Ending Ketheric Thorme's immortality
Before we embark on the fight against Ketheric Thorme, we will have to check together some mandatory checkpoints on Baldur's Gate 3! For example, you will need to You have gone to Shar's Gauntlet to look for Chantenuit.
If it is not yet done, we leave you with this guide which reveals to you how to overcome the journeys of this place. Once it's good, you will find Chantenuit and you will have an important choice to make, spare her or kill her.
Take the first option since it is by far the best, especially by removing the invincibility which until now protected Ketheric Thorme. Then return to the inn to launch the assault on the Hautelune towers in the company of Jaheira and the next stage will be at the top of these.
Be aware that if you kill Chantenuit, Jaheira will not survive the assault and will therefore not be recruitable. In addition, if you deliver it to Ketheric, you will obviously be able to defeat him afterwards but instead of having the right to the first phase which we tell you about just after, you will go to prison and you will have to escape.
The first phase at the top of the Hautelune towers
If you chose something other than delivering Chantenuit to Ketheric, you will arrive at the top of the Hautelune towers at the end of the assault and Ketheric will be waiting for you there. After a short discussion, the first phase of the fight begins and it is rather simple.
If you spared Chantenuit, she joins the fight and it's even more so! No need to worry about your HP Besides, even if they drop to zero, she doesn't really die. You can therefore completely ignore it during the fight.
Kill the enemies, then drop Ketheric Thorme's life to 50%. There, a cutscene starts and you discover that the depths of the towers are infested with Mind Flayers. However, you set out to pursue Ketheric in this hostile environment.
Second phase of the fight against Ketheric Thorme
In the Illithid nest, We advise you to save Mizora if you care about Wyll. Once that's done, go to the platform from where you can start the second phase of the fight. Before, you can blow up Gale if you want, which unlocks one of the game's bad endings.
As for the fight itself, it is not that simple and will initially ask you to do everything to free Chantenuit who will be a valuable ally for the rest of the fight. Also plan area spells to try to kill as many enemies as possible as quickly as possible.
Finally, plan one last character, preferably quite tanky, to send him on Ketheric Thorme and make him take his damage while inflicting some on him. Once you have defeated the latter, surprise, a third phase will be triggered with the avatar of Myrkul.
It's pretty bad, but the good news is that it ultimately has relatively little HP. Drop everything on him and normally you should be able to defeat him and I promise this time, you are done with the fight against Ketheric Thorme!
The technique to avoid part of the fight against Ketheric Thorme
Before leaving, know that it is possible to avoid part of the second phase, the one before the transformation into Myrkul's avatar. For this, while you are assaulting the towers of Hautelune (having saved Chantenuit), meet in the chambers of Ketheric Thormeunlock the chest at the foot of his bed and read the letter from his wife.
Once at the top of the Hautelune towers, before the fight, first choose the persuasion option in the dialogue which tells him that Melodia would not have wanted that. Then tell him that Melodia is waiting for him and that he must return to Sélune. Finally, choose the option that says it's not too late, that his story doesn't end there.
Chantenuit arrives and wants to kill him, tell him he has surrendered. Despite everything, the fight begins normally. Then go to the start of the second phase. There, choose the option that asks Ketheric what our place is in all of this.
Finally, choose the persuasion option by telling him that you were willing to show mercy and that it is not too late to repent. It won't save you all the struggle, but at least the part before he transforms into Myrkul's avatar.
