Can I get some ideas on how to finally destroy the improved jon. The battle with the dragon, beholder, sword and wraith gave me trouble at first but now I can beat them without having my main character cast but about 2 spells. He's a wizard slayer11/mage22 and I have Solafein, Jahiera(she sucks), Imoen, and Valygar. After that battle jon casts and runs until I can beat him. The problem I'm having is when he turns into his slayer form and strips me of every item of eqiupment I have and it's just one on one. I try to get spells off but most of them fail because he's all over me like stink on a monkey. I could maybe get off a simalcrum to help but I haven't so far. What else should I try? [img]graemlins/question4.gif[/img] Just turning into the slayer myself and see who lasts the longest? I don't really want to win like that. And I feel for someone playing a thief or a fighter that doesn't have any spells or weapons.

Okay, I just read Dundee's Fist of Fury topic and that help's some but I don't have all those spell levels. I have 3 ninth, four eighth, five seventh etc. So if anyone could help out with what spells i should go in with, considering my spell level.

Did you read the HINTS-Irenicus.txt file?

Your equipment is right where he left it -- at the top of the map by the door. Cast Haste on yourself and ru (or just walk) up to it and pick it up. You won't be able to put on your robe in the middle of combat, but the wands and rings and scrolls may help you out.

The traditional strategy for pure fighters is to walk up, get your uber-weapon (e.g., Ages, Fury) and then attack him a bit. Thieves can set traps and lead him on a merry chase.

Some people "luck out" here by having summons that are "left over" from the first part of the fight that can be used to distract Irenicus-the-Slayer.

Keep us posted on your progress.

How would thieves set traps? You can't set traps during a battle...

Thanks! I did look for the hints file, after I saw you mention that in Dundee's thread but I have the Improved Ire. from the Sola mod and not the Tactics one on this PC. Is it still on there? And I will be letting you know how it goes now that I can run up and get my oh so needed equipment.

you guys says whenfighting Irenicus you have to defeat a dragon a beholder a wraith and a sword. Is that during the combat with Irenicus? Cuz WHen I defeated him I cant recall he summoned them creatures. i remember thou that I had to fight them creatures in the 9 hells to get to irenicus. Or is this some sort of mod?

Improved Irenicus (Sola) and Improved Irenicus (Tactics) are one and the same - Weimer just moved alot of stuff to the tactics mod to separate it from the Solaufein romance. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I never saw the Ritual upgrade on Sola. And I found the hints readme file on the tactics mod but not the Sola mod.

Some of these thief abilities are a little quirky. For example, you might think that you can only hide in shadows when no enemies can see you ... but in fact it works when you can see no enemies, so a blind PC can hide in the middle of a firefight.

Devious thief players were able to harm Slayer-Irenicus with traps. Some reported setting the traps before Phase 2 of the battle, others game me the impression that they set them while Slayer-Irenicus was not on the screen.
