Talk:Flail of Ages/@comment-90.59.203.254-20190407171424

It should be noted that in BG2 Enhanced Edition, at least in the current version 2.5.16.6, the Flail of Ages +4 (poison) and +5 are bugged.

None of their special effects will work against enemies with poison resistance. Admittedly that's quite a few, but that includes Ascension's bosses such as Tamah (Abazigal's wife), Amelyssan and most of her end game summons which are special brands of : Babaus, Alu-fiends, Mariliths, Glabrezzus, Cambions, Nabassus. Balthazar and Sarevok are also immune in the final fight.

Additionally, still in Enhanced Edition only, none of the effects of the Flail will work against undeads and golems. But that doesn't seem to be a bug, it seems to be intended somehow.

When I say none of the special effects will work, that includes all elemental damage AND slow. Free Action on the wielder does work however. The Flail basically becomes an 1d6+5 or +6 weapon with Free Action and nothing more.
