I'm sorry if I was unclear, this is in Hell, after you kill Irenicus at the Tree of Life. Tree of Life was super easy, just a few dispels and hack and slash after that.

 

This is completely different. I've tried all. Nothing seems to work. Jon also seems to have unbelieveable thaco, so every hit misses. And Staff of Magi, arrows of dispelling have been removed from the game for being too imba. Unfortunately I don't have cloak of mirroring, and can't go back because I'm in hell. I just can't seem to get even that 1 point of damage to him.

Oh oh... 

 

I can't believe it.

I just tried to CTRL+Y him. He didn't even die to that!

I tried CTRL+R to dispel him and then CTRL+Y. NO! NO EFFECT. And then he slaughtered everyone. There truly is no greater villain than Irenicus.

 

When installing, there's no option "U" to Uninstall the mod. There are "[N]o", "[Q]uit" or ability to choose "1. Tactics-SCSII hybrid" or  "2. Faithful adaptation of the Tactics version." which are both even harder than this one. I hope this wasn't the end of BG for me.

 

Edit: And for the record, I do have console command on. It says that "Slayer: 1145 damage taken" and he's near death, but he doesn't die. wtf.

 

Edit2: I just read that it doesn't work for some enemies, like demogorgon. I guess Irenicus is one of them.

Hey, thanks for the replies!

 

The battle is just too hard for my tastes and completely on a different difficulty than any fight I've experienced before this and my party just isn't that good for the fight as I have played quite casually.

 

Weidu log doesn't show anything relevant to Irenicus or Hell or Slayer or anything, but SETUP-SCSII.DEBUG does. 

 

I ran SETUP-SCSII.exe and tried to remove Improved Irenicus by pressing "N" when prompted this (this is from SETUP-SCSII.DEBUG):

 

 

Install Component [Improved Irenicus in Hell (Tactics remix)]?
[N]o, [Q]uit or choose one:
 1] Tactics-SCSII hybrid
 2] Faithful adaptation of the Tactics version

but it didn't do anything for the fight, which is weird, because I'm almost sure that's the mod that's affecting this. 
 
Also you mentioned about the experience. I've noticed that I get, I think, 62,5% of the experience I should get (in vanilla). For example, where I should get 36 000 exp for a quest, I get only 22 500 exp. Do you know what mod makes that and how to remove it? I have no idea how to get any more exp in BG2 as I have done almost all quests I can think of.
 
Bleh, I'm seriously contemplating CTRL+Y and moving to ToB but I would really like to kill Irenicus with "my own hands". :/
 
Edit: Also, I checked the Smarter mages mod
 
Install Component [Smarter Mages]?
[R]e-install, [N]o Change, [U]ninstall, [Q]uit or choose one:

 2] Mages only cast short-duration spells instantly at start of combat if they are created in sight of the PC

 3] Mages never cast short-duration spells instantly at start of combat (currently installed)

As you can see, I have option 3 selected, but Irenicus still casts instant spells at the start of the combat. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your reply.

 

I see there's a folder named "ii" in SCSII folder, which I suspect is the Improved Irenicus folder and there's also a folder named "mage". How do I uninstall these? I've tried to remove the whole SCSII folder, or only the "ii" folder for the duration of the fight, but it doesn't do anything.
