Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Question about the bosses

In both the Axe of Stone quest and the Elven Ceremonial objects quest I am faced with a dungeon that is a breeze to go through only to be met with an opponent at the end that seriously kicks my behind! I'm not sure what spell the lady was using on me, hellspikes I think, but it was hitting for 300 to 400 damage a pop and kept me from attack since everytime it she cast it on me my character would run around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to find a place to stand that wasn't spike infested. I was using both shield spells but neither had any affect on the spikes and the constant running around was keeping me from doing any attacking period not to mention the fact that I was pumping F1 pretty fast due to the combination of the spikes and the deathknight spells. I had the same problem with the wizard guarding the Axe of Stone, but I cheesed my way out of that one by running all the way back to the sentry with him following me, then I went into stealth mode and headed back to the Axe. He reappears there and then departs, leaving me to the Axe. I'm level 38 but have only 440 vitality, haven't found any decent runes to increase it much. I usually kill stuff from a distance so in close combat life sucks!

Josefina is a real though one. I suggest you do a search on this forum on Josefina you'll find a lot of usfull tips.

Heres mine: blind her!

Have a look in this thread, e.g.: Josephina

Here's my tip <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />: use scorpion traps, throw them around her, run away and wait.
Or don't run away and meanwhile use some strong magical spells on her, that should do the trick.

Good luck!

All good advice, but a)I never allocated any skill points to making traps, and b)I have no strong magic. I mainly went the brute force method <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> I had no clue how strong the traps were until I read about them in this forum. The traps combined with Aura of Command that is.

I beat her by simply having something like 60 resoration potions on me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Basically wack her and drink potions like mad.

Josephina?? not a very tough boss also...but it's quite challenging though.. u r now level 38 and why is ur vitality so low? i guess u use mage or survivor right? if u use warrior, Josephina is not a threat even a bit..u don even have to restore ur health to beat her...
if u use mage, elemental hail would be a nice magic to deal with her...
she can disappear once she casted the hellspike but don't worry, just look at ur toggled map and u will saw her..just cast that elemental hail and everything will be just fine... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />
