Well, it came time once again in my travels to come accross the tanr'ri in my humble planar sphere quest.

Some of you may recall, last time i had problems with this demon, because i took the planar sphere quest as my second (only after completing the slavers quest.)

This time i played a Wizard Slayer, and i tell you.. not being able to use potions is pretty damn hard.

I am happy to anounce, however, that this time i defeated the Tanar'ri with no problems, with a simple strategy.

- Ring of Ram x2 (i pickpocketed tolgarias then killed him and got another, Thanks User!, from Yoshi and Val)

- Minor Sequencer ( Doom x2 with Aerie )

- Minsc (Doom, and also holding Sword of Chaos+2)

- PC (Horror, holding the Lilacor)

- Jaheira (Doom)

After the intial castings, all of the Tanar'ri's summons had been horrified, so they fled.. the Tanar'ri was frightened as well, and turned yellow. From there, i cast Holy Smite x 2 and had Minsc and PC rush to take him down.

Anyone else use tactics along those lines? Any others you can think of?

I'm having way too much fun!

Me - I generally rush them, almost regardless of party set up.

One of my few preperations is to cast some Anti fear spell, I hate fear and that it always affects 2-3 of my party but none of the enemies when I cast it

But I usually have at least 2 heavy hitters in my party (+3/4 weapons) - and they take the brunt while 2 others take down summons and the rest use spells/arrows on the demon.

remove fear, improve haste, then cast free action...

the tanari can cast fear, and death gaze, which is a very powerful stun spell....free action will take care of that...

after those 3, they are toast...

Ah, Tanar'ri...

Simple, cast Improved Invisibility, get my Monk(imp. invis.) and use Stunning Blow, stun him, summon some monsters, beat him up a bit, and he is dead fred.

Monks sound incredibly difficult to play. Yet, i am very curious.

When it comes to RPG's, Baldurs Gate 2 is my first one. I really... am not too good at them, but i have such a blast playing. Anyway, those are so cool ideas you guys have, definately help me on my way through next time

Ah, the good old first time trough. Where you miss half the quests because you havent found this site.

The monk is a pretty good char. Never really got ast act 3 but fun to play for a while

the first time is only fun if you dont come to this site...walkthroughs make it so boring
