this one and the shadow one are stupid (perhaps BioWare must do something)
because they are not hostile when you meet them. How I beat them - the hard way. I'm sorcerer and my most powerful beaten enemy is this red dragon (on the information panel of my character) and the shadow one is in the info of Aerie. First I'm casting magic resistance on them - this set their resistance to 10-25 (depends on the lvl of the caster usually Jaheira) (they don't get hostile because this priest spell is blue). Then everybody from the party MUST not see the dragon - get them away. My first attack is lower resistance what leaves the dragon at 1-2% magic resistance. My sorcerer and Aerie have their minor sequencers loaded with two magic missles. Note that when you cast lower resistance (i have autopause on spell cast on) - after the pause I imeddiatly move back so when the spell touches the dragon he is not seeing anybody. Next: (in front of the dragon - not on him)
Jaheira - entangle
Aerie - web
Me - greater malisome(not sure of the name - lower its saving throws to keep him in the web and/or in the entagle)
Next the shadow dragon can be killed with cloud kill, fireballs and, holy smite and the red one - can not(imunity to fire).
The red one heals himself during the battle and/or magic resistance stops. So you've got to catch the time when his HP is small enough and he is not healed yet. At this point I'm releasing the sequencers and everybody that can shoot with ranged weapon attacks him - what happens - he speeks with you and he is death.
There are also ways to beat them in two rounds but I'm not sure where was the place I read about them. If you read them the battle will be boring. Finding your own tactic may be fun. Try procetion from fear and fire on your fighters. Breach the stoneskin that the red one uses. Don't stop casting spells what are weakening him. If it says resistance - lower it, if it says save vs spell - lower them.
Hope to help and happy playing [img]smile.gif[/img]
