End of BG1 <spoilers inside...sorta>
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Ghetto Blasta
OK, I've FINALLY gotten to the end of BG1. All my characters are maxed out exp wise (and have been for quite some time  ) yet Sarevok and his lackeys still kick my ass. Everyone has protection from magic, and my warrior class people all have Cloud Giant Strength potions, and my Fighter/Theif and my Ranger both have Arrows of Detonation, Arrows of Ice, Poison Arrows, and Arrows of Piercing. Yet I still get torn up. Anyone have any suggestions for beating him? I'm about to go try using my wand of monster summoning a whoooole bunch of times making an army of wolves, hobgoblins and gnolls to see if that works. I'll report back when I finish.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I beat him in BG1 too ... I summoned a shitload of wolves, gnolls and skellies and made them meatshields - while I soften up Sarevok's lackeys from afar with my 2 archers and 2 mages ... and I just kept pouring it on and re-summoning, until there was only Sarevok left, and then I can concentrate all my party's efforts on him ...
He's not actually the one I had to worry about, but rather that half-ogre lackey of his that had high STR and high HP ...

Well that worked very well. All the summoned beasties killed tazok real quick, who attacked before I had even gotten to talk to Sarevok. Then I rushed Sarevok with all of the summoned things and the mage guy killed off Angelo by using area spells at point blank. Then I bum rushed Sarevok with everyone cept my theif who died From all the fireballs being cast. Used my wand of Ice and heavenly fire quite a bit. It got down to the Ranger (main) with like 8 hp left, and my Cleric/Fighter and my Druid. Sarevok decided to go for the Ranger, but instead got popped in the face with an Ice Arrow right before he could hit the Ranger and kill him.
BTW, what the hell was with that end movie. I couldn't figure out where that big hole with the statues came from, or why Sarevok's dust destroyed the statue of Bhaal.

That big hole is an underworld gallery - a gallery of Bhaal's progeny. All the statues you see lining up that chamber are the offspring of Bhaal - or more aptly called the Bhaalspawn... when Sarevok died, his dust didn't destroy Bhaal's statue - Sarevok's statue was the one that crumbled... you'll begin to get the picture as you see all the other statues lining up the chamber...
In BG1 you learn that you and Sarevok are both the children of Bhaal. Unbeknownst to both of you, you and him were just a very small part of the big picture - and when you killed Sarevok you only killed off one of Bhaal's numerous offspring - one of hundreds more that you will have to deal with as the Baldur's Gate series continues...
Now, play BG2 and your character's real destiny will begin to unfold ...

lol You sound like you wrote the description that would be on the back of the game. But that's basically the plan. BG2 is installing right now. But there's no way i'm using my character from BG1. No way no how. He sucked monkey butt. He's a ranger with a 14 con. Now that's ridiculous. I had intended to make a new character, but I was too lazy.  I plan to make a spell caster this time.

i liked playing a sorceress, but you do have to watch the hp.

Hehe, be prepared for one of the coolest-speaking RPG villains  Irenicus kicks ass...
And it's a much bigger game than BG1, so be prepared for all-nighters
Posted by: Ghetto Blasta
Prepared? My LIFE is an all-nighter!  I'm creating the char right now. I can't decide what Wizard school I want to specialize in though. I"m thinking cunjeration.

Bah, go general purpose mage! ... unless those extra spell slots really mean a lot to ya
Posted by: redwench
sorcerer dude. uberleet fun. ^^
Posted by: Canis Lupus
haha ... sorcerers are clerics in drag

I went with the Conjurer. Though I'll likely start again with a new character later.

What would it take to kill a djinn? I never confronted one in PnP so I don't know too much about them. I seriously doubt my puny band of level 8/9 people could take one simply because they're not even from the Prime Plane.
Posted by: redwench
not a major problem, but you can make it easier. if possible, stand out of his sight and cast a summoned near him. trigger hostile with your tank. keep casting a summoned and healing the tank until hes out of spells. then hes cake, assuming hes not dead already.
oh, yeah, keep your casters and any other low hp chars out of his range, which is quite large.
edit: are you refering to the djinn in the circus tent? if so, dont bother, hes unkillable. just answer the questions.

14 Con for your Ranger isn't that bad, but if that's your highest stat, then I suppose it is.
My first character in BG2 was a Paladin. Beat it that way and then went back as a Sorceror and finally a third time as an evil character, an Assassin. Lemme tell ya that playing evil was a whole different game. I was impressed by the amount of other responses to a lot of dialog trees that you never see as a good guy.
"What's that you got around your neck?"
*CRACK*
NPC dies.
Stuff like that is so cool. (Not snapping some guys neck, but just that they put in one option in the dialog tree for a very limited situation).

I wasn't referring to any paticular djinn. I ment in general, cause one would assume it'd be pretty hard to kill a djinn, see as how they are genies and all
But maybe they aren't as tough as I thought
Posted by: redwench
depends on the djinn. i use the term loosely, since i dont remember what specific name they all had, and they all look the same. the ones youre supposed to kill are challenging, but not horrendous. the ones youre not supposed to kill, i wouldnt even attempt.
Posted by: Ghetto Blasta
Yeah I opted not to attack the djinn in the circus tent. I prerfer to attack things that can be killed But I beat the poop out of the gnome.
