Wounded party members can use [[Disengage]] to leave the platform or move to a few small areas at the very edge of it outside the {{Cond|Bone Chilled|bone chill}} aura, and downed ones can be shoved off the platform by others if necessary.

Party members having trouble hitting the Apostle can turn to area-of-effect attacks, such as spells or {{SmRarityItem|Smokepowder Bomb}}s. The Apostle's immobility allows certain spells such {{SAI|Wall of Fire}} to continuously damage it each turn.

* If [[Gale]] uses his [[Netherese Orb Blast]] during the second encounter with Ketheric, the game can end at this very moment, allowing the party to kill Ketheric Thorm, [[Enver Gortash]], [[Orin the Red]] and the [[Absolute]] in one fell swoop. This only works during the cutscene; using the ability outside of the cutscene will trigger a [[Game Over]] as usual.

* Ketheric has [[Necrotic]] resistance and [[Poison]] immunity on Tactician difficulty.
* If you are an [[Oathbreaker]] [[Paladin]] above level 11, it is possible to use [[Control Undead]] on the Apostle of Myrkul and have him fight for you against his minions. His movement speed of 0 means he will not follow you anywhere to fight anyone out of his range. You could then attack him again and kill him while he remains friendly and won't fight back. This death however will not trigger the cut scene where he turns back to Kethric or the Dream Visitor returns. Looting the body of the Apostle will give you a supply pack, a letter from Isobel, Kethric's Warhammer, and Kethric's Shield, but not the Reaper's Scythe, Reaper's Embrace or Ketheric's Netherstone. This option thus prevents the game from progressing to Act 3.
* Susdera and the Necromites can be slain without angering Ketheric by reaching the roof of Moonrise Towers before [[Aylin]] is met and remaining far away from Ketheric. This makes it possible to leave him with no allies when the party finally confronts him. [[Susdera]] is especially vulnerable to being pushed or displaced in some manner due to her proximity to a lethal drop.
