Hi, itried so hard to kill Kargaxx but i cannnot. My Party is betwenn 11 and 13 Lv, but the Kangaxx make me crazy, Who know how to kill him? I killed the dragons really easy with cloud kill wand any tip like this for kangaxx? Thanks, danke, grazie

Ciao

 

I don't want to be offending but you were not supposed to kill dragons easily! with cloudkill.Taking advantage from a stupid AI is less than heroic so why don't you try to deal with Kangaxx fair and square?I'm sure you will be more satisfacted...

 

Give Korgan Crom and then put him in an Enraged state which makes him immune to the Demi-Liches imprisoment spell. Korgan will pound the lich to little pieces for you.

 

I agree with DoomLord. Using the old line of sight glitch is just plain pathetic and cowardly. I am on a solo quest (that's a one character party for the less learned) and I will not cheat under any circumstances. It takes away all the fun of going toe to toe with a major bad ass like Thaxll'ssiyia (Shadow Dragon). But the game is all about having fun and we all have our own way of accomplishing that goal. So, if this inspires you to play it straight, good. If not, cheat away. Oh, and good tip there about Korgan, Ogrim.

 

Now that we've got the obligatory flaming of cloud kill users out of the way...

If you're having that much trouble with him, you can always wait until you get back to Athkatla in chapter 6. That's when I usually take care of the tougher quests.

 

No offense, but don't you think that your party is yet a "low" level party?
Try to fight him back at a later stage when your high enough and manageable (the same thing with the twisted rune quest)

 

How to kill the dawn demi-lich at 12 level. Cast Invisibility 10' Radius on everybody. Then cast spell immunity (choose abjuration) on a mage and then have a druid or a mage cast as many fire elemental as they can. Try to bring it attention on your mage by attacking him with the staff of Rynn (buy it at the Adventurer's Mart; do 1-2 dmg on Kangaxx)and he will hopefully cast (useless) imprisonement spell on your mage while your Fire Elemental will hit him for 3-6 dmg per hit. Every party member was around level 12 when I eradicate him. For better result cast haste on your Fire Elemental. I try to hit Kangaxx with a Mass of Disruption +2 and I wasn't able to hurt him.

 

You can send me a Email here. (I forgot to enable everybody to view my email adress on my profile.)

 

Im really tired of people who think they can tell everybody how to play the game the "heroic" way, who gives a **** how you play the game ? Heroic or not ?

If somebody has problems with an enemy and doesent want to try over and over again, then let them kill it however they want...

Ask yourself a question:

If you would stand in front of a Dragon IRL, what would you do.

1. Run at him with your wimpy sword

or...

2. Cast alot of spells to kill from a distance...

Only a Palladin would think twice about being heroic or not... there is something called common sense..

 

Casting spells sounds great, but then being the brave warrior the *I* am, I would not have a wimpy sword!

Of course, having an array of offensive spells to cast at this dragon would be wonderful, just as long as

A) I could see him with my own eyes and he could see me.

B) There wasn't some fog or other type of fog blocking my view to the dragon and vice versa because as a brave warrior, I simply don't want to be cheap about it you know.

C) Someone in my existing party didn't spend two days setting traps around the dragon and have the dragon watch him do this while twiddling his thumbs.

D) It was a fair battle and I wasn't using any exploits that would make the battle seem cheap.

So then and only then would I use spells, but first thing comes first and that is my sword.

If the AI is stupid, then you have the right to use its fault to your advantage, you didn't pay £35 (or whatever currency) to have AI faults, if they don't code it right, you don't have to play as if it was, blame it on the coders.

 

Well I suppose that's the easy way out, pointing the finger at anothers faults but certainly most gamers are above that and realize that being cheap on purpose isn't being much of anything.

That shield makes me sick. You should be ashamed Blackthorne TA!

Hehe.

I agree, using scrolls of magic protection and spell immunity works fine. My favourite weapon for K. is the firesword +1 (for some reason I found morningstar to have no effect on K.). Either turn undead didn´t work.

However, I have to try the enraged stuff with minsc this time .... thanks for the hint Doomhammer.

 

Well I really don't take a side on this issue, but I did want to say if you were, or ever have, played P&P D&D, the dragon would've known you were near its liar (by its amazing senses or magic). So I think truthfully everyone should be somewhat releived they can cheat (not that I am advocating, because I do not cheat). Dragons , along with Demiliches are by far one of the most difficult monsters to face, if all their abilities can be counted for.

For the shadow dragon you have that protection stone, so its gameplaywise acceptable to prepare n sleep right in fromt of him (except maybe for the sheer reek of him).
I haven't attempted any lizard yet but back from the asylum I'll have a 12/13 group with 5 spell casters, so I'll have Valygar sit back and watch the others beat shady into the ground with eye to eye magic (maybe he can join in a sunray spell).
