[SPOILERS] Toughest fight in BG?

Rikter · 03-07-2002, 05:13 PM

I'm just getting started on TotSC, having completed chapter 6 -
and asked a friend how much trouble he had with the final battle
in BG1.

He said that Sarevok and co. didn't pose too much of a problem, and that IHHO the toughest fight in the game was the mage gang in the Iron Throne HQ.

I had trouble with that one, but I think I had more grief with the basilisks out east, 'cause I didn't have gaze reflection or potions of mirrored eyes. Many, many reloads.

What fight in BG1, including TotSC, would you say is the hardest to beat?

I'd have to say either baldurans ship with the wolfweres, the first fight with the zealots at Ulgoths Beard after completing Durlags or Aec'Letec.

So all the toughest fights are still ahead of me?
That's wonderful. :/

I totally agree with Downunda in his choice of battles as being the toughest in the game. When it comes to battles TotSC seems to rule. However, I think the battle in Iron Throne was the best battle in the regular BG story line. It really forced me to think out my tactics. I must have reloaded 5 times before I got something to work out.

Ditto...I tried it a half-dozen times with Dynagirl's spells
pretty much exhausted, then I snapped and spent eight hours
at the Blade and Star before coming back. Roared in with haste,
prayer, protection from evil 10' and lots of oil of fiery burning.

It was brutal. I think among the six of us we took maybe 30 points
of damage before annihilating them all. It's mighty hard to concentrate when Coran's pounding ice arrows into your AC5 heiney.

A think the demon.knight is a tough guy as well. and that house in baldurs gate, with a guy tha gives you the task to fecth a helm of balduran, is hard as shit!
But Sarevok is also very hard, with the traps on the floor and all

I dont own TOTSC.. I should say it was some random battle against pack of wolves with first or second level characters. But if you leave those kind of things out..

First, the fight at IT´s 4th level was quite easy in my books. Most difficult could have been meeting Davaeorn. My missile gang was helpless, and he had some good defensive spells to put in use. Another challenging battles that comes to mind... Mulahey (and his skeletons), coronation, house full of "you know what" in BG, headhunters from Zhentarim in the end, and two skeleton warriors in thieves maze.

Honestly, Sarevok could have been more difficult, like most of headhunter gangs.

IMHO The 4 warders in Durlags were one of the toughest to beat - lots of reloads for that one.

Lavindathar · 03-09-2002, 12:22 PM

I used to think the warders was the hardest, but I'll go with the Wolfwere fight on Balduran's ship.

david_m11 · 03-09-2002, 02:16 PM

I suppose the biggest influence to saying which battle was the toughest is at what level your party were at when you actually had the fight.
