[@sirborkton8451]

I'm telling you the Divinity universe has so much potential in the realm of miniatures with things like the lamenting abomination, voidwoken worm (and really all the voidwoken concepts), etc. I can just hope the Kickstarter board game is a success. Great vid my man

[@mirceaionescu960]

I know it doesn't count as a boss, but the blackpits oil voidling fight has to be my favorite fight in the game. I love when a fight is long enough for you to go strong, make mistakes, recover from them and have skills actually come off of cooldown during the fight

[@Kerubu]

@@SeventhheavenDK you can actually avoid the voidlings all together if you can kill the magisters before Gwydian uses a source spell

Hello Mircea

[@AeonQuasar]

I know it don't count as a boss fight, but my favorite moment at least was went the party gets seperated in the Wrecker cave in Act 2 when you look for Mordus. I played with 2 friends and it was terrifying trying to naviagte back to each others with voidvokens luring around every corner. We did not use the teleporters as we wanted to do it the intended way.

[@lovejoy1311]

Late reply, lol, but I agree with you 100%. I usually do play throughs with my son and he likes to find ways to cheat out going down there, but the first time it happened was so amazing that I always make him.

[@fox21231]

That part was very annoying on multiplayer, i got thrown into a room with a voidwoken and a bunch of vampires, I could not move without provoking the fight (no stealth or TP) so I had to wait 45minutes for the other 3 players to get to me to start the fight.

[@lovejoy1311]

@@fox21231 that’s the toughest room for sure, esp if you haven’t found the teleporter triangles. They’ll eradicate any single character that isn’t playing LW.

[@matrixphijr]

For #5, it's fun to actually just damage Alexandar enough so the Drillworm spawns, then stand back and watch as it and the Magisters all go after each other. I've found they'll literally all ignore you, even if they're right next to you, once the thing spawns in. Just be careful not to be anywhere near the AoE of its abilities or you could be in for a rough day.

[@ryandavid1277]

Great list! Andramahlihk is my favorite boss in this game! Your content is stellar

[@daniel.holbrook]

A few of my favorites: I appreciate the Radeka fight (now) because when I first played the game it was a pretty 'hard check' regarding tactics and party composition. I consider it one of the hardest fights in the game for first-timers just because of how early it comes, those beetles are ridiculous, and it gets you very quickly acquainted with the decaying mechanic. The Roost fight (and the whole sawmill) sticks out in my mind because I found myself getting most invested in Ifan's story out of all the companions. Experimenting with the Harbinger of Doom fight and formulating- and then executing- a tactic of using death-resist plus forced exchange felt really rewarding, and thinking back to it always renews my appreciation for how this game doesn't inhibit player creativity by making menacing enemies arbitrarily immune to powerful effects and synergies. Isbeil's fight is really memorable not necessarily on its own but because of what you can do in its aftermath. In a game that by-and-large prioritizes tactical gameplay over far-reaching choice-and-consequence, holy shit I was not expecting _that option._

[@coreyano]

Nice. Radeka has beat me more times than any other fight. The crew hanging outside Roost's hideout is cool. All unique characters. And the "mama" character is so tuff. The decay monster is great when u turn him into a giant chicken. Hahaha

[@SuperHavard123]

I like the oil and fire voidling fight in the black pits. With the magister and hannaghs apprentice. Keeping the apprentice alive was quite a challenge for me😂

[@Megaman8880]

I had to use the trick of teleporting him into a tent across the map and blocking him inside the tent with a chest that couldn't be destroyed. I probably spent a solid 8 hours trying to keep him alive prior to discovering that little trick. I was pulling my hair out by the time I finally managed to keep him alive.

[@wgs8304]

Mine is Alice. On my first play through that was the first and I think perhaps only fight I actually gave up and went back to later. Her wanting to eliminate our shining lights just stuck with me for some reason. She had no real impact in the game and now iv killed her many times using various methods but that was the first real what just happened moment seeing my party get one shotted after some text.

[@mkconte]

Alice cleaned my clock on the first handful of attempts too. I agree that was one of the most shocking examples of getting slapped around almost too fast to process what was going on.

[@johjoh9270]

I'LL KILL YOUR SHINING LIGHTS!

[@frankmills1917]

She 1-turned me on my first playthrough. I then 1-turned her on the next. Kinda felt good.

[@coreyano]

I avoid that fight like the plague.

[@ivansaric2222]

Crazy thing is that first time fighting alexandar was my easiest and without reloading. Every other time despite all the game knowledge I have I reload at least 3 times.

[@randra221]

Still sad that there was no real way to help the Lamenting Abomination :(. It has an interesting premise for a more fleshed-out side-quest alas...😅

[@douglasweaver8480]

It's a shame the gift bags disable achievements, that's the only reason I never use them.

[@berkowk]

Yeah, especially some crafting recipes which feel like they forgot to add them to base game.

Loic the Immaculate and The Burning Witch - Alice

[@TralimHobni]

last fight not even being on the list is a big true moment

[@michalobrebski8549]

Last fight took like one minute

[@berkowk]

It was so anticlimactic, I went with a "hard" option for the first time. So we are trying to control everything, 3 characters go into invis after killing 2 magisters, putting gheist to sleep and severely weakening Dallis. Tankiest character runs away for Vredeman to follow him. Then stage 2 kicks in, we one shot Braccus... This mfer has no resist to fire of all things (on classic at least). Tried an easier battle scenario where whites are your allies and accidentally one shot Braccus and Lucian.

[@thevilyn2075]

you can teleport alaxander onto the bottom flat area of the stairs so no adds actually try and run to you, but you do then have to fight the voidwoken on your own

[@johnroscoe2406]

Teleported every corpse I could find around the Harbinger, casted Mass Corpse Explosion, and one-shot him. It was sooooooooooo cheeeeeeeeeeeese I loved it.

[@orbaitv5991]

The Adramahlihk fight was tough so much that I ran into the street with low health and he followed me.

[@frankmills1917]

The first time I fought the lamenting abomination was pretty chaotic. After so many tries, I came up with a plan to oil up almost every part of the area. That way, I can teleport out his wolves to my party while he struggles with the slowed debuff. But it almost failed when I accidentally casted ignition, which put everything and everyone on fire. Luckily, I kited the big bad wolf enough that only a couple wolves left and that's when I started on knocking him down. A couple of deaths and resurrects later, I finally managed to beat the damned abomination. All in all, it was very fun!

Where's Alice the witch? Tho usually I just cheese her by luring her to Jahan.

[@MortismalGaming]

She wouldn't stop screaming and throwing fireballs and was just generally very unprofessional so I had to cut her from the video.

[@wgs8304]

There is also the ruined castle looking structure that is directly in front of her. You can place your party up there and spread them out a bit before combat. Make sure you precast living on the edge at minimum on the person that is going to be in combat with her first / who she will target which you can control by keeping the rest of your party who didnt teleport her far enough out of combat and bring them in after. This strategy has worked for me at I believe as low as level 10-11 but then if she gives you a good weapon drop there's a major accuracy penalty since its lvl 15 drops. Best part about this game is there's so many ways to do things. Just keeps you playing!

[@Blu3r4bb1tking]

Me and my dad beat this game a couple weeks ago, and a week or so before that I asked if we could try the Devourer fight, just to see what it was like (he had beaten the game a couple years prior). He told me that we were going to get wiped in approximately 2 turns from the Devourer, and I was expecting us to die and have to prolong the fight. However, after all but one of our party members had fallen (his characters were Ifan-summoner & Sebille-ranger and mine were Red Prince-rogue and Fane-fighter) Fane managed to dodge or the Devourer missed not 1, not 2, not 3, but 5 HITS ON FANE IN A ROW. This allowed me to revive Sebille and we kept the Devourer crowd-controlled until it eventually died. Great fight, but is absolutely horrible to do since the Devourer has the screen-wide AOE attacks 🤣. My dad was in shock that we had won (first try and very undergeared) but I was so hyped as it meant that Fane could now use the only lvl 21 armour set in the game (and it’s a bloody strong armour set as well, especially with An Maflin as the shield). Great fight, and a really tough one to win! (also, when Fane dodged the 5 attacks in a row, he didn’t even have ‘uncanny evasion’ or any dodging spells used. Thats how lucky we were). Great video btw man ❤

[@Kerubu]

I have never fought the devourer legitimately, I've always just used forced exchange on him because the shackles just make it so easy to set up.

