    Tanova and Mencar Pebblecrusher, et al., caused us the most re-loads.

    Kangaxx was the only beastie I could not kill even with all of the tips and tricks available here and elsewhere. I finally quit trying and just stole his useful item.

    Of course, we all know that the most difficult battle is with Arkanis Gath, hands down. ;) :p

    The wolfweres in Windspear Hills. One time. Because of that bug where you rest and it begins stacking their regeneration abilities. :mad: 6 level 20 characters, all dead in about 1 minute. Sob, sob... :(

    At first glance,Firkraag seems hard(chapter 2) but i must say that Tanova(it's good to see that i am not the only one who couldn't defeat her at first time :) ) and Kangaxx is hard.
    But Kangaxx is very easy in ToB,his demilich form is worth a red-dragon fire breath
    If anyone is stuck in Kangaxx i suggest berserking Minsc and moving others out of his sight and uing Slayer Change(never used it but it protects from being imprisoned)also the collars you get from Mind Flayer dungeon in Underdark works well with Kangaxx.

    Solaufein Mod -> Undead Solaufein(when bodhi abducts him,regardless of romance)
    Buffs:
    Invisible,stoneskinned,protected from magic energy,blurred,dual fire shields,spell shield,triple spell immunity(divination,invocation/evocation,necromancy),some others
    Fighting power: Ancient Vampire (immune to normal,+1,+2 weapons,very fast regenaration)
    His attack drains 5 lvls and causes death(save or die)
    Has the spell defences of a lich[immune to spell lvls 1-5(no breach!)]
    And as a drow,he keeps his 89% magic resistance..
    Did I mention he uses timestop and then attacks you? And that he ate Drizzt,the paladins&the assassins for breakfast?

    Demiliches? Ha!

    The only really easy way of killing him is to turn him..but the cleric needs to be lvl 22+..and if you have viccy and romanced her you're screwed(bodhi gets her too)

    cheers

    [​IMG] Well my main guy is a Undead Hunter which gives me a big advantage against Vampires and Liches and such. Immunity to 90% of what they do, level drain, hold etc...

    I would say high level mages in groups are a pain, but I suspect Dragons will be the toughest once I take one on.

    Beholders are so easy when you have the shield of Baulduran. ;)

    They probably are not what I would call the "hardest" monsters in the game, but I always get spanked by the halfling group in planar sphere (contains some stupid mages, one of them has Crom gaunts) - maybe that is because I do not use "cloudkill cheese"? They cast hold, charm, silence and various annoying spells, and at that time my party is not terribly high lvl so save vs. spells is that much harder to make.

    Tanova - ? who is that?

    Wolfwere's in the Windspear hills. Note, it's a plural. All I can say, I had more powers than mere SoA allows, and my character was almost solo. Very strong, very powerful. I went in with my ego high, I was sure I'd kill these little puppies just as easily as I could kill adamantine golems etc. And I died within a very short time. I reloaded, went at it again, and again I died. Again, and still I died. Until I realised I needed to take the most advanced spells I had to inflict 100-200 points of damage within the same one second to beat their sick regeneration.

    Tanova? He's with that group in the very first area (Waukeens Promenade) upstairs in one of the inns.

    Since it's the first battle most people confront against enemies that can actually fight back (back stab, mage spells) it makes it a little tough.

    Aces: you're thinking some wizard who's in the party with Pebblecrusher, Orcslicer, and Pooky.

    Tanova is a powerful Vampire - one with 16 or so level in mage. You encounter her in the fight with Bodhi (the last one, if I'm not mistaken.)

    Ah, that is Tanova... my cure ->
    Paladin with Carsomyr + Prot. from magic + Chaotic Commands (not sure if needed actually...)... go there and tank Tanova. Sneek up with a mage and Breach... usually works. The dispel property of Carsomyr is pretty unfair... if I don't have a pally then I usually summon some cannon fodder... but yeah Tanova can be tough.

    Kangaxx, i went there early though, right after the beholder cult quest. Mine's a solo Swashie.

    I can take out his early form with traps but cant when he has changed, coz he dont move!! :mad:

    Besides there's no early +4 weapon. I cant even scratch him...
