=== Tactics === | |||
Despite fighting alone, '''Gandrel''' is quite a capable fighter thanks to his high [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], [[Hit Points]] and able to use an [[Extra Attack]]. He also uses arrows effectively to hit party members who are grouped up, even more so when he's at low health as he will deal constant [[Critical Hit|Critical Hits]]. He will also use plenty of ranger spells to either hinder or deal AoE damage. Overall, his danger just comes from his pure damage potential and rate of attacks. | |||
Beyond killing him through a cutscene, its best to take the monster hunter by surprise. Since he relies on ranged attacks, keeping him constantly [[Threatened (Condition)|Threatened]] will hinder his chances of hitting, though at a low level he will likely hit anyway. If [[Astarion]] is in the party, he will focus on him above everyone else, making the vampire spawn a good distraction. While difficult, [[Ensnared (Condition)|Ensnared]] or knocking him [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]] are effective ways to limit his mobility and keep him in melee range. Also before hand, it is quite to buy up all his arrows and potions to he can't use them against you. | |||
