There are many ways to defeat karoug depending on who you have in your party and what level you are. I always begin by applying maximum defensive clerical spells (bless, chant, defensive harmony etc) with good offensive spells (haste in particular) should get you off to a good start, with good micromanagement of the pause button, focusing on one at a time.

However, those werewolves move very fast and moving wounded characters quickly away from the action can be quite tough.

So in my most recent game, I decided to cheese it out and not give Karoug any chance at all, attacking without even engaging in dialogue, so intent was I upon killing him.
I sent Coran hasted and in the shadows up to the top deck, walked to the bottom and fired off as many arrows of detonation as I could before the transformation can take place. Initially this was just to 'soften him' up, but it worked a treat, as it was the most easiest time I've had with this battle, which can be difficult.

There should be some great old topics which might have some nice info also - I'm a big fan of doing that for tactical ideas. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Good luck with it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, send your mage with HUGE protective bonuses at him. Have him memorize an Invis. spell. Have all other characters take defensive positions around the boat, and set your archers on the coast.

I put hte AI on, and had no difficulty beating him.

Note: With your mage invisible, you can cast as many monster summoning spells as you like, and trap him.

She will be wielding that silver dagger (or the longsword versus shapeshifters) and wearing the anti-lycanthrope necklace, as well. It might take her a couple of trips, but she usually manages to whack everything singlehandedly. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

Very nice, if a bit straight forward, strategy :D

I seem to recall running up and down the stairs...and hitting things REALLY hard...

Of course, I was running a paladin through the second time, and had a 20 in strength, and crazy-awesome stats/equipment...just closed in with that guy, and the rest of my party switched to range and hammerred away...

If the beasty got too frisky, the rest of my party would run down the stairs, then come back up once they'd drank some potions.

I smell a loop hole! :D
