Enlisting help worth it? (chapter 6 spoilers)

Melcheor · 12-12-2005, 02:48 PM

Is it worth getting Drizzt, The Order and/or the Shadow Thieves to help you in the bhodi fight in chapter 6? I always have got their help in previous games but all it seems to achieve is less EXP for me, the role-play seems a touch suspect too, the PC being a bit of a natural loner throughout the series. I have quite a high level party (Jaheira, Keldorn, Minsc, Jan, Imoen, PC Invoker), having done every quest i could remeber existed in chapters 2 and 3.

Basically no, not if you already have a party that wont struggle. There's also the risk that you'll hit one of the good guys with an area of effect spell or with a dire charmed character which has really screwed me over a couple of times - I would avoid it if you've done it once for the novelty.

And the Order's leader has the sword that I believe is called Harbinger. It detonates a fireball with each succesful hit, and it hits everyone that's helping you, thus making them angrily leave. You could probably do it alone... but the thief is quite handy to have.

He only disarms the 2 traps before Bodhi's room.
