Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Final battles imbalance: Hammer spell too cheesy?

Hammer spell is powerful - but I killed the end boss without it:
1. Sneak + arrows (needs patience)
2. Sneak + magic (ethereal magic fireball was nice), very effective, better than hammer, faster.
3. Melee + hammer spell. Here I had to use that spell, as melee attacks lets the end boss summon allies. This is not the case for ranged attacks (including ranged magic).

Summ dolls: If you strip your boss enemy of all skill pts and put his into the summ. dolls => did you try this for the end battle? It won't affect his end abilities, but you have stronger dolls.
