Need help killing Sherincal

Remove all ads!

I want to know if anyone had any suggestions about killing sherincal, when i attack him he only goes down to "Barely injured" and stays there no matter how long i sit there( longest I have sat and just waited is about 5 minutes) Am i not waiting long enough or is there a potion that i should use?

P.S. I have a semi-strong party

 

I think "he" is a "her".

 

And you should include more information about the party. Class and levels particurarly.

 

I have an idea about it ... do you have the weimer ease of use installed and use the armor improvement that makes them reduce damage? and you are using missiles against her ? that way you wont kill her. depening on your casters stats and spells you use against her magic may fail as well.

you have to shoot the button near the top of the ice-stairs to make them not reject you. sherincal is weak in closecombat.

 

I believe theres some guy in lower SE corner that can buff your party up for a price (he sells some stuff also).

You can drag sherincal's party away before fighting her to reduce the challenge.

If your problem is in HoF then you can kill her with a malisom+finger of death/wail (shes not immune).

If you need more help, please post your party.

Make sure whoever goes upfront with Sherincal has protection from fear and electricity. It would also be good if s/he is non-human nor half-human.

 

Draw the rest of the enemies like the barbarian shaman and the wyvern out and kill them, then go after Sherincal.

 

The Sherincal fight is one of the tougher and more interesting fights in the game. The tips mentioned here should be helpful. Also, one cheesy trick is that you can buy buffs from Zack Boosebury for characters attacking Sherincal even if only one of them is down talking to Zack. One of the most useful thing Zack sells is Fireshield Red (or Blue). If you use this then at least you get some benefit from the fact that Sherincal almost always hits you.

 

I just fought Sherincal yesterday. I thought it was a bit too easy for my solo Monk (level 9). I took out all of her "assistants" and then managed to get her to come down the stairs after me. She kept casting spells at me, but I evaded them all. While she was casting, I kept firing +2 bolts at her. Eventually, she went down for the count. I never had to engage her in melee. I think this was more of a fluke than anything because I remember this battle being a lot tougher in other cases.

 

When I fought Sherincal, It was not easy, but I managed to do it without buying buffs. I think it was because I had a well-balanced party to begin with. I had my paladin, monk, and fighter engage her in melee combat. While, my Necromancer and Cleric and Ranger hit him hard with spells and arrows. My party was at an average level of ten I think, I can't remember. The fight lasted about ten minutes. After I killed her, the rest of them were a piece of cake.

 

Thanks you, I just finished fighting him (or her) and I beat it. Thanks again for the tips!

 

I just finished Sherincal, and found the fight pretty easy - the 2nd time

I finished with hardly any hp loss from any of my characters (though I went through a few summons)

The first time, she shot a lightning bolt at the party that killed my sorc before the battle started. Reload...

The next time, I kept my party around the corner, and sent in my cleric/monk/ranger who had haste and stoneskin.

He went in, pulled the followers, 1 or 2 at a time, and who ran right into my ambush around the corner and got slaughtered. Finally when only Sherincal and a shaman were left, the party came out to the main dais. We took out the shaman fast, and kept summoning creatures at the top with Sherincal, while hitting her with spells from below until she died. Lance of disruption does a ton of damage to her, and the standards like magic missile, and aganazzar's scorcher did fine too - she went down fast. I didn't bother with ranged weapons, because she seemed to have lots of damage resistance (like 1damage/10resisted). Never bothered getting in reach of melee (actually didn't know I could climb the stairs because I kept getting the message about hitting the lever to climb

BTW - my party is:
Lathlander7/monk1/ranger1 (SpellPenetration1)
Tempus8/Barbarian1
Sorc6/Paladin2 (SpellPenetration1)
Sorc7 (SpellPenetration2, FocusEvocation1)
Wiz7/Rogue1 (SpellPenetration2, FocusEvocation2)
