Tactics

If fought, Viconia is one of the more difficult opponents in the game. She is continuously affected by the conditions Nightbringer's Beloved Nightbringer's Beloved and Radiant Retort Radiant Retort and begins the battle under the effect of Sanctuary Sanctuary. She gains unique spells depending on your answers during the Mapping of the Heart and the "Heartform" (False Heart, Craven Heart, etc) she determines you have.

  • e.g. saying you're afraid of turning into a Mind Flayer gives her the spell Mapped Terror: Ceremorphosis to make that character believe they have undergone ceremorphosis, preventing them from moving or taking actions for a turn. Viconia also gains the spell Castigate Heartform which allows her to put the relevant Heartform debuff on you, e.g. False Heart which lasts until the next long rest or until you get silenced and which makes you have disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws and makes Viconia's attacks against you automatically crit.
    • As the beastly Heartform Terrors are illusions, Dominate Beast doesn't work on them.

She is supported by approximately twenty allies including two powerful Justiciar Crusaders and four Sharran Fidelian mages. All of her allies are capable of controlling the arena with Darkness Darkness and casting synergistic spells like Overwhelming Grief Overwhelming Grief. All possess the Shadow Ambush Shadow Ambush passive, allowing them to deal massive Necrotic damage to the party; they also liberally use Bone Chill Bone Chill to prevent healing.
