Historian | Divinity Original Sin 2 Wiki

Is there any hint in the game on how to douse the flames from the historian or is it just a lucky guess?

Dealing with the skeletons, the Ranger and the Warrior can jump. The Mage cannot.
Do NOT unlock the gates.
Enter sneak, jump one companion just inside the area and wait for the jump cooldown.
Exit sneak and move forward to aggro.
Teleport either the Ranger or the Warrior outside the room. Use the others to get a free shot on him from sneak.
Jump the initial companion outside and finish the first skeleton off, if needed.

The Warrior will jump outside and attack. Kill him. Then, enter and kill the Mage.

Blood the Historian however you want. Do NOT bless him!

The portal will open to access the chamber but not the one inside to the upper level. Jump, loot and take the portal to return outside.

Do NOT bless the Historian. Kill him FTW, XP and the loot.

A tip for anyone who might have trouble finding a source of blood (i.e. a Lone Wolf Party consisting of Fane and another Undead): utilising an elf's Flesh Sacrifice will create a nice little pool of it, which can be achieved by using Fane's Mask of the Shapeshifter.

Why do you even need blood rain if you can just bless the hellfire pigs and did anyone even figure it out without a wiki?

Submit

Create a blood surface then bless it. Worked like a charm for me.

You need to complete the puzzle so that you can get a "crumbling skull" to open another door.

Submit

When you remove the fire from him a portal opens to the Realm of Orobas. If you save him there's a portal inside Orobas that leads to a chest. The wiki saying there's no reward for saving him is wrong.

I doused him, blessed him, talked to him and he said he ain't given me s###t, and I got no XP for it. So that was pointless

Submit

I struggled a lot with him dying immediately once teleported into blood.. so I tried using human blood. That stopped him dying immediately

Submit

1. Blood Rain
2. Telekinese green poison plant next to him (he is undead and heals in poison, enough time now)
3. Bless

Submit

How the hell were we supposed to know that to put out hellfire you need to bless blood ??????

Submit

Easy way to cure historian with only teleportation: Give teleportation gloves to your Archer, teleport your other character on top of Historian, shoot your character with your Archer until they bleed, and cast bless

Submit

When I teleported him into a pool of blood he instantly died. There was Zero time to cast bless on him. Any thoughts?

Submit

Teleport Sebille and have her use Flesh Sacrifice near the burning historian. Quickly cast BLESS on the historian. After that he starts talking

Submit

This is how i did it: 1) teleport one of the skeletons that you've just killed next ot the Historian 2) cast Raise Bloated Corpse on the teleported corpse 3) use the Bloated Corpse's Vile Burst which creates blood everywhere 4) Bless the blood pros over Raining Blood: only requires 1 point in Necromancer

Submit

What if neither blood rain nor flesh sacrifice are working? It seems he doesn't recognize that he's sitting in a pool of blood :/

Submit

There was a huge amount of blood in the same room that I found him, so I teleported him into that and then blessed him.

Submit

I teleported him out to the blood puddle in the first room inside the labyrinth, then used Bless on him.

Submit

I stabbed my companion a few times and then teleported him into the blood. done! :D

Submit

Douse the flames with blood and then bash his head in, you get both the portal and 425 xp. The second portal inside the room won't open unless you bless him but you can use a teleport spell to bypass the need for it.

Submit

Is there any way to get him to reveal his "secrets"?

Submit

It also works if you bless the blood instead of him.

Submit

You can keep it alive it you use venon... i need to do that in order to get more sorce point to use bless, good that swamps was close

Submit

I used *Raining Blood (Hydro+Necro)*, but instead of blessing it, I... Used *Turn to Oil (Geo+Poly)*

The blood-turned-oil blew up the area...

And then the Historian proceeded to thank me for helping him... While still aflame...

Anyways... As a side note, you can kill him for 425 Exp, but you won't get the Portal for Historian room.

Submit

There is a puddle of blood on the ground, drop him in it with teleport and then bless him when he stops burning.

Submit

A way without an elf and blood rain that worked for me. Attack one of your party members until there is blood on the ground, teleport the Historian on the blood, bless it, throw a poison bomb ect. on him so he doesn't die.

Submit

Teleport a rogue next to him. use flesh sacrifice on him. then bless

Submit

this worked for me:
1) rain water
2) bless
3)rain of blood (can be any blood)

Submit

You must extinguish his cursed flames with blood, in any way you can, rain of blood is not mandatory. After that you can definitely remove his curse with the bless spell.

Submit

Doesn't seem to do anything when doused him :(
