GOOD FREAKIN GREIF......

I am at the end of the game and it is unreal. I have never seen anything so hard in all of my life. I cant kill Irenicus to save my soul. (no pun intended there) My group consists of Minsc, Koragan, Nalia, Imeon, Aerie and me which is a druid. My main character basically sucks. Anyway I am not high enough level to have the spell Simicularm (sp) and I try to use like Breach and stuff but Irenicus stops my spell. I have to turn into the Slayer just so I can kill the demons. Please someone help me.
Thanks

SPOILER

Remove magic on Irenicus, or just use non magical weapons. He really likes spells like Mantle and such, that protect from magical weapons, but the rules don't allow protection from non magical weapons at the same time. I assume that is the problem you are having.

He cannot be, because he mentioned Demons, so that means that he is in the Nine Hells now.

dogg92, summon 5 summons like Fire Elementals, Aerial Servants, Skeleton Warriors and/or Mountain Bears. Do this before you summon Jon Irenicus.

Cast the following spells on your party as well, Resist/Remove Fear, Protection from Evil 10' Radius, Haste, True Sight, Stoneskins, Ironskins, etc... ...

Sip your favourite beverage, summon Jon Irenicus and get ready to rumble. The purpose of your summons are to distract and if possible, destroy the Demons. Your party meanwhile, should concentrate on Jon Irenicus.

True Sight will remove any illusions that Jon Irenicus may have, and when he retreats to the bottom of the map, chase after him. Cast spell counters like Ruby Ray of Reversal and Khelben's Warding Whip to remove most if not all of his spell protections. While your Fighters wail away on Jon Irenicus, get Nalia, Imoen and Aerie to repeatedly cast Breach, Lower Resistance and more Khelben's Warding Whips. After he has been hit by 3-4 Lower Resistances, they can start firing offensive spells as well. You meanwhile should cast Insect Plague and Creeping Doom on Jon Irenicus.

Oh, and maintain 5 summons at all times.

Hope this helps. [img]smile.gif[/img]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A little lesson on the following spells by the way, all of them have the same duration, four rounds. None of these spells can be stacked in any combination.

Protection from Normal Weapons: Protects the Mage from normal weaponary. Any weapon of +1 enchantment or better can bypass this spell.

Protection from Magical Weapons: Protects the Mage from magical weapons. Only normal weaponary can bypass this spell.

Mantle: Protects the Mage from normal, +1 and +2 weaponary. Any weapon of +3 enchantment or better can bypass this spell.

Improved Mantle: Protects the Mage from normal, +1, +2 and +3 weaponary. Any weapon of +4 enchantment or better can bypass this spell.

Absolute Immunity: Protects the Mage from normal, +1, +2, +3 and +4 weaponary. Any weapon of +5 enchantment or better can bypass this spell.

1. Cast Simulacrum on both Nalia and Imoen. (Now you have 4 mages!)
(Oh, I just noticed that you are not high enough to have the level 8 spell Simulacrum? How'd you manage this? Skip a lot of the quests? OK. It's still do-able without it.)


2. Summon the 5 best monsters you have available. Use these monsters to attack all 4 of Jon's demon allies SIMULTANEOUSLY. Their job is to keep the demons occupied.

3. Cast all of the standard buffing spells on your party. Stoneskin for the mages, Iron skin for Jahiera and your PC. Bless, barkskin. Drink the various fighter buffing potions. Cast Haste on the party.

4. Move the summoned monsters up to the area where Jon and his demon allies will teleport in.

5. Start the sequence that will start the battle.

6. Engage Jon with your best tank. Use your mages to cast breeching spells on Jon as necessary. Engage the demon allies with other tanks, along with your own summoned monsters. You don't need to focus on only one at a time. You have enough firepower to take them ALL down at once. Have your mages fire off magic missiles, etc. to support the attacks on the demons. However, always be ready to cast those breeching spells on Jon if he tries casting protection magics. Once you've wiped out the demon allies, Jon's existance can be measured in seconds. Throw everything at Jon and he'll go down shortly.

I lost everyone and raised Valygar 7 times and eventually Irenicus ran out of spells and it was him vs my necromancer. I ran around getting chased for a whlile then got bored and turned into the slayer. I pretty much slaughtered him in about a minute then. Only Amomen was lost permantly cause he got blown up pretty bad. I won that battle 1st time.

The end is not as hard as it seems. If you have haste throw that on the party before you open the door. Have one char with a bow fire at the demons and at Slayer Irenicus. And get the other party members to the other side of the hell dungeon. The archer will fall but dont worry

The guy will be Raised after you kill Slayer Irenicus. Then wait a long time.
Then cast a summon spell. Irenicus will notice this and leave his party of Demons and cast a death spell on the creature. Then while you are hasted(or if not) shapeshift to slayer and KICK HIS ASS!!
=) Thats how I did it HeHe

If you have ToB installed then this fight is easy lol. I mean if you do every quest like i did its rather simple. Frankly i think you should do every quest anyway because otherwise you miss out on some scrumptuous items.
But the way i did it.
Keldorn Summons a Deva
Jaheria Summoned an Elemental Prince
Anomen used those dodgy spin blade things.

And then i just sat back and watched my summoned killers mince the demons and then absorb all the spells from irenicus. Then i killed him.

In fact once you get ToB installed all of SoA is easy. bit silly in my opinion

buy a couple of portection from magic scrolls, and let his spells run out on you. then, when he cant even summon a familiar, smash him into oblivion with the rest of your party. this should work. protection from magic is a MUST on all of my characters christmas lists, particuarly when im soloing a non sorceror.
