If you are expecting to keep adventuring after defeating the Hag, or are encountering the Hag in the Endless Harvest, a more conservative approach may be prudent - in this case, attacks that hit both the cauldron and the Hag would be ideal. However, it may be wise to tip over the Cauldron prematurely if the Hag placed your main damage dealer inside - in that case, free them and hope the Hag takes someone else the next time she uses 'Into the Pot!'. Generally speaking, it's best to ignore the pot and focus all your attacks on the Hag. Prior to the Shieldbreaker patch, it was possible to destroy the Cauldron, removing it from battle with no ill effects. When the Hag dies, the Cauldron will also be destroyed, and anyone still inside will be automatically released.įleeing from the fight while a Hero is inside the Cauldron will result in the death of the Hero. The Cauldron will tip over and release the Hero into the front rank of your party either when it is reduced to 0 HP, or if the Hero inside falls to 0 HP and enters Death's Door. When a Hero is inside the Cauldron, it becomes vulnerable to attacks, during which the Hero will also suffer damage equal to 8.75% of his/her max HP after any action on any turn is performed. This lasts until the Hag uses her 'Into The Pot!' ability, which puts the targeted Hero into the Cauldron.

With 100% PROT and high health, the Cauldron is also completely invincible - successfully landed hits will trigger an IMMUNE! and deal no damage, and trigger no effects.

before i posted this i fought the hag without knowing about the cauldron and got destroyed.The Cauldron will always spawn occupying the first 2 ranks during the boss fight, while the Hag lurks behind it on the 3rd and 4th Rank. Doing one before the other won't make you any more prepared for your first time fighting a new boss.

My thought process is if you're going to party wipe because you didn't know what to expect, you should get it over with ASAP so you don't become too attached to the characters you lose. Without spoiling anything both the Hag and the Swine require either a well formed party or an understanding of a specific game mechanic while the Necromancer fight is fairly staight forward and the mechanic becomes obvious before it can screw you over. After the Ancestor's death, the Necromancer and his Apprentices took over the Ruins, using their magic to bring the corpses buried there back to. He is one of the reanimated scholars that collaborated with the Ancestor, murdered and then brought back with much of his intellect intact, but with little to no humanity remaining. Originally posted by Baywatch:Honestly, despite the Apprentice Necromancer being debatably easier, I would suggest the Hag and Swine Prince first. The Necromancer is an Unholy/Eldritch boss that appears in the Ruins.
