Final Battle (Spoiler!)

Post by LordRain »

Well, I'm kinda stuck here. I have Minsc, Jaheira, Sir Anomen, Imoen, Haer'Dalis in my party. I am a Invoker Mage. I always manage to slay the Demons that Irenicus is summoning, but when it comes to the, now turned slayer, himself, I just cannot manage to inflict a lot of damage before my whole party is wasted. Any ideas?

here's what i did, and it worked pretty well, altho i was using a swashbuckler, i bet you can still turn it around to help your mage as well. Before the fight even started, i summoned creatures where the demons would spawn, then, when the actually fight started, i moved my party to the bottom of the map, leaving my creatures to busy the demons. The demons just stayed up at the top, while Irenicus came down to face me by himself. I already had my team scattered out so he couldn't cast one thing and affect my entire party, as soon as he showed himself i turned my main into the slayer, and started doing heavy damage, by the time he was about to die, all his shields were starting to wither, but I also had to change back to normal, i then jumped him with everyone who wasn't paralyzed, or cursed, or whatever, and was able to do enough damage to kill him. It took my a few tries to finally get it right, but it'll work eventually. you should try that if your in real trouble

mages suck in last battle and thrown of bhall

irenicus has like 95% magic resistance so dont try to cast spells on him. plus focus all your energy on him not his friends.

P.S. this is just a suggestgen in thrown of bhall don't use a mage almost all creatures in the game have 50-100% magic resistance

The 5th level wonder helps you a lot on that - Lower Resistance.

Or the 5th level cleric wonder: Magic Resistance.
This will set his resistance to 25-35%

Wow, someone missed the boat, eh?
I have given up all lesser evils as inadequate to my purpose.

Tactic for killing plain Irenicus with bard:

Buffs chained
Cast summons and clouds to kill Johnie friends,

Once you killed them, do the sequence:

1-get away from johnie sight specially if he cast Timestop
2-Re-buff what you need to couteract his Slayer form
3- if you have hla plant some traps and bring him to it. Death.
3'- if you dont have hlas or dont want to use cheese, cast improved haste on yourself, then breach him and lower resist twice, using summons to distract him.
4- cast your destructive spells. the breach shall least some more, but at this time you may have got him almost badly wounded.
5- Tenser's transformation, and if blade, offensive spin.
5'- Slayer form.
6- Whack him as quick as you can, use potions of healing and speed to help you escape if things are worst than they should be.

Easy as pie.
