Toughest battle?

Skunk · 09-15-2001, 06:57 AM

Strangely enough, I didn't find the final battle that hard.
The 'Twisted Rune' battle on the other hand was, for me, the only battle that I had to reload on around 7 seven times to figure out a tactic that worked.

What does everyone else think?

Twisted rune wasen't that hard for me... I set traps to kill the lich and then just drew the other out 1 by one. My personal pet hate is the um... 'green' dragon just before entering the final area... that is a nasty fight (I really hate insect plague).

Which one is the rune battle, I can't remeber it?
One of the hardest bits i found was the mind flayer lair.
You could sya it isn't a single battle but you have to fight for every inch you move

If you don't remember the twisted rune, you propably haven't done it. It's a sort of secret battle.

In the bridge district, close to the man in red who burry people alive, there are two locked door. One is pickable, the other is not.
If you have a rouge-stone though, you may enter the door... and there...

For my solo druid:

The hardest battles were easily the group in the Promanade, at the start of the game and Fikraag (at level 13

)

Very difficult, many realods needed!

Now he comfortably wooping ass in ToB

I have to agree with the people that said the Twisted Rune was the toughest battle. Also, the inner sanctum of the Unseeing Eye is near impossible unless you have a cloak of reflection/mirroring or you do it later on in the game when your guys are higher level.

I pulled off the unseeing eye quest with all my characters from lvl 8-10. At first I felt bad about cheesing out on the gauths, but the gauths also cheat: while they are held by my web they can still use their ranged attack. So I just webbed, and cloudkilled em, with a few fireballs thrown in. As for the few beholders, I just rushed em with my kensai and monk and they didn't last long. But I admit to about a dozen reloads
