Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal - Ascension Solo, Part 1

This is a solo of the final battle from David Gaider's Ascension, a downloadable module intended to make Throne of Bhaal more challenging and rewarding. In the final battle, Amelyssan summons "The Five" all at once and you need to fight them together (they are also much stronger than they were in Vanilla ToB). This is my first successful solo of the battle. I use a fighter/thief/mage which I used to solo the entire trilogy on Insane Difficulty--for this battle, however, I had to turn things down to core rules. I don't use any cheats or modifications. The level cap is still in place, and all the items are from vanilla ToB. The special abilities my character uses are part of the Ascension module. By no means is this a perfect solo. Though I do fairly well in the beginning, the fight with Melissan is drawn out and sloppy. I've provided captions throughout the video explaining what I do. Feel free to turn them off if you find them distracting.

Enjoy!

How do you have assasination as a fighter mage thief? I thought that only belonged to the Assassin subclass. Also, where is that focus spell from? Ascension mod only?

[yaaaaaaaaaaaarghhh]

@Drayenomg Any thief can get assassination as a high-level ability. Only multiclassed thieves can select it more than once though. Single and dual-classed characters can only take it once. Yes, Focus is exclusive to ascension.

Amazing man, I finished ToB and Ascension both for the first time yesterday. Full six person good aligned party. I died like 10-15 times before I could beat her. Imagine my satisfaction and joy! Haha It was worth it ;)
