How to Kill a Lich BG2 Style

Illithid in action

Fighting liches has always been a problem for me. It requires a different approach than I would apply to fighting a group of brigands, or even rogue wizards. These guys are hardcore on magic, but their main attacks generally consist of symbols and time stop. How do you get around this? Especially when you realize that blocking abjuration to avoid the time stop doesn’t work? Some say block the conjuration to avoid the symbols and do anything you can to outlast his spells, whether it be through such tactics as kiting (aggro and run out of attack range, having him chase you), or my fav: poly-morphing into a mustard jelly!

I tried this one today, and it worked for sures! 100% magic immunity, something I can appreciate about a mustard jelly for the first time! I just put Cloak of the Sewers on Minsc, made him into a mustard jelly, put a regenerate ring on him for good look and wham! Only thing that hit him was a fireball, and that was petty! Soon the lich’s defenses ran out and he was dead!

This test was done and successful with the lich in the soul prison in the Underdark. I am now going to try this tactic on other well known lich *itches

If it fails, I’ll be sure to tell you my alternate tactic.

Yeah, I’ve checked up on this and noticed it too… 5 is the cap, I don’t know why I thought it was 3. Damn numbers! But thanks for correcting

you can control a maximum of five summoned creatures in bg2/tob. it says five is the limit . when you cast two monster summoning spells, one of which may grant you three monsters, the other will only give two, at which point the game text informs you of the five monster cap.

The bears get summoned in twos. They seem linked and I remember having 6 bears at once.
Though this was so long ago. Someone needs to test!

This must’ve been a bug, cuz u can’t have more than 3 creatures summoned at one time

These are the guys that suck your brains away right?
If sooo that is sooo annoying!

annnd I have some tactics I wish to share.
(This strategy actually works on most encounters)

First you must have a druid in your group or multiple druids
and also someone who can do AOEs.

Now the druids need to start casting their pity bears (those duel polar bears
that love each other and never separate even when instructed too)

The pity bears need to be casted in doorways. For some reason there strange
behavior of never wanted to be separated causes them to pivot madly and get
clogged in doors.

So keep pouring on pity bears in the doors until you can’t
cast anymore. This will act as a great buffer and you nuke the room through
the doorway at a safe distance, even if the pity bears turn on you cuz they
are getting hit as well wont matter because they will be unable to do anything
because of they will be stuck in the door .

I used this tactic to get to the end of the game. lol

(P.S the reason I call them pity bears is when I played with my friend he would call for
help and all I would do is cast 2 bears to help him and he dubbed them the pity bears)

Hope this helps! Enjoy
