as an archer I know how does it feel

I’ve just completed my first blind playthrough of the series (Played as a Lawful Good Cavalier Paladin). This fight was the stuff of legends. My conflict with Firkraag lasted almost the entirety of SoA. I first met him around Level 9, and he kicked my ass. Every time my party leveled up, I would go back and try my luck again, getting closer and closer with every attempt. Around level 14, I left the Underdark in pursuit of Irenicus and Bodhi, and regained access to the world map. The final clash with the Shattered One was close, so I decided to dare the dragon one final time. I marched back through Windspear Mountain, Dragon Blade in hand, determined to end this vicious strife once and for all. “Ah, well. It is... as they say... your funeral. Time to die, manling! HAHAHAHA!” The battle was long, arduous, and absolutely glorious. I finally got to hear this epic soundtrack in it’s entirety. After a mighty struggle, I struck a critical hit against Firkraag, bringing down the red tyrant for good and for all. I was elated to discover that within Firkraag’s hoard was easily the best sword for my class: Carsomyr, the Holy Avenger. As you would expect, it never left my grasp for the rest of my playthrough. Overall, it was one of the greatest highlights of my Baldur’s Gate adventure. 10/10 would slay again.

Breach and Feebleminded help too

By far one of the best moments of the game. Facing a massive beast that has 10 times your size, power, magical might, and intellect. You start cocky as usual, sending your arrows and magic missles his way as if he was a regular boss... only for your entire party to be thrown aside by a flame attack like leaves by a gust of wind, left with little to no HP and unconscious after a single second of the fight. Then a flurry of hostile spells flies your way, incapacitating most of your team instantly. Before Firkraag spits fire again, most of your team is either dead, or impossible to control. What an epic fight this was. I must've tried it more than a hundred times with my original team, bringing new group members, potions, spells, summons and builds every time to think of an optimal strategy. And even years later when I became a BG2 pro and completed the game with a solo character dozens of times without using mods or exploits i still perceived this to be one of the most challenging and my favorite fights in the game. This fight is the very definition of epic.

He's played be the rules as a common encounter and not a silly event (like many modern games would do it), he's OP in comparison to the things you kill just before him in his dungeon (Goddamn Kamikaze Kobolds lol), he *is* using magic against you as well and his treasure is even worth doing it. He's an optional boss enemy for a reason. Firkraag wasn't yet topped by another encounter, the only thing that got close to it were the other dragons in BGII and perhaps the Adra Dragon in PoE1 came somewhat near it. But yes, if you're not *exceptionally* good at employing all tricks in the game he *is* gonna give you a *very* hard time.

This should be submitted to the London Symphony Orchestra next time they do their 'Best of Gaming' covers. This song became ingrained in my head back in the day before fancy cheats and such! I *EARNED* that win. Buffed the hell out of my party after summoning some meat shields and stripped Firkraag's resistance and fought long and hard. And I'd never walk away. I wasn't going to let Firkraag think he'd won even for an instant. He tried to ruin my life, so I came into his house and shit on his couch. Oh, and killed his ass dead and wore it after a trip to Cromwell...

Ideal music and the conversation with the arrogant Dragon is under appreciated as it sets the stage for "You're Fucked."

In my first playthrough as a Fighter/Mage, the first dragon I encountered was Thaxxilssiliya. My average level 10ish party had to bust their ass for that fight (about 15 attempts). But when I met Firkraag later, it was easier. In my second playthrough as a Cavalier (has bonuses against dragons) I met Firkraag first (to take Carsomyr of course) and it was so difficult I had to level up before meeting him again. After finally finishing him off, went to Thax. This is how the shadow dragon died. Thax casts Protection from Magical Weapons and Stoneskin Aerie casts breach drinks haste potion starts attacking with Carsomyr Thax casts some dangerous spells at who is resists with MR and immunities Average duration melee fight. Thax dead. Breach, Haste and Carsomyr is a broken AF combination.

Firkraag should've been the main villain. Or at least he could've played a bigger part in the story. During the conversation, you realize he is well aware of what's going on, and he might know more about Irenicus than any other character. Waste of a great villain!

