I was hoping somebody may have some suggestions on how to get past the battle with Irenicus in the Nine Hells. I have attempted this more than I would like to admit. I am so frustrated. I have tried everything I can think of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Who is in your party, and what are their levels?

~ ~ ~ ~ When you summon Jon Irenicus( JI), he will transform into the Slayer and gate in 4 Demons. What you can do is to prepare beforehand. Use Jaheira and Aerie to conjure up five summons. Aerie for Aerial Servants, Jaheira for Fire Elementals and Mountain Bears. Once this is done, cast the following spells on the whole party and the summons as well. Resist Fear and Protection from Evil 10' Radius. Aerie and Imoen should have Stoneskins on, while Jaheira has her Ironskins. Aerie and Imoen should have Melf's Minute Meteors active too. Once the pre-battle buffs have been done, position your summons evenly, and just before your Ranger summons JI, cast Haste on all the summons and party members. Aerie, Imoen and Jaheira should cast True Sight as well. When the battle starts, make Minsc, your Ranger and Valgar all cast Armour of Faith and engage the Demons in battle. In most cases, JI will teleport away, leaving his Simulacrum behind, but your True Sight should take care of it. Jaheira should cast Insect Plague on the Demons, then cast Armour of Faith and assist your Rangers. With the 5 summons, and 4 tanks, the Demons will not last long. Resist the temptation to use spells on the Demons, you will want to conserve them for the real target, JI. Once they have all been taken care of, move to the south-west to find the real JI. Try to maintain 5 summons at all times. If possible, try to use a Mordenkainen's Sword( use Imoen to cast it) to tank JI for you. You will have to cast Breaches, Khelben's Warding Whips, Secret Words and Ruby Ray of Reversal on JI so that you can strip off all of JI's protection spells. Not strictly necessary, but helpful nevertheless. You will have to cast 3 Lower Resistances on JI if you want to use offensive magic on him. Good luck, have fun. |

Simmies are solid as rock! @Gage - How did you got to the Nine Hells with such a low level party? Did you evoid doing all the side quests, or is it your first game? [ 11-03-2002, 11:48 AM: Message edited by: Alson ]

Alson, its very possible if you have a full party. I remember getting to chapter 6 with a level 11 party.
Still, a few levels won't make the HUGEST difference. |
