Baldur's Gate Wiki

The Yaga-Shura mage is a male human wizard enemy NPC found in the North Forest area during Chapter Eight.

This mage is "spawned" on the map triggered by the party crossing hidden proximity zone on the makeshift wooden bridge.

Gameplay[]

The wizard is labelled "Yaga-Shura Mage" he can see a Player Character he'll ReallyForceSpell cast a Contingency Stoneskin protection immediately.

After that, the mage will cast various spells as seen on the InfoBox as well as the general conditions that are used by the AI to try and do so.

The wizard will potentially engage a party member with its magical darts or staff, but probably only if its spells are depleted. He's non proficient with darts as well, so will likely have great difficulty hitting anyone.

If damaged the wizard is scripted to quaff a Potion of Superior Healing when its HP falls below 50%, but as he's so fragile, that might be too late, and he'll never get that action finished before being killed.
