    [​IMG] Is it:
    Baldur's Gate
    Tales of the Swords Coast
    Shadows of Amn
    Throne of Bhaal
    Icewind Dale
    Heart of Winter
    Trials of the Luremaster
    Planescape:Torment(almost forgot that one!)

    Personally I think Throne of Bhaal has the hardest boss, cause *SPOILER EDITED OUT*!

    Icewind Dale I think has the weakest boss, cause it only took my Paladin a few hacks with the Pale Justice 2 dice ol' Belhifet :D!

    Topic moved to Whatnots.

    As for the hardest boss... I'd say the original Baldur's Gate. I had the most trouble with Sarevok.

    I never played IWD expansions. Nor ToB.

    But I have to agree with Tal if I speak about the rest games. Sarevok definetly.

    yeah, Sarevok was a total pain in the a**, but I think Belhiphet was pretty tough as well, but then again, it was mostly due to the dispell traps that where everywhere. But Sarevok is indeed nr.1 on the list

    Icewind Dale's easily. His name escapes me though.

    If for totsc you mean the demon in ulgoths beard then i would have to say that that one was the hardest. It kept summoning his monks and the demon himself was able to death gaze which nearly always killed my non lead characters.

    I never had trouble with any of the bosses in BG or BG2, Sarevok was pretty easy to defeat and Irenicus was even easier. I am currently playing ToB, but didn't finish it yet, so I don't know how difficult the boss is and I never played the other games on your list. (Not yet that is)

    I think they can make the bosses a little more difficult, so that they are more of a challange.

    Yeah, the Tan'nari at the end of TotSC was pretty tough for me until I realized what kept turning me into a Ghast :). The Heros at the end of TotLM were pretty tough for me as well, but I went straight to it from just before the end of IWD, so didn't have a lot of the more powerful spells and levels I could have gotten by playing through HoW.

    [​IMG] I have only played BG and BG2 but among them sarevok is a hell of alot tougher than Irenicus. Irenicus is wuss i have never had any problems with him i beat him the first time i tried without any reloads and preparation. Sarevok on the other hand was a pain in the *ss i took him out on the 10th try and it was pure luck. My main character had like 5hp left and all of Sarevoks henchmen were still living when Sarevok died.

    ToB definitely. Even Irenicus needed only to be killed twice...

    Has to be Sarevok, although BG1 was the first game of that type I had ever played so I guess I've learned a couple of new tricks since then. But still you were so low level that it didn't take that much to kill you and you also had that other guy there, that could easily kill you with one blow.

    actually Sarevok was also a pain in the ass but most people summoned hords of creatures to keep him buzy, still, slaying those elemental princes was anoying

    Fine! I'm a dork! I cannot beat IWD. I dunno, none of my weapons deal any damage whatsoever, so I'd say that IWD was the hardest for me. I thought Sarevok was tough, but I didn't know how to utilize many of the spells in BG2 until my second time through, so beating Irenicus in Suldenesselar was nearly impossible and took me two weeks. I didn't even know what Ruby Ray or Kehlben's Warding Whip were, so...

    For his level Sarevok and his cronies in the original Baldurs Gate were the hardest.
    I've only just started Icewind Dale so I haven't got to Belhifet yet, I'm in the temple level of Dragons Eye and I find it the most irritating part of the game, how are you supposed to be beat swarms of priests trolls and lizardmen?!

    Those Skeleton Warriors in the original BG were pretty damn tough. They weren't bosses, but I had more trouble with them than Sarevok. The first two I ran into in the city of Baldur's Gate wiped out my party like nothing.

    The first step of the journey is the most difficult, or so they say. Sarevok in BG was real tough to beat, and it took me 2 days to figure out that summoning cannonfodder was a great way of distracting him.
