Need Dragon Slaying Help

Am I the only one that finds it pretentious that someone would complain about using traps to kill a dragon but it is somehow OK to continue re-loading a game 12 times until the feeblemind spell takes hold? Seems about the same to me. (No flame intended)

Also, it is perfectly OK IMHO to set a three to six traps on the Shady Lady…she can’t see you after all. I will agree that it is lame that some people will kick Yoshi out or click the DC button and then cancel to refresh the traps, but then again, they paid their money for the game, so why would I get emotionally tied to it?

 

ok, easy way, don't get close enough to see him, its obvious where he is, loud up on cloudkill stinking cloud and fireball. Cast these out of site if him so he won't even come attack you, now this probably won't kill him, but while you do this cast a bunch of spells that will enhance your party, raise up a couple creatures, and wait till everything dispells to attack phisically. now leave your spell casters behind to take down his defenses, use spells that lower resistances, and then hit him with something powerful. this works on all dragons.

 

If you reread my message. No where in it did I complain about people using traps. I did not even imply dismay at such a tactic. I clearly stated in plain English, that killing the dragon via other methods was more fun for me. It is a game afterall. I reloaded 12 times due to the bug which left me without the treasure you're supposed to get. I came here to listen to what other players had done to overcome this monster, and tried the solution I thought would enjoy best. If thats pretentious in your book, so be it. Websters dictionary defines the word pretentious and its use, quite differently.

 

Retro - my apologies if you were offended. It seemed (and actually still does seem) that you tried 12 times unsuccessfully to feeblemind the dragon. In fact, you have every right to do what you want in your game without my negative comments.

My comments about people complaining about traps was in reference to the many posters who complain about traps but don't mind re-loading an infinite number of times until a spell/attack/pickpocket works. Persoanlly, I don't care if you or anyone else does either or both, I just find the "holier-than-thou" attitude about this game that MANY posters exhibit a bit boring.

I could never find the fights in BG2 entertaining, so finger of death would be a viable tactic for me, makes another tedious battle go over quicker, once you've fought one enemy, you've fought them all...

 

Well.. I killed Firkraag with my solo berserker at level 15.

Used an oil of speed, had Lilarcor and full plate mail, and some other goodies all attainable in Chapter 2.. and with a bit of running about, lots of quaffing healing potions.. I managed to take him out.

Was pretty fun really

 

The fight w/the Shadow Dragon was really easy for me; a good strategy to use is, first of all, to cast Breach and that other spell (that removes all spell protections of Lv5 and lower, can't remember the name). I had 3 melee fighters and surrounded the dragon w/them, they were attacking her (it doesn't matter if they can't hit her, the purpose is for her not to be able to move and attack my other characters), my mage was casting spells and I had my archer and my cleric shooting stones and arrows at it, respectively. Eventually it fell, at the hand of (oh, how ignominious), Yoshimo.
