Avadon 2: The Corruption

Dont fight him alone, get through the story (run away) and when he "lets you go", go grab your friends, come back and THEN kick its draky ass, bring fire protection, ofc.

The more golems you kill, the more damage and resistance he gets so try and snare/occupy the golems with pets from wand of calling.

Once he gets serious and you are surrounded.. well.. try and kill him as fast as you can or else you will get overwhelmed as the enemies wont stop respawning. He is immune to fire so reflect wont work on him. Try to tie down the dragon using a salamander so he wont move. You can also lure him to a gate so you wont get surrounded by the corruption.

This is a video of how I killed him on Torment.

After Base Monitor D's fight, you can talk to the Shade of Krymhylas and try to attack it but you wont be able to, since its like an illusion. Move on.

He is actually in the Northeast part of the base behind turrets, mines and powerful Incubus demons and... a closed gate.

After reporting to Avadon, I came back and the gate was open, he kicked my ass.

After Redbeard sent me to the corruption for a 2nd time, I was L28 and was able to beat him (Torment) using a couple of speed potions, group heal scrolls and wands of calling. He attacks with AOE Poison, Acid and Ice; Single Target Fire.

The other monsters/turrets will constantly spawn and add to the enemies every 5 turns, so bring your AOE to control the spawns but focus on Krymhylas, once he dies, everything disappears.

Oh yeah, you need to have started the game on Hard Difficulty or Higher for this to pop.

Good Luck!

Even if you set everything up to kill Redbread, you can still get the loyal ending by not attacking Redbeard and telling him you want to remain a loyal hand (maybe it also triggers by choosing other posts/roles, idk).

Get on Heart Protus side to get his special item which helps a lot against Redbeard.
Also join the rebels (or pretend to) to get on Dheless good side and get his special item.

If the achievement doesnt pop, you might want to retry from the trapdoor and talk to Dheless again, this time telling him to f*** off.

I did sweet talk him though to get this item and still got the achievement.

Just a small note here: The "endgame" is when you reach Fort Foresight's cellar in the mission "The final hunt", after escaping the rebel base and escaping the rebel assault outside Fort Foresight, after getting the medal, you can easily use the scrolls in the Redbeard fight so DONT sell any resurrection scrolls thinking they are useless in your run because of this achievement.

Cheers.

You start this quest when you talk to the Hand Esmee in the Fort Rockridge HQ.
Like most achievement quests, it has several parts to it, you wont be able to finish this until you are sent to the Titan lands.

Once you find her beneath the specimen chambers, you must save her by not killing her, its easier said than done. In the first phase, Dymas will attack you with spells.

Once Dymas is less than 50% HP, Dymas will regain all HP and freeze, she wont attack anymore.

After the enemies begin to spawn, do notice that you can still accidentally kill Eye Dymas during the fight, invalidating this achievement.

A bunch of enemies will come out of the circle, some have spine shield and others reflection so be careful with your AOE spells and attacks, specially to NOT hit Dymas with them.

Use a skill with knockback to push Dymas away from the circle where the monsters spawn, Dymas will be frozen and wont attack.

Learn your turret's range and position them to attack the enemies but not Dymas, you can use pets from wands of calling/shaman powers to make some sort of wall between the summoning circle and you, tying the enemies down. Dymas will not attack this whole time but she can take damage and if she dies, the achievement will be missed.

I didnt count but it felt I had killed 30 or 50 enemies before it stopped and I got the achievement.
It also might be the number of "waves" that spawn, but Im not sure.

You wont be able to open a gate until you talk to Basilia in town and get the quest from her AND are about to go to your 2nd trip to the Corruption but then.. surprise, surprise, there is a 2nd locked gate. This one wont open until you survive several waves of enemies.. then make a sketch and wait..after you deal with Konstantina's lair, you will be sent to Tawon again and you can finally reach the core for a final fight.

Read this thread if you are having trouble with it:

When you are finally able to leave Avadon, you can get a sidequest to go to the Avadon's dungeons and go south to help with an interrogation. Chabon is a tinkermage, a very naughty one.
Just remember that once you meet Chabon for the first time, you cant go back up to Avadon to refresh your vitality.

So have a save before going down there in case the quest is too tough.
After a few fights, you wont be able to follow him through the Deep Dungeons, go back and report.

Once you report back from your first trip to the Corruption, you can continue this quest and surprise, surprise, he fled deeper underground and you wont be able to continue until you finish Tawon's first trip storyline, then you can finish it off.

In the final fight, just try to survive until help comes.

The first important part is when you enter Ogre's Thicket, so read the thread above carefully.
The second one is in Titan's lands. You need to side with the rebels against Odil but dont fear, you can still support Redbeard at the end.

After you kill Odil, Silke will finally spawn into the map so, go back to the rebel camp and

Some other advice for the final fight, there's actually two key items that are super helpful in this fight since they disable Redbread's super powerful powerups.

Point of No Return

This is the point of no return, once you go in that trapdoor, you wont be able to finish any sidequests.
So make sure you have all sidequest missables achievements and companion quests done.

This trapdoor will only appear after you speak to Redbeard during the mission: "The final hunt"

• After getting the final quest: The Final Hunt go ahead and prepare.
• Use the enhancement forge on all your best gear.
• Use your money to buy the blessings from the witch at NE of Temple of Aetius.
• Use the retraining in Fort Foresight to remove lockpicking boosts you've had for extra skill points.
• Buy from the same trainer trinkets/scarabs you might need, buy scrolls, potions, everything, you wont need money after the end.
• Distribute all your scrolls/potions to the companions you will use.
• Equip/Level the rest of the companions, use leftover enhancement spheres on them.

All done? travel to the trapdoor and make a Hard Save before going in (Do not overwrite)

Just a reminder that if you want to make both Loyal and Rebel endings a little bit easier you must have betrayed Odil and convinced Dheless you are on his side to get two important items that will help you against Redbeard AND also done all companion quests in their favor.

Getting Powerful Items against Redbeard

Get on Heart Protus side to get his special item which helps a lot against Redbeard.
Also join the rebels (or pretend to) to get on Dheless good side and get his special item.

Choose to bring all your companions with you to the fight, if its too tough, I believe you can also lower the difficulty once you get all other medals, so leave this as your final achievement and go ahead and lower the difficulty to Normal if he gets too tough.

Here is a video of how I did it:
