard difficulties that I could jump in WoTR at unfair. I was so wrong. I only have 5 members Seelah, Cam, Nenio, and Ember but we did it.
The Strat was to place vines at first entrance and bait all enemies to the back while sleeping or pitting the alchemists, then once they were slept or ccd I would wait for the tougher enemies to crash in the crusaders. Before the the final wave I would have Seelah make a sortie and take out all the helpless arsonists with the help of summoned boars bought at the scroll vender. The wild boars were so clutch I love them. Seelah also had a potion of fire resist just in case on the arsonists got up. (I lost a couple of runs from Seelah burning) Then Once the big guy showed up I made sure that Seelah would not draw his agro and patiently wait for it to die before cleaning up the last 2 alchemists. 1 alchemist did spawn at the roof area near the forge but I didnt have to kill him to win the enounter. Its important not to kill the first 2 alchemists bc that can spawn that forge alchemist in and he can cause massive dmg while being protected. Thanks for the countless posts about this encounter bc It would have taken even longer with out the tips on reddit. Also Nenio with sleep also saved my run.
