AD&D Monster Manuals may not help much. BGII is based off 2nd Edition rules, so if mephits aren't in there, you may have to look at a Forgotten Realms setting book. that's really expensive, so just play around in the game and die a few times until you figure it out. it's fun that way, too. you feel better if you figure stuff out by yourself and finish a battle with 1 hp than if you use someone else's strategy and come out unharmed.
