The creature type (not individual) I hate in ToB

I must say, I found Abizigal and Draconis (ARRRRGHHH ENOUGH WITH THE INVISIBILITY!!!) to be the toughest...

But they are not individual man

 

Yeah. Draconis and Abazigal are really powerful.
But the worst enemies are mind flayers I think...

 

Baronius are you twelve?

 

Mind flayers are my least favorite.
Hands down.

I haven't been playing all that long, but I haven't had much of a problem with the Beholders or even the Vampires (I just finished up Chapter 3). Once I learned how to use Breach and Negative Plane Protection, those two species went to being merely annoying.

Mind flayers though, jeez. I ran into their chamber in the dungeons and was dead in a couple of seconds. It was ugggggly.

Beholders... esp. the improved ones.

@sick_curtain

Use the force (cloak of mirroring )

 

Illithids and their tougher cousins are by far the hardest.

I found the demi-lich rather easy, for some reason. Dragons were also rather easy, as long as you try and keep your characters spread out.

However, the Illithids tended to be in small rooms where they could quickly rush you, and unless you knew they were coming, you usually lost a few characters. I think I probably ended up more well-prepared for the Mind Flayers as anything else in the game.

 

Heh, the Cloak of Mirrors doesn't seem to do all that much against improved beholders because it will not stop their slow ray. Eventually, I had Korgan wearing that and although their rays didn't do any damage, they screwed his AC enough that they could pound him with impunity. The Shield of Cheeseran is pretty good though.

 

Illithids/Mind Flayers (they screw up the minds of my characters), Liches (their time stop and other spells are a pain in the @$$) and Beholders (I hate it when they cast inprisonment!).

To tell you the truth, I *LIKE* fighting dragons (!). They're a challenge and not really obnoxious.

I'm ok with demons and vampires (all you need's a fast cleric). Golems are a little more irritating because you need to use a blunt weapon but it's mostly ok. I like killing Giths!

 

@Rastor
Greater Beholders are usually surounded by gauths or normal beholders which would make the fight much tougher. With cloak you can leave all those wounds shooting Beholders to kill themselves while releasing all your fire to the greater one. Alone he isnt such a problem

 

Kill themselves? You must be playing with the original cloak then. After installing ToB, the cloak is changed so that it does not reflect spells, it only stops them.

 

Really??? Thats way better
All i saw in ToB is that bad-lookin animation. Anyway i'm gonna download it soon

 

Mind Flayers, Beholders, Vampires and Demons

 

in short all the tough ones except dragons right Shadowhunter
