Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints
How do I get the goblet?
1 of 12: This one's the toughest.
2 of 12: You have to fight Irenicus' black dragon to get it.
3 of 12: Go to the area to the west of the main city map with the black dragon on it.
4 of 12: No matter what you say, he will eventually attack you.
5 of 12: This is probably the second hardest fight in the game. He has a very annoying attack that knocks most of your characters unconscious and knocks them back, and he will also breathe acid on your characters (also very annoying).
6 of 12: First of all, I suggest having someone with the shadow dragon armor equipped to protect from acid.
7 of 12: After that, cast Improved Haste on all your characters -- this is a must for fighting him, since you need to be able to get up to him fast and hit fast too.
8 of 12: Be sure to cast Breach on him when he puts up his defenses, or he'll be unhittable.
9 of 12: Cast some summoning spells too, since every little bit helps.
10 of 12: Once you're prepared, send in your fighters. They'll likely be thrown right back, but keep sending them forward.
11 of 12: Meanwhile, use your mages to cast your big-time offensive spells at him like Prismatic Spray or Abi-Delzim's Horrid wilting.
12 of 12: When you kill him, take the goblet and any other treasure.
