| Description | |
| Kessell did not have the Shard to help him dominate creatures, but the power the cultists had given him was still dangerous. Though few had answered Kessell's call, in time, they would grow and be a threat to the entire Dale. Now was the time to deal with Kessell once and for all. | |

While Akar Kessell is touted in the story as a strong oppponent, he sure doesn't seem like it. He is a classic mage and will deal you massive magic spells ranging from lightning bolts to poison clouds. Dodge them and attack him.
The thing about him is he revives 5 times before he ultimately falls permanently. His attack will vary a little, so just keep up the offense and heal up when necessary.
