ok this is what i got from teh guide, i followed it and i beat all three in minutes. it's long but if u follow it, you will beat them the first try. my party was me, (6 ranger 10 arcane archer) qara, zhjeave, ammon, and elanee.
Now, if you run ahead and attempt to assault the Reavers head on, you’ll be a fish in a barrel; the narrow pathway will allow the strong Reaver in the middle wail away on you, while another Reaver will warp behind you, and the third Reaver will launch spells at you from across the water, where you can’t reach him. It’s probably possible to win this fight, but if you have to read the True Names of each of the Reavers in turn, it’ll definitely be difficult.
With a little preparation, though, you can make things a lot easier on yourself. We’re going to assume that you have a character in your party, alongside Zhjaeve, that can cast high-level Summon Creature spells, either VIII or IX. You’re going to need a little help to get through this fight in one piece.
The idea here is to have your entire party Stand Their Ground at the eastern end of the room, well away from the top of the stairs, where the Reaver will warp to. This is kind of complicated, so pay attention:
One spellcaster, Caster A, should cast a Summon Creature spell while standing against the wall. The elemental that pops out is Elemental A.
Caster B should stand near the top of the stairs, along with a character that’s been Hasted.
The Hasted character runs down the stairs to trigger the cutscene where the Reaver talks to you. In what might’ve been an oversight, your entire party isn’t warped to where this character is (normally they would be).
After the cutscene is over, the middle Reaver will begin running towards you, while the northern Reaver will teleport to the top of the stairs, near Caster B. Have your Hasted character run back up the stairs, past the Reaver that just warped in.
As the Hasted character runs up the stairs, have Caster B cast Summon Creature on the stairs. If you time this correctly (pausing the game will help), you’ll be able to cast Summon Creature on the steps and have your Hasted character run past the summoning circle before Elemental B appears.
...if done properly, Elemental B will cut off a single Reaver for you to focus on and defeat.
If everything goes according to plan, Elemental B will take up the entire width of the stairs, preventing the middle Reaver from following your Hasted character up the stairs. Elemental A will begin attacking the Reaver that teleported all on its own, while the other Reaver near the water will likely not move, since your characters moved far enough away to avoid triggering its AI. At worst, it’ll cast spells at your Elemental B.
At this point, unload on the teleported Reaver. Have Ammon start the True Name ritual, aimed at that Reaver (you may want to turn on Puppet Mode here to prevent him from breaking away from the ritual). It will, as per usual, take a while to complete, but when it does, the Reaver will die, probably before the middle Reaver has had a chance to kill off Elemental B. If Elemental B is still alive, it’ll provide a perfect buffer for Ammon while he recites the True Name ritual. When the second ritual is done, the Elemental will wear the Reaver down, allowing you to finish it off. At this point, the third Reaver is likely still standing off in one corner of the room, oblivious to the action. Send an Elemental at it and True Name it to finish it off.
