As far as I know, he does not have Imprisonment, he uses Maze though.

Maze and Symbols can bypass the cloak. The cloak also does not protect against indirect area of effect spells.

Dear All

This has been a great journey and the best game I have ever played

BUT

I can not kill Irenicous in the final show down

I have killed all the parasits feeding off the tree of life and have listened many times to his chit chat with his "old flame" but although he deserves to die I can not quite put him out of his misery.

Please help with your thoughts

I have tried turning into the monster. Notably this is the first time I have resorted to this.

I have tried timestops , breach, power word everthing and he is immune

HELP

look man

battle against mage is all about who has guts, there is not perfect set up to protect you against all the spells. because most of dispelling magic can take away many protections you have on, and that left you re-cast them over and over, so bullshit, screw it

since Jon start the combat with a chain contigency spell, it is not likely he will attack you first. so cast Sim, have the copied image through a sunfire (or chaos sphere)

then the second round, cast incrediant cloud, have the sim cast dispel

by this time, Jon probally attemp some fancy spell or time stop,

if it is a time stop, good luck

if it is not, just have your sim go in, and keep bombard him with sunfires, while at the same time, you start dispelling Jon

chaos sphere and incrediant cloud are two hella effective spell, they might kill jon before you dispel anything, so you have the edge in this fight

remember: have guts whenyou fight wizard [img]smile.gif[/img]

I also had a hard time killing Irenicus but I came with a solution that was soooo easy I almost couldnt believe it (even easiest than the ones posted above). You have to be able to turn into a steel golem, though (via limited wish, or other spell).

1. Pause game inmediatly after Irenicus becomes hostile

2. Take all your npcs out of there fast

3. Turn yourself into Steel Golem

4. Watch and laugh while Irenicus wastes all his spells with you blocked by your 100% MR

5. Through 2 cloudkills or just pounce him to death and kill the bastard

6. Done!

7. Even better, this works with any other mainly magic user foe too!!!

You turned into a steel golem??? Tell me more...

Hmmm... dont know exactly what you mean but if you are a mage and have the limited wish spell, there is an option that is "I want to change myself into anything I want" or something like that (I dont know for sure because I have the spanish version).

If you select it in the special abilites you can turn into a steel golem, or that thing that sucks brains in the drow area (desuellamentes in spanish), or some other things that you normally cant. The olny hitch is that I think it was a wish you could only ask once, but that may change in the 9th level wish anyways.

Wow, I'd never tried that, those "once only" wishes where always ones i was "gunna use later"...thats pretty cool, if i ever get to a tough battle i might use it!

Easiest way to kill Jon is:

Spell Trigger with 3 x Flame Arrow

Just pause game before he gets all protections up and use it. He dies instantly and can't do a single thing.
