*spoilers* Impossible final battle in BG2 with BiG World Setup.

09 January 2013 - 07:02 AM

Hi!

 

I've been playing the BiG World Setup casually, and so far everyting has been balanced and fair.

But in Hell, where you face Irenicus, the mods make the battle impossible.

 

As soon as Irenicus summons, he casts these spells:

  • (precast)
  • Stoneskin
  • Protection from Magical Energy
  • Protection from Cold, Electricity, Fire, and Elements
  • Spell Trap
  • Immunity: Divination
  • Globe of Invulnerability
  • Improved Invisibility
  • Mirror Image
  •  
  • Improved Haste
  • ~
  • Chain Contingency (takes effect immediately)
  • Protection from Magical Weapons
  • Improved Haste (again)
  • Immunity: Abjuration

 

After that he casts two timestops and proceeds to kill my entire party.

 

His Immunity: Abjuration blocks remove and dispel magic, Immunity: Divination blocks true sight, so there's no way for me to dispel his protections. The only thing that has worked is Ruby ray of reversal, but after I've casted that he still has tons of protections and casts his timestop and kills everybody. If I somehow manage to survive that, he casts a second time stop after that. I've managed to get him near death with Imoen's traps, but can't finish him because of his protections and fast regeneration (and health potions).
 

I've tried several cheese tactics, but they don't work with this improved irenicus. I've tried to run in circles around the map, so his protection spells would disappear, but he's too quick and casts powerword stun. I could protect myself against that, but he just dispels all my buffs. I could protect myself against his dispels, but then he casts slow.  I've also tried to retreat to the southern stairs, and just wait, but somehow he knows we are there.

 

My highest party member is only level 18, so I don't have any lvl 9 spells.

 

I think this is part of SCS2, Tactics or Ascencion mods, but I am not sure which.

I want to disable the mod that's doing this and just fight the vanilla Irenicus, but don't know what folder to delete to deactivate this mod.

 

Could anybody help?
