Did you complete all other quests in the imp village before giving the ingredients to the alchemist?


Have your mage invest in the shaman nature magic spell Hammer (you can learn it from the hermit in the spider forest). Set your archer to aggressive (right click on portrait) to automatically attack, while you have the mage run around as a distraction, casting Hammer to stun the shaman (and possibly do a bit of bone damage) so he can not attack or heal for a short time.

The shaman has high resistances to poison, shadow, bone and elemental damage types. He is vulnerable to etheral damage, so use weapons/spells that do that or conventional damage (slashing, piercing or crushing).

The following top contains some hints and links to similar topics: i cant kill the shaman!!!! aarrrgggg


How have your distributed your stat points? If you always have problems with the shaman you are either favouring weapons he is resistant to or you may be neglecting some stats. There are some general suggestions in the math appendix of the Beyond Divinity Strategy Guide.
