Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints
How do I kill Firkraag?
1 of 9: Well, for you cheapos, the talk/hack strategy will work. If you want the full challenge, attack it.
2 of 9: Have one person go in with lots of HPs and fire resistance spells. They will get knocked back and fried by the breath weapon.
3 of 9: Then, have them and everyone else except people with less than about 75 HPs attack, fully hasted and protected. The dragon may charm some, so keep a mage/priest with Dispel Magic handy.
4 of 9: If you get really, really lucky, magic will work on the dragon, but it isn't a safe bet, he has really good magic resistance.
5 of 9: Use the tried and true Breach-Haste-Beatdown strategy to nail the sucker.
6 of 9: Another cheaper way to kill the dragon is to cast Monster Summoning 1, 2 or 3.
7 of 9: Send the creatures at the dragon one at a time, he will use his breath weapons and his wing attack, and you're now free to go in and attack him! Yay!
8 of 9: Take items off his corpse. They include red dragon scales, and shield cloak.
9 of 9: If you have a paladin in your group, you can actually use that Holy Avenger +5 on the dragon. Nice, huh?
