Baldur's Gate/Characters/Foes: Difference between revisions

:: '''Bhaal'''

'''Voiced by:''' Kevin Michael Richardson }}

:: '''Sarevok'''

'''Voiced by:''' Kevin Michael Richardson }}

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]] - Justified and a twisted version. Since he lost his essence, he's trying to be CHARNAME's right-hand man if/when CHARNAME ascends to godhood.

* [[Determinator]] - As a deceased Bhaalspawn without his essence he shouldn't be capable of doing ''anything'', but he ''still'' forces himself into a ghostly existence to bargain for his resurrection through sheer willpower.

* [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]] - Definitely applies to him, considering you get get him at the last leg of your journey.

* [[Evil Sounds Deep]] - When you're voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, this is inevitable.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]] - In BG1, he's immune to all types of energy, effectively making him immune to all direct damage and area-of-effect spells... except for the [[Non-Elemental|energy neutral]] Magic Missile, a level one spell.

* [[You Remind Me of X]]

::'''Tamoko'''

'''Voiced by:''' Diane Pershing }}

:: '''Jon Irenicus / Joneleth'''

'''Voiced by:''' David Warner }}

* [[A God Am I]] - Irenicus' original, and ultimate, goal.

* [[Badass Boast]] - Spoken while annihilating several enemy mages.

* [[Chewing the Scenery]] - When you are voiced by David Warner, it's inevitable.

* [[Complete Monster]] - If there's anyone who proves that a villain can be both this and a [[Magnificent Bastard]], he's the one.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] - Irenicus flat out ignores any attempt to squeeze his plans out of him. You have more luck tricking his flunkies and his sister than you do him.

* [[Planet Heck]] - Irenicus didn't plan to fight you in Hell, but he has no problem with doing so once it happens.

* [[Revenge]] - Irenicus' ''other'' goal. He was lucky that becoming a god and killing a ton of elves were not only not mutually exclusive, but achieving the former was most easily accomplished by doing the latter.

* [[Silence, You Fool]] - "Silence, dog! You have no purpose but to die by my hand."

* [[That Man Is Dead]] - What Irenicus says about Joneleth when Ellesime confronts him at the end.

:: '''Bodhi'''

'''Voiced by:''' B.J. Ward }}

:: '''Kangaxx'''

BG2's bonus boss, Kangaxx the lich is either the hardest boss in the game or one of the easiest. You meet him as a skull, and he asks you to track down his body. If you do so, he assembles himself into a lich and attacks you. After you kill him, he turns into a ''demi-lich'', a floating skull that spams imprisonment, the most powerful spell in the game. Unlike many bonus bosses, he's not so much more powerful than late game bosses that fighting him is pointless, as you'll still find challenge after him. Of note: Kangaxx has the highest to hit requirement of any enemy in the franchise. He's not merely immune to non-magical weapons, he requires +4 weapons to even harm. Until the very late game, there are only three +4 weapons even available, and two are staves, which are effectively useless in combat.

* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]

* [[Shmuck Bait]] - Anyone who falls for Kangaxx asking him to reassemble his body kind of deserves to be imprisoned forever, but it's the only way to earn the single best ring in the series.

* [[Spam Attack]] - As a lich, Kangaxx has all of the standard lich abilities: powerful spells, the ability to cast them immediately after one another (which normally requires an additional, special spell). As a demi-lich, Kangaxx has literally only two attacks, which he will spam like nothing else: Imprisonment, which instantly removes a party member and sends him or her to the center of the earth to be put into eternal stasis (effectively a death that requires a more exotic raise dead spell), and Wail of the Banshee, which is a simple area of effect save or die spell. He will use both constantly.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]] - The demi-lich is the most powerful undead enemy in the game... but it's still undead, so using a cheap, available everywhere Protection from Undead scroll will make the battle easy.

:: '''Amelissan The Blackhearted'''

'''Voiced by:''' Heidi Shannon }}

*** Also, before she reveals her true nature Melissan's dialogue makes her sound genuinely sincere and innocent, even extremely naive. Before she drops the facade, the only way to see that she is evil is to judge her by the consequences of her actions. In a world of cartoonishly over-the-top villains, she seems just too damned normal to be evil...

*** Even unmodded, you can let her know that you don't trust her. Right after the fight with Yaga-Shura:

'''CHARNAME:''' [one of the dialogue options] This had better not be lies, Melissan. I'm in no mood. }}

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] - Sarevok was just a man, and Irenicus merely had his own power and a divine tree's power he stole. Melissan, however, had nearly all the strength of the god of murder but still goes down if you stab her a lot.
