Watchers keep

Sean · 10-02-2001, 09:38 PM

I have just encountered the hardest fight I have ever come across in any of the baldurs gate or icewind dale games.
It is in the last level of watchers keep, when you put the last key in the center of the room. Six very powerful creatures appear.
I would have trouble with any one of them, but 6 is too hard.
Any tips on how to take on these guys would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Sean

*****************SPOILERS********************

Ok, here's a couple of suggestions. Before you put the key in, take your thief if you have one and lay traps all around the area they will appear. Back all of your characters off, especially spellcasters so they'll be out of harms way. If you have the skulltrap spell memorize several copies of it and cast a bunch of them right there where the baddies will appear. If you don't have it there may be something else that will work (delayed blast fireball maybe?) anyways, if you had enough traps to set and/or 2-4 skull traps it will seriously weaken them and you should be able to win.

BETTER WAY take your team and hide as far back as you can and do what prime2u
suggested using your Thief---then cast farsight on the Position the bad guys appear at-----then start casting Incendiary Clouds, Death Fog, Fire Storm,and Cloud Kill from off-screen---then just sit back and watch them all die!! You may need to cast everything more than once but With the combination of Prime2u & My tactics it shouldnt take to long for them all to bite the big one! so Good luck

No need to be THAT rude, cffl.com.. I didn't. I can laugh about the first things, but that rolling thing, well, that's no fun at all.

If you think that's hard, wait till you try the Imprisoned One below, lol. Tho' you do have the option of not fighting it, hint, hint...

cffl, there was no call for anything like that. just because Link stated that he did something amazing doesnt mean that he was bragging or anything... i HATE it when people take it that way!

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings now? Ha, ha, ha... Stop acting as if you're sad. And there's no need to act as if you're angry either. Because, Cloud, you are... a puppet.

Which the most of us will take, in my opinion. Thanks for the support by the way, Seph.
