Post by Rahvin »

I cant kill him. Only my main guy using the silver sword and imoen can hit him, everything else is innefective. I can get him to "injured" before he finally kills me off with confusion, etc. please help, any ways to kill him welcome.

Not sure, but...

I'm not sure, but I think people have given advice on this in another thread. Try doing a search for keywords. I can't give much advice: I had to re-load so many times it was kinda ridiculous. :(

Demons (whatever variety) aren`t really that difficult.
First off, chaotic commands will protect you from confusion, fear, charm etc.....
Secondly You need +3 weapons to kill em, if you haven`t got one (and that would be surprising) get a mage to make you one via the 4th level spell enchanted weapon.
Thirdly, ya main fighter needs to be improved hasted

Then just pound away
An optimist sees the light, follows it AND IS BLINDED BY IT
A Pessimist sees the light, avoids it AND WANDERS BLINDLY

Out of curiosity... What demon in the game are you talking about, exactly? One of the TDD ones? The one in the Underdark (not very likely as you are already walking around with the Silver Sword)? Or any other demon?

You can also try the spell Protection from evil, it will prevent the demon to attack you even when you are hitting him (cheesy!).

I suppose you speak of the Balor in the Underdark caves.
Just bash him hard, I'd no problem with Carsomyred Keldorn ... :D
Don't waste spells on him though,he's mostly impervious to magic !

However you should have some protection against his fear/confusion/etc to avoid unpleasant outcomes... :p .. Chaotic Commands (lvl 5 Cleric spell) is a must !

If it's the balor in the gnome village, pull your guys out of the room where you find him; he can't get through the door. Bombard him will spells (lower resistance, disintegrate, etc.) and beat on him with weapons like the Staff of Rynn +4, Celestial Fury, Flail of Ages +3 and any other high-enchantment items. When your fighters get low on HP, pull back and heal them with potions or your clerics.

If brute force doesn't work, you're not using enough.

I just used fire elementals against him, they basically distracted him long enough to whale on him with the Flail of Ages.
I care not for endings or beginnings, but for the eternal and infinite spaces of the universe, and for the endless exploration of eternity, and mysteries which I will find plumbing the infinite depths.

"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong" quote from Arthur C. Clarke, thought it was interesting.

Tips on living longer: eat right, exercise, and yes castrate yourself, eunuchs live longer then normal people.
