impossible dragon in chapter 3

servetus · Post by **servetus** » Mon Dec 22, 2003 3:19 am

So I'm at a complete loss here. There's a dragon in the snow globe in chapter 3 and I'm starting to think it's invincible. I've spent half my $ on potions, various weapons and yet every time I fail to hit him and within a minute or so I'm dead. I'm a 13th level paladin but so far I haven't found any strategies for getting past this creature.

So I figured, I'll cheat. I'm not above that, but I'm not sure how the cheat codes work. I've typed in the code for invincibility and it will say success sometimes, sometimes it will ask me for whom and I'll click on my character. Yet in both cases, I walk into battle and am killed within a minute or so.....so I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong on this count as well.

I have the thief as my henchman, but I've tried this battle with the fighter and the wizard and neither changed the outcome. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks

Firstly - have you gotten the Amulet of Ages from the Dryads/Dwarfs?

Secondly - op top of buffing potions (strenght, dex, etc) make sure you get some items with Stoneskin and Haste. These two latter effects will make a huge difference.

Personally - I would take either a cleric henchmen or a meele henchem into that battle, and neither the thief nor the sorcerer.

If you take a meele henchmen (Daelan or Grimgnaw) - make sure to give them some buffing potions also.

Also - effects to counter Fear would be good, so make sure to have that up.

Also - what weapons are you using + Armour - is there something better you could use for this specifically dragon? Such things should you look at also.

If you truely can't kill the dragon, an option for cheating would be to use the console command to try and spawn in "Cows From Hell" a couple of times (enter the console, active DebugMode, then enter console and type dm_cowsfromhell) - That should kill the dragon - I think - have only ever tried them on ordinary NPCs

(Don't know if they will kill your henchmen also)

( Not that I really condone of cheating, but it is a single player game

- so better to cheat to move on then be helplessly stuck. )

there is no need to cheat

just put on 2 items:
amulet of ages from the snow globe and greater swordsman's blet, which u can get from the smith in town.

after enter the cave, click on the dragon then go drink tea or do something else for half an hour. it will be dead when u come back.
