Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer Hints

Gulk'aush Combat Tips

  • 1 of 7: She has a powerful fear aura about her that'll send your characters fleeing for the dark corners if they can't resist it.
  • 2 of 7: Make sure Safiya has "Mind Blank, Extend Spell" in a level 9 slot, then rest for 8 hours in order to get her to memorize it. Yes, you'll lose some spirit energy, but it'll be worth it unless you're already critically low.
  • 3 of 7: Instead of that, you could equip items on characters that make them immune to fear or to mind-affecting spells in general.
  • 4 of 7: Go inside Gulk'aush's room and start attacking her with whoever isn't weak-minded enough to run off in terror.
  • 5 of 7: If you know ahead of time who's likely to succumb to the fear aura, you could try having them hold back and use spells and/or ranged weapons on Gulk'aush.
  • 6 of 7: When you beat the hag's health down, she'll possess one of your companions, most likely Safiya.
  • 7 of 7: You'll have to knock her out, then fight the hag in her true form again until she surrenders and starts talking to you.
