| | | Never's swords
Can anyone tell me how to beat the swords in Never's tomb in the Blacklake District? They kick my a so fast I figure I must be missing something. I managed to sneak through to get the loot and zip out but I'd still like to go back and kick some sword butt. |

| | | That's what I was afraid of. How high did you get before you could beat them? I'm 6th level ranger and they blew me away. Made quick work of my barbarian henchman and summoned badger then took me out without a thought. |

| | Cant remember my level at the moment, but I do recall how I did this... it wasnt very professional, but heck, I did the job after all.
My char is a fighter/paladin, and always carry the sorcerer henchman with me.
I went in, killed one of the swords (had to use the henchman as a frontliner, so he died) and then quickly left the room. Rested, went in again, and to my surprise the remaining three blades where still wounded, so took another one out and repeated the process until the four were slain. Looted the chests, and stoneofrecalled my henchman back.  It did involve some reloading, though, but not enough to reach the "frustrated" level
Good luck! |

| | Barbarian Henchman, Dire Spider Summoned, Pixie Familiar... and I ran in circles around the pyramid. Stupid swords chased me and my followers cut them down.

| | @Wooly: All hail the undisputed -LORD OF CHEESE- I'll have to admit, it does get the job done though...

| | | I needed to run. Two swords were on me and I had to get them onto my followers. The only way I could do it was to go round the pyramid. My Wizard just doesn't have the hit points.
The first time that I played I mostly just fought them as a warrior.
I finished as a warrior/rogue. Now in chapter 3 as a Wizard.

| | @Wooly: I understand. Ah, the good old days of BG, when I was a lowly mage and didn't know how to change formation...a very bad thing not to know. Needless to say I did a lot of running and dying.

I beat Never's Swords without losing my henchman. It was hard but this is how I did it with my level 7 paladin with a Harbringer Kin +1 Greatsword and Armor of Comfort.
I used potions just before entering, lots of them. I used a potion of endurance, a potion of Bull's Strength, a potion of Cat's Grace, a potion of Barkskin, and a potion of Speed. Also, it helps to have 5-6 cure serious wounds potions.
I have Sharwyn as a henchman and I have her in archer mode.
Basically when you enter, you run right up to the closest sword and beat on it and watch your hp, if you did it right all the swords will focus on you giving your henchman the opportunity to cheap shot them and help buff/heal you while you smash them (3 hits per sword with the Harbringer). Fun battle once you know how to beat it.
