Here's the three battles that took me a good while to figure out...

1. Draconis - freakin misleading, invising, brown dragon menace

2. Gromnir - first boss fight, didn't really know what to expect. Once i eliminated both mages in the opening salvo, this battle was much easier.

3. Melissan - purely for the length of the battle, 7 battles in one.

and on the other side of the coin, here's the 3 battles that i thought would have presented far more of a challenge than they actually did.

1. Demogorgon - made paste of him in a minute flat. I expected him to be the hardest thing in the game.

2. Abigazal - his door guard makes him look easy.

3. Balthazar - what a letdown after some of the epic battles to get to him.

4. Ravager - i found a handy tactic on this one. I gated in a demon who attacked the swords, who couldnt damage the demon. Left me to have my entire group deal with the ravager.

One other thing, wouldnt you expect Melissan to be a heck of a lot harder than she was at the endgame? I mean, i fought some mages that had 6 or more protections to breach before i could get a hit off. She just had a blade barrier and a stoneskin. In 5 seconds flat i was greater whirlwinding her to toast. The only hard part of that battle was the 7 consecutive battles without being able to rest. That fallen solar was a pain too till i breached her defenses.

The party i had was:

Me (cleric/ranger)
Minsc (and boo)
Jaheira
Nalia
Aerie (or should i say, ritual sacrifice, since she died every battle if she got hit)
Imoen (who, for a 6th level thief, became quite the respectable mage by the endgame)

This is a ToB post, so I'll move it to the ToB forum so as not to spoil the guys here who might not have ToB yet, ok?

Moved here.
