This is my second time thru BG1 so I wanted to defeat the the Doomsayer if possible early. Well I did it with a level 5 party and some buffs and some +1 weapons,,,still lost 3 out of 6 members,, but I did it. So now I've got the Kozah idol......and no where to go. Feldepost only offers 50GP for it. What can be done with the idol. Spoil me.

it looks pretty good hanging from your rear view mirror [img]smile.gif[/img]

no, seriously other than taking up pack space, i have never found a use for it. i however am not the final authority on anything

What's it good for? 4000 EXP and 50 gold, that's what.

What can it be used for? I'm not going to tell you, because it's so stupid it's actually harmful to the game. Just take your gold and EXP and be happy.

All I have to say say to that is, "Amen, brother!" ;)

*Cough Cough* Ulcaster *cough cough* ;) . If you give Ulcaster 2 certain items, he'll give you back a cursed item that won't be useful to you, but it's fun to have [img]smile.gif[/img] . I think this can only be done if you have ToTSC, though.

Thank you M'Lord. I hope what I get from Ulcaster will be worth more than 50GP.

the ulcaster item is actually of use. Only with a certain NPC though

Really? Please do spoil me kind Sir.

If you are willing to use reload a couple of times, you could try and entangle the Doomsayer, because that's like the only holding spell capable of stopping him. Continue to hack at him (Magic Missile might help) and he should go down.

Just some tips as to how I beat him.

what other item do you need to take ?
spoil us please... Ive done BG1 several times already and Im just after things Ive never found before. Also is there anything worth importing into BG2 other than laundry ?

Ross, all i have to say, is "please, don't." It's so chessy it's not even worth it. Besides, (just for you, Six) the "quest" doesn't even make any damn sense! For no reason would you take this man/ghost those two items. Arrgh!

You know the ancient armor you can get in the Firewine Ruins? The one you're supposed to give to the dead ghost? Instead, keep it, and give it to Ulcaster along with the idol for the vampiric sword.

Which one? I've always seen that sword as pretty much worthless.

Me being subtle: Everything about this quest/glitch/bug </u><font color=red size=6 face="old english text mt">SUCKS.</font></u>

It, and the programmers that wrote it, should be dragged out into the street, shot 6 times, soaked in gasoline, and burned where they lie, as a warning to all future rancid pustules of ruinous, lice-infested, thoughtless excuses for "quests."

If I were a moderator, I would have closed this thread right after my previous post. I am not kidding. I'm all for freedom of the press, but there are some things that just NEED to be buried.

hence, my earlier pleading. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Im not following this discussion at all, but i guess that is only for my own well-being then?

Correct. Trust me, everyone is actually better off NOT knowing.

I have to disagree with you, SoS. I believe everybody should do this 'quest' - if only to be able to say:

"WTF!! ....... hmmmm.... at least it can't get any worse than this."

Afterwards you can follow SoS's suggestions [img]smile.gif[/img]

*bows head in shame* Sorry I mentioned it maybe I should hold my tongue next time [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Having read all that right...it still doesn't seem to be any logic in it,
why would anyone suddenly think of handing over an ancient armour, a (history) book and a statue of kozgah to the Ulcaster ghost in order to get a vampiric sword??? there has to be some sort of hint like from a scroll? or book or from a character you met along the way...Otherwise there is just no way anyone would do that as there is no logical connection?!
Please enlighten me if you could.

It's just as logical as resurrecting a year-old thread when you've already asked the question in a thread of your own design, I think...

Thats because I was given this link by ELFBANE

Go to this thread to find out...
