Fighting Ansur to this was one of the best experiences ever. Such an intimidating beast that me and my party felt so outmatched by, but we held our own, and against all those electifying odds, survived.

[@BruceWayne-fj9bm]

I beat the crap out of him, dipped while he was charging his mega spell into the hallway before the fight, closed the doors, waited for him to finish the spell and then came out and beat him up again 😂😂😂

[@guanonline]

lol technically I could've ended him before he even took his first flight but I missed a beat and he died mid-air. He was so easy by the time I faced him.

[@karankenZ]

Yea by the time I faced him it felt like I was overleveled and killed him in one turn

[@backpack_hermit25]

Oh shit, that's actually so clever. I struggled against the fight like hell and then gave up and resorted to save scumming. Having a team of 2 spellcasters and a cleric with one martial fighter was a mistake. And to make matters worse, Ansur didn't care at all about Karlach, just targetted my bard-sorcerer Tav and Gale the whole time.@@BruceWayne-fj9bm

[@wiej007]

I know wright? It was both epic and tragic knowing the story of this noble dragon. And emocions when he was charging his power during flight. That was moment when all mine party members stacked next to one crystal and tried destroy it so they would gain some resistance from it. During 2nd try I killed him during flight but I cant say it was easy.

[@sgt.squeegee1720]

This has the leitmotif of the 2002 Dark Alliance main theme in it, as well as echoes of BG 1 and 2. So amazing!

[@darkblur101]

3:30 onwards is just beautiful. Got goosebumps, this entire ost is just perfection:)

[@Sacred_Korok69]

This Part also always gets me every single goddamn time

[@bowenmadden6122]

I ended the Ansur fight by landing 3 divine smites in a row, and the music jumped to these vocals, which I think is a good melancholy note to end the legend of Ansur to. :( It was like, my Tav's desperation to survive clashed with Ansur's nobility, as a heroic dragon with justification in seeking revenge against Balduran & my very enemies, the mind flayers! I always want to settle things diplomatically and can't imagine my Tav enjoys combat, yet *I* was the final nail in the coffin, ending what was meant to be the salvation of the city. In the end, it's as my Tav always says, "survival is all that matters!" :(( I must carry on the will of Ansur. The Emperor shall fall, and Orpheus will rise in his place. Surely *these* conses won't quence! >:P
