Aren't you a rogue? Do you wanna kill a megaboss via cheese? Do you wanna rid of Guardian of Ukaizo but you don't start combat in stealth mode? Here I am! This is a way to get Gouging Strike even if you aren't a rogue and you haven't a rogue in your party The procedure is not very difficult to reproduce but the odds it can happen are very very little, to be truth and honest. But it has happened to me just against Guardian of Ukaizo battle and I wanna let you know First of all: equip the Charm of Bones amulet. This amulet has the follow enchantment: Call the Restless which summons a random vessel. Among the random vessel it can summon, there is also this one: Risen Armsman. If you manage to summon exactly this monster, it has indeed Gouging Strike among its abilities, and it can use it against you enemy! It seems, since Rise Armsman is above all a ranged entity and that gounging strike is used particularly and mostly in melee by this monster, that it would be better summon the vessel close the foe you wanna kill in order to maximize the chances that gouging strike will be used... but these are my guess assumptions and maybe Rises Armsman can use Gouging Strike also ranged... or not using it also melee... who knows... Anyway, Charm of Bones has 10 uses and the total number of summoned vessels should be 13, so how much are the odds you can summon a Risen Arsman? If i am right, this is a typical Bernoulli Process, so with 1/13 single chance probability (about 0.0769) and 10 trials you end up with 0.383, thus almost 40%!!! But then you have to hope Risen Arsman uses Gounging Strike... not so unbelievable at the end If you manage to try this approach let us know how many times you can get a Gounging Strike without a rogue, thanks!- 3 replies

Hi, maybe I've discovered a bug and a potential cheese. I went in the Oratory of Wael, didn't start the fight with enchanted armors and "rays machine", went back in Temple of Relevation, came back in the Oratory... and the machine didn't start, no enchante armors to fight... immediately scene with archmage and then also no combat qith infested Maura! (I took the Enclosures section first). I'd should retry to be sure of how prevent this encounter, but I think I have no near saves for it... but if someone has experimented this let us know or I'll have to try in a future run

A great tactic has been found. If you use cracking bolt and rolling flame from a long distance, the enemy will not notice the party, which in turn means endless spells. This method allows you to destroy almost any encounter or lure enemies one by one increasing or decreasing the distance. Also, since the spells are power level 2-3, This strategy can be effectively used by any wiz-multiclasses, making the strategy a great way to complete solo PoTD. If you a smart wizard, you should practice sniping. Also, if an enemy encounter contains healers trying to kill someone is pretty useless unless you can kill mob with one blow, but in this case, such exploits are simply not needed. Still great for luring. -
I'm looking for a consistent way of killing the Adra Dragon I tried killing the adra dragon couple of times without 'cheese'-ing, the only thing I did for convenience is to line my characters in a certain way around the dragon and then attack. Cheese includes: 1) paralyze scroll chain (thats how i beat it once but its too cheese!) 2) killing her companions first without aggro-ing her (i believe its not intended that way) I did try to use maelstrom scrolls without paralyze but im just getting whipped (literally!) too fast with all those AOEs and the little reptalians that go for my backline to do ever more pressure... I try to use resurrection scrolls a lot but at some point they just don't bring characters up again The ONLY damaging spells that work are: 1) Priest level 5th pillar of holy flame 2) Wizard level 5th blast of frost 3) Scroll - maelstrom 4) Wizard 5th wall of force but not as strong as blast of frost (i die before duration end..) Problem is they can't always do full damage due to resistances. I can't reduce dragon resistances due to its ... well ... resistances !!! All the resistance-lowering spells from Aloth and Durance that I try miss. And whats the point waiting for iroll100 for the slight chance that they WILL hit ? The most I was able to do spamming those damaging spells is to get her to Injured before I can't resurrectmy party anymore (not sure if bug or intended so resurrect wont be abused?). Not to make this post too long, i'll just add i do drink some defense potion of Eder and everyone ate food ofc +2 might. Summons don't do much except maybe holding xunatrip at bay. Suggestions ? For fun I posted an image of the Adra dragon dying due to cheese (paralyze fest and lucky resistance-reduction spells... look how much I crit!): -
Let's start to collect all the stinky stuff right here. Inspired by Use R. Unfriendly and his epic collection The Hero's Guide to A Succesful Adventure or 500 ways to use cheese for decimating even the most powerful foes. link -
Hey all! I know these "choose my class" threads are painful, but as I wasn't around for the beta test, I'm gonna need you scholars to aid me in my quest. So my favorite game of all time is BG2: SoA and my favorite class by far is the Sorcerer. I love being able to snare and nuke enemies with all sorts of shiny spells and see my enemies laying before me when the dust clears. Would the obvious choice for this be wizard? I also read somewhere that druids were better for exploding enemies more efficiently from a DPS standpoint. What do you guys think? Also, any recommendations for a fight/cleric type class. My second favorite would have to be a flashy melee type fighter that can buff and charge in chunking enemies like a pro. I guess pally would be ideal? Thanks a bunch all.
