I did lose rep, all the way down to 10. I didnt use arrows of detonation - when i did that before, i killed both dukes. I presume there will be some point underground where it will make sense to use them.


I got stuck fighting the ogre jellies in the thieves maze. Will reload, and "prepare" for that battle. Since magic doesnt work, i will use imoen as backstabber. Will have minsc use axes instead of majic arrows. Use monster summoning. Then try to rest after that.

I vow to avenge the memory of my fallen brothers! LotM, watch your back!

Well I have finally decided to give up trying to get cheap rubbish on edonkey, and have just bought BG from Amazon. Should be here in a couple of days, so if anyone can chip in with some excuses for my girlfriend then I'd be most grateful.

Tell her that you have to leave town for a month...

[duke o' york]

But...

I want to keep her,
I want to keep my job,
I want to keep my friends, and
I want to keep myself alive because she wouldn't be prepared to bring me food.

But I also quite fancy some isometric RPG fun.

[centrifuge]

well then, my friend, moderation is your only recourse. (ie play when you have time and more importantly when she's not around ) Trust me, my wife despises BG, because it took up so much of my time

I only get geeky about about history games. a fantasy setting is my chance to be completely ungeeky (now if this were set in a more stricly Tolkien world ..... )

LotM. Get a pizza, take the phone off the hook and call in sick. You have entered the "reload zone"

I think the thiefs' maze contains one of the hardest fights in all the IE games.

Spoiler:

Two magic-proof and arrow-proof skeleton warriors behind a lethal trap in a narrow corridor, who have magic ice arrows...

Just try, try and try again...

As for your rep - you must have got some civillians I found the arrows were best for the Iron Throne top floor BTW.

Will arrows of detonation not work against them either??

Seriously, im not enthralled enough with this game to go through more than a reasonable numder of reloads to get past such a fight. I will read the walkthroughs and even cheat to get past. If necessary i will simply drop the game.

[centrifuge]

you'll be fine, use some bullets and slings, and don't be afraid to run

BTW, this sir is blasphemy

[centrifuge]

Oh, and just buff everybody up bless, aid, haste (espescially haste) etc. and try to take them on one at a time if possible, by luring one with a hasted character wearing boots of speed.

Lord Jamski, Lord Jamski! Can we burn the heretic?

[Drogue]

If magic and arrows don't work, neither will detonation ones. Slings will, or disarm the trap and use hand to hand. I have to say, I finished BGI and can't particularly remember that fight, so there must be a relatively easy way

[duke o' york]

Can you not somehow lure the enemies into the trap?

Just a thought - my copy hasn't arrived yet, but since I only ordered it yesterday then I shouldn't get too excited too early.
