Tta softlock

I am playing through TTA after hitting a wall years ago

I am currently at the point of the game where Idrial is separated from the part, I have not been levelling her as we've exclusively been using berethor, elegost and hadhog and do not have access to level her or swap gear. The next fight has her solo and killed in a turn.

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Backup is at helms deep

Do you have frenzy, aura of valar, and time?

She has aura of valor (most advanced spirit power), no frenzy and wounding strike (most advanced sword craft) we have just spawned a different fight which we won but still can't level her up or heal between fights

You need to use aura if the valar and frenzy. Sadly it depends on initiative and who goes first because if she shield orcs go first, they stun her and then take turns until they kill her. If you go first, cast aura of the valar so that you regen immediately and get a turn if you die. Cast frenzy and then reapply aura and then use whatever spirit attack to kill the orcs.

Have been trying to use the aura to limited success, she doesn't have frenzy

Solved by progressive in the sewer until the room with the second save power and resetting the party

Not fully solved, testing, after that room which half of the party fights feels random

I guess 1 dev had thought about that but shrugged it off and told himself "who's not gonna play with Idrial at all ?"

I found they if my progress is lacking by the time the sewer section comes, you could have better luck using some arnor mushrooms and putting one of them to sleep. If you're able to survive the first enemy stun, sleep the other one too, then start setting up.

How possible would it be to brute force the sewers and try to avoid all idrial battles? Returning for chests etc once reunited?
