Sunrise bug with Ezmerelda

[Bluenoser]

Found an unfortunate new (to me, anyway) bug today in Sunrise EE. I met Ezmerelda and had her come to the end fight. Got a 2 minute lag-lock from the pond (feel free to fix that, someone) and died when Strahd was at ~5% health. I Jibbered, ran back to shrine to rez and heal up, and by the time I got back, Ezmerelda had Strahd down to 0 health. I guess the quest-end trigger is you getting him to 0, since no matter how much I damaged him, quest wouldn't end. Short story: don't take Ezmerelda, just to be on safe side.

Did you drag him into the "blessed pool"?

Ezmeralda is bad yes.

I once had her block Strahd so it was became very difficult to get him into the pond to beat him.

Yes, got him in pond and unleashed an extra 200k hp into him just to make sure. Also waited around for over 5 minutes just to make sure it wasn't lag again. No good.

Is it even possible to not take her? I've tried not speaking to her, which loses the optional xp, but she still shows up to be annoying in the end fight. Only way I've been able to guarantee that she doesn't interfere in the boss fight is to reset if Eva's cards say she's there.
