Dadalama Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 hehe I actually had a problem with this a few times before I figured it out (and felt like an idiot). Spread your peeps out. He's pretty weak but he uses a LOT of AOE spells. So spread your peeps out, concentrate on him. If you have two melee only characters, don't have them all huddled in the same side. You'll get a chance to rest again real soon so hit him with everything you got. It's good to criticize things you love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckmann Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 You beat on him very hard with sharpened sticks of metal. Once you have broken his femur neck, punt him hard, and he should keel over. Proceed to brutalize him and steal the money he keeps in his coffee jar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0rsuk Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think literally the only way you can fail this fight is if you get stuck on monsters he summons instead of fighting Maerwald themselves. The summons are completely irrelevant, they disappear once their master dies. Character backgrounds explored (Callisca) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voss Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) I think literally the only way you can fail this fight is if you get stuck on monsters he summons instead of fighting Maerwald themselves. The summons are completely irrelevant, they disappear once their master dies. Its actually easier on hard, because there are fewer summons, and they don't automatically block the path to Maerwald. The big problem is is getting caught on the scenery and not realizing the bedroll and crap on the floor isn't valid to walk over. If you stay bunched up, it can be easy to be burned down.

Volourn Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 This could very well be the easiest 'main' fight in the game. Literally all you have to is click spam him. Easy peasy beautiful. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anameforobsidian Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 If you're having a really hard time with him, send one character into the room. Then when the battle starts, run down to the spiders or beetles in the rooms on the bottom. They're different factions, and the two sides will kill each other while you watch.

Longknife Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Shoot him. 1 "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him." Is your mom hot? It may explain why guys were following her ?

Razorchain Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Maerwald? The old watcher? Is he hard to kill? Must admit that I haven't played Potd only hard but he didn't put up much of a fight. Last time I paralyzed him with my cipher while my fighter and barbarian ran up to him and kept him stunlocked on his butt until he died. I sent my Paladin Tank to keep his summon busy while the other 5 characters ganked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojobobo Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 If you keep healing his spell uses run out. As long as you target him he goes down pretty easy. This is based on soloing him on PotD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billythegreat Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) My party ( 5 at that time)was equipped with 2 fine arbalests,1 plain arquebus, Hold well arbalest and a fine pistol on Eder. All 5 shooting at Marwald as opening volley gets him pretty chunked. Edited April 24, 2015 by billythegreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much **** like this in PoE and it's incredibly frustrating. You never know where you can walk and where you can't, and I constantly find myself screaming internally "I CAN SEE THAT I FIT THERE! I CAN LITERALLY MEASURE THE SIZE OF YOUR FAT ASS AND I CAN *SEE* THAT YOU FIT THERE STOP RUNNING AROUND THE ****ING ROOM!". The amount of battles I've lost due to bad pathing and world environment collision probably accounts for over 90% of the fights I've lost, and I'm not even joking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knownastherat Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) No kidding. If there's one thing I dislike about the game its pathing. I think the Maerwald fight is kind of nice change after those cold Spirits. Unlike the large hall, the small room and rooms around offer different challenge and so does the boss himself. While Its not Kangaxx there are possibly indeed 50 ways to win this fight. Edited April 24, 2015 by knownastherat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwiebelchen Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The key to the Maerwald battle (and pretty much every battle involving fire blights) is to concentrate on the non-blight enemies first. If you kill a fire blight, you're up for a big explosion for tons of damage. Also, if possible, apply some extra elemental DRs via buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Darkholme Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Just leave one off melee in the room, run out with the rest, let the melee kill one or two summons and die, send the rest of your party in and focus on Maerwald now, he has expended most Aoes on the off guy and is easy to kill.
