I DID IT!!!!! - Page 2

SixOfSpades · 12-14-2001, 01:14 PM

The tourists indeed would have been burnt to crispy critters by my Arrows, and I couldn't have that, especially since my PC is a Paladin. So I charmed them & sent 'em to opposite ends of the floor, well out of danger from me. I also moved Ike out of the blast radius, but still close by, so whoever talked to him (my Druid) to summon the Demonknight could get back into the fight quickly. I did have to whack the skeleton, though, as his presence would have wasted at least 1 Skull Trap. The Demonknight's Fireballs don't always go off "in the same place," they always go off near the Tourists, even if the tourists are on the other side of a wall, or indeed on the other side of the world. It's a script thing. It was the Demonknight who killed Ike & the Tourists, not me. (Notice I didn't get any EXP from either of the Deaths in the bottom screenshot.)

So what? I killed Ulraunt now THAT was hard. I must admit your strategy was great but still it was just lots of explosions Ulraunt was a trip and a half he has soooo many hitpoints.

SixOfSpades · 12-14-2001, 05:38 PM

I actually thought Ulraunt was pretty easy, myself--then again, I think I had 3 or 4 Warrior types, so I had a really good THAC0. A few Potions of Absorbtion & my guys were set for a melee. You're right about the hitpoints, though.

Elminster, on the other hand...... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Great screenshots SixOfSpades !! The fireballs one is really impressive, thats a warm welcome indeed

About Shandalar, i killed him some times, one of them with my solo cleric/illusionist. I cant remember what strategies i used to follow though, but i remember that you have to do it quickly or he teleports himself away. Hes worth... SPOILER

Congrats SixOfSpades! I'll keep this thread in mind when it is my turn to have a go [img]smile.gif[/img]

Someone needs to kill ELMINSTER and then show me the screenshots, that would be cool. I dont think there is anywhere that you actually can attack elminster, without him leaving, but im not sure.

There is no Eliminster death animation if you were to kill Eli the game would crash when it couldn't find the graphic.
That happened to be when I tried to make a Halfing mage no graphic and crash. Then again his corpse simply may not appear.

REALLY? Oh, great, I just finished off the Demonknight (He was still alive in the basement, just like I thought) and now I have to go off on ANOTHER crusade? Jeez.

The main problem with getting the Demonknight and Shandalar to actually DIE is to get them before they vanish--the main difference being that the Demonknight takes damage. But (as far as I know, anyway) the only way to even TOUCH Shandalar is a Critical Hit. I once performed a Critical Quadruple Backstab resulting in 144 Damage, and I suppose if I got lucky enough, I could pull one off on Shandalar, but I notice that both he and the Demonknight seem to be able to limit the damage they take. Look at the screenshots: There are quite a few demonkight- Damage Taken (2)s in there. Considering I was pelting him with nothing but Arrows of Detonation (6D6, with Save for half) and a Wand of the Heavens (8D8? with Save for half), how the heck is he taking only *2* Damage? Answer: By cheating, and I think Shandalar does the same thing. But if you say you've beaten him, well......ah, heck, I'll do it NEXT game.

P.S. Who says you need to kill him to get those scrolls? He's got 2 Potions of Heroism, too, as if I cared. [img]smile.gif[/img]

SPOILERS ABOUT SHANDALAR
-

-
-
- Im not sure because i havent played for some time, but i think Shandalar doesnt take too much damage because he has some kind of protection. Anyway, what id do first is cast dispel magic. I also remember that i used to summon lots of minions to keep him worried, and attack him with ranged weapons.

Oh, and he casts From Flesh to Stone, so be prepared for that [img]smile.gif[/img] .
