Since I found out about CTRL+Q I've been checking it out and have found some truly awesome characters. My current fave is Lagol Gon. He is a level 29 mage. What I like is that he can memorize 6 level 7, 6 level 8 and 3 level 9 spells. Has anyone else found any other way too powerful characters?

Bodhi, the "Bodhi" in the game is immortal.

------------------
Long live H22A1!!!!!

Heh Bodhi wasn't so immortal when I drove a stake through her heart http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif.

Yeah, but this is the Bodhi who you meet first time in the Graveyard...like many other characters in the game she has several versions....you can [ctrl] + [y] her as many times as you like and she will keep coming back. She even took out two CreateCreature Blackdragons on her own, and her hitpoints are locked at the "almost dead" position.

------------------
Long live H22A1!!!!!

SPOILER!!!

Has anyone tried to Ctrl-Q Irenicus during the Tree of Life or Final Battle?

Doesn't Ctrl+Q on Bohdi or Jon Kinda muck with the basic flow of the game? I mean whatcha gonna do, have Bodhi fighting Bohdi type scenarios? Besides I don't think Bohdi would last too long against a level 29 mage like Lagol Gon.

Heh, keep in mind this "Bodhi" CANNOT die. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...l_laughter.gif
And you spawn her through CreateCreature code, which should not create conflict within the game.

lol! Great!

My favorite is Ribal Chaotic Neutal Thief/Mage, I'd like to try Seamon but I can't find his code. My favorite Cheat isn't the ctrl-q, even if I try to keep my cheated game away from my normal games when you have to walk across the screen to get from point A to point B and you know if you encounter any ennemies it's just going to be some low lev thughs it's just damm to temping to do ctrl-j save the time and the expensive ammmo.

I've got to agree the [ctrl] + [J] is definitely more practical......hate walking from door to door like entering the fighter stronghold or from the Planar Sphere to the inn.....not to mention the Underdark. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...les/tongue.gif

As far as immortals in the game, there are several:

Imoen in the beginning dungeon
Branwen
Xan
Belt

Basically, if a character is not supposed to die, he/she won't. Most of these characters have some sort of magical device (Imoen's belt, invisible ring, etc.) that keeps them from dying.

I still like my Anti-Paladin (5 attacks per round with an Unholy Reaver is fun). The character dies once in a while, so I don't feel like it's cheating -- too much.

As for raw power, try Arkanis Gath -- the immortal assassin from the Shadow Thieves Guild. If he can kill any PC, he should be able to kill anything else as well. I haven't tried to Ctrl-Q him though.

------------------

For Arkanis Gath, all you need is his killer sword, that'll kill most creature with 1 or 2 blows in the game (except for characters who "cannot" die".

------------------
Long live H22A1!!!!!

that just ...might have a little something to do with the fact that his sword is about +1080 +10 AC +500 thaco etc etc

Yeah, his killer sword is the way to "slay" and any character can wield it. Got to give it a try just for fun for once.

------------------
Long live H22A1!!!!!

Of course excessive usage can cause an accelerated depreciation rate of the game itself.

------------------
Long live H22A1!!!!!

Although he's not immortal I enjoy playing with Entreri. I usually bring up (or down i suppose) his AC because -12 is just a little overkill. Hes got a great voice.

------------------
When all is lost, and the body has long since withered away, all you have left are your actions and their consequences.

Does all of this have to do with modifying the ini file? If so where do i find the directions for doing this? Also is there a list of cheats so you know what is possible?

------------------

Yeah, you have to put "debug mode=1" under "program option" of the baldur.ini file in the BG2 directory. Then use the console CreateCreature command, it is not just for hidden NPCs, also works for monsters you find in the game. You can find the codes using the infinity explorer.

------------------
Long live H22A1!!!!!

In case anyone wonders the stats of the killer sword:

The graphics and story for Long Sword +2: Varscona, but when you equip it, you get the following bonuses:

-35 AC bonus
Counts as a +10 weapon

THAC0: +50

Damage: 1d10+1000, +1500 fire, +1500 magic, +1500 cold, +1000 piercing, +1000 slashing, and an additional 1000 of undisclosed damage

8 attacks per turn (if you get more proficiencies, you'll get a max of 10 attacks per turn)

100% magic resistance

Immunity to: charm, panic, sleep, slow, stun, fatigue, hold, confusion, feeblemindedness, web, and some others

There are no race, class, or alignment restrictions on it.

------------------
Long live H22A1!!!!!

Can you get the Bhaal avatar as an NPC, he was immortal I think, as he got to the almost dead stage and stopped taking damage.

Ctrl-Q doesn't work on that Arkanis Gath. It works on the wussy version.

I still think that Artemis Entreri is the best Ctrl Q NPC. The human Adalon is pretty awesome too.

Wow that sword kicks ass. I don't recall for sure but I thought i had that sword in my inventory. I never equipped it though because it was only a +2.

Yeah, the benefits don't show on inventory screen, some of it will show on character info when equiped though.

whats the itemcode for the killer sword?

KILLSW01

Be careful, excessive usage can cause accelerated depreciation rates to the game's value.

------------------
Long live H22A1!!!!!

It's impossible for you to have the killsword in your inventory Raist because there is nowhere for you to find it. The one you had in your inventory was just the standard Longsword +2.

What does Ctrl Q do??????? I am interested. Plus, I think is you change the colour of Imoen's clothes in Irenicus' dungeon she has them in all the dream sequences........


------------------
Starstryke will Stryke U!

Ctrl+Q is a debug thing you can do to make just about any thing in the game a NPC. By the way, forget about Lagol Gon. Terminsel rules. He is the one who hands you the note when Jaheira runs off the turn herself in. He is a cleric/mage ... level 29 cleric and level 17 mage, he can memorize 12 spells for every spell level both cleric and mage. He's neutral alignment which is rare. He wears neutral archmage robe, ring of protection +2, cloak of protection +2 and Amulet of protection +1 ... his AC is incredible of a magic user.

oh my.... i didnt know that!!!

P.S. most harpers are neutral
