I had some trouble with this one, read some of the posts here about how to do it, but i wanted to add a few pointers, that made the difference for me. I used I think like 3 health pots and 3 mana pots. You can get this achievement by going trough the area on casual or whatever, and change the difficulty to hard or nighmare before you start the final cut scene. This makes it a bit easier atleast :)
Setup: Arcane Warrior, Spirit Healer and Battle Mage
Stats:
40 dex
25 con
60 magic
rest in willpower (for me that gave me 55, i know i didn't have that many points)
Skills:
4 points in Clarity
4 points in Vitality
4 points in Combat Training
Rest in Combat Tacs
Spells:
FadeShield (passive)
Attunment (passive)
Cleansing Aura (substained) (you also get group heal and revival)
Fade Shroud (passive) (also gets shimmering shield for better survival)
Stoic(passive) (draining aura is included)
Spellbloom(activated) use this for mana regen
DeathSyphon(substained)
DeathHex and MisdirectionHex (activated) (also get affliction and vulnerbility hex)
Walking Nighmare(activated)
Curse of Mortality(activated)
You could include Mass Rejuvination, but i only used it once in the battle.
Predefined Tactics:
Set each of you party member to attack only the boss, ignore the minions.
You do this by entering the Select Tactis section and on each of the skills, where it says enemy:... or surrounded by.. i changed to:
Enemy-> Rank -> Target Rank is Boss
I also removed some of the surrounded by, cause them seemed more useless when only one target.
I but Jerrik to be an Aggressive Scrapper, and i removed Quack and Hurl from the Golem.
This sets my party members to focus only on the boss, and you dont wast time on the minions, this can you handle with the switch or walking nightmare. You can also try sleep, horror or hand of winter to crowd controll them.
Fight:
I activated Cleansing Aura and Death Syphon. This gived my teammates health, and i get some mana, that i need to keep my mana pool from running dry.
I charged in and threw on Death Hex and Misdirectional Hex, which i belive was another key factor in this fight. Then i go to the switch and turn it off. (If you don't know how, use either the :dup: infront of the switch and click :abut:, or :ltbut:, look at the switch and click :abut:)
Keep casting some hexes, especialy Death Hex and Misdirectional Hex. Don't let your team mates die, and revive if possible, and always try to keep their health at atleast 75%. Remmeber if you got the revival scroll for the golem, he can revive aswell. Don't run out of mana, then your substained skills will deactivate, if you do, reactivate them asap. Use Shimmering Shroud if nessecary. Use spellbloom when to regen better.(not sure if it's important)
Use walking nightmare on the skellies, unless the red mist jsut came, then go use the switch, and the skellies will die.
Soon stage 2, where the head of the Reaper jumps down starts. Now there will be no more switch to focus on, so just keep doing what you where. Remember to crowd controll with walking nightmare etc. Remember to always use Death Hex and Misdirectional Hex, and also Curse of Mortality. Few seconds after you kill him, the achievement will pop.
Those hexes made the difference for me, and also i belive the tactics where i focused on attacking only Boss. Another important thing is the mana regen, that i suffered b4. I always went out of mana, and my substained spell deactivated, makeing everything **** up. Atleast this was my way of doing it, and I hope it can be helpfull for atleast one soul out there!
Good luck and have fun ;)
