I decided to do some tough monster kicking and installed all the Improved Tougher 'XXXX' patches.
so there I am, a kensai/mage with only Viconia at my side (I wanted to solo but then decided to give Vicky's romance a try
) and I've made it this far without to many problems. all the tougher battles so far were really fun, but with Abazigal I ran into a 'little' problem...first off, I found the fight was a lot tougher than I had expected, the real pain is keeping Viconia alive (or at least, not getting her permanently killed
) well, after god knows how many reloads and several strategy changes I finally found a pretty reliable way of getting rid of the Drakes and the purple dragon. so then, I killed everything except Abazigal, who was still in his human form. I decided to keep him busy with a Mord's Sword and a Deva, while I retreated out of his line-of-sight and quick-saved at that point I thought, 'ok, it's preatty much over, he should be easy'... khm...well, after about 20 reloads and getting him down to Near Death almost every time, I got suspucious. whatever I did, he wouldn't die! once I got him to Near Death and then cast Time Stop three consecutive times and kept whacking at him all along; still, he wouldn't die. next time I cast Wish, got a double length Time Stop, then cast Time stop a further five times, without interruption; kept pounding him all the time and still he insisted on living. I added up all the damage and it turns out I did about 1000 dmg to him! that's twice the amount of his HP (500... checked with SK)! so I'm thinking 'Sc*ew you, I beat you fair and square' and decide to Ctrl-Y him... well, you guessed it - he DIDN'T die!! Ctrl-Y didn't kill him!
so I then Qtrl-Q him and sure enough, he has 1 of 500 HP left, and regardles of how much I pound him he's stuck at that 1 HP.
so now I'm stuck with an immortal dragon
after all the trouble I've gone through to kill him, it turns out I can't... there's just no justice in the world ...
