Cool Greatest Battle!

Post your favourite battles here:

Mine would have to be one of three possible choices:

Firstly, the Helm and Cloak inn in Baldur's Gate, where you fight another adventuring party when your in their seat at the bar. One of the greatest battles IMO!

The second would be the Iron Throne battle with the 6 really tough guys on the top floor or the Iron Throne building in Baldur's Gate.

The last would be the Cloakwood mines battle against the guy with the boots of speed and the other three. That was definitely a lot of fun!

I definatly agree on this one - lot of fun.

Also the mad cleric (Bassils??) who thinks you are part of his (and the zombies) family

Sarevok and party vs. Gorion remains one of my favorite battles in the series, despite the fact that you take no part in it (aside from being hit by a stray magic missle).

Fighting what's his name the half-orc in the mines of Nashkel was fun. The way he begs for mercy then summons some more skeletons is low

And of course who could forget the final confrontation with Sarevok. Irenicus may be a level 30 mage but he fell much quicker than Sarevok, who for me remains the toughest end boss of all the Forgotten Realms games.

My favourite is the one in the palace at the Sarevok's coronation (or whatever that is called). It is difficult since I have to protect Belt (I think that was his name), instead of just killing everyone there.

I like the bounty-hunter battles. Especially the ones in Gullykin and outside he Nashkel mines (the "Amazons"). Also the guys who think they are so tough they can take you on by themselves (Nimbul, the guy with the boots of avoidance - attack him when the Amnish soldiers walk by and see how many arrows he can dodge ).

Another one I like is in the house with doom guards and invisible stalkers in Buldur's Gate. (The one near the Helm and Cloak Inn, I think) I got killed several times there...

- I like Gullykin mines battle (this climate ! and Kobolds as well)

- I like also the Helm and Cloak inn in Baldur's Gate, where we fight another adventuring party when your in their seat at the bar.

I don't think he was a half orc. He seemed pretty small to me.

Perhaps he was a quarter orc.

(glances at Cloud)

I say he was a quarter orc by day, and an eighth orc by night. I also have three aces, and two more in my left boot. Beat that.

A good battle is a tough one. The last one is tough. First time i played chess was among the most fun.
