[[Haste]] yourself, throw a [[net]], step 1 tile back, and start firing. This also has the benefit of preventing silence.

-*A source of [[torment]] resistance and maxed out [[negative energy]] resistance will greatly reduce her own damage output, as well as that of the [[Tzitzimimeh]] she'll be accompanied by. On top of that, you'll want ''very'' high [[willpower]] to avoid paralysis - Tartarus’s Will-sapping atmosphere makes even the most strong-willed characters vulnerable. [[Cold]] resistance is also helpful, in case her Tzitzimimeh start resorting to [[Bolt of Cold]].

 **[[Maxwell's Capacitive Coupling]] is an interesting alternative for taking down Ereshkigal. If you can complete the channeling, she will be instantly defeated, but look out for her [[Silence]], which can dissipate your charge as you are accumulating it.
 *Try to buff yourself up before getting caught in her silence [[aura]], and remember that [[potion]]s, [[wand]]s, and other [[evocable items]] still function even then.
