Despite fighting alone, Gandrel is a capable combatant thanks to his high [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], [[Hit Points]], and his ability to use an {{SAI|Extra Attack}}. He can also use any arrows in his inventory to hit party members who are bunched up. These become even more effective when he is low on health, as he will deal constant [[Critical Hit]]s through his {{SAI|Scar of Fury}} passive. He can also use a variety of ranger spells, which can often apply negative conditions or deal AoE damage.
Despite fighting alone, Gandrel is a capable combatant due to his high [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], [[Hit Points]], and ability to use {{SAI|Extra Attack}}. He can fire the arrows in his inventory to strike multiple party members in a small area, which become more effective at low health due to his {{SAI|Scar of Fury}} passive that causes constant [[Critical Hit]]s. Additionally, several of his ranger spells can apply negative conditions or deal AoE damage.


Beyond killing him through a cutscene, it is best to take Gandrel by surprise. Since he relies on ranged attacks, keeping him constantly {{cond|Threatened|threatened}} will lower his attacks' chances to hit; though at lower levels he will likely land attacks anyway. If Astarion is in the party, Gandrel will focus attacks on him above everyone else, making Astarion a guaranteed distraction. Although a formidable foe, {{cond|Ensnared|ensnaring}} him, or knocking him {{cond|Prone|prone}} are effective ways to limit his mobility and keep him in melee range. Buying up all his arrows and potions beforehand will prevent him from using them against the party.

Due to his reliance on ranged attacks, it is possible to position a party member next to him to apply the {{Cond|Threatened}} condition to lower his ranged accuracy.

Although Gandrel is a formidable foe, {{Cond|Ensnared|ensnaring}} him or knocking him {{Cond|Prone|prone}} are effective ways to limit his mobility and hold him in melee range. It is also possible to prevent him from using arrows and potions during combat by purchasing them in advance or pickpocketing him.
