Just beat the hag today on the 3rd try. And really enjoyed the fight and storyline leading up to it.
Good job making the hag creepy.
I'm not sure how I felt about the fight, while it was definitely satisfying to finally beat her (with all characters but gale down he popped out of a fog cloud and got a lucky shockwave that knocked her down the hole, screaming like Darth Sidieous.
But wow, hardest fight in the game in my opinion.
The first time I fought her was at max level (4) with good gear and she wiped my entire party and killed the girl I was meant to rescue before I got a turn on a single character, and Asterion was in my party with a Dex of 19.
Second time through I stealthed in one character at a time and immediately popped a fog cloud. Then played some hit and run, jumping out to attack, then running back in the cloud game.
This worked for a while but then she caught me on a round with my cloud down and smashed most of my party.
Only a very lucky shockwave took here out.
I'm thinking there might be another way to take out her duplicates with magic missiles or something, but I don't know, she makes them really fast.
Has anyone won this fight without mad steath usage? I'm not sure it's possible with the level 4 cap.
