Well I finally dug up my copy of this great gem... and decided to try something new, and made a mage (Which I have never done before... and it is damn hard but great fun [img]smile.gif[/img] ). Anyway I'm doing fairly good, and about to take Minsc to the Gnoll Stronghold. But there is one thing I never figured out and want to try, there is a thief in High Hedge that suggest that I rob the Mage stronghold... but how?
I remember when I first played the game I tried but was pasted around the floor in all my tries so I gave up. Has anyone managed? [img]smile.gif[/img] please spoil me [img]smile.gif[/img] |

Well, you can't. You can kill anyone, but then Thalantyr's (is that his name?) inventory is gone and you only have access to the staff he drops. When you do visit the inside of high-hedge go straight to the mage dude and talk to him or IIRC his flesh golems attack you on sight. Anyways don't kill the mage his inventory has some awsome items you can't get otherwise.

Simply kill the 2 flesh golems in there to access Thalantyr's goodies. You can fight them 1 at a time (don't bother with magic) by pulling just one of them away. It's a good idea to have a tank fight him while someone with a ranged weapon shoots from farther away. BTW...don't kill Thalantyr if you want to buy his stuff.

Actually, I killed both flesh golems with Imoen alone. Granted she had the dagger of venom, boots of stealth, and that shadow leather armor. Can anyone say backstabbing machine?

Yeah...the only way to steal from Thalantyr is to get those bundles of ten throwing knives from the skeletons outside and then sell them one at a time to Thalantyr, then buy thme back in bundles and sell them back to him one at a time...lol
I only did that for about thirty minutes that one time...

I kill the golems as Imoens first kills using the dagger +1 and oils of speed combined with nifty hit-and-run-and-hide tactics. There's a couple of easy levels for you.

You don't really even need to kill the flesh golems. They will stay blue for long enough for you to walk your character up to Thalantyr and talk to him. If you choose the right dialog options you can access his "shop" and obtain some very useful items as mentioned above. I suppose you could always kill the flesh golems for the XP and then talk to Thalantyr, but I just leave them alone and all they do is run around in circles...

If you want to kill flesh golems for the XP and you don't mind a small "exploit", there is a cave at the NW corner of one of the coastline maps, where you can find some nice loot and kill 3 flesh golems. Then, every time you sleep inside the cave, a flesh golem will spawn. You can do this ad nauseum (or at least as long as your HP will tolerate it) and level up quite nicely...
...if, as I said, you are willing to make use of an "exploit." I will leave the judgement of whether this is "powergaming" to others.
