The Dead Ferryman | Divinity Original Sin 2 Wiki

Let him ferry you across (with an undead of course) and initiate combat on the island. Wait till he casts his deathfog and use terrain transmutation to "carry" it around with you as you see fit, very useful against the Advocate in honor mode.
You need to start combat before deathfogging NPCs in order to get XP for the kill though

dying to a scripted event even when you planned ahead and used breathing bubble is omega cringe lol

Teleported Sibelle into the nearby death fog, the netherswapped me with her corpse. This guy's beast.

Submit

Pretty sure everyone got ko’d by that breath deathfog move he does

I'm playing on Honour Mode Difficulty :
I meet this dude,
I paid him to take me across the river,
i feel he's dangerous,
i killed him,
i jumped on his boat,
i chose "let it go by itself" .
All the team wiped by death fog, no more save game, rip 130 hours of my first playthrough .

Submit

can someone confirm something?
Does the skill "living on the edge" bug out his a.i so he just ends his turn instead of using death fog to kill you? He just stood there and ended his turn when i pre-applied that skill and then attacked him

Submit

I killed him on "classic" mode with two bone widows (Summoner 0) and incarnate and some elemental totems. My parties was VERY FAR away on a hill. Bone widows are immune to death fog so yeah he didn't have much else after that

Idol of Rebirth can be used to not get a game over if all your party members are alive. However, it's not exactly worth the 1-3 ressurection scrolls you'll need to bring your party make to life, and another one to refill your idol.

Submit

If you wanna fight him, mass breathing bubbles is great (crafted from an aerothurge and a warfare skill, at least one of which is a source skill)

Submit

I killed him by having my archer take a NON fire sniper shot at him to start the fight. 1. I went to the cliff side that was just south of him. Stood there with the whole party. 2. Sniped him. 3. Once that started the fight, he was already weakened and then he still had to run up to the party from the pier. 4. That of course let us pound on him before he could even get in an attack. Kind of easy kill.

Submit

I attacked the ferryman after finding out that he would kill you, and in a single move he breathes deathfog into my entire party, killing everyone except fane

Submit

I Teleported him away from the death fog at the pier. The second teleport made him hostile. Funny enough he tried to teleport and nether swap my party members, but we were already to far away.

Submit

7300 xp for killing her, plus a key to her cave

Submit

You can use his death fog after fight for easy kills using Terrain Transmutation.

Submit

They "fixed" this asshat somehow, now he just spawns the *****ing fog.

Submit

Jokes on him I had the glowing idol of rebirth.

Submit

I took the Chris de Burgh approach, it worked.

Submit

hmmm. i just shot him in the face repeatedly with fane solo....and he allowed it...until he died...again

Submit

It's not a trap if You are already dead.

Take a ferry by undead party member (Fane) alone, and gather team with pyramid.

Submit

Kill him by teleporting him in away from the fog.
Otherwise he may teleport you out away from the land
(this isn't my idea - i got this from Fox Fires on youtube)

Submit

Me and my gamer friends beat the hell out of this idiot after he tried to pull a fast one on us, he's definitely a dead ferryman now

Submit

He takes you to the Island where he tries to rob you and insta kills you if u refuse to empty your pockets

Submit

Do not take the ferry! It's a trap!!!

Also, if you fight him on the docks near Cloisterwood, be prepared for him to teleport your toons into the nearby deathfog. You've been warned.
