Big Red.

The fallen one · Post by **The fallen one** » Tue Oct 09, 2001 1:21 pm

I am playing through for the second time. And in my party is just me and edwin. I would like to kill big red and get the dragon scale for the barbarian since that is one of the only good armor items he can wear. So I was using the cloud kill method just off the screen(yes this is cheesy). Well every time he gets down to near death he casts heal and I need to start all over again. So I was woundering do I need to go in and try to hack him down or does he run out of spells. He seems to have alot of them.
Any insight to this????

If you high enough lvl contingence 3 lower resistences then mid battle(after relicing them) make one with Greater malisonX2 and then ray of emfebble ment also have a triger of contagion to use afet it is reliced(the 2nd one)

Actually I am not high enough level for all that stuff. But I can still cast those spells just not in a chain contingency. But I would like to get him now for the dragon scales. But he keeps on healing him self when off the screen. Any one else see this problem with the cloud kill method.

for the cloudkill method to work you need to cast multiple cloudkills. that way he dies before he gets a chance to heal himself.

get one of the wands of cloudkill and make about 6 clouds

when he starts healing himself try khelbens warding whip by edwin. it wont keep him from attacking but he will be unable to cast spells other than trying to re raise spell protections...

The best (or most cheese worthy) way to kill dragons is to cast the level 5 mage spell feeblemind. Just save before casting (while the dragon isn't hostile) and keep trying until one effects gets through. Then proceed to whack the snot out of your drooling dragon. They don't do anything back, they just sit there.

Thanks for all the info on the cheese way. He will fall yet.

He casts unlimited Heals? How cheesy of him!

Did you install the Baldurdash patches? Those include a slightly cheesed-up version of Dragon "AI", in which they heal and sometimes cast Zone of Sweet Air.

I always wondered what a Dragon was doing with divine spells... Does he pray for them in the morning?

I was actually hoping that they improved the dragon A.I. so that he would act like most of the other creatures, when they are hit (by something) they run in the direction it came from and don't just stand still and go...av....av....uhh....av.....arg....av....arrrrr.

I think you may find that your barbarian can't wear the red dragon scale.
But there is another red armour that is even better!

I have tried the feeble mind trick, yet he still attacked me!!!

How do you know the feeble mind took effect???

cause I got the whirly thingie showing the spell took hold, yet when I attacked, I got dialog and he got pissed....

I don't have any of the dragon AI improvements in my game. Could this be the reason why it didn't work for you? I do have TOB and all the latest patches, if it's not the AI improvement I don't know why it wouldn't work.
