Temple of the World’s Serpent

Here is the last fight of the game, and it is indeed a tough one. At the insistence of Zehir, his followers are going to attack you. Come prepared to the max for this. The followers include several Yuan-ti, as well as Heirophant Nn’Safa, who is a powerful cleric. Also in the company is a massive snake-like creature called the Herald of Zehir. First things first, take out as many of the rank and file Yuan-ti as you can with Wail of the Banshee. If you’re lucky, it will take out the Heirophant as well. If not, go for him next to minimize his spellcasting. Now the sticky part in this whole battle is the Herald, who scores massive damage that bypasses damage reduction, and is himself largely immune to all kinds of damage. But here is a bit of a dirty secret. One thing he is not immune to is level draining. So before engaging in this fight, I would highly encourage you to have multiple instances of Energy Drain ready for this fight. Hit him enough times and you’ll severely reduce his fighting ability, or even kill him outright. If you have a character like a Favored Soul or a Sorcerer, even better. The Herald leaves behind the Fang of Zehir.
