Mind Flayers in Athaka

Drelf68 · 01-08-2002, 07:22 PM

I have completed just about every quest in BG2. I still have not been able to get into the mind flayer section of the sewers. I need to so I can get the hammer of thunderbolts. How do I unlock the door to get in?

You get the Sewer Key from Tazok during the journey to the Windspear Hills.

You find him deep within the Firekraag dungeon, close to his master.

Cloudkill on the illithi? I've never found that effective. They have very high magic resistance.

Cloud kill will take care of those infernal giant beetles! Best to wait until you've acheived a higher level. Then use skeletal warriors with reckless abandon. Keep a hold of those potions of clarity and stock up on chaotic command spells beforehand. Too bad those don't come in a scroll. If those squid heads freeze you, you're dead! They don't take hit points, they take INT. points. Stupid PCs die fast!

If you cast cloudkill from a wand it usually ignores magic resist, I know it did for Firkraag, and the Illithids

Are we all talking about illithi? The same guys who are almost completely resistant to all spell effects, even area spells? That's one tough battle, since they can't be easily harmed magically (check out their area in the Underdark), and tend to leech intelligence while casting high level charm and stun mental effects that can work on just about anybody. Hell, they even grabbed Viconia and turned her against me--once. I ended up using plenty of summoned critters, along with a specially prepped Keldorn (Korgan, when I did this with an evil/neutral party) loaded with mind-protecting amulets, boots of speed, etc.

Or has this battle been altered substantially when ToB was added? I've always played it before installing ToB.
