The first part of the encounter with Ketheric takes place atop [[Moonrise Towers]]. Ketheric will be joined by {{CharLink|Susdera}}, his loyal dog {{CharLink|Squire}}, as well as eight [[Necromite|Necromites]]. Susdera will stand immediately before the party, while Ketheric will stand on the small balcony behind her, with necromites flanking the stairs to him on both sides. The party can make a {{Ability Check|Persuasion|18}} followed by a {{Ability Check|Persuasion|30}} to persuade him to stand down. A successful persuasion will not prevent the battle from taking place, but is a prerequisite for a later {{Ability Check|Persuasion|18}} in the [[Mind Flayer Colony]]. | The first part of the encounter with Ketheric takes place atop [[Moonrise Towers]].

Ketheric boasts an impressive 22 AC and thus may be very difficult for the party to hit. Additionally, though his Dexterity skill is relatively low, he has advantage on Dexterity Saving Throws via {{SmRarityItem|Ketheric's Shield}}. Spells with a Dexterity saving throw can still be used should Ketheric activate his armour {{SmRarityItem|Reaper's Embrace}}, which negates the advantage he has. He is also immune to {{Cond|Charmed|Charm}} and {{Cond|Sleeping|Sleep}} due to his {{pass|Fey Ancestry}}. As an [[undead]] he is also immune to many crowd control spells such as {{SAI|Command}} and {{SAI|Hold Person}}. However, he can be affected by the {{SmRarityItem|Ring of Exalted Marrow}}. | Ketheric boasts an impressive 22 AC and thus may be very difficult for the party to hit.

Doing so is not advised, as it will make this fight far more difficult than it usually is. | * Killing {{CharLink|Kar'niss}} before this battle keeps things simpler.

Ketheric will still be downstairs, but Susedra and all 8 necromites will be there; they can be then slowly stealth-attacked to defeat with far less fanfare, while the {{SmRarityItem|Ring of Exalted Marrow}} also becomes available for use against undead opponents (including Ketheric) for the rest of the game. Some useful stealth-enhancing equipment for this purpose may include, but not be limited to: | ||
** {{SmRarityItem|The Graceful Cloth}} - along with the wearer having a natural 18 {{Ability|Dexterity}} | |||
** {{SmRarityItem|Ring of Shadows}} | |||
** {{SmRarityItem|Shapeshifter's Boon Ring}} | |||
** {{SmRarityItem|Smuggler's Ring}} (can replace the Shapeshifter's Boon Ring after its benefits are applied) | |||
** {{SmRarityItem|Gloomstrand Shield}} | |||
** {{SmRarityItem|Silver Pendant}} | |||
** And, while not strictly stealth enhancing, {{SmRarityItem|The Deathstalker Mantle}} can also be quite helpful | |||