Firkragg could've certainly made for an interesting main antagonist. All the markings were there. He had a reason to kill you even though you had nothing to do with it. Considering that Firkragg does give your character the choice to live another day and go on to fight Irenicius since he was interested in how that battle would pan out. Although not in league with Irenicius; it nearly seems like once Irenicius is defeated Firkragg (if spared) might actually start to worry as he would see your characters power becoming an ever increasing threat to him if you came back to challenge him some day. I could definitely see him as the main antagonist in a follow up if your character chose to not kill him at the time.

Everyone went unconcious and got knocked back, and when we woke up and started attacking, everyone were killed one by one from about 6 hits. I never played dungeons&dragons so i had no idea how pretty much anything worked or what the spells did, but that part was one of the hardest i ever had, until i faced the mind flayers and Irenicus at the end. I still don't know alot about the game mechanics, but i've beaten the game once and as difficult the game is, it's still one of the best i ever played.

Music the scale of BG1+2 missing is the only thing I feel BG3 is not living up to so far.

Going through the game by myself for the first time (watched a playthrough a few years ago). I first encountered the dragon in the ruined temple (don't remember its name) as one of the first places i visited outside athkatla- it absolutely kicked my ass- I could barely touch it (even with buffs & summons). A few levels amd some good items later i came for Firkraag. He also kicked my ass but i could at least hurt him so with the help of quick-load (and quite a few of them) i took him down. I then returned to the ruined temple, prepared and assaulted the dragon. Imagine my suprise when this time, I kicked its ass almost without issue (Keldorn came close to dying but with help of some potions, didn't)... If you're wandering, my party is a pries of lathander, Keldorn, Valygar, Jaheira, Jan & Neera.

Many many years ago I had my party leader Ash from Evil Dead, chaotic neutral goofy warrior, with sounds and portrait. This fight starts, this music starts playing, I send him to charge alone like the fool braggart he is and he says the battlecries "you are going down!!" and "...whistle... let's go!!", that moment will be in my memory forever.

I was hoping BG3 would have this, perhaps remade in a similar fashion to what Demon's Souls did. Oh well, my wet dream didn't come true.

draconis is by the far the hardest dragon battle.Even his father,abazigal , isnt that hard compare to him

His father is a lightweight, compared to Draconis. Still the strongest enemy I conquered on my main character. Minsc took ol' Firkraag. I still found Firkraag more challenging since I went at him at a very low level.

Alton4 Yeah Draconis was definitely the hardest dragon in the series. While it's true to say Draconis probably wouldn't be the strongest ; his tactics made him a very nasty piece of work. A dragon is hard enough to beat but a tactical dragon that catches your party members of guard? Yeah nasty stuff. His father was most likely stronger but he was just brawn with no real noteworthy tactics and thus much easier than Draconis since it was pretty much just beat him up till he dies. It's definitely one of those battles that proves strength alone doesn't make a foe challenging; it's what they do. It's sort of like Firkragg; he's more powerful than the Shadow Dragon but because the shadow dragon refuses to let you summon monsters,protects from magical weapons and level drains party members, he is considerably harder to take down. Firkraggs tactics are easier to work around in general :)

+Aedan McInnes Dragon Battles were also way more dynamic, and each one different from the last one you fought, you had to delve deep into the complex tactics of D&D to beat each one. Not even comparable to hitting right trigger/right mouse over and over until the dragon falls over. Skyrim shouldn't even be compared to Baldur's Gate.

