Hi! I'm a German who knows English a little bit. Probably I will learn English more and more in my whole life and it will get improved step by step. I'm not offended at all if you point out mistakes to me as a native speaker and improve my stuff on articles etc. or The Black Pits II: Gladiators of Thay Walkthrough (Strategy) by Gejadus concerning grammar and spelling.

I love to play Baldur's Gate, especially BG II, Enhanced Edition. I'm playing BG II EE on the second hardest level (difficulty level HARD) and when I finally played The Black Pits II I was surprised to see that I couldn't defeat The Winged. So I was wondering...I found and played different solutions and want to present them here. The Black Pits II in itself is already a great game and tons of fun!

My favorite character in BG I+II, EE is Dorn of course! It was an exciting moment to see him show up in BG I, EE before the Mines of Nashkel. He's extremely well created, though evil, and a 'must' when I play an evil party. Dorn and Korgan (he's a tank!) together are invincible! ;-)

In Thron of Bhaal Sarevok shows up again and he seems to be even stronger than Dorn, especially when you give him the Psion's Blade! I saw a hit from Sarevok with this double handed sword that was over 200 hitpoints!

I prefer to play good parties in BG II, led by Keldorn (Carsomyr) and assisted by Anomen who finally gets Crom Faeyr.

For a long time I thought that the strongest character is a Fighter (Berserker) - Cleric (Dual-Class, human: Crom Faeyr (+++++) and Flail of Ages (+++++); Globe of Blades) with all his spell abilities. I was mistaken. A Fighter Mage (Multi-Class, non-human race) is much stronger by being able to use Time Stop and Greater Whirlwind Attacks! For some moments I thought that a Sorcerer is superior to a Fighter Mage. It seemed so by playing a Black Pits II Gladiators of Thay Solo Walkthrough on the easiest difficulty level! But playing Black Pits II on Core Rules showed me that the Fighter Mage is better! The Fighter Mage could easily defeat Dormamus and later The Winged and her companions. For the Sorcerer it was extremely difficult to defeat Dormamus without being able to use magic. The Sorcerer seems to struggle in the Final Battle as well; but probably I just haven't found the right strategy yet. The Fighter Mage defeated The Winged on difficulty level HARD! He's doing extremely well right now on his Solo Walkthrough on level INSANE.

My favorite Solo Protagonist is a Fighter / Mage! He/She has access not only to all powerful spells but to all great weapons as well! So the Fighter Mage is extremely flexible and just brilliant! My favorite weapons are the Axe of the Unyielding and Blackrazor!

Plan after finishing the Black Pits II on Level INSANE is to make a Fighter Mage Solo Walkthrough in BG II, EE. Of course I need a wife with me on my adventures so I will choose Nalia as a Mage Thief. ;-) Just a pity that she can't be romanced.

My good Party: Fighter / Mage and Nalia (Thief - Mage (Dual-class; human): 2 Mages! (2 members). I just played the Dark Moon Monk in the Black Pits II and I'm impressed by his power! So I'm wondering if I should let Rasaad join the Fighter Mage and Nalia on their journeys. I always thought that monks are weak - they are really in the beginning - but on high levels they are Killing Machines! Difficulty level should be HARD.

Regarding an evil party I'll play a Fighter / Mage as well and I will choose Dorn Il-Khan as a Blackguard for my team! He's extremely powerful! See Gejadus' Solo Walkthrough (Strategy) 3.5 Blackguard Solo Walkthrough. Because I'm not familiar with Thieves and their Trap Skills I will choose a Thief as well. Probably Hexxat.

My evil Party: Fighter / Mage, Dorn Il-Khan, Hexxat (3 members). It started playing with these guys already on level HARD. I enjoy it a lot!

By the way if you're playing on level HARD sometimes other enemies/creatures show up than on level Core Rules!

My personal Walkthrough for BG II,EE :

- Rescuing the slaves (part 1 + part 2)

- Aerie's Adventure (Ring of Influence: Charisma +18)

- Hexxat (play only a part in Dragomir's cave first)...Use Hexxat for getting Daystar and the Silver Horn of Valhalla (upgrade: diamond; Beljuril jewel > inside the chicken > Umar Hill). Steal a Ring of Regeneration from Ribald!!

- Watcher's keep (part of level 1 > Golem book): Buy Firetooth +4

- Nalia's Adventure > Stronghold

- I bought the Robe of Vecna in Ribald's trade store!

- Umar Hills (Ilbratha > Mirror Image)

- Trademeet (Belm; Shield of Harmony)

- Finishing off Dragomir

- Exploring all the graves at the graveyard area

- Kittix

- Sewers (the Battle against the 6)

- Try to catch the Skinner in the Bridge District - Kill his Mate Fael in the Umar Hills. Don't kill him at once! Wound him only! Three Mages will show up!

