    [​IMG] I’m playing Tactics on Insane. My Fighter/Mage is dual-wielding upgraded Celestial Fury and Pitchwife (both are +5 weapons – yes, I’m powergaming this time around :D )

    Anyway, I can’t kill Improved Kangaxx. I can get him to ‘Near Death’ in his first form, and he goes into the dialogue he uses just before he gets his second form, but he never actually changes to his second form (the skull). I keep doing damage, but no results – he just stays at Near Death. Not even Ctrl-Y works (and I do have cheats enabled).

    Any ideas?

    Just the same problem I encountered with Tactics. My solution then was to uninstall Improved Kangaxx and Guardians and load an earlier safe. I am not sure it is part of the problem but I also uninstalled Smarter Mages/Liches before confronting Kangaxx.

    Nowadays I install Improved Kangax to take on the party (just gotta get that Ring of Protection +2) and uninstall it when going after Kangi.

    @Splunge
    You would'nt happen to have Protection from Undead on, would you?
    I'm playing a Blade on tactics at Core for the moment so I could adjust myself to the changes the mod does. So far I've done eveyrthing in SoA except Kangaxx, Firkraag and the Twisted Rune. Earlier I tried the Twisted Rune and abandoned it when Shangalar refused to speak with my PC and stayed on the middle of the table.
    It was only while I was busy at school when I remembered that I had cast Protection from Undead on myself beforehand and that's probably why the dialogue didn't occur.

    Don't hit him too fast. If you deal too much damage to enemies who have "death" speeches the engine cannot follow you...
    As soon as you get him to near death stop hitting him too many times, instead just hit him occasionaly and slowly make him die. :D

    One other possible option is that Stun from CFury or shards from Pitchwife also "disrupt" the speech. Try hitting him with something else and see what happens.

    There are similar problems with Improved Sendai and Improved Abazigal who have "death" speeches.

    @ Scythesong - nope, no Prot from Undead.

    @ Leslie - I thought of that too. I actually left him alone for several rounds, and still no dying (I resorted to the Prot form Magic scroll on the F/M)

    I think I will have to resort to Dendri's suggestion, and uninstall that component. Oh well, I tried. :(