[@mkconte]

I think I physically explored everywhere in Act 2, but I do not recall the Lamenting Abomination. I'm not too dismayed though, because I am already having a very easy time on most fights. My game is on Classic difficulty playing as a custom lizard with only the Red Prince as a companion. We both have the Lone Wolf talent and well-rounded mage builds. I just got to Act 3 yesterday and smoked Alexandar's group very easily a few times before reloading and persuading Gareth to stand down, since I hadn't yet interacted with any of the related quest characters (Sallow Man). The Harbinger of Doom fight was easy, didn't even take any damage until the last couple of turns while finishing off the creature. I haven't got to the last 2 fights you listed, skipped as soon as I saw your nominations so I would have the chance to get a challenge and figure it out on my own. The two fights that I did have to work hard to win were Alice (which wasn't too bad once I learned from a few failures) and the Scarecrow things. I did get to the Scarecrows before really doing much else in Act 2, but the same was true of the Harbinger for me. I basically went North from the beach to the Livewood mill (that Lone Wolf boss guy was a hard fight!) and then took care of the Harbinger and the lizard fight by the dwarf caravan before wandering into the town and actually figuring out a more logical progression. I definitely missed a bunch of opportunities by not getting Spirit vision until well after all of the above, but there's always the next playthrough which will be on Tactician mode.

[@sebastianosuch273]

Hannag was to me the toughest fight in the game. And I stuggled even at level 16 on my first playthrough. On my second playthrough on tactican lone wolf it was much easier but still it was a great fight. I also could never manage to save the guy on the burning platform in act 2 docs during the flaming hell fight, no matter how hard I tried. I was trying to teleport him outside and stun lock him but he's very effecient at running back for his death. Alexandar fight was a big wooow because of the soundtrack. Great experience.

[@Megaman8880]

If you move the buried ornate chest inside of a tent entrence, and move to the edge of that platform on your first turn, you can actually teleport him inside of the tent and he can not escape until you move the chest out of his way after the battle is over. It's the only way I have ever been able to save him.

Only 5 is tuff. There's Aetera. Hannag. Ryker. The docter. The docter's demons. Mordus. Void woken deep dweller. Sallow man. Kniles. The reincarnating fire lizards. Trolls. The undead wizard "loci?" with the death fog squad. The freakin kraken. The demon that keeps possessing you while you fight it on blood moon island. The kid demon who wants to team up with you at the end of the game. Lord krim and his 47 guards. And who hasn't got beat trying to rush the crocodiles at level 2 right... How bout persuading the advocate to reveal the god king and getting caught in the middle of world war blood moon. Or getting jumped by the stone guards in act 2 and act 3. Or getting robbed naked upstairs at the inn...well that one is kinda your own fault... How bout the crazy assassin squad after the red prince(with the evade bow). I guess this is a list of every enemy that has tortured me at some point. The giant plant in lord kirm's garden. The bandits and demons down by the kraken. All 4 gift bag bosses. The eternal automatons. Dam! Even that crab in act 1 killed me once or twice! Those stupid death fog spiders in the sewers. more trolls. Dwarf queens. God kings. Red princesses! But the meanest 1-shot had to be the ferry man in act 2. What a asshole.

You can bless abomination to get rid of all these howl stacks, no?

[@Co27Enigma]

Aetera was such a pain when I first played Classic about 5 years ago, but actually, Braccus and his accursed Kraken was the hardest battle I fought. Now, playing the mod Divinity Unleashed, some fun mods, and accidentally giving Fane permanent God stats, Aetera wasn’t that hard (on Tactician). Mostly, I built my 6-man party around Chicken Claw and teleportation. Fane spams Time Warp and speed buffs, teleports to Aetera, then CC’s her a bunch. Just about to start Act 3.

[@MortismalGaming]

Aetera fight goes pretty easy with Medusa head!

[@Co27Enigma]

@@MortismalGaming Beast with the Spear of Braccus Rex and his Petrifying Touch would’ve been so useful in that fight. However, the Red Prince managed to clutch a win by using Master of Sparks/Bleeding Fire/Flaming Skin/Whirlwind (took multiple tries to up my Constitution to survive the Eternal Hound self-explosions). A good strategy to not die on the first turn is to shut down Aetera and then knock out her minions. Her Chain Lightning is scary.

No matter the reason, using violence (btw, he does KILL you) to get an object, even as rightful owner", that you had lost from someone else who recovered it, is at the very least ethically questionable. Imagine the repercussions, possible abuses....I can drop something I own, and when someone picks it up, I simply demand it back.

I also enjoyed the undead captain in act 1 (really tough if you dont cheese with the soul jar) or turning on and killing Slane the winter dragon and Radeka the witch
