Strategy for Lactri?

[perechon]

Hi!

I´m playing LoH for some time now (and like it very much).
But one point fairly at the end of the Single-Player-Story (hard mode) is somewhat frustrating: I don´t have a stand against Lactri!
I´m using a female archer (Ranged Level 40), certainly T´Vril (Combat level 43, mostly using Leech life, battle healing and fireball) and her minion.
Once, there was a statement: When I´m able to make it to this point, then I´m also able to defeat Lactri. Am I the one and only exeption?
When I am in range for my bow/spell, then Lactri can also get me with her chain lightning. When my three characters don´t stand wide spread, all three are screwed with one blast (Health Mara 678, T´Vril 547, Minion 968). The only place relatively safe seems to be directly under Lactris body, but she´s moving so fast, my heroes are not able simultaneously to attack and stay under her, and so they are easy prey again!
Is there some strategy, which I am only to dumb to see?
Thanks for every suggestion.....

I haven't played LoH for a while, but IIRC she's inhibited from her main attack if she's being damaged by a long-duration spell like Acid Gas, or Cyclone of Fire, where the damage is continuous, instead of instantaneous like an arrow or sword hit.

You should be able to send the skelly in first and then follow up with T'Vril using a magic attack as above before she can "reload". Your main character just adds injury to insult, and helps her die faster.

Or just wander around near her and admire the Illuminati.

tornado/cyclone/pillar of fire. Those are wonderful spells that can take out just about ANYTHING.

Thanks to both of you.
So I really have to go back to one of these stores...

Oh, if you don't have those spells, you certainly do! You will CERTAINLY want those spells for the adventures that come AFTER Lactri.

Getting through LOH without using a lot of high powered spells is a serious challenge. I'd go load up on spells.

This is for T'Vril (note that Acid Gas, as suggested by Ghastley, works too, as its continuous damages negates her regeneration).
But for your ranged character, no need of silly inkie magic, goblin's dragon minigun all the way!!!

I used Leech Life. It ripped Lactri to pieces.

In single player, you can give your minion (s) a summon powder keg spell and go on a suicide bombing. If it doesn't kill her, it'll wound her seriously and you can go in for the kill
