Hardest enemy

Remove all ads!

Yeah, I was just wondering what are the hardest and largest enemies in the game?

 

Graxx, (spelling?) and those adamantium golems (not really hard, just a pain in the ass)

Kangaxx is who you mean.
I still haven't defeatedhim and I'm level 19 right now!
Though I have to say the last time I tried was level 16 and I didn't know what to do against his imprisonment, but now I do.

I'm just in Suldanesselar and I found out that (Powergamers only!) crom fayer doesn't work on Adamantite Golems! You'll have to kill them with very good weapons, and that's hard, so I think they are almost the toughest enemies there are...
Firkraag was a piece o' cake

 

Those demon knights guarding that piece of crom fayer were pretty tough. Took me ages until I killed them.
And since you're wondering about the largest enemy, I take it you haven't come across any of the dragons yet. Those would be the biggest.

For first me it was the Ms.Thanxxx the shadow-dragon [(a)I think she´s a girl; (b) didn´t know the receipe against level-drain then - 1.time through)] until I met Mr.Firekraag soon after.

Doing the twisted rune fight was tough (Beholder/ Vampire/ Lich/ Mage IIRC) but good fun anyway.

The Kangaxx-Series was tough - especially Mr. Kangaxx himself. Doing the beholder dungeon in the unseeing eye quest without shield of Balduran or cloak of mirroring was thougn either.

 

the largest are obiously dragons.

liches are usually hard.

but for me firkragg was the hardest battle because i was over-confident when i first met him and had to fight him and his mage-servant together. later on, the other dragons were easier.

 

Irenicus.

Straight Gaming, Core Rules, 5 party members.

 

Actually I was bit disappointed in Irenicus. The final battle.. guy was a wuss. There are lot tougher enemies around.

Such as.. Bodhi co since I didn't have no protection from level drain. Or that one guy in the Nalia's keep.. can't remember the name. ex-guard who had switched sides. Since my party was low level and the guy had a sixpack of potions which made him very strong. No spells from him, but each blow was over 20 damage. When my maincharacter had 40 HP - it was not fun at all. Had to load it several times, since the guy killed my members so fast I didn't have time to backoff and heal myself. But he wasn't big though.. a normal man.

 

For me this last time through it was the Black Dragon. Twice he forced me to retreat out of his space by using his "Black Dragon Breath", which acts like a Miscast Magic, except with lots of continuous damage. Since he nailed all the magic throwers there was noone left to cast Dispel...

It huuurrtt...
Then when coming back into finish the battle he's waiting right at the door, making for a party all jammed in together right at the door way, where any of his attacks caught everyone again. If it wasn't for the summoned earth elemental behind him laying a 50 point smack on him, we would have all been goners.

Weird because he hadn't done that in my 3 previous trips to visit him.

 

Gaxx.

I couldn't get this only one until I returned from Drow city.

 

Beggars can be NASTY when cornered.

But seriously. I am not quite done the game yet, but the harderst foe I have had to deal with so far are those spectral harpers. NOTHING seems to hit them.

 

I totally agree about Irenicus - The shadow dragon took me about six attempts, but at the end, I best him second time.

Ooh yeah - those beggers could get pretty nasty

And that bloke who chucks a scimitar at your head in the docks district?? What is he on??

 

Kangaxx's second form is a pain, I still have not beaten him. Stupid imprisonment spells.

Multiple mindflayers are a pain too.

 

Hrmm.. I think Kangaxx was about the only guy I DIDN'T fight... beginning to regret it though :/ I couldn't find all those lich locations. Hardest? Those bloody mindflayers. Beholders suck. Those mindflayers could kill with one hit, I don't even know what it was. Psionic Blast?

 

they drain your intelligence, and most fighters have low int, so........world of pain

and if your int reaches 0, you're dead

They attach those tentacles to your skull and devour your brain. Not a nice way to go...

 

chaotic commands grants immunity from psionics and then any sensible number o' illithids is quite effortlessly taken out by couple o' fighters with ranged weapons (crossbow of speed +1 or tuigan bow were the ones for me)...
as for the mindflayer dungeon in the underdark, namely the room with a lot of flayers and some umberhulks - if ye had a cleric from the beginning, he shall be able to gate in a fiend AND cast chaotic commands on it (dun' forget to protect all o' yer people from evil) - the monster will take out flayers in a blink, they wouldnt' even damage it

 

Disintergrate works a treet on the Umberhulks - especially considering they carry no items.

 

the demi lich is the most dangrous enemy in the game( since he can cast imprisoment once every round for any number of times). it took me a long time to come up with a tatic that can deafeat it. not to mention the battle in the twisted rune tower.

 

"And if your int reaches 0, you're dead" ...Ahah! That's why Minsc would die so quickly against those Mind Flayers!
