The arena begins with 1 Cornugon, 2 Abishai, 1 Bone Construct (? forgot the name), 1 Erineys and 2 other assorted devils. Belhifet summons either 1 Cornugon or 2 random other devils periodically who must be killed immediately or they WILL fuck you up. Everything does tons of damage (I've removed the difficulty-based damage increase) and tries to either fear or charm you, Caelar likes to gulp pots of invisibility when she gets low, so if you want to take her down fast you need Purge Invisibility or similar. Belhifet teleports around. I made the fight more difficult for myself however, because I only had 1 thing against fear (a pot of clarity) which I gave to Corwin. I assume it's going to be a bit easier if you have perma-immunity to fear for the whole party, like that chest armor, but it's not the only thing to worry about. Insane as a difficulty is a bit cheap, because it likes to throw hordes of enemies at you which spam you with spells you are bound to not make your saving throw due to the sheer amount of them, so you pretty much need immunities. I found spiders particularly annoying because it seems like their web doesn't allow a saving throw at all, but I digress. It's not SCS level difficulty where everything is AI based and, like I said, it's a bit cheap, but it's not a pushover either and I wouldn't play it on lower difficulties. <br />Lacrymasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345126191270611325.post-84862423771122376532016-08-08T16:03:46.671-07:002016-08-08T16:03:46.671-07:00Viconia also leaves when Bence Duncan accuses you ...Viconia also leaves when Bence Duncan accuses you of murder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345126191270611325.post-37258524714034581342016-07-24T02:17:21.980-07:002016-07-24T02:17:21.980-07:00Icewind Dale is one of my fave RPGs, too.

I like IWD2 a lil' more, though (mainly because of the extra build opportunities offered by the 3rd Edition ruleset).Lilura1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00672152692345839654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345126191270611325.post-21625311539664767842016-07-24T02:14:26.183-07:002016-07-24T02:14:26.183-07:00Thanks for the pro-tips, Anon!Thanks for the pro-tips, Anon!Lilura1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00672152692345839654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345126191270611325.post-36518961384673570062016-07-21T13:21:42.927-07:002016-07-21T13:21:42.927-07:00On this particular chapter there are two last spec...On this particular chapter there are two last spectacles encounters, one on the very beginning and it involves a celestial. Two possible outcomes: allying or killing, the latter does involve a great micromanagement because he/she has uber stats but lamely no loot...<br /><br />The last one is before the elevator, it should be a Glabrezu or a demon (not devil, or the contrary lol) that turns immediately hostile and after some damaging (90%-95% hp) he begs you to spare him, not without some reward for the act (longsword +5 but 30 charges, after +1, pretty lame, and maybe something else, don't remember). Just accept it and force kill him, easy xp.<br /><br />On another matter, I still don't know the consequences (if any) if the PC self sacrifices and fails the answer, offer one companion (breaking romance?) and give the correct/bad answer to the riddle...<br /><br />Last thing, on the final battle, it's pretty hilarious when Belhifet instagib Caelar (chunk of meat lol) and on the aftermath the uncle cries on some pile of meat (lol)<br /><br />Anyway, nice guide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345126191270611325.post-71261528290638923432016-07-19T20:25:05.181-07:002016-07-19T20:25:05.181-07:00Hi Ahti,

I thought they would somehow connect with the Forgotten Realms Drizzt books. I was really excited that they instead connected to my other favorite RPG, Icewind Dale.<br />I'm a little disappointed I couldn't pillage Belhifet or Caelar. That would have been a pretty sweet flaming sword to swing around.<br />Thanks for all the great walkthroughs. I defiantly missed a lot of secret caches. Thanks for all the help.
