Kangaax is way harder than Firkraag!!!

Hesperex 04-06-2001 03:31 PM

Kangaxx is MUCH!!!!! harder to beat, unless you use a magical protection scroll. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

I've killed all Firkraag and the Shadow dragon while with a lvl 10-12 party, and I can't kill Kangaxx with the same party, so I'm gonna have to say Gaxx is harder.

Tom 04-06-2001 05:33 PM

Firkraag was harder. The kangaxx demi-lich was easy. I just used korgans rage and was gone in an instant.

Nostron 04-06-2001 05:42 PM

Kangaxx is definetely harder. All those imprisonment spells i just can't take them.

------------------
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Tom 04-06-2001 06:19 PM

I thought Firkraag was harder than kangaxx. I kill him with one guy without protection.

Whith Firkraag i put on a wizard with boots of speed and cloak of mirroring. I ran around in circles while backup mages kept spell striking him.

Died 1000 x.

Wah 04-06-2001 07:00 PM

Definitely Kangaxx - you wouldn't stand a chance without some protection of some sort.
I say that Firkraag should be a bit tougher for an AD&D dragon don't you think?

Depends who you are pitting against Kangaxx or the red dragon, for example a berserker/mage (solo) will have a much harder time dealing with the red dragon than Kangaxx, which is my case.

Hard to say. They're both so different. It took me less attempts to kill Kangaxx, but I was a high level when I met him (wait till he meets my Chicken lord - doom!)

I killed Kangaxx after I hit him with the mace of disruption and he missed his saving throw http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

Firkaag on the other hand took me about 6 reloads to beat.

So my vote is that Firkaag is harder!

They both can be killed quickly to some extent - depending opn what you possess in your inventory. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Kangaxx. I first fought him very early October, just after BG2 shipped out. There was nothing on any board anywhere on a strategy to beat him. I must've done 10 reloads trying pretty much everything before I worked the strategy out.

When people work out (or are told) the trick to beating him, of course he's easy. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Is this the same Kangaxx that I ave spent the last week hunting down bits of dissmembered body parts for?? Cos if it is I am pissed. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/frown.gif

Kick me if u think i'm dumb.

Tancred 04-07-2001 05:12 PM

I vote Firkraag. At least Firkraag doesn't need to die first to get hard. And, like you say, Kangaxx just needs to come up against the right combination of spells, items and abilities and FOOF! He dies. Against Firkraag I had a battle that lasted half and hour, with both sides healing and casting and attacking.

Tancred

I bit my nails down to nothing during that fight. Jeeeeeesus.

The one and only! Don't worry - there is a SERIOUS prize if you can defeat him.

Tough choice

Firkrag i just cast gate, let the pit fiend take to brunt, and pounded the hell outa him with celestial,blade of roses.

kagnaxx i just used a wizard eye and did much the same thing except i used the holy avenger.

So the "who is harder" question brings up much debate

so ill take a average brand new level 7 party of 1 paladin,1sorc,1cleric,1thief,1ranger,and 1 fighter/mage for good measure

Do the math and i say JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE IS IT NOT ENOUGH THAT THEY ARE BOTH HARD! I MEAN COMON IF YOU COULD NOT EXPLOIT THIER STUPID AI AND THEY COULD ACTUALLY MAKE REAL DECISONS THIS WOULD NOT EVEN BE AND ARGUEMENT,KNOW WHY? CAUSE NO ONE WOULD HAVE EVER BEATEN EITHER ONE OF THEM, OR SURVIVED THE BATTLE TO TELL ABOUT IT!

But anyway, i say firekragg is harder, it only takes one wizard eye to destroy kagnaxx.

Kangaxx was most deffenetly harder. As Memnoch said,I also fought Kangaxx very early before there were stratagys on every board and he was very hard to beat. I had to devise my own stratagy through much trial and error.

Kangaxx kangaxx kangaxx

Firkrag is easy all you gotta do is get
1) Cloak of Reflection
2)Cloak of mirroring
3)Lightning bolts

position one guy w/cloak O reflection on one side and a mage w/ cloak O mirroring on the other and launch a ligtning bolt at the other guy they just keep bouncing through him easy

Nex 04-08-2001 11:26 PM

I don't use any AI exploits or any other little tricks (cloudkill, wizard eye, etc etc), and I have to say that Gaxx is just too tuff to defeat with his imprisonment spells.

Firkraag just takes time, enuff potions on yer party and you can just beat him down. Gaxx requires too good of weapons to fight.

Gargoyle 04-09-2001 12:53 AM

I don't know about anybody else, but my part was at a much lowerel level when I fought Firkaag, than it was when I fought Kangaxx, so I guess Firkagg was the tougher one. But to contradict myself they were both reload moments !



------------------
Time is only relevant if you have none !

Wizbane 04-09-2001 04:07 AM

Can someone remind me who was Kangaxx? A lot of time has passed...
Firkraag was tough, but I met him when my party was of low levels (remember the "come back when you are ready?" My answer was "Sword! Meets evil!"

Ah! either I missed him or I just confused him with a normal lich. If it's the guy you have used in your sig. I've definetly dispatched him more easily than Firkraag. If not I suppose I have to play all BGII again to see it...can you remind me where Kargaxx was met?

Ah, you'd remember Kangaxx if you'd fought him. He's a flying skull... and he would have killed you first time round, if only because you'd be unprepared for his extroadinary capabilities.

Tancred

BG2SOA 04-09-2001 04:32 PM

If you fight a lich and you have to reload 15 times to beat it, you probably met Kangaxx http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

Damark_Ifrit 04-10-2001 01:32 AM

I have to say depend on the party combination too. My party with archer in it can take down Filkragg ( and other dragons ) fairly easy. But the lich is one huge sucker. I reloaded quite a few times. But with a protection scroll, he went down easily. So I say Filkragg is harder

for powergamers: they both suck, once you mastered the skills

for RPG player: RPG players have respect to the "Roles" they dont talk about who suck who rock
