How to unlock the First Blood achievement in Baldur's Gate 3 - Definitive Guide

While the solution to this is really simple, the method is quite difficult. I happened to get this achievement on my first playthrough against her (As I didn't know you could get rid of the cultists.)

Regardless, this is how the fight can be done, every turn Orin receives 7 stacks of unstoppable from the ritual chant. This can be quite annoying as any damage you try to do just get mitigated to 1 until you've gotten rid of her unstoppable stacks. Even then, she regains it all next turn.

So what can you do? Well, Orin's unstoppable mitigates all damage to 1. But, it does not prevent her from receiving status effects. Effects like bleed and poison are great at chipping away at unstoppable and eventually allow your party to pummel her regardless whether she receives those stacks. In addition, some attacks such as magical missile are EVEN better at clearing her unstoppable stacks as it's multiple firings in one.

Either way, Orin's fight with all her cultists chanting and granting her unstoppable can be annoying. But using status effects like bleed, poison and attacks like magic missile can very much so help. Keep your party healed and buffed and you should be able to bring her down and earn that achievement!

Good luck hunting gamers!

Orin is an easy boss who attacks little and in general the pumped up squad receives very little damage in this battle, but there is a problem: at the beginning of each round Orin is given 10 stacks of invulnerability. Those in each round, the first 10 hits on it will deal an average of 1 damage.
Therefore, the best assistant in this battle is scrolls, castes and classes that deal many blows per turn.
For example, a warrior (Laezel by default) deals up to 6 hits per turn through the “impulse to action” and the trait for two-handed weapons.
Also a magic arrow, otherworldly bolt, multi-target arrow, etc. and so on.
With all this we remove invulnerability and then add damage, 2-3 moves should be enough.

In addition to the tip. If during the battle you do not have enough actions to easily kill Orin in 1-2 rounds, then you can use speed potions or acceleration spells. Scrolls with the acceleration spell can be purchased at the Mages Guild near the “Central Wall of the Lower Gord” waypoint (the building has a blue roof in the screenshot).
Additionally, at the Mages Guild you can buy scrolls of the “Chain of Lightning” spell, which will help kill sectarians who perform the ritual and are protected by the shelter spell
