Grachus Options

[Lemernis]

I hate to admit it, but I wonder if Grachus's Wind Horrors are too much for the particular party I'm using. My guess is I could probably take Grachus and only the three summoned undead humans. But not along with those four Horrors as well.

I'm using an unconventional party composition, and I guess it's now catching up with me:

PC Wild Mage 7
Imoen Thief 8
Minsc Berserker 8 (via Drew's mini-mod)
Xzar Necomancer 7
Tiax Cleric 6/Thief 7
Finch Cleric 7

I just cannot seem to find a way to fend off Grachus' seven powerful undead summons. I'm at the point where I'm considering going back to a pre-Grey Clan save and leaving this adventure for a future, more conventional party.

Before I give up, any thoughts on how I can get defeat Grachus with this bunch?

(Note: I'm playing with Sword Coast Stratagems installed. I have no idea if those amazing AI tweaks overlap with TGC's content or not, but they don't appear to.)

Yeah, Grachus does speak with Tergius. I've tried the things you've recommended to no avail.

Rarely have I begun to experience this level of frustration over a computer game, heh! I'm a patient person, but this is testing my limits.

With a BG1 party, I am taking on an opponent who best I can reckon would probably defeat some of the most formidable enemies in Throne of Bhaal. Why am I even attempting this, lol?

I understand that you have balanced it by adding high level allies--which is a novel approach. And it does require somewhat unusual tactics--it's super difficult and it's different so kudos for that.

I guess I would just rather have a fighting chance without the help of uber allies. But then that would not be the mod you have designed.

A party without decent tankitude doesn't appear to have a snowball's chance in hell of winning this battle.
