== Tactics == | |||
===Accessing the Netherbrain === | |||
* [[Dimension Door]], [[Arcane Gate]] and [[Misty Step]] are all useful spells to have assigned or distributed as scrolls for moving from the entrance to "[[Atop the Netherbrain]]", over to the Crown of Karsus. | |||
* Stepping anywhere on the brainy surface will summon tentacles, so it may be easier to approach from the two platforms on either side. Otherwise, if intending to sprint across, using a character who can avoid [[Opportunity Attack]]s, such as one with the [[Mobile]] feat. | |||
* [[Globe of Invulnerability]] is also useful for protecting the caster of [[Karsus' Compulsion]]. '''However''', the nearby [[Mind Flayer]]s will still be able to {{cond|Stunned|stun}} creatures inside the globe, which ends the spell prematurely. | |||
** Tossing Mind Flayers over the edge with moves like [[Telekinesis]] will not kill them, as they will just reappear atop the Netherbrain. | |||
* Only party members can enter the Netherbrain's Psych, so once the portal is open it is no longer necessary to continue fighting other enemies. | |||
=== Fighting the Netherbrain === | |||
* With [[Tactician]], the Netherbrain will have 450 hit points. | |||
* The Netherbrain's hit point total can be reduced initially from rolling a natural 20 for the final skill check in the [[Morphic Pool]] | |||
* For each round, the first attack against the Brain will cause it to use [[Retributive Brainquake]] which will damage everything in range | |||
* The Brain will use [[Orb of Negation]] to summon several orbs which cause damage at the end of the next round. These orbs will destroy the platforms beneath them, so it is important to move characters off of any marked platforms. Further, the brain should be quickly killed before all platforms are destroyed. | |||
