    [​IMG] Getting to Yux was the hardest bit for me. It was almost enough for me to want snakes exterminated ;) . apart from that, Belhefit on HoF mode, that was a bit of a struggle when I finally got through it all.
    For some reason the dragon in HoW has always been really easy for me no matter the difficulty level it's been on.

    The dragon was bad joke after mighty dragons in BG2. Does it even have magic resistance? (I killed it with Magic missiles, and no, I didn't use Lower resistance) :rolleyes:

    I'd have to say the hardest battle is the one with the LureMaster and his friends. Belhifet is easy in comparison.

    I was forced to cheat in the lastest run-through where I encountered some wierd bug - Belhifet's friends went down quickly enough and I reduced the big bad dude to near-death - where he stayed. After beating on him for 10 minutes (he wasn't even fighting back) I got bored and CRTL-Y'd him, which worked, surprisingly.

    Yeah, Behifet was definitely the hardest. The first time around for me though, Yux was pretty easy. I gave my thief +2 arrows, shot, retreated, shot, retreated, and that took care of her. Maiden Ilmadia was tough. Stupid Fire giants. Stupid mages! Everything after that, with the exception of those mages in front of the inn on HoW, was easy.

    Belhifet, was the hardest..

    Yxunomei the easiest, had her pushing up the daisies within 5 seconds.. a massive chain of critical hits .. no cheating, me no does that

    Yxonomei was really hard the first time I played the game, now I've developed...tactics.
    Belhifet wasn't that bad at all....I actually think I had the most trouble at the beggining of the game when my characters are really weak and you have to kill a bunch of orcs; that was embarrising to admit...

    Come to think of it, once youplay it again, and use some bettertactics, Yux was as easy as a goblin.

    the final boss (can't remember the name) was the hardest. he dispelled all my magic enhancements at the beginning of the battle.

    Now, you guys, don't forget that it's all the fault of those blasted demons for making IWD2 possible! I'd have to say my toughest was Ilmadia, which is kind of ironic, seeming how she was the mother of Isair and Madae and all... (hehe)
