But are you guys kidding? Ilyich is very easy in my opinion, you just need to AoE the room before the duergars even interact. And obviously, go in buffed. My pattern is usually Haste (before going in), Fireball, a couple of Jaheira summons and that's it, just point and click and make sure your party is train assisting each dwarf in the room. But most likely it's a Tactics mod thing tho... Gotta test it out, I only played the game with no mods.

The Planar Sphere boss (the mage dude - Tolgeris or something like that) and specially Kengaxx are INSANELY harder. Kengaxx is actually *impossible* if you attempt him the first time you arrive at the Docks (or any time before lvl 13+). Bodhi is an easy boss, but if you attempt it with no Death Ward at all (as I did in my first time playing the game), you can be pretty sure that at least half your party will die from Finger of Death / Slay Living, as these are the favorite spells the ~8 vampires with Bodhi love to spam.

Ruby-weapon for that matter too..
It's like, you gotta have special materia (master-summon, w-summon, quad-magic) etc.. to even stand a chance - Not to mention, Knight of the Round summon, which is quite hard to obtain..
Through years of playing, I almost never been able to attain that summon, I tried through chocobo-breeding..
Ironic thing is, if U can kill Ruby-weapon, u get a gold-chocobo as a reward.
I did eventually get it though, through chocobo-breeding.. but after that, I pretty much put down the game and haven't really messed w/ it since =[

Dude Tactics mod is like 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000x harder than normal BG.

It is fucking hardcore.
I have soloed BG1 a few times and this is absolutly nothing compared to tactics.

Tactic IIyich is the craziest thing ever:
3 druegars warriors ~ level 12 BUFFED like hell ( speed etc .... ) with good items ( like +1+2+3 ) using full health potion when they are low on hp
+ priest level 20 ( or mage ? ) with deva invocation
+ a demon immune to non magic weapon
+ a golem immune to almost everything ( don't really remember exactly ).

So basicly you have four "naked" level 7 chars, your best item is a dagger +1 ( well maybe a sword +2 if you did the djinn quest ).
I'm almost 100% sure that you can't beat them without using super lame strategy.

The unmoded part of the game are ridiculously soft compared to this.

read this if you want to laught. It took me 4 hours to beat the first level lol. And although i'm not the most experienced Baldur player around i know what i'm doing.
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=80850
I stopped after Maevar because it isn't even fun ( unmoded part of the game seems too easy and moded are just lame ).


And there are Tactics versions of Bodhi, Irenecus, Kangaxx, Friegkraag etc ...
Even Maevar ( the shittiest boss in normal BG ) is hard to beat with a level 11-12 team ( if you don't get the reflection shield it is painful ).

Irenicus from BG2, didn't play modded BG2 ever.

Ancients on hell of D2:LOD first play through. I've been soooo mad trying to kill them with quite a low level, they seemed unbeatable plus getting few more levels didn't help at all, really they win hardest boss title hands down. Esp. considering that they aren't even final bosses.

King's Bounty final fight (hard to call it "boss" since you fight with armies in that game) - overall game difficulty is really high, but final boss was really pain in the arse, and the way this game is constructed made it even harder - limited exp-pool (enemies don't re-spawn like in hack'n'slashes or jRPGs) + exp requirements rise way higher with each level but opponents don't give THAT much more exp.

Dunno why people think put any of the jRPG games' bosses here, they aren't hard once you hit max lvl, which is not that hard - this genre is mostly about grinding. They are more annoying than hard - just because jRPG's designers have this stupid habit of making final battles lasting like 2-3 hours with all these transformations and comebacks of bosses. It's kind of Power Rangers-like Japan freakness lol Megazord, hiperzord, hiperultrazord T_T

D2 and BG2 *normal* are not hard if you know what you can do.
The hardest fights in BG2 are actually the first mages, because you most likely lack the spells you would want in a fight against mages (i hated this wizard guy in the second thieves guild quest, sometimes i couldn't even break fear at that time and he fears, paralises and does a ton of other nasty stuff).
After you get the important spells everything is a matter of preparation/knowledge.

Ascension is way harder (Abazigal - 2 Dragons at once, tons of lesser wyrms/salamanders other stuff is when it slowly becomes really hard), Melissan is even worse (you fight all the Bhaalchilds + Irenicus + Bodhi (or Balthazar).. At once ore something like this iirc.

Tactics is again on a whole other level... I question the sanity of people that actually finished BG2 with this mod .


Icewind Dale 2 was also pretty hard, somewhere between BG2 and Ascension.

W-summon Knights of the Round, mimic over and over.

Kill him before he casts Aire Tam Storm because if he does then all your party dies instantly. Even with final attack + phoenix, I couldn't set up the W-summon knights of the round mimic rotation again, so I was screwed anyway. That's how I killed it anyway. Ruby weapon was much easier for me, because he _only_ removed 2 of my party members from the fight, rather than killing them all at once with Aire Tam Storm ><

Aire Tam Storm did 1111 damage per materia on your character. Since at that point in time you're likely carrying like 16 materia or something per character that's why you die.

Viscidus was not a hard fight for alliance... it was just a stupid one that wasn't worth the effort to do it.

Sapphiron I wouldn't consider hard either. There was a "critical hp" point where you got so much HP from world buffs that the fight became a joke. I remember barely being able to keep up with Sapphirons damage output going on just consumables and getting maybe to like 70% and then we go ahead and kill him first try with world buffs.

C'thun was damn hard though, I loved that fight.
