Overview

Combat

This page focuses on Sarevok Anchev's behavior during combat encounters.

This page is a list of information, rather than a guide. Please refer to separate pages for full combat guides.

Murder Tribunal

Sarevok can be fought at the Murder Tribunal in the Lower City Sewers. He is joined by echos of Sendai, Illasera and Amelyssan.

It is also possible for That Which Guards, That Which Lurks, and That Which Watches to join the fight as well. While initially not part of the battle, they can get involved should they any of the combatants get too close to their position by the main entrance. Conversely, the three automatically die and can be looted once Sarevok is killed, since they were specters summoned by him.

If the player convinces Dolor to take up arms against the Murder Tribunal, Sarevok will cast Power Word Kill on Dolor, instantly killing him.
