The Energetic Old Woman is a powerful boss, and it will take some careful planning and team composition considering if you want to take her down. Let's take a look at where to find this boss, some suggestions for your party, and a basic strategy for beating her.
The Energetic Old Woman can be found in Rippletide, in the building to the right of the Smithy. Unlike other Battle Tested NPCs, you will need to be Rank 22 in Power to interact with her.
The Energetic Old Woman is weak to bow and fire attacks. She will use multi-hit and front row attacks, which can apply a lot of damage to your party if you're not careful. Later in the fight, she will cast Celerity, allowing her to act twice in a row on her next turn. This buff can be devastating, but it can be avoided by breaking the boss before she has a chance to act.
For this fight, we recommend bringing at least four hunters, preferably ones with multi-hit bow attacks like Scarcrow, Lucetta, and Bertrand. If you're lacking multi-hit bow attacks, bring universal shield-breaking thieves like Wingate, Cless, or Heathcote, who can consistently break the boss's shield.
Units that can target the boss's weakness to fire will also be especially useful in this fight. Lynette, who can also buff your party's damage, and Viola, who can debuff the boss, are two notable examples. Peredir is also a good choice.
