At the end of the fight she was unconscious, but everyone thought she was dead. I could talk with her and she behaved as if Shadowheart wasn't in my party even if Shadowheart was talking to her.

you cant betray dark shadowheart to viconia, the fight with devir is unavoidable with dialogs check for amount of enemy crowd
Technically, fighting Viconia and a full house of enemies (save Shadowheart's best friend) is not really hard - at least on Tactician mode. No need to turn to cheese and more cheese. Here are the reasons:
1) Other than Vic being level 11, all other potential enemies are capped at level 7: they have relatively low defenses and none has access to damage-based arcane spells. They are not even equipped with magical weapons. As a result, even a full-scale battle against the entire house should be manageable to most player parties of level 9+.
2) Shadowheart, if NOT respeced, is capable of trivializing the battle, as this is the climax of her personal quest after all. Being a Trickery Cleric, Shadowheart can summon an army to protect her and fight for her and is the only type of Cleric capable of disarming & disabling an entire army of enemies. This battle feels like tailor made for her to show off her powerful Trickery abilities in overwhelming a large army of enemies.
3) In combat, the only unique challenge of this battle is the hefty punishment for any party member who dares to use Radiant damage. This is very obvious to every player who has "examined" those NPCs. And handling it is very easy. However, if a player has overlooked or chosen to defy this warning, then the more Radiant damage they dish, the faster they kill themselves. It is possible for a powerful party to instantly kill all their own party members this way.
4) My first playthrough (Tactician mode): We fought Vic and slaughtered her entire house and Shadowheart remained in full health during the entire battle. No healing, no potions, no Haste spell, no throwables, no consumables were used/needed.
4.1 Some details pre-battle: We had just fought Antie Ethel in a hardest possible way (no pre-talk kills or tricks on our part) and were running very low on spell slots. Upon entering the House of Grief, we noticed that it would be too dangerous for Shadowheart to rely on her Radiant damage here. Nevertheless, we wanted to rely on Shadowheart for bringing her own quest to an end. To preserve our remaining spell slots, we decided to create an army of summons (2 spell slots => 6 skeletons + "Us") to protect Shadowheart in case a battle broke out. We then took a short rest to restore the little health we lost in fighting the hag.
4.2 Actual battle: Shadowheart (level 11 Trickery Cleric), accompanied by my main character (Dark Urge, multiclass Sorceress), walked downstairs to talk to Vic. After the talk, Vic and her entire house turned hostile. During the first round, Shadowheart was the first to act and disarmed 3 melee enemies of level 7. After that, Durge and Karlach killed 3 others. Jaheira then disarmed 2 more and her Dryad laid down a Spike field between Vic and the Durge party. The skeleton army of 6 archers formed a circle around Shadowheart. As you can see, by the end of the first round, the battle had already been trivialized. Nobody in the Durge party took much damage, until after the near-death Vic became the only hostile left on the map. Right before defeated, she invoked Divine Intervention, doing 8-80 unresisted damge, killing the wounded "Us" and all but 1 skeleton archers. Nevertheless, the skeleton army successfully prevented Shadowheart from losing a single HP. Due to lack of spell slots, Shadowheart didn't try to disarm/disable more enemies. BTW, her Firebolt could deal up to 48 fire damage here - no idea how or why. Her firebolt had a good accuracy here as well - no need for her to deal Radiant damage.

Easy fight, during dialog with shadowheart in the down hall, press to change other member party and go to kill her. After she die, no fight at the hall but after you come back from loss mirror, all enemy in the hall will attack you. Just open map and go to another check point to avoid fight. Tip for loss mirror, reset class to be monk and click religion +5 and int +17 then up level to 8 to get int +20 use with guidance, you will have safety 9-12 on hand when roll. If have ring +religion will get more chance.

Spent a few hours on Dark Mirror. And, based on the option for gaining Wisdom (Turn to the wisdom of a drow. Once of Lolth, then or Shar (+2 Wisdom)), it feels like a description that can apply to Viconia and may explain why she's still evil: "a lifetime in service of darkness. Yet, most curious - there is light there also. Adventures, long past. Friends and companions, remembered with a secret fondness." It doesn't excuse her abuse of Shadowheart but further cements that Shar is a-

I were so hyped and avoided all spoilers for this game, hoping to see my waifu again after decades. Quite the bitter feeling seeing your best girl get butcher into an one-dimensional side-villian with personaity as deep as a rain puddle.

I killed her before starting dialogue and all the other sharrans sided with Shadowheart and became neutral.

I had one character talk to her and have the rest beat her to death mid-dialogue. Weirdly enough no one's gonna attack you if you do this.

You don't need to kill her for the loot, just select a different character to loot her then let her go.
I just right clicked the downed Vic and looted her. The I let her go.
