Kangaxx the Lich refuses to die (spoilers)
Posted: Mon May 10, 2004 6:51 am
Sorry for the spoilers, if you don't wish to be spoiled, don't read on.
So, I came back from Spellhold last night, upgraded all those nifty items, equipped my whole party with uber items, walking the streets of Athkathla defiently at night luring those thug parties (not that many showed up, though).
I did some wicked planning and preparation (all wizard types have Chain Contingency now), queing triple Abi-Dalzims and what not, getting ready to do all the real baddies in Athkathla in one night (I had strategically left the Kangaxx-related liches as well as the Twisted Rune).
Beautiful battles, careful buffing, Spell Immunity and such, timestops, and the Twisted Rune were dead with no one losing more than 20% of their HP. No nasty chain contingencies were even activated!!! I dispatched with the liches in a similar fashion; one of them I slayed before his Tatoos of Power and crazy buffs could kick in (Mazzy is a Sytze-worthy archer now!). The nasties above improved Kangaxx in the Docks were nasty as usual (almost killed Mazzy), but nothing really spectacular.
And then the bug! I was ready for Kangaxx, my PC had a single scroll of protection from magic just in case, and we took on to bash Kangaxx the Lich, waiting impatiently for his other self to appear. But it didn't happen!! Don't you hate it when you get these unkillable characters! I didn't fake-talk, battle started normally but Kangaxxy wouldn't die, whatever I did !! OK, he finally ran out of spells, it seems, but I just kept pounding on him with 5 fighter-type characters and their uber-weapons. I think I did about 6000 damage to him because Chloe with the Water Scimitar of Cheese (Water's Edge) raised her HP to over 400! Cntl-Y I tried as well, but no effect, no damage taken!! I reloaded, CLUA-ed in the Ring of Gaxx, gave everyone 20000 XP and indignantly marched out of there.
Has anyone else had such an annoying thing happen to them? I don't know what is causing this, but it's got to be one of the mods (all are Weidu, nonetheless).
