Twisted Rune: I tried this fight several times at lower level and got blasted to pieces. I thought a bit about strategy, went in at higher level, and took them with no reloads. Loved it! It is one of those really intense chaotic battles. I think I was 11th or 12th level and in ch3 when I did this battle.
The party was:
Cayle (Stalker)
Minsc
Jaheira
Aerie
Nalia
Viconia << Left the party during a lull in the fighting.
Demon Plane: With another party, I had an even bigger, more intense battle. At risk of repeating myself, I posted this In reply to Darkskymoon’s “Devils at the Planar Sphere” thread a couple of days ago.
One of the best battles I ever had in BG2 was here. It was right up there with the T"§$%&d R"§e. My potion buffed Cavalier and Amonen had boosted to 23/24 STR, stoneskin, etc. Our summoned pets were Fire elementals and skeletons. Our little army charged and took down the first group. PC and Anomen hacking away, Val on the bow dealing with imps, J on the sling doing likewise and Aerie/Nalia really going at the demon with wands of lightning. Afterwards, the beasties saw imps, salamanders, whatever in the fog of war and took off after them. We followed and it was a running battle across the whole board. MASS MELE, WHOOHOO! It was almost like playing one of those real time strategy games. We cleared the whole board in about 1/2 hour of real time (including paused head scratching time). Usually I am content with a single demon heart and I drag my battered party back into the sphere. Usually, I have a battle, move on, fight another battle, etc. This one really did turn into a mass melee across the whole map. Afterward, I saved the game and just sat there for a few minutes.
