I tried killing her with strict 5e. It was impossible. Up until her and the hag fight, I could beat everything using strict 5e rules, but these 2 boss fights, the bosses are too buffed. They are too extreme.
It didn't feel impossibly to me, I didn't mod to remove those but I did choose to fight her head on, only lost my main Warlock PC and even then brought him back immediately. I don't really use food and scrolls are for Gale and my Warlock.
