How Did They Do That?

this is a kinda weird question to ask,

it says that imeons belt cannot be removed no matter what she does by any means.

but when i get her back in spellhold she does not have it

so howd she get it off?

SPOILER-ish

When you get her back after the rituals that Irenicus does to the two of you. He doesn't need Imoen any more. I would bet that his arrogance cannot foresee anyone "getting the better of him". He has no reason to leave it on.

Oooh...just thought of something, MAY-be the ritual requires the belt to suck out Immies soul...

I can't remember the exact dialoges between Imoen, Irenicus and Bohdi. She just shows up ready to go, but completely devoid of any equipment

AC

Imoen's Belt has only one purpose: to keep players from killing her before you get out Irenicus's dungeon. It doesn't really have anything to do with Irenicus. If you killed Imoen (or if she got killed by a monster), it would look pretty weird when you saw her fight Irenicus and get abducted by the Cowled Wizards in Waukeen's Promenade. It's all about preserving game continuity

Imoen is also protected in other ways in Chapter One. For example, if she reaches 1 hit point, she will run away and meet you in Waukeen's Promenade. Even if you remove her belt and cast Disintegrate on her, she will still show up in the cut-scene when you leave Irenicus's dungeon. The game designers don't want anything to mess up the plot.

The reason why she isn't wearing the belt when you meet her in Spellhold is because the "Imoen" you meet in Irenicus's dungeon and the "Imoen" you meet in Spellhold are actually two different characters. They have different CRE files, different soundsets, different amounts of experience, different levels, different spells, etc. This is also true of other NPCs that you meet in different places. For example, the "Bodhi" you meet in Chapter Three will drain two levels per hit, while the "Bodhi" you meet in Chapter Six will drain five levels per hit. There are seven or eight different versions of Jon Irenicus. This is all perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

Imoen's belt also happens to turn her into an unkillable damage soaker if she's held and silenced. Handy for improved Illy. I must note that I have only read about this and would never stoop to such evil tactics myself.

You don't really need her... if you're cold, mean, evil, nasty and terrible enough to leave your poor, helpless, adopted sister behind you can do so.

Wow, this is cool! It's like Kangaxx a while back who just wouldn't die even after 5000+ damage LOL

That was a bug though...