- Haer'Dalis' Adventure (Rod of resurrection; Boots of Speed)

- Valygar's Adventure (Ring of the Ram; Ogre Gauntlets)

- Finishing Watcher's keep level 1 (Foebane)

- Temple District (Celestial Fury) - Rasaad is doing great by using Celestial Fury. My Fighter Mage is using Flail of Ages and Nalia Firetooth +4. When Rasaad finally has reached level 18 or so I'll let him fight only with his fists! Forget about Celestial Fury then! Give it to the Fighter / Mage ;-). Rasaad will become a Killing Machine by only using his fists! Learned in Black Pit II!

- Buy Balduran's Shield as preparation for the next Adventure: Keldorn's Adventure (Gauntlets of Dexterity)

=> The Fighter /Mage has reached 1 500 000 (750 000/750 000) exp.points now.

- I bought Vhailor's Helm and the Fortress Shield

- Neera's Adventure

- Black Dragon (Temple Ruins) - I failed on Level Hard! Several times I was close. Mislead didn't help. This Dragon is strong on level Hard and can heal himself completely like The Winged. I have to come later here again with the Fighter /Mage, Nalia and Rasaad.

- Red Dragon (Firkraag) - Probably I won't manage to kill the Red Dragon with this low level group. I have to come back after having rescued Imoen.

The good Party will kill all the Vampires....NOT on Bodhi's side.

- Meeting with Aran Linvail (Amulet of Power). After Linvail's first two tasks the Fighter / Mage has reached 2 000 000 exp.. His weapons: Flail of Ages and Celestial Fury. The Monk (level 16) will fight without weapons from now on. After Linvail's third task to defeat the Vampires I decided to check if I would already be able to defeat Kangaax and get the Ring of Gaxx. Thanks to playing Black Pits II I knew that it would be good to get the Staff of the Magi first in order to use Spell Trap! So I went to the Twisted Rune Building in the Bridge District and got access by using a Rogue Stone. I was totally surprised how easily the Fighter /Mage, Nalia and Rambo Rasaad overcame the Twisted Rune Company. Happy to hold the Staff of the Magi in my hands I went on. I used Oil of Speed and Spell Trap and defeated the first Kangaax guard quite fast. The next one too and the third one? Hm. A little bit challenging with these three low level guys on level Hard but it worked with the right strategy! I tell you what I did. The Fighter / Mage was wearing the Boots of Speed and drunk Oil of Speed. I used Spell Trap and put the Staff of the Magi aside and used two weapons +4: Daystar and Usuno's Blade. I summoned the Berserker Warrior (Horn of Valhalla) and a Skeleton in front of the tomb (grave). Nalia was standing with Firetooth +4 (weapon +4!) in the left corner. Rasaad opened the grave and ran away. The third Kangaax guard attacked the Berserker Warrior by using Time Stop. I didn't mind. Afterwards he fired a fireball around him. Now it was time for the Fighter / Mage to attack him (without Time Stop and Whirlwind Attack). He died. The real Kangaax showed up. Rasaad attacked him with Sun Soulray (see article Monk) and it harmed Kangaax pretty bad by 27 Hitpoints (Ring of the Ram works well too)! But Kangaax took revenge and imprisoned Rasaad. The Fighter / Mage got angry and slaughtered Kangaax (55 000 exp points). But I wasn't delighted and had to replay it. Sure I would finally get Rasaad back after coming back form the Underdark by using a script roll of Freedom in the tomb but I didn't want to wait so long. Ok. This time Rasaad stayed out of Battle and the three moved on to the Asylum Spellhold Island in possession of the Ring of Gaax! Great!

(I told you in the Gejadus' Walkthrough already ' How to defeat The Winged?' that defeating Kangaax might not be an easy task but defeating The Winged and her evil companions is another league. I just got the confirmation for this.)

Rasaad has reached level 18 already (2 250 000 exp) and is incredibly strong already! Rambo Rasaad!

The Gameplay on level Hard becomes already nearly too easy for the Fighter / Mage, Nalia and Rasaad. Should I switch to level INSANE already?

Personal note: Don't forget Rasaad's Adventure

So here you have an impression how I play BG II, EE...let's hope that there will be a great Baldur's Gate III one day!

After having played these two parties I might consider a real Solo Walkthrough BG I - Throne of Bhaal by playing a Fighter Mage. My time for playing is in God's Hands! I might not have time at all!

Great to have this Baldur's Gate Wiki here!
