Tactics problems

Remove all ads!

I installed Tactics a couple of days ago and Have bitten off more than I can chew!
I uninstalled Improved Ilyich and Ishan's toughest random spawns in order to reach Athkatla as I found Chateau Irenicus impossible.
However each time I start a new game it obviously hasn't uninstalled. Do I have to uninstall the whole tactics module and reinstall just the parts that I want and if so what will happen to the other mods that I have installed over it (Ascension,Solaufein,Valen,Flirt pack,Item upgrade)?
Also I decided to try out the Anti paladin kit and go with an Evil Party. My eventual lineup would be Korgan, Jaheira, Edwin, Solaufein, Valen and my Anti-Paladin (Azog STR 19,DEX 18,CON 19,INT 1,WIS 16,CHA 17). I am a little concerned at the lack of Clerical Magic but figure on using potions and rods of resurrection where needed. I want to include Solaufein(fighting and spells) and Valen(fighting and thief skills) as I have not played with either before. I need another tank so ...Korgan and Jaheira (romance,healing,fighting and insect spells). I will need more magic so Edwin gets the nod over Imoen as he is a better wizard and I have the thief side of things covered with Valen. Any thoughts on the best lineup that includes Valen and Solaufein would be appreciated (even if it means me giving up the Anti Paladin ).

 

You mean you are still stuck with the upgraded ilyich & co? Could you post your WEIDU log? That way I can get an idea of what the problem could be.

 

I just cheated my way out so I guess thats settled. Bumped myself up a couple of levels, dropped the diff. level to normal and gave my party a couple of decent items. Then I got up to the top lounge (next to the portal room) and basically lured the Russians up there from the library one by one and took them out rather easily.

 

Either it's a typo or the Mind Flayers are going to feast on your AntiPally's liver.

 

Damn didnt think of that (Caradhras). I thought for a long time before nerfing my INT and couldn't think of anything that could be bad about it. I guess I need to create some tomes of clear thought quick (at least 10) or buff up on my AC or just stay away from them and let Korgan and Valen handle them.

 

how did you get it to 1 anyway?

The minimum for PC's is 3. Doesn't even matter what kind of pc.

 

I just created my character normally and it allowed me to slide the cursor to 1.

 

I'm guessing the guy is a half-orc. They have a lower minimum intelligence than other races.

 

Got it in one

 

I've installed tactics yesterday and strange thing began to happen in improved Irenicus battle:

I've set traps under Dragon, but they do damage only sometimes, when I choose a specified dialogue combination. Why?
Once something triggered and Irenicus turned into Slayer, but it was only once and I did nothing. What's going on?
Anyway, how to kill him? He runs all the time, destroys whole party in about half a minute and is immune to everything. I tried dispelling his protection, but it only let me to do some damage andhe healed and killed me in the end.
I've got overpowered 4mln party and access to most of spells by some tome of shopping from another mod.

EDIT: 3 Khelben's Whips are enought, as well as 2 spike traps. This is probably the thoughtest battle on Infinity engine.

I beat imp. Irenicus battle on insane difficulty and my party was at full health.

So you defeat his companions, but can'T beat his final battle?

He is EASY once you know how to hurt him. Otherwise he is INVINCIBLE!

TIPS:

Get that cloak which deflects all damage spells. Keep Irenicus busy with one NPC using that cloak. Irenicus will zap him with all kind of damage spells and shatter magic once he finds out that his spells can'T hurt him. To no use. Just don't fall to his symbols.

How to beat him? Detect illusions thief skill will dispel his invisibility BUT he is still immune to spells. I unleashed 3 Ruby Rays (they are alteration, and Irenicus has Spell Immunityivination and Abjuration) to no effect. I fear NO spells can touch him. For some reason.

When he casts Protection from MAgic Weapons, count to twelve. It lasts for 24 seconds and he casts it again when it is gone. Once you count to 12 cast a Time Stop! He will be frozen. With some luck his Protection from Magic weapons will be gone in Time Stop so whack him with SoM, it dispels his protections despite the fact he has SI:Abjuration.

Eagle bow, and its special arrows are a must! The bow is found in Improved Wraith Sarevok fight, which is a part of the Tactics or Imp.battles. Its special arrows, created 5/day, stuns a target with no save! So once you hit JonBon with it, the battle is finished.

Immy casted a TS, waited for his PFMW end, hit with SoM, then fired a special Eagle feather arrow.

VOILA! Irenicus was stunned, narry a single protection spell on him! Guess what happened next? My GWWing fighters butchered him quickly and I last saw chunks of his putrid flesh flying all over.

Also use Insect Plague and/or Creeping doom. You can'T target JonBon, target a NPC next to him, bugs will bounce to him. Or have a planetar, planetar can see invisible and cast directly at him! Bugs will eat his stoneskins fast and he won't cast that often. Try it!

Wand of Lightning strikes JonBon! It can target invisible! Once you get down his spell turning, (bolts will bounce to you but if you have the cloak which REFLECTS lightning damage back again and again it will prove to be be a fun lightning bolt tennis match! His turning will be spent but yours will last forever!) and eventually bolts will damage him! He has some MR but..it is not that high and with some luck you can kill him!

If three or more casters continously zap him with lightning bolts from wands he will die fast I guess. Why don't you try it?

Hope these help. Tell us when you defeat him!
