Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks What to do with the Historian?

Pro Tip:

You don't need a spell at all.

1)
Use Phoenix Dive/Vault/Tactical Retreat/Teleport to get up onto the pedestal with him

OR

Use Teleport to teleport him off the pedestal.

2)

Attack a party member with Right Click + Attack or if you have the attack action bound. Do this repreatedly so as to "race" the physical armor regen. Once you start doing vitality damage, they will leave copious pools of blood.

3)

Either position the blood balloon character right next to him and get a little bit lucky with the splashes

OR

Make a blood pool and teleport the Historian into it

4)

Cast bless on him, the ground, on everything until it completes it.

Ultimate Pro Tip:
Just remove the armor before attacking your comrade... Or still just get an elf an use flesh sacrifice.

Was it just me or was there no hint to actually do this? I did not come across anything in game to suggest using blood and bless. How are we suppose to do this without looking it up online?

What to do with historian: Kill him as long as you still can, for making your life hell with his screaming.
I did the blood thing in hope of killing him after dialogue and he simply disappeared.
