Ketheric Thorm is the final boss of Act 2. He can be found at the top of Moonrise Tower. Before heading towards Ketheric Towers, you must complete the preceding quests.
These quests include going to the Gauntlet of Shar, collecting all the Umbral Gems, and finally saving Nightsong from dying. She will either be killed by Shadowheart or killed by Balthazar.
You must save Nightsong because she will help you in the battle against Ketheric Thorm in BG3. She is also why Ketheric becomes vulnerable to attacks instead of being immune to all attacks.
When you reach the door of the moonrise tower gate, you will come across Jaheira. You will need to ask her to join your team. She will tell you that she is committed to her people. If you insist, she will agree to fight alongside you.
Now, go through the door, and you will reach the top of the Moonrise Tower in Baldur’s Gate 3. He will be standing on a platform where the dialogue sequence will start.Ketheric Thorm Dialogue options
When you approach Ketheric Thorm, there will be a few dialogue options. The first three will trigger him to get angry. At this, Nightsong will swoop in from above and throw him down. She is angry at what Ketheric Thorm in BG3 has done to her and Isobel and wants to take his life. This will then start the battle against him.
You can also roll a persuasion or intimidation check and ask him to surrender. This will make him ponder, but Nightsong will come from above, and the fighting will continue. This will prove valuable later on in the fight.How to defeat Ketheric Thorm in Baldur’s Gate 3
The fight with Ketheric has three phases, depending on your dialogue choice. The first phase will occur on the rooftop. The next two phases will be in the Mind Flayer colony.
After you have ended the dialogue with Ketheric Thorm, the fight will start. If you have Nightsong with you, she will significantly damage him. The arena will consist of 4 Necromites on the left and four necromites on the right.
There will also be a mage called Susdera. She will be very annoying and needs to be dealt with first. Finally, there will be an undead dog called Squire in Baldur’s Gate 3, which is relatively slow and not a big problem. Phase 1
Firstly, deal with the Necromites on the left and right.
