First, however, let’s do a rundown of the story line, just to put our topic into perspective.

The Storyline

You are in the world of Rivellon, and centuries have passed since your first adventure (Divinity: Original Sin). The beings residing here get their energy from the ‘Source’, and users of such are referred to as Sourcerers. This energy is used by them to work magic or perfect their fighting skills. The character Lucian, also called ‘The Divine’, has been given a share of power from the Source, a gift from the seven gods of Rivellon; his powers are utilized for the purpose of holding back the Void. Now, according to the story, Lucian actually dies before the game even begins. And his death made the veil that hung between Rivellon and the Void weaken. Guided by the dark God King, hideous, murderous monsters begin to trickle into Rivellon from the Void, and the invasion of Rivellon has begun. The monsters, called the Voidwoken, are attracted to the use of the Source, which spawns the invasion and results in an organization called the Divine Order persecuting Sourcerers as if they were at fault for the attack.

Enter you, the player. As a Sourcerer you have been taken captive by the Divine Order for the reason explained above. While you are is being transported to Mount Joy, a prison on an island, the ship you are on is attacked by a Voidwoken…namely a Kraken. The monster manages to sink the ship, but you survive, having been called by a voice that referred to you as the ‘Godwoken’. Full play is now underway, and you encounter not only the monsters of the Void, but bosses as well. As with most RPG games, some will be easier than others, and there are many to defeat if conquering the game is your goal. For instance, you’ll come across the Dream Portal Arena, one of the toughest in the game. You’ll also find yourself up against ‘The Doctor’ in Act IV, another enemy right up there on the list when it comes to difficulty level. But according to Game Rant (https://gamerant.com/divinity-original-sin-2-bosses-enemies-hardest/), The most difficult enemy boss to defeat is a witch named Alice Alisceon.

  • If your team is situated close together you can count on Alice starting things off with a fireball attack, so keep things a bit distanced (but not too far)
  • There will be a ‘Persuasion Check’, but no matter what particular line of dialog you opt for, she is going to fight you…don’t waste your time tinkering with this due to false hope
  • Restoration spells and the effects of them are her weak spot because Alice in one of the Undead, technically speaking
  • When she dies, she is going to drop the Witch’s Cellar Key, which is needed for the quest entitled ‘Treated Like Cattle. Since defeating Alice is so difficult it’s good to know that the lock opened by this key can be picked using Thievery 4)
  • Your ability to ‘Bless’ should be used on Alice to remove the ‘Aura of Pain’ buff she doles out, which just happens to be one of the worst of the buffs used
  • If you do manage to defeat her you will gain 36,100 EXP D.E. from her, which is insane cool
  • Now, to finally defeat Alice Alisceon, here are a handful of recommended strategies that have been tried and proven:
  • Use teleport to get her away from the totems; follow this up with polymorphing her into a chicken
  • Use healing items and your Soul Mate ability to kill her
  • Use a ‘Living on the Edge’ spell; a warrior character or necromancer character works best with this spell
  • Use your Bless ability; Alice’s ‘Aura of Pain’ buff is rendered powerless by this

Lure Alice to Jahan and he will kill her. You must have a team member that is able to attack her from a certain range, namely while waiting near Jahan (east). At the same time another character, who will be at the fiery cliff, will teleport her to the beach located below. Note that Alice will try to head around in the direction of Jahan so she can get back to her cliff, but an AP limit will put a stop to this. Now, attack her with your character and lure her in the direction of Jahan, and Jahan will come help fight. Alice will be obliterated in only a few turns. This is considered the easiest way to finally get rid of the witch.

Now you are ready. You have the knowledge and know what you need to do to get the job done. Go forth and conquer…the victory is yours. You are finally ready to defeat the Level 15 boss Alice Alisceon from Divinity: Original Sin 2…Have fun, and overcome!
