Dragon's Eye

Remove all ads!

I'm stuck in Dragon's eye. I can't remember which level it is (i think it's the third) where there's a big gang of trolls and clerics in a cavern, which i cannot defeat (they are in the bottom left of the map).

HELP!!

 

Protect your self with spells then try to eliminate them one by one. If that doesn't work then kill the clerics first (send all fighting characters to fight them and use your spell casters to support them). And if that won't work either just kill them with cheats.

Don't you just hate Dragon's Eye?

 

Bottom line:

There's a chick cleric standing right out in the open, so if you start throwing area effect spells out there she'll get hit and die/turn hostile.

You want to prevent that.

So, rush your theif in, under cover of shadows, so you see all the enemies at once. If you can't manage to get your thief in there, don't worry about it. Just rush one person into the room and get as many enemies to 'lock-on' to you as possible. Trolls and clerics, no difference.

Back that character back up to where you left your other 5 guys. Around the bend will do, it doesn't have to be very far; but far enough that you are completely out of range of the cleric chick.

They will come, one by one, in single file. Flip arrows, and web them before they get to you. You'll be able to rest and heal once you get back down to the cleric chick.

 

Archers and Magic Missle spells hitting the clerics and disrupting their spells was my method. In the mean time my other fighters went toe to toe with the trolls. But it was a tough battle.
I just loved Dragons Eye
FYI: My party consisted of two Fighters, one Fighter/Cleric, one Illusionist, one Cleric and one Mage/Thief.

Alventis these trolls look alot like ejsmith right? Then I think you need a mage in your party. Because your problem is they fall to the ground but don't die they just lie there and you can't kill them right? Thats what happened to me so I casted the spells either melf's acid arrow, burning hands, agganazar's scorcher, fireball, and flame arrow. Those were the spells I used theres probably more that you can use and still hit the troll. Make sure your guys are moved away from the troll (probably behind your mage) when casting all the spells except for the two arrow spells. I remember doing a lot of sleeping in this place to regain my spells.

 

Clerics first, trolls later. If you can't defeat them finish the whole Dragon's Eye quest first, and then return. You have some useful weapons to find in other caves.

 

Do these trolls look alot like ejsmith if they do I know your problem. These trolls are falling to the ground but are not dying and your guys can't harm the troll. You need a mage in your party. When the troll is on the ground you cast a spell that will make contact with the troll. Some of the spells I used were fireball (probably don't have right now), burning hands, melf's acid arrow, flame arrow, and agganazar's scorcher. There is probably more spells that will hit the troll but those were the only ones I found that make contact.I remember doing a lot of sleeping here to regain my spell. This should kill the troll. Try this and let me know how it went.
Note: You should keep your guy's away from the troll (behind the mage is the best) while casting the spells except for the two arrow ones.

 

that´s a nice battle.

i think the worst problems are the combined forces of troll and magic, i found out the hard way and after 3 encounters with the grim reaper for the most of my party.

another drawback was the fact, that i had a conjurer in my party, which is a nice reinforcer later on, but sucks horrible in the beginning if it comes to combat magic (hey, those lousy 2 melf arrows don´t count and my thief still couldn´t dual.

well, i went back to kuldahar and bought myself a nice supplement of those big flaming oil-jugs (you can get some of the molotov´s by searching the corpses of the slain lizardmen in the upper levels of dragon´s eye).

then i returned to the spot and used the old bait tactic. let your thief stand there and wave with his hanky, so all the trolls will follow him. it is even better, if not all the trolls follow at once, the others will come sooner or later by themselves, believe me.

now you place your two tanks at the upmost end of that little "narrowing" of the path (uhm, ukwis?), it´s after the bridge and right before the altar place.

and now you just let them come (the narrowing queues them all nicely) and when you see one troll going down, boom!, throw an oil jug. the explosion will finish it off and do some serious damage to the other trolls standing there (and your party, so prot. from fire comes in handy). i used about 15 jugs and the battle was still messy, but i finally had a chance. after securing this place you might even have the chance to go back and rest, if the cleric didn´t follow (she usually does not). so it was just the usual business then...

good luck!

 

Flame or Acid arrows will also kill trolls, as will any poison damage you can do to them.
