The boss himself is not difficult, he is not immune to the “Song of Compulsory Cavorting”, so he can be killed with any pack where there is at least one bard, it is advisable to have a levitation character in the group to drag the boss to the song, otherwise, you will have to wait until he approaches and kill the original before he turns into a magician/warrior.
But the problem can arise with 4 enemies in front of him, two of them are magicians - who will attack you with magic with a 100% chance of stunning. And their attack is always the first. Therefore, I recommend collecting a group of 3 gnomes for the passage with 3 characters: a bard, a magician and a warrior. They cannot be stunned and therefore there will be no problems with stunning. You can take a warrior of another class, the main thing is to grab a weapon from Hernhold with immunity to stun. Otherwise there should be no problems, survive the first attack of the enemies and begin to beat them. I recommend not killing them right away, in the first turn, but killing everyone except the warrior. Then put the magician on meditation, and in the next turn kill the remaining enemy. The battle with the final boss will begin, use levitation to drag the boss under the bard, and imprison him in the “Song of Involuntary Pirouettes”. Then start attacking him, if you have a group of level 25+, then you will kill him in one, maximum two moves.
