Let's Play Baldur's Gate 2 587 Watcher's Keep Demi-Lich

[IsilionNELE]

the easiest way to deal with that demi-lich is use a scroll of protection from undead on your characters with the mace of disruption. that's to the scroll all undead will ignore him so you can just wail away

Are you by any chance doing a blind run? Forgive me if i am stating the obvious, but :

Demi-lich imprisonment can be tanked with Spell Immunity : Abjuration, any form of enrage or, if one is high enough level, Spell trap.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@Tad30s It's not blind--I played the game when it first came out and at least one time in between then and now--but my memory is so poor, it might as well be (I don't recall the story line, etc.). :P This is my first time playing as a mage, though, so it's been a learning experience in itself. And thanks. I think she employs just that strategy (Spell Immunity: Abjuration) in the next video.

Poor Jan... At least however, he wasn't killed, but his fate remains a terrible one nonetheless.

Also, thank you for that clarification on lichs and demi-lich's, I had always thought a demi-lich was a lich that had not yet achieved full lichdom, or whatever it would called.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@NS13Guardian Sure. It is strange that they use "demi-", even if an accurrate reflection of their physical form. The only similar term I can think of is "demihuman," which also doesn't signify a lesser creature--just different.

9:43 wouldn't Mislead just be enough to kill Lich? Unless he cast truesight..

[mynameisnotlilly]

@RiseofBane Yeah, I'm not sure. I think the assumption was that a demi-lich would be able to see through illusions, or cast something to dispel it if used. In fact, I'm surprised the demi-lich doesn't simply cast Dispel Magic!

[RiseofBane]

@mynameisnotlilly I thought there is no way to detect mislead anyhow, could I be wrong? I know some demons can see through invisible creatures regardless of game engines, but can demi-lich? hm.. Also is that true that the dispel magic can dispel Mislead??

[mynameisnotlilly]

@RiseofBane Mislead is dispelled by True Sight, but the decoy (not invisible caster) has to be within range, so it's easily exploited. ;) Dispel Magic should be able to dispel anything--except maybe "absorption" type protections, but even then, it will have done something (using up some of the absorption potential of the protection).

[RiseofBane]

@mynameisnotlilly well u could left decoy far outside demi-lich's room, so that way Lilly would never be detected right?

[mynameisnotlilly]

@RiseofBane I don't think the decoy can be left behind! :)

[RiseofBane]

@mynameisnotlilly sucks :P

[RiseofBane]

6:07 ROFL!

[RiseofBane]

3:33 all for Jan lol. So interesting. Hope he makes it !

[dstoner]

You sure Lilly didn't do a deal with the demi-lich first for the removal of Jan? I'm sure his Turnip breath is starting to cause issues!

[mynameisnotlilly]

@dstoner Heh... she might have considered that a fair trade: a gnome for a few high level scrolls? ;)

[RealArcalian]

I know it's not because she gives any kind of damn about Jan personally, but I'm still surprised she's going in after him.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@RealArcalian His contract isn't expired, yet! She still needs him to fulfill his obligations for as long as he's alive--imprisonment is no excuse! ;) As for the demi-lich, she would have likely wanted to confront him eventually anyway, in the hopes of recovering something powerful.

[ReclusiarchLP]

Jan: Imprisoment.

6 seconds of silence.

Tord laughs.

Hilarious! ;D

[mynameisnotlilly]

@ReclusiarchLP I'm sure Jan was squealing, though... we just couldn't hear him, imprisoned in the demi-lich's gem for a tooth. ;)
