All the weapons which can hurt Kangaxx

Remove all ads!

Kangaxx is probably the hardest opponent in the game. Apart from his lethal attacks, he's damned hard to hit, being only affected by +4 or better weapons. This is a complete list (I hope) of all the weapons and other items in the game that can hurt him, together with where you can find them. Those marked with '*' are available in chapter 2 so that you can go after Kangaxx before you go to Spellhold if you think you're hard enough.

Cloak Of The Stars*
Creates six +5 darts per day. Obtained from the corpse of the Shadow Lord.

Boneblade Dagger
Obtained from the corpse of Qilue, Ust Natha.

Gauntlets Of Crushing
Obtained from the corpse of Prince Villynaty, Sahuagin City.

Blackmist Halberd
Obtained from Ardulace's demon as a reward for giving up the eggs.

Dragon's Breath Halberd
Obtained from a party of adventurers that attack you in the Underdark.

Wave Halberd
Manufactured by Cromwell the Smith. You obtain the haft from the Planar Prison Warden and the blade from Prince Villynaty in the Sahuagin City.

Flame Tongue Longsword*
Obtained from the corpse of Darok in the Druid Grove. Its +4 enchantment vs. undead works on Kangaxx, apparently.

Improved Mace of Disruption*
You get the unimproved mace from the blood bath in Bodhi's lair when you first take on the vampires. Cromwell can combine this with the illithium you obtain during the Sarles quest to create the improved mace. It strikes as a +5 weapon.

Ring Of The Ram*
Obtained from the corpse of Tolgerias in the Planar Sphere. Does a goodly amount of damage but can only be used once per day.

Sling Of Everard*
Available from Joluv in the Copper Coronet (one of the bonus CD merchants).

Short Bow Of Gesen
Manufactured by Cromwell. Shaft is obtained from the tanner's house, Bridge District. Bowstring is obtained from the Spellhold labyrinth.

Cutthroat Short Sword
Obtained from Bodhi's lair in chapter 6.

Spear Of Withering
Bought from a drow merchant in Ust Natha.

Staff Of The Magi*
Obtained from the corpse of Layenne, arch-mage with the Twisted Rune.

Staff Of Rhynn*
Bought from the Adventurer's Mart.

Staff Of The Woodlands
Reward from Rhillifane in Suldanesselar. I don't think you'll get the chance to use it, though.

Carsomyr*
Obtained from the corpse of Firkraag.

Soul Reaver Two Handed Sword
Obtained from the demon knights in the Western Tunnels, the Underdark.

Warblade Two Handed Sword
Added to the stock of Adventurer's Mart in chapter 6.

Crom Faeyr
Manufactured by Cromwell. Requires Hammer Of Thunderbolts (Temple District sewers), Crom Faeyr Scroll (Shadow Dragon), Gauntlets Of Ogre Power (Planar Sphere), Girdle Of Frost Giant Strength (demon knights, Underdark).

I also believe that the greater werewolf shapeshifter form strikes as a +4 weapon.

Question: does the Ring Of Energy (Adventurer's Mart) affect him?

Ommissions / corrections welcome.

 

i think you got it all
can Staff of Thunder and Lightining hit him?
i also think there is a spell..um..Phantom Blade might be able to
and maybe mordenkain's sword
im not sure though

 

Mordekainens swords should work, but will prbably get imprisoned before dealing any real damage. The third level mage spell melfs minute meteors can also be used to hurt him. With one meteor per level and able to throw up to five in a given round, this could be one of the fastest way to kill him, with multible mages available.

 

There's a club that you in the last test in Spellhold. I think it's called "Bone Club" or something. Im not sure how much, but there's a bonus vs. Undead. I don't know what it's enchanment is.

Also, don't you get Blackmist from Patrick - the shade of Mazzy's friend?

Cloak of Stars isn't enough to beat him though, since there is only 5 darts.

 

Bone Club is +2/+3 vs. Undead

 

well, if you use the Mordenkainen's swords quick enough they won;t get imprisoned

 

@Mystra's Chosen
Blackmist is a +4 halberd - and Chris's got the location right. You're probably thinking of Duskblade which is a +2 halberd (and loot from Patrick).

Bone Club is a +2 club (+3 vs. undead). It cannot hurt Kangaxx.

EDIT: Too slow it seems...

Oh, what about Tasheron's Bow? I know it's only a +3 weapon but it seems to be able to hit almost anything...

 

The Greater Werewolf paws are only +2, even though I believe they're supposed to be +3 or +4.

 

Slayer should be able to hurt him as well, and it's immune to imprisonment.

Tansheron's Bow will not. IIRC, the only missile weapon that can is Gesen's Bow.

 

i heard tht slayers are immune to imprisonment but i neve trid it out for myself
Tansheron's bow is only a +2 i think

 

@Victor...

Ok... It's been such a long time (about a year) since I played BG2. I still remember most of the stuff, but the specifics are fading.

 

slayer is immune to imprisonment, since i got the fix pack, the fixes minsc rage ability, minsc can be imprisoned, so i used the slayer to beat kangaxx.

but slayer isn't exactly a weapon

 

shouldnt Daystar be able to hurt him too?? at least use its sunstrike ability if it can't, but im pretty sure that it hits at a +4 vs evil characters..correct me if im wrong though...

 

Yes Daystar will do a job on Kangaxx!

Yo! You are from Ottawa!

 

i also think that False Dawn might be able to hurt him to

 

Efreeti.

Melf's Minute Meteors (this was my method of beating Kangaxx - I used about 75 of these).

Totemic Spirit's Spirt Animals (I believe there is a patch or something to fix this; without it, I think they strike as normal weapons or something.)

Maybe Djinni.

 

Daystar is only considered +2 when considering what it can hit, so it won't hurt Kangaxx.

 

Yeah, but it's +4 against Undead.

 

Conjure Fire and Earth elementals. They hit too.

I didn't know Gauntlets of Crushing enchant your fists to +4... I thought it just gave bonuses to THAC0 and damage.

I faintly recall someone posting here in one of those 'funny battles' threads that the Vorpal Sword hits Kangaxx. Said he decapitated him.

 

@Neeraj, yeah im from ottawa, university student, you??

@Mystra, yeah i was pretty sure that Daystar Hits as a +4 vs Undead.. thanks!!
