Finally Beat Melissan (Thanks for your help

Spoiler Warning(I think)
That takes a little getting used to. Putting that first in my posts.

Woohooo!


Thanks to your tips I was able to Conquer Melissan with little trouble. The hardest part was surviving the first round, after that she was a push over. Thats probably because I sorta cheaped her the other 3 times but, hey a victory is a victory right! LOL

Oh Here's the Battle so you can see my cheap shot strategy:

My character is a F/M/T
F17/M18/T22
Party
Jaheira
Nalia
Aerie
Imoen
Korgan

Before going into battle I made sure I had a bunch of the Mord. Sword spells memorized and I had my Main Characters Levl 9 spell slots filled with Wish spells. I had Everyone Else Armed with Slings +5 and the tons of +4 Bullets I had Picked up from the WK Plus and any other +5 ranged weapons I had in my inventory.

Any way here goes:

Whole Party: Attacks and does a little damage after she gets done talking, then Imoen Calls some Mord. Swords, Nalia Summons Planetar,
And the Planetar begins attacking Melissan, Aerie Summons a couple more Mord. Sword to Hold off her flunkies. Jaheira and Korgan all the While are plugging away with Range Weapons While I go in for Melee to further Distract her. Eventually we do enough damage to send her back to the Essence Fountain.

I Then Heal every one and set 7 Spike Traps in front of the Essence fountain. Next I cast Time Stop and Run over to the Elemental Prince and quickly dispatch it with one Greater Whirlwind attack and Cut off the Fountain.

Mellisan Appears, Gets Trashed by the Spike Traps and Retreats Back into the fountain for the Second time. I then Cast Wish Untill I get the option To Rest, Lay some more Spike Traps and have the other spell casters do their summons to tie up Melissans flunkies that seem to pop up every time she appears.

I then repeat this process and Bam! She's Gone Leaving Solar to tell me That I disgust her since I want to be an Evil God. I did the other ending too where I give up my Essence and the next time I play through I think I'll get the good ending just to be thourough.

A Cheap Strategy I Know but hey it worked and, save for the first round where Nalia and Aerie got killed because they panic when their low on HP and begin running around, My entire party got through with barely a scratch.

It's too bad a Backstab doesn't work on Melissan cause with my x5dmg I could probably doe some serious damage.

Well done! The tactic for killing Melissan is very good!
