So I'm trying to do the two trophys/achievements for defeating the bosses on hard/nightmare.

Having read a few strategies and because its my current character - I'm going with a mage. I'm using a set strategy someone posted on another board, but I'm hoping that with the right equipment and a re-specing tome will allow to try other strategies if one doesn't work.

But before I finish Origins to lead into awakening, I have a question on poultices - what should I bring?

I've just made myself around 400 potent health's and about 380 potent lyriums. Should I make more or will this suffice?

Also should I prepare ingredients for the 'master' poultices in Awakening?

I'm hoping to have done a file at the end of origins that I can go back to if I need different stuff.

Also any links/tips/anything on how to beat these bosses would be gratefully recieved - any new knowledge only helps!

Thanks

You should definitely get the master health pot and master lyrium pots in awakening. The amount of health and mana you have in Origins can't compare to how much mana you will have/spend in Awakening. Having better potions is a must. 

Tbh, the harvester isn't that hard on any difficulty if you're a mage. Arcane Warrior Spirit Healer > Any Harvester Shenanigans.

Yeah you should be fine.

Strip Nathanial at the end of awakening, respect Jerrik Dace to be an archer, give him Nathaniel's equip.

Strip Your tank at the end of Awakening, give Brogan his equipment.

Also make sure you make the best runes you can and slot them into your equipment.

Again, it's not that hard. I believe you can do it.

400 pots for both health and mana is plenty. Awakenings is really quite easy so you really shouldn't be using many through that. In fact you'll probably end with even more.

Jerrik with Accuracy, Spirit Warrior, a sky-high dexterity and good archer gear will turn him into a machine gun.

Keep a support character (and someone to guard them) back by the switch so you can use it whenever you can (note the skeletons die when you flick it, so timing is the name of the game here).

It helps for whoever is meleeing the Harvester to stay nimble. You can skip behind him to dodge most (but not all) of his attacks.

Take healing magic. Spirit Healer advised, since the Golem is sorely underwhelming in this (and pretty much every) regard.

Good luck. Don't get daunted. It's tough, but do-able.

@Dmaster92 - Maker's breath, that is an insane number of pots. All you need for grim reaper is 2-3 superb stamina, lyrium and/or health pots for sustainables. And these you'll loot in awakening anyway. I'd say sell all those potions for money. But if you like using pots by all means use them. Seriously if you really have to use 400 odd pots, things must go really out of hand.
