Any tips? I can't even get past the first set of battles (the one with Jon and Bodhi)

- How to kill Bodhi *permanently*?
- How to dispel Jon's protection's?
- How can I prevent Imoen from changing into a Slayer and turning red? After killing her, is there any way I can get her back into the party? She's my *only* mage!

Piling up my fighters on her never failed for me. Level Drain immunity is mandatory, of course.
Aye... Improved Invisibility + Spell Immunity : Divination... Cheesy bugger! :D
Bombard him with every AoE spell you have. This will cut right through his spell protections. If he becomes visible, strike with elemental-damage-dealing weapons. Follow the battle text. ;)
You can't. Don't kill her - bite your tongue until the effect wears off.

I just played that battle myself actually,.. and I have to agree with hayashi.
My game also has Redemption, but it shouldnt make much difference.

I outright killed all enemies within a few rounds, leaving nothing but Bodhi.
So now I had Balthazar, and three other fighters + an archer + Irenicus + irenicus' simulacrum who is about evenly powerfull all throwing everything they had at her ...

I killed about 5 times, after which Balthazar got bored .. ran off .. chanted something .. came back and kicked her spirit out of her body
( probably that death-strike thing monks can do ...)

But that was just luck, she doesnt want to die any other way :mad:

Thanks - I'll try later.

One other question - at the Throne, there are three platforms with pools in them, but the bridge to them is broken. I seem to remember from my first game of BG2 (unmodded ending) that you had to fight some enemies at the pool and "use" the pool to thwart/weaken Mellisan. How do I get the 'brdge' to appear?

Any one? Some tips on how to fight this battle would be welcome (don't worry about spoilers - I just want to finish the game so I can move on to IWD2).
Thanks.

You don't do that in ascension.

How to kill Bodhi then? Every time I kill her, she runs away in gaseous form and comes back again, fully healed. Annoying as *@#^&!

You've gotta do a lot of damage, very quickly. Set up your beefiest fighters, GWW, heavy weapons. Or (I haven't tried this) it's possible that simply the Improved Mace of Disruption would work.

Ahhh! The Runehammer! How could I have forgotten??
