Hey Gamers
In this video we take out Dror Ragzlin the main Hobogoblin boss of the Goblin camp.
While trying to figure out the best way to do this fight I realised why there are so many smoke powder barrels all over this zone.
Smoke powder barrels + Fireball spell = an explosively good time!
As we first approach Ragzlin he is trying to perform some necromantic dark arts on the corpse of the mind flayer that kidnapped us at the start of the game...
His goal here is to find out who killed the mind flayer.Who better to identify the killer than the corpse itself...
If we let the mindflayer identify us as its killer we cant do the smoke barrel plan so we gotta choose dialogue options that lead to us controlling Ragzlins mind.This requires a wisdom check of 9+
We can let Ragzlin ask the corpse the first question but after that we gotta mind hack him...
Eventually Ragzlin gets the incantations right and the corpses raises up,now the interrogation can begin...
Rolling a 16 we successful hack Ragzlins mind and can continue the questioning without the mind flayer identifying us as its killer...
The necromantic energies flowing through the mind flayer corpse fade and the corpse falls back to the ground.We remain unidentified and Ragzlin heads back to his throne...
Now the fun can begin:)....first lets place 2 smoke powder barrels ,one at each side of Ragzlins throne...
Now let's move back to a safe distance and have our wizard Gale hit one of the barrels with a fireball...
This worked so well it not only killed Ragzlin instantly it also blew up his throne and destroyed alot of the environment around him!
With Ragzlin dead we just have a few guards and goblins to take out.The fight is now much easier than it would be if Ragzlin was also part of the melee...
It's worth noting that we can knock enemies into the spider pits using spells like thunderweave and eldritch blast or by simply pushing them of if they are close to the edge.If we do this the spiders will take care of anyone that falls into the pits just be careful to position your characters so they are not prone to being knocked in themselves.
When the fight is over and we have nothing but bodys and goblin guts painting the floor and walls we can now loot our first rare blue item from Ragzlins corpse,The Faithbreaker mace which can be used 1 handed or 2 handed.
We also get a key from Ragzlins corpse which leads to the Goblin treasure room where we can find a nice necklace...
With Ragzlin the main boss of the Goblin camp dead we are now kill on sight to every npc in the zone.We no longer have any dialogue options with the Drow Minthara who is the last goblin leader we need to take out.
The main lesson here is pick up and collect all the explosive items you find on your adventure.They can be placed or thrown and watching them tear the zone apart when you ignite them is incredibly satisfying :)
