Need Advice: How DO I kill DRIZZT Do'Urden?!?!
Calin Culianu
got some good items and, well, I just would like to whack him. You
know, make him sleep with the fishes...
But how do I actually DO it without cheating? He's 100% resistent to
any form of magic and I can't get close enough to slice him with my
swords because he hits 100% of the time (no matter what he rolls),
killing my characters in just 1 or 2 attacks.
So how can it be done? How can Drizzt be killed? I've heard people
have done it--was it just through cheating? Are my characters just too
weak?
I'm playing multiplayer with a level 6 fighter-mage with kick ass items
(imported from another finished game) and a level 3 fighter-mage. I also
have Minsc and Imoen, both 1 level greater than when I found them.
ANY help would be appreciated.

Kramp
while still neutral (do this after killing the gnolls, but don't talk to
him!!!). Skeletons seem to be the preferred subject. You can then go of and
do other stuff while the skeletons start hacking him. It supposed to take a
while. The method I used was to surround hime with four of my charcters (3
may be possible) and remove them from the party. When surrounded, shoot
'im!. And yes, he has very good stuff. People think that this unbalances the
game, but in my opinion Bioware wouldn't have given him that stuff if it
wasn't worth the effort. Anyway, goodluck.

Edwin and Dynahier. The key is monster Summonning and wands of monster
summoning. And arrows. Lots of pointy arrows.
First, use Edwin, Imoen and Dynaheir to summon battle fodder. Lots of them.
(Imoen was a dual classed level 6 theif and level 9 transmuter. Dynahier
used a wand of monster summoning)
I sent the monsters towards Drizzt, talked to him, and agreed to help him
fight the evil gnolls.
As he ran joyfully towards the gnolls, the hobgobs, ghasts, wolves, xvarts
and kobolds jumped in and surrounded him. Completely. Then, my party began
shooting (Projectiles) + 2 at him. Every so often, my 4 spellcasters would
summon more monsters to beat Drizzt....
It took about 10 summons and many, many arrows, but eventually, when the
smoke cleared, scores of dead bodies lay around Drizzt's body.
I took the frostbrand, gave Bruenor's chainmail to Khalid(I use a plate
armour + 3 I found in Durlags' tower), and went o beat up on random
monsters. Hey, my party didn't break a sweat at all. Not a single hit point
lost! Of course, if you allow Drizzt to hit you, you're as good as
dead......
For lower level parties, Haste might needed to be added into the equation.
Remember, Drizzt only has what, 60-70 HP. 3 summons II at the same time at
any given time during the fight should work.....
And my ranger char has a strength of 21 and 23 dex. Man, I love them
manuals........

Nope, you get both swords (a little save/load wouldn't hurt,
neither would a potion of master thieving), but no armor.
As for murdering a hero - isn't that the childhood dream of
every EVIL character?

As I have heard, not with the patch or ToSC installed. But maybe that
isn't true. Anyway, you still miss the nice armor.

He dastroyed Creshinibon and banished the tanar-ri, whatshisname.
He dropped a stalactite on Lloth's temple.
He did lots of things to balance other things out.

No, I agree with that, both bards and druids kinda s*ck. But I wanted
to try them both to see if my feeling about them was right. And it
was. Actually, the bard isn't so very bad: I play her like a
wand-wielding archer who makes sure my thief does not have to
specialize in pickpocketing. But in the end, I guess I prefer a mage
or a thief dual-classed as mage over a bard. I never use the bardsong,
which is the only thing that makes a bard special. And don't start me
about druids - Aargh!

/skeletons etc to hold him up while your hasted fighters attack with arrows.
Try large damage arrows such as acid/ice arrows, also , those that poison
him (he occasionally fails a save). As an alternative I tried using my main
character , (with plenty of potions of speed), to attack while my party hid
on the other side of map . Attack , then run when he closes ...and repeat
... He really dosn't have such a low AC, the max in AD & D is AC -12 (for a
dragon) but I guess the programmers wanted to discourage such things. Its a
real pain when your primary figher , thaco -2 , misses on a 19 ...
Drizzt himself has also way too many hp's, although he is in AD& D terms , i
forget but roughly he is
Fighter lv 17 , ranger 15? attacks per round 5 , if he hits greater than
what was needed he has a variable chance of automatic kill...also as a drow
on the surface (for years) he has no magic resistance (but the programmers
disagree).

