The first time thru I had the following characters on hand for the final battle:

myself (undead hunter)
Minsc
Valygar
Jahiera
Nalia
Imoen

I summoned 2 fire elementals, a woodland-being, and a couple more monsters. Furthermore, I had Nalia clone herself. This proved VERY useful.

It should go without saying that I cast every defensive spell and sucked down every useful potion possible. My party was ready to give Irenicus a SERIOUS beating for all of the hell that he had put us thru!!!

I had all of my non-mages and summoned monsters attack Irenicus' demons. My undead hunter focused on Irenicus himself, just to keep his attention. The 3 mages generally focused on breeching Irenicus' defenses with only a few shots at the demons to support the fighters. Three mages casting breeching spells is simply too much Irenicus. They were knocking his defenses down faster than he could raise them. Of course, having my Undead Hunter whacking J.I. with the Holy Avenger didn't hurt either.

All things considered, I did not find this to be the toughest battle in BG2. But it was certainly satisfying to see Irenicus get his just deserts!!!
