The last phase of the fight begins as soon as Ketheric is killed, and this time the party faces the '''Apostle of Myrkul'''. Twisted by necrotic magic, the Apostle takes up the entire space in the center of the room, summoning necromites as the fight begins. | |||
During this phase, up to four additional [[Skeletal Involucre]]s will be created at random points at the edges of the battle space at the end of every turn. Since the involucres are resistant to piercing damage but vulnerable to bludgeoning damage, party members with access to highly mobile summons that have powerful melee attacks, such as {{c link|Elementals|nocat}}, will find themselves in good shape on this front. | During this phase, up to four additional [[Skeletal Involucre]]s will be created at random points at the edges of the battle space at the end of every turn.

* If [[Gale]] uses his [[Netherese Orb Blast]] during the second encounter with Ketheric, the game can end at this very moment, allowing the party to kill Ketheric Thorm, [[Enver Gortash]], [[Orin the Red]] and the [[Absolute]] in one fell swoop. This only works during the cutscene; using the ability outside of the cutscene will trigger a [[Game Over]] as usual. | * If [[Gale]] uses his [[Netherese Orb Blast]] during the second encounter with Ketheric, the game can end at this very moment, allowing the party to kill Ketheric Thorm, [[Enver Gortash]], [[Orin the Red]] and the [[Absolute]] in one fell swoop.

* Susdera and the Necromites can be slain without angering Ketheric by reaching the roof of Moonrise Towers before [[Aylin]] is met and remaining far away from Ketheric. This makes it possible to leave him with no allies when the party finally confronts him. [[Susdera]] is especially vulnerable to being pushed or displaced in some manner due to her proximity to a lethal drop. | |||
* If you are an [[Oathbreaker]] [[Paladin]] above level 11, it is possible to use [[Control Undead]] on the Apostle of Myrkul and have him fight for you against his minions. His movement speed of 0 means he will not follow you anywhere to fight anyone out of his range. You could then attack him again and kill him while he remains friendly and won't fight back. This death however will not trigger the cut scene where he turns back to Kethric or the Dream Visitor returns. Looting the body of the Apostle will give you a supply pack, a letter from Isobel, Kethric's Warhammer, and Kethric's Sheild, but not the Reaper's Scythe, Reaper's Embrace or Kethric's Netherstone. This option thus prevents the game from progressing to Act 3. | * If you are an [[Oathbreaker]] [[Paladin]] above level 11, it is possible to use [[Control Undead]] on the Apostle of Myrkul and have him fight for you against his minions.
