Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints

How should I handle the fight with Black Garius?

  • 1 of 10: He's in the large central chamber in the Inner Sanctum.
  • 2 of 10: Move into the central chamber to finally find Neeshka, who Garius had apparently been torturing.
  • 3 of 10: Garius will then show up and, after a conversation with Bishop, he'll try to talk your companions into fighting for him instead of you.
  • 4 of 10: There isn't much you can do about this now, but if you've gained enough influence with them during the course of your adventures, they'll resist Garius' call.
  • 5 of 10: When the battle starts, there'll be a wall of energy between you and Garius, and he'll summon a balor to appear near you.
  • 6 of 10: When you regain control, immediately pause the game and level up Neeshka if she rejoined you, then quicksave.
  • 7 of 10: While everyone else attacks the balor that appears next to you, run your main character to the west and around the semicircle of force walls so that you don't get trapped.
  • 8 of 10: Run into the area where Garius and his allies are, then quickly attack Qara or whoever joined Garius. (Even if you drained their spells earlier, they'll seem to somehow have some left.)
  • 9 of 10: After you've taken care of Garius' allies, get everyone you can to start hacking on Garius himself.
  • 10 of 10: When he finally goes down, that should be it for this battle, though there may be a few leftover creatures to kill if you didn't get them all earlier.
