I've bought the game a few days ago. I liked it at first. Then I reached chapter 2 and I find the game to be way to hard. The named troll is so hard to beat. Maybe im doing something wrong but...I've been stuck there like 3 hrs...I keep reloading over and over. I dunno why the put a monster that hits for mid 20's when your characters have 60-70 hps. 3 licks and they die. I dunno maybe its just me. I made a cleric as my main guy. I cast defensive harmony and my 2 main guys have -4 AC and still get wacked to death. I know u can turn the fight down but I don;t want to. I mean..if I can't beat it on normal mode I don't wanna play. Any suggestions would be great.

Let a priest cast Entange, ou a mage Web, Cloud kill, our Fireball and gone are they

Try hasting your characters, slowing the enemy, casting pro vs evil, supporting yopur fighters with missile weapons, try backstabbing the trolls with your thief.

don't forget you need to use fire or acid to kill them-but I guess you know that.

I'm assuming you are in Nalias keep and not the Windspear Hills by the way.

I know its an obvious question but are you using weapons you are proficient in?

What is your exact party make up that would help me give some more advice.

My party is my main..cleric,misic,naila,jeria,some fighter,and a mage.thief...i cant think of thier names lol. My main problem is that Giant Troll hits so hard..whats really sad if I just pull that troll and he still whips me http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif...

Heh what diffucity do u play it on, core rules or what, i myself am playing on core rules and still finding it fairly easey, with few expections, heh, next game might try insane http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Have you played BGI...are you familiar with these games? I am currently playing BGI...I played BGII first and like you was pretty discouraged in the beginning. Then I kind of got the hang of things and started making progress...now I am barely stoppable (well,ok, maybe I have to reload a few times) I definately remember the trolls - for me ranged weapons helped and having mages/sorcerers cast missiles. What does a troll in better then acid and fire arrows! Running away helps...at least giving yourself time to regroup and rethink. Anyway, I think the game is great now that I have acquired the skills to play it. Keep trying different approaches - that became part of the fun - not just a matter of blasting away with a machine gun...got to get just the right ingredients and the npc's have to be in just the right mood http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Mucho spells and fire/acid arrows o the troll - use flail and flaming weapons to hit him - pull back wounded tanks for healing then send them back again

Thanks guys for all your advice. I'm still trying to understand the game. Lots of spells do alot of different things. It's confusing sometimes but im getting the hang of it. Also...After I killed the trolls...I went back to city gates and im getting like 5 quests. Everyone that walks up to me wants me to do something. Should I take them? I'd perfer to stay on the main quest.