An easiest way: animate/summon, order them to attack, and leave Drizzt out
of
your field of view. Your skeletons attack him, he does not respond. One dead
drow coming up.

I also decided to try a bard and a druid, so a used Eldoth and Faldorn
in the same party. Eldoth is actually rather useful: free identify and
free remove fear helps and he gets a fair share of the kills (about
12%). A bard and a conjurer are a great combination.
Faldorn, on the other hand, is probably the most useless charcter in the
game.

one-on-one fight. It is possible to hit him with a lower roll than 20,
if you use a blunt or crushing weapon and a potion of storm giant
strength. A level 8 dwarven fighter with ++++ in spiked, Kiel's
morningstar and good armor (golden girdle is a must!) will probably have
a fair chance to kill him.

No he didn't (on the first). He did, in fact, give the Crystal Shard
into the hands of a powerful enemy...
As for Errtu, does self-defense really count?

His sort-of girlfriend did that.

Brought an undead drow assassin upon a peaceful colony
of sentient fungi-men! Launched an unprovoked attack on
a small band of giants! Brought the above tanar'ri back into
this world!

Did not! An idiot mage summoned him, and Errtu dispelled the circle of
protection.
Giants were evil...hell, I can't even convince myself. Get him!

No, all it takes is a thief's mentality. And a chaotic alignment, perhaps?

Uh, a theif can't be any lawful alignment. Only chaotic and neutral ones. I
figure Tasslehoff was chaotic neutral. He was insane.

Shrug. He's a walking, talking Identify spell. That can be handy. Not
my first choice, but in my most recent game I've actually figured out
what on earth Garrick is good for.

According to 'Dragons of Mystery' (a Dragonlance Game Accessory), Tas is
neutral.

A "tax collector" would be lawful neutral in my opinion. He has no
concern for the welfare of people, he just follows orders from the
government, whether the tax laws are fair or not.
A "lawful good" thief would be stealing in the best interest of
people. What about a thief who only steals cursed items?

Or a character like Robin Hood. But are they really lawful? Good, yes. But
wouldn't he/she be more like NG than LG? Even if you steal things out of the
goodness of your heart, it may be difficult to find a law that allows your
behaviour. Unless we're talking about a personal set of rules, values and
laws, which would be more consistent with a chaotic alignment.

Robin Hood is definitely Chaotic Good, and the Sherriff is Lawful Evil,
those two are, I think, the most-used examples when talking of alignments
(Aren't they used in AD&D manual? I forget where I put it, so I can't check)

After reading the descriptions of the alignments in the manual I would
guess that he is Chaotic Good - I quote:
"Their actions are guided by their own moral compass wich, although
good, may not always be in perfect agreement with the rest of society"
Sounds like Tasslehoff to me :)

work for you. I have tried charming various
monsters and making them attack Drizzt while I
left the screen, and as many people have said, it
works, but you will lose ten points of your
reputation. I found a better way, that requires a
little patience.
To kill Drizzt, I entered the map screen from the
left. I had Imoen hide in shadows and sneak over
to the gnolls and Drizzt. I waited for him to
kill one of the gnolls and then I had Imoen stab a
gnoll. This causes her to leave shadows. Next
talk to Drizzt while the gnolls are all around.
Tell him that you will not help him and that your
mind is made up....he is on his own.
It is important here that the gnolls attack Drizzt
and not Imoen. Sometimes they ignore Drizzt
completely but go after her. With the steps
listed above, the gnolls should go after Drizzt.
Place the cursor on Drizzt and hit to talk to him.
Keep hitting to talk to him. Hit is once every
second or two. He will talk, but there will be no
text. Meanwhile, he will have like 10 gnolls
attacking him. They must roll an attack of 20 to
score a hit, and will take some time to kill him.
Every now and then, a gnoll might attack Imoen,
but she was only hit twice for me:) Drizzt on the
other hand was not so lucky. After about five
minutes of continuous clicking, he fell over dead.
I brought my party in and cleaned up the gnolls. I
claimed Drizzt's equipment as my own!
And the best part....NO reputation penalty!!!!
The gnolls killed him....not me...
