I beat Firkraag for the first time!

[u/InternationalAbies63]

I'm on chapter 2 and I didn't think it was possible to beat him because of how I was doing: really clueless.

I prepared a simple strategy: I pre-buffed myself with protection from fear and evil, summoned as many summons as I could, surrounded Firkraag, and then, with Viconia, I cast the "magic resistance" spell on him (which reduces resistance if it exceeds the resistance it will give) and since it's a friendly spell, Firkraag doesn't get angry. Finally, with Yoshimo, I literally placed all the traps I had under him.

Then I approached with Leonel, started the fight and boom, less than half of my life instantly, then with Aerie it was simply a matter of casting Breach and that's it, I won.

(Level of my Party)

Leonel 12

Yoshimo 15

Viconia 13

Minsc 12

Jaheira 10/12

Aerie 10/11

Postscript: If you're wondering why there's so much gold, it's because I used the exploit to sell, steal, and resell.

Congrats on Carsomyr. Hopefully you have pips in two handed weapon on your paladin.

[u/InternationalAbies63 → u/IlikeJG]

Thank you, and of course I have pips in two handed swords!

Ha, in my last playthrough (Core rules) I literally just chugged potions of fire resistance and punched him harder then he punched me. Did it pre-underdark, which I did not expect. My previous playthrough I had to resort to Doom-Malison-Feeblemind.

Now prepare to be killed by Draconis.

Good, that's good. Now go kill another one.
