Koshi is a male fighter who is found on the second floor of the Guarded Compound in Athkatla's Temple District.
If Gorion's Ward and party intrude and decide to explore the second floor, Koshi will attack along with the rest of his group, including Sion, Ketta, Maferan, Stalman and Olaf Rassmusen, providing the party with quite a tough battle.
Gameplay[]
- Koshi is a powerful Kensai that can deal out a lot of damage very quickly by dual-wielding Celestial Fury and a Katana +1 while hasted by Oil of Speed, making him a force to be reckoned with.
- He also has his movement rate increased by 2.
Notable Loot[]
Celestial Fury[]
In addition to 1d10+3 (slashing) damage, each hit from Celestial Fury can Stun (save vs spell) with a 5% chance of +20 electrical damage. Further, once per day its wielder can cause Blindness, and call a Lightning Strike (10d6 electrical, save vs Spell for half).
Bugs[]
- In the classic
Baldur's Gate II:
Shadows of Amn (2000)
This icon indicates content from the original Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn campaign. game, Koshi was a fighter with no kit; therefore it was not against 2e rules to equip a helmet. - Koshi's kit was upgraded in the Enhanced Edition to kensai, although the helmet remains, perhaps because the developers missed it, or just decided not to remove it.
