Three Gauths (Unseeing Eye Quest / After Bridge)

Remove all ads!

Damn! They are really tough ones.
They are magical machine Guns!

Three lightnings/hold person/cause critical wounds per round! damn.

Well i could hanlde lighting for 2 chars, hold person for 2 chars (keldorn is immune, on onter one i could cast free movement), BUT HOW the hell could i handle critical wounds? There is no anti-magic, resistance, i think even no saving throw! they just kill me.

Only think I think out was approaching by hidden in shadows Valygar, shoot with bow, then run behind the corner, hide again... Heal. Then do it again... Thats lame, i know, what could you suggest?

 

I found gauths and beholders to be *very* vulnerable to Abi Dalzim´s terrible whatever spell. Send someone in to scout, find them and then cast it from scroll (I guess you´re at low level).

You could also buy the shield of Balduran, but this takes the challenge from fighting them.

What?
Shield of Balduran?
Where could i buy it?
Havent found it yet.

 

Adventurer's Mart, behind Ribald. Merchant's name is Deidre.
At least, I hope I remembered correctly.

 

There's no need for such expensive solution. Just get your fighters to absorb the attacks, then get your spell casters to cast chaos/confusion/hold monster and if you can, greater malison first. The gauths will be rendered non-spell caster and then just hack your way through.

 

Fireball is also very effective against a group of Beholders/Gauths...

Deidre is only available in the Collector's Edition

Yes I had no Deidre.
What is Collectors Edition?

Can I resist critical/serious wounds? Is there saviing throw? I think not.

Hey, I have found the perfect solution for the Gauth problem of yours.

Forget the fast meele pressure, because you can't finish all three Gauths so fast that would be worth. You'll experience, that your fighters will fall very easily to the small beholders's magic.

The way is...use your rouge(Yoshimo for example) to scout the area ahead.
Then cast web with your mage at about two times,then chaos about three times.

NOTE THAT HELD BEHOLDERS CAN DAMAGE YOU BECAUSE THEY CAN SEE WHEN HELD! KNOW THAT THEIR EYES CONTAIN THE MAGIC.

That's what chaos is for. The chaos affected beholder seem to be unable to attack anyone, so it is very important that you cast chaos on them first.

Note that web and chaos can be cast at a great distance, beyond the visual range of the beholders.

It is very important that you cast these spells beyond sight, because if you are noticed by them, you have no chance to finish the casting, and no chance to survive either!

By the way!

Finish the beholders then with fireballs and missile weapons.

So long!

 

A trigger with magic missiles also kicks there asses... ehm eyes I mean.

 

shield of balduran, way cool. u need 2 download the patch from: http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/index_editors.php

look 4 bonus sales ppl, then follow instructions.

shield of balduran reflects beholder rays

 

you can send summoned creatures after them, because beholders/gauth somehow dont wish shoot beholder rays at summoned creatures (elder orb does use magic attacks, though not beholder rays)

a few elementals and your problem should be handled

Use great marison, spider spawn and web at the beholders. The spiders are immune to web and they will be able to kill the beholders in 8 to 12 seconds.

 

Actually I think that this Collector's Edition pack is something like cheat, crack or something... As well as exp. cap remover. We must play the game by its rules even when these rules are sometimes lousy.

I think I wont install this patch. I never customize games i play, never use cheat codes, never use non-developers patches/updates/fixes. Call it a policy

 

All of the above are fun ways to take care of Gauths but my favorite is scouting with a thief and then casting Sphere of Chaos, then you just sit back and laugh It's even better when they get healed one turn and disintegrated the next. That's one way to rub it in. It's a good stress releiver.

My Gauth killin' spell combination was for lower level 10-11 parties.
At the sahaguin city you can get the cloak of mirroring, probably the best cloak in the game!

From that point I just sit down with my sorcerer and watch the stupid beholders bombard themselves.

Never do this with an Elder Orb though, because it will imprison you(the cloak does not protect you from that)!

 

or u can wait to get the cloak of reflection from the Sahuagin City and watch the Gauths cause critical wounds to themselves and the Elder Orbs turn themselves to stone... i dont really think it takes the fun outta teh fight.. coz u have to wait a long time and quite a number of quests to get that cloak... eventually...

 

To kill those lil' beholders just try casting cloud kill, or use the Shield of Baldurian (sp?).

P.S. Do you still need help or you already bought the shield of Balurian used it?

Am I supposed to see that lame Balduran Shield in every post? Why does God hate me
I never used nor will use that so called bonus CD. There will be probably another bonus CD with Shield of Superman that will make you invunerable to +31 weapons and less with included all resistances 376%.

There were already many posts how to get rid of that annoying beholders without Balduran's crap. If you don't find some of above strategies acceptable, use search option and enjoy the game, don't run thru it in two days.

I haven't got the cd, so I don't have the shield, happy now?
Cast 1 or 2 cloadkills after eachother. That should kill them, or at least hurt them good!
