Bodhi in chapter 6 (Warning! Spoilers!)

Shotgun · 09-02-2003, 10:43 AM

Okay, I've tried killing Bodhi three or four times now in chapter 6, and I always end up getting one of my NCPs killed. I hate having someone die, and I don't have any resurrection spells, so I start again. Anyway, what's the best way to kill her? I've cast Protection from the Undead on Minsc so he can hack away at her without being noticed, but her minions end up taking out my other guys. I summon some beings, but they don't seem to help, either. What am I doing wrong?

I was thinking of trying this: summoning some monsters, etc., cast Protection scroll on Minsc, and just sending them in. I'd let Minsc take care of Bodhi and the monsters can deal with Bodhi's group. Once Bodhi's gone, I'd send in the rest of the crew if necessary. Is that too extreme? Is there an easier way? I always find my group gets stuck at the door so the fight is really crunched in one area and I have trouble figuring out where my guys are in the middle of everything.

Oh, one last thing. Several times during the fight, one or more of my NCPs gets nailed with a dire charm spell. I remove it, but my "allies" end up considering them enemies even after they've been "cured." How do I get the allies to stop hacking away at my NCPs? They almost took out Viconia and Aerie at one point.

thats the answer!thats the way i usually fight them if necessary:try to just make one of yer best fighter stand in by the door (dont forget to equip him/her with an item that protects u from level drain), and automatically bodhi's minions will come to get u, but what a surprise, they can only fight with u 1 on 1 since u stand on the door preventing other monsters to try to hit u.once the monsters dead, its another monsters turn to be killed.do it over and over till its safe for u and yer party to go in.good luck

I assume you're talking about the standard Bodhi?

ehhh...? you should get an item, and amulet which grants immunity to level drain, in the beginning of chapter 3. send someone equipping that up front, and yes, summons will help. don't send in your main tank too early if not with that amulet or protected from negative energy (priest spell, protecting from level drain, yet very short duration); also, priest spell -- false dawn, and mage spells -- confusion, chaos, horror, and death will be effective against her footsoilders.

most of the time, rather than having problem killing Bodhi, I was trying to get the XP for killing her for many times it was Drizzt who got the kill@"@

Ah, maybe that's my problem. I tried to get all of them in at the same time. I do have the amulet, but Minsc can't wear it because he's a fighter or something. Think I could still do the Protection from Undead scroll on him to let him hack away?

Sorry, I don't know what the difference is between the standard Bodhi and the other one. She's taken Anomen (my female PC was having a romance with him), so he's a member of Bodhi's group now. Will Bodhi wait in the back until I kill all of her groupies first?

The difference between the standard Bodhi and the advanced Bodhi will become clear once you start installing the Tactics mod, which enhances many fights in the game. A PfU scroll (Prot from Undead, remember this one...) will be a sure way to kill Bodhi without your tank being detected. Just make sure your other party members don't get killed by her flunkies or Bodhi herself though. Bodhi will attack you after the conversation has ended. Having lost Anomen removes many very useful buffs from your party. Do you have another cleric in your party? Are you melee-fighter oriented? Use many of the clerical-buffs available to you. Also: improved invisibility if you have it is extremely usefull. Make sure your fighter has it cast on him before the fight. Can't think of anything else rights now....

taking them all at the same time is OK...just don't send all your party in too soon.

First, did you pour the holly water in the blood pool in the beginning of the fight? that'll weaken Bodhi. then, send someone with the Amulet (obvious not your best, "pure" fighter, but good enough to stay with Bodhi-- she will rush to the first person you send in there and most of the time will stick to him/her. then, send as many higher level summons as possible in while the rest of the party stay by the door, using ranged weapons and casting spells.
if you don't have another cleric besides Anomen, it'd be more difficult, yet, the mages are extremely effective in taking out her vampires -- chaos, horror and death spells. when those level draining beings are out of the picture, you can send everybody in to take care of the rest of them.

if you didn't install the tactics mod, you don't need to worry about the improved Bodhi, which is said to be extremely tough~~

Okay, I have standard Bodhi. Yeah, I lost Anomen, but I have Viconia, Aerie, Minsc, Mazzy, Keldorn, and me (female mage). I have Viconia cast her spells, Mazzy, Minsc, and Keldorn can fight, but since they're only protected from level drain by a spell, it doesn't last long.

IIRC, Aerie can equip the Amulet of Power (not sure about Viconia). anway, you can send Aerie (with the amulet and casting stoneskin; memorzing as many stoneskin as possible) in to stay with Bodhi first (give her some belts or weapons to raise her strength to 18+). your PC/mage and Viconia should be able to take care of the vampires while Aerie and summons holding back Bodhi and grimwarders (Mazzy and Minsc can fire up arrows at the same time too).

Might be easy just to rest and have Viconia and Aerie memorize some Raise Dead spells.

Did you also try using what Elhan gave you in the main chamber down there?

I second BaronKnight and the logjam idea. Cast chaotic commands on Keldorn, give him the amulet of power, and put some hardy summons around him (aerial servant, animal summoning 2, hakeashar, etc.). Let all the inhabitants group around Keldorn trying to hit him. They can't level drain him, and depending on his setup he can be hard to hit.

Meanwhile, have other fighters (like Minsc) whacking on the crowd through the safety of the wall of summons. If Minsc has a two-handed weapon, he can swing right over the summons and hit the vampires, while the vampires have to get through the summons to get to Minsc.

Let everyone else plink away with missile weapons or unleash a magic barrage. False Dawn and Sunray can be put to good use, as can a well-placed Fireball or Skull Trap or two.
