*SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ACT III

If you’re like me, you may have discovered you can do the lightning puzzle as soon as you get to Wyrm Rock (even if your character has had no indication yet of how to do so). Arriving early can put you in a pretty big level/gear disadvantage against Ansur given his crazy dmg output on Tactician difficulty.

Here’s the kicker: you can leave and come back to continue the fight EXACTLY where you left off!

Grabbing the baldurian helm in the back of the room opens the door and allows your character to leave combat. I stumbled upon this accidentally, as Ansur was down to 200 health and all but Gale (shocking) was dead so I tried to flee. Sure enough, I could leave, res my team, come back, and Ansur was still at 200 health and the elementals were dead still.

Note: idk if the elementals heal upon coming back since I killed them before leaving. I also don’t know if long rest resets Ansur, but it doesn’t seem like he can heal since he’s undead.

Just wanted to share! Enjoy getting a cheeky kill on an annoying boss!
