    [​IMG] Ok, I am fighting Irenicus, After the Elven Villige. My party is this...

    Main Cha- LvL 19 fighter, Celestial Fury and Katana +2-Shadow Dragon scales :D
    Minsc- LvL 17 Ranger, Sliver sword, doomplate
    Keldorn- LvL 16 Paliden, Holy Avenger,-red dragon scales
    Anemen- Level 7/16 Fighter/Cleric, Crom Faeyr-ankheg plate mail
    Imoen- LvL 7/14 Theif/Mage, Elven Chain +4, Genson Bow
    Aerie- LvL 13/14 Mage/Cleric- Sling +2, and Elven Chain.

    that is my party. I have tried to beat Irenicus so many times it is not funny. I try useing Spell Strike, Breach, Peirce Magic and even Ruby Rey, but NONE of them will work. He still has those protection spells. Can anyone offer me some help.

    I don't know how much help this is but ......... when I fought him I had prepared a huge army of summoned creatures, elementals etc and cast all manner of preparations on my party. He took them all down in no time, but then he ran out of spells, so all I had to do was run away and wait for his protections to go down and then get Korgan (the only survivor apart from me) to beat him up.

    ive done it a few times, and usually all it takes me a few breaches and a ruby...
    oh and try the breach first, i cant remember if he uses the spell aboslute immunity, but if he does and your casting ruby on him it will fail unless you breach the spell first.

    before the fight just make sure you have as many Breach, Pierce Magic and Secret Word spells... and possibly some Ruby Rays of Reversal. Just keeping knocking down those Spell protections... saving pierce magic for some of the higher protections... Pierce Magic also lowers Irenicus' spell resistance... so start firing Magic Missile spells at him as long as he has no large spell protects still up.

    and just hack at him... don't worry about deaths in your party... they'll be back...

    I have to agree with all the other guys Khelben's Warding Whip is probably the best spell to remove magic protections. Mainly 'cos it removes a protection every round.

    I followed Ironbeards tactic. I did the same in Suldenessellar as well. I couldn't beat him any other way. I also didn't realize that ***spoiler*** turning into the Slayer was a bad idea in the final fight.
