The amount of knowledge used to do this..few can imagine.

Ok, i did IT many times but how come : -lich did not trigger -snares killed 2 of them from afar

[@0Dimetrius0]

There should have been a dialogue and therefore the traps did not work on the blue circle, the lich was spammed with damage and he did not have time to teleport to the traps.

[@0Dimetrius0]

Revised it. The Lich blushed, but was far away from the traps.

I also have a thief named cyhthia. She's a shadowdancer. I am High

A powerful lich or Some assassin with scroll of protection from undead

[@alundor]

What's the reason why the vampire at the end was not defending herself? not even 1 attack done to CHARNAME

[@OdivmNostrvm]

The reason is scroll of protection from undead read at the beginning of fight

Its a very Insane difficult quest, many players can't continue this on full part members, not solo!

[@JinrohDFLL]

Nicely done. Now I'm hardly an expert but Twisted Rune is quite easy for experienced BGer. My take: F/T, about 9/8 iirc. Hide in shadow, aggro Shangalar and retreat back to the small room. He'll teleport to pursue. 3 traps are already on the spot, oops. If he doesn't die, backstab will do the job (this happens in less than one round so I'm still in shadow). The rest, I finish them one by one with the backstab and retreat routine. Don't worry about time stop... If you aren't spotted it's harmless. But yea this video does it much faster so it's cool. My point is, alot of the so called hard fights can be easily exploited without cheating. Firkragg? Forget all the jibba jabba - rigid thinking and whack away.

[@Crazmuss]

That is because you play on easy (ie stratagems not installed). In my playthrough they summon planetar ant pit fiend and constantly use absolute imunity, stoneskin, truesight, spell protections and dispells. They also use timestop+energy blades combo.

[@VexVane]

​@@Crazmuss SCS does not make it more difficult, it just makes some fights take slightly longer. AI is still stupid and easily exploitable. If they want to make game HARDER then they need to improve AI significantly and not just change mage enemies to use predefined cheese combos which you learn after seeing them all do 100% same thing, 100% of the time, in exact same order. By same measure LOB difficulty also does not make it more difficult, unless you want to play non-caster solo, it simply makes fights take longer due to more HP to take out. So dont make it sound like SCS is some Pro version, as it is not. Ascension on the other hand does make game significantly more difficult, but for all the wrong reasons as it makes it be more like IWD and less like BG. Now if you combine Ascension, SCS and LOB you can talk about other modes being easy in comparison, but just SCS, lol, no.

[@sayerslayer1854]

@@VexVane lol maybe SCS is hard for some people. Be nice. Not everyone is as smart and handsome as you

[@180doman]

For me its quite insane that assassin can only spend 1 point for each weapon. I changed this in files to 4 and 3 for daggers and short swords and, oh man, backstabbing was pure fun through entire game!

[@I_am_a_Card]

Now cheating is fan, oh my

[@RokstedyMorgan]

Is this SCS mages? I thought they would all insta cast PfMW. What level your assassin in this battle?

[@OdivmNostrvm]

Rokstedy La Brea assassin level 16. You can see it at the beginning of video

no scs here ... simple abusing(vanilla)

nice..

[@klaudiom.5878]

you could'nt hit that vampire for shit..

[@ДанилМуромец-п1ь]

Yeeep. When i sow all of this cool solo boss kills, i decide to try solo sorc run.... In ee.... And when i realize that i can't lern per lvl time stop, wish etc,my game was fucked. Ok guys try fore dificult on ee, whitout wishes and time stops. Its all bullshit

[@anatolej.deletch6321]

It's possible when you know what's up. Although it's harder when you begin new game in BG2 without importing, especially mage or bard. Level lower, lower stats (there are tomes to increase stats in first game) and much fewer spells at the beginning. Bard has not enough level even for 4 level spell Stoneskin at the beginning, which is pretty crucial for spellcaster survival, especially Blade, who tend to rule melee combat with spell buffs. One way to get higher level without using any editors is to create char in Throne of Bhaal and import it to Shadows of Amn. But then your level will be much higher than it had to be after first game. Higher level - stronger enemies.

[@TheMelnTeam]

@@anatolej.deletch6321 If you're min xp for starting BG2, pickpocket spree can really help get you off the ground. If you're a bard, you can do it yourself. If you are a mage and want to adhere to "solo", it's going to be more of a grind for sure. Maybe there's an area that generates enemies that drop scrolls? I think forgetting + scribing scrolls will likely outperform most xp farming for solo runs. Non-arcane doesn't have that option at all. Thieves can abuse pickpocketing + trap pulling, and clerics can buff skelly spam at least. Fighters would be the most annoying to use at min level start solo. I guess you can tuigan bow kite some weak stuff for a bit.

[@anatolej.deletch6321]

@@TheMelnTeam, at the beginning there are Irenicus dungeon and none people to pickpocket. And with Blade human on hard difficulty, using blur, images, ghost armor etc. (Highest level spell - 3 at the beginning) I was still dying more often than I can remember. Even little imp was a problem. And that's even with 18 to all physical stats and "max" weapon proficiency (+3 two weapon and +1 weapons). Even with defensive spin I got hit often and with offensive one - could hit someone rarely. Pretty frustrating and boring. I mean, that's the thing with the hard difficulty but still. Especially with android version where you can die from nothing and scripts can delay their activation for god knows how long (but till troll, for example, didn't fall unconscious - it hits you hard). Some very frustrating bugs - stoneskin contingencies, for example. Infinite contingencies on one person - i was dispelling them and they were activating over and over... Breach didn't remove the stoneskin, though it should to remove all "physical" protections, so you could hit the target. Very frustrating indeed.

[@TheMelnTeam]

​@@anatolej.deletch6321 You can pickpocket the moment you leave his dungeon, robbing all the stores that allow it (or just gold looping a fence so you can buy). Don't know what's going on with your version otherwise. Bards are better as spellcasters than in melee due to their lack of APR level scaling + rogue base THAC0. You can make a bard still do okay in combat by over-leveling, using + APR gear in both main and offhand, and getting strength high. There's a reddit post that did similar with a thief, and using specialization gloves you can get to 4.5 base APR as a rogue. Bard that runs improved haste would have 9. Given you can eventually do nonsense with use any item, you can get THAC0 to reasonable levels. However, if you have all the buffs up that you care about/are cheesing into practical immunity via vhailor's etc you can cast tenser's (prevents further spellcasting, but gives you fighter THAC0 table). Shouldn't be missing anything like that, but also can't cast magic for the duration.

[@anatolej.deletch6321]

@@TheMelnTeam, I know the stuff, I was talking specifically about beginning. When you know where's what and what's what - it's significantly easier to play. Yet, as I've said in my original reply - you just can't have as much spells at the beginning as if you'd import your character from bg1 or SOD. I mean, game was made to play in team, but solo run is tremendously hard even on core rules. Especially with the bard (Blade are the only kit that fits I guess, cause you can't do fighting and sing altogether). Fighter/Mage is better for that matter, of course. But you can't multiclass human and dual class much harder to play, as you have to start play as a 1 level mage when you make dual class thing. That's quite odd thing, as normally you wouldn't stop to be a fighter just cause you start to learn spells. And not forget how to use weapons.
