Ignore the above - I now feel very stupid having done a forum search which i should have done earlier - sorry

I've just finished my exams and started playing through ToB from where I left off ages ago.


Spoiler :











Having gone through Sendai's ecclave without a problem but got stopped in my tracks at the start of Abagizal's lair by Draconis. He can't touch me until he becomes a dragon when he ...

1- from what I recall any summoned creature will do just put it on the alter
2- you'll find out in the drow city - keep hold of it for now
3- yes the section of the level (i think) is based on a quest given to u when u r a drow
4-become a drow and go into the city and see

I agree with everything above - I found wands of fire (not the fireball) of use as well as insect swarms. There are harder battles out there but don't be put off if it takes a couple of tries.

Why not just put the glasses in a chest somewhere with any other items like them - at least until the start of chapter 4? Wouldn't it take up more space to carry round lots of potions?

My current party is almost the same except I have Jan instead of Aerie (he whines less) and my pc is a cleric/ranger since there is little need for either magic or fighters to balance it (once you have Imoen anyway) and the ability to sit back can win many battles that would be difficult otherwise.

I don't know - I've tried pickpocketing everyone upstairs and can't find a key - in the end I just gave up.

That really does rely on your alignment though as I said before.

I don't think it is usual although I've got to admit I never looked that closely. I can think of few reasons why your character would have fewer hitpoints - did everything else (stats etc) stay the same? It would be interesting if you tried re importing and seeing if they still had less hitpoints.

Why do u want a second ring? I know they are useful but I always found other rings almost if not equally as useful for a mage. I have an english version (the 6 cd set) and it has always been there in mine.

I got a great place where me and my bro went numerous times and lvlled our ppl LOADS:
Ankheg cave! they spawn almost every time you try to rest and if you put the difficulty on core rules (that is, if you were on easy) you get about 1000 each time! it is really great ...

Ok you might be on that (aint used it in so long) but it still makes the underdark far to easy.

Only your main character gets continued - for ther other NPCs just play on, no your cursor shouldn't be an hourglass and if it bothers you that much I would reinstall.

Although I can see the need for sword + sheild style (thinking of Jaheira) two weapon style is so much more fun!

How about the magical reflection cloak that reflect all magicial damage back to its source? I kicked some serious butt with this item :D

Oh but that takes all the fun out of it, whats the point in fighting beholders if the odd party member doesn't get turned to ...

The Jaheira romance takes a while and if you are already a fair way into the game it may well be best to go with aerie (although she really gets on my nerves.)

Ok as I said it's all second hand information

yeah the nymphs mass heal is great for healing your party, I never leave this plane without one!

There are items which need you to have your cursor to be on the exact point. Walkthroughs which mention these say they are not present if you have patches installed. But you're right I didn't read what you wrote carefully enough (sorry) and thought you were refering to ...

How could anyone complete BG buy the expansion and then not play it? (by the way I don't think the combined set is fully patched since the hidden items are still present.)
