questions concerning improved kangaxx {spoiler}

Wait until your party hits ToB levels and has access to Level 10 Wizard spells. Weimer has made Imp. Kangaxx immune to one of the great offensive spells, but not the other one.

thanks! I have no idea Melf's Minute Meteors can actually hurt Gaxx, though most of time Aerie was shouting "my weapon does nothing!" but from time to time, she got to take 1 or 2 hps out of Gaxx.
as for the sling, my current version of SoA/ToB only has Dierdre but not the additional merchant in the Copper Coronet...so I cannot get a hold of the sling.

so this time I just used one green scroll (otherwise my F/M just flied around, couldn't touch Gaxx at all), while my F/M tanking Gaxx, Aerie blasts MMM on it...again, knocked it into moral failure, now the time Jaheira joined in, hit it with Staff of Rynn. If I had found a third SI scroll, Imone can join the fight as well.

this is...I don't know, kinda tough...now (this is after Gaxx's 55000)Imone is 14 at Mage (only capable of one 7th lvl spell), Aerie is 13, and my F/M 14...I only have the Twisted Rune, Alhoon in the sewer, Cowler Wizards (I always kill them for spite when I return from the underdark), and Bohdi finale left to do; even I hold on to the last chance I can get back, I don't know whether casting lvl 10 spells is possible for us (may be able to get HLAs, but probably cannot cast them).


btw, for all the improved versions I have tried (never bother the smarter beholders since the standard version is tough enough for me), I can never survive the improved Bohdi and the FINAL BATTLE [img]graemlins/beheaded.gif[/img] it's like the standard version is indeed toooo easy, but the imporved version is just not for "lesser" gamers like myself [img]graemlins/headshake.gif[/img]

I use a solo F/M/C.
I cast SI:abj and SI: alt to counter imprisonment and teleport field. then smit it to corner. I close up and use GWW with Rynn +4, bring it down to badly injured. Then I use power attack, it stun it every hit, so kangaxx will not be able to cast timestop to heal. I try few times, every time is cast time stop when it is badly injured. another round it is finished.

that's what I thought...if my F/M were in a higher level, it'd be easier [img]smile.gif[/img]

I replay SOA/TOB after I complete SOA last year. I install tatics to add more fun, but I can not find much info on bioware BG2 forum until I come to ironworks forum.

I just defeat most of the major emeny and proceed to spell hold, twisted rune proved to be much
easier after defeat improved kangaxx.

I notice improve kangaxx cast physical mirror, which reflect any missle attack. I learn it the hard way when I get kill by my own energy blade.

My fastest run through the game was with a solo Blade. As soon as he got Mislead, I just clicked on the enemy and waited a little.

But beware, improved undead cast many times Horror or Spook and you can be seen sometimes only for a brief moment but enough for them to cast a spell.
So always use Remove Fear or something like that.

I always have her cast invoke courage before enter any battle involving spellcasting, regardless whether it's needed or not, and so my party is almost always horror free