Try downloading the difficulty increase pack for demogorgon/bhaalspawn. Then try soloing the game on insane mode. I beat it using a sorcerer with max lvl max gear. Time stop, chain contingency, breach, breach, pierce magic, etc etc lower res, time stop, summon avatar, comet, comet, horrid wilting, timestop, wilting wilting wilting, wilting, dead. Dragon gets no moves. Only enemies u have to watch out for are enemies with immunity to time stop. The monk bhaalspawn, final boss, draconis was admittedly a pain in the ass, his father in the diff upgrade patch has 2 other dragons to fight along side him. You fight 3 dragons at the same time in that version. And on insane mode dmg is doubled etc etc. Try to solo using maxed sorc with proper spell choices. Ring of Gaxx, ring of prot +3, staff of power, amulet of power etc etc. In the increased diff version Demogorgon regenerates at an INSANE speed so you have to crush his mag def and kill him VERY quickly. Its best to use that spell that eliminates breaks between spell casting, and then walk off screen when demo uses his buffs and starts casting timestop to summon demons. Use a couple of chain/regular contingency debuffs on him before u walk off screen. U will be able to avoid agro of the snake ladies. Then you AOE him to death. Not very difficult. Only has roughly 250 hp or something like that. Demo still pales in comparison to the final boss fight in the patch tho. You have to fight all the bhaalspawn at the same time as that bitch. There are a few cheap ways to make it very ez so I don't use it, you can, before initiating the fight with the final boss, set up a TON of skull traps, use wish to reset spells becuz u cant rest, so basically u have infinite spell usage as long as u don't die, can use simacrulum/mislead/project image to multiply these effects especially against dragons. Think like 30 horrid wiltings hitting a dragon all at the same time with the dragons natural resistances demolished and reduced into negative values. Not a single dragon in the game can survive it.

Alas, the dragon failed its save upon Minsc’s second strike with the vorpal blade.

Firkraag is pleased.

remember my monk killed it with 1 punch. it like striking a lottery!

Yep. Quivering Palm is an instant-death attack, to which Firkraag isn't immune.

Hardest difficult and then he was a real challenge. Immune to magic, imminue to death, immune against all magic.

Damn, there was a talking red dragon, a - somewhat friendly, I think - silver dragon in the Underdark, a black one near the end (probably more), and endless other stuff inbetween and around (nothing feels like filler); this game is so adventurous. This is notably also the fight music against Lichs, which are close to end-boss difficulty but can be defeated with tactical approach in the middle.

There's also a shadow dragon in the temple of Amaunator, as well as a copper dragon that you can fight in the Nine Hells (only if you're evil, though). There are twin silver dragons you encounter if you do Dorn's bloody path companion quest (Enhanced Edition only). In Siege of Dragonspear, there's a green dragon near Boarskyr Bridge, as well as the ghost of a metallic (good) dragon who guards the entrance to the ruined city below Dragonspear Castle. There is also a young green dragon in the Forested Area that asks the Bhaalspawn for assistance. In TOB, there is a red dragon in Watcher's Keep, as well as a green dragon guarding the final seal. In Abazigal's Lair, there is Draconis, a brown dragon, guarding the entrance, and a green dragon bound by a geas cast upon her by Abazigal. She is forced to guard his inner sanctum. She can be freed by a scroll of reversal, at which point she'll give Abazigal's Wardstone to the Bhaalspawn. And of course there's Abazigal, your half-brother, himself. A very powerful blue dragon and fellow Child of Bhaal. Also, this track is used for the fight against Kangaxx, the demi-lich. Demi-liches are far, FAR worse than your standard run of the mill lich (which are also quite nasty in their own right).

Makes me wonder: what would be suitable music for a battle against Tiamat...?

ohhh, i remember when this music plays, shit gonna get real

first time i beat firkgraag was by setting thief traps by the entrance -> going back downstairs and resting -> coming back up and setting traps -> repeat. i did it like 20 times and half the time you'd be woken up with a fight when trying to rest. eventually i pulled firkraag to the traps and they one-shot him another time i beat him using literally only the boomerang dagger for 1 damage a throw, and all my party standing way back from the arch way which he was too big to get through

An evil as ancient as Faerûn itself but this time it's facing a God.

Have two mages, one throws three Lower Resistances with a Spell Trigger, the other throws three Chromatic Orbs. Problem dragon?

Probably need to throw Greater Malison + Doom at him as well, otherwise his saving throws will still negate the instant-death effect.

if dragons didnt exist this would still be the dragon battle music anyway
