Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II Hints II (PS2)

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II is a role-playing game, the sequel to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, developed by the same Black Isle. It was released for PlayStation 2 on December 2, 2004 in the United States and for the Xbox gaming console on January 20, 2004, also in the United States.

Dark Alliance II offers two more playable characters than the original game. We now have a cast composed of Dorn Redbear, who is human and classed as a barbarian, which makes him good in melee but vulnerable to magic and missiles; Vhaidra Uoswiir, who is a drow and classed as a monk, with his fists as his only weapon of choice; Ysuran Auondril, a necromancer that is also an elf, which makes him a capable caster of spells related to death and the dead; Borador Goldhand, a dwarf classed as a rogue, with abilities like setting traps and picking pockets; and Allessia Faithhammer, a human cleric who plays a backup role of supporting spell casters. Each of the characters is offered the ability to complete one quest that takes them to a heroic class, which makes them more powerful.

Yet another unlockable character joins Drizzt Do'Urden in the form of Artemis Entreri, a human assassin that double wields the weapons Charon's Claw and Defending dagger.

The plot evolves around a vampire lord and his quest to gain control of an ancient wizard den, called the Onyx Tower. The player must complete a series of quests to stop the vampire count from achieving his objective.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Defeating Argesh

To defeat Argesh, the leader of the Hands of Glory, you need to get a long range weapon. Stand close to the row of boxes where there is a gap so that you can hide from Argesh's underlings. Shoot or throw your ranged weapon through the gap to hit Argesh. Shoot him until he dies.

Defeating Basilisk

A quick way to escape from the beams that the Basilisk shoots at you is to jump until you are not slow anymore.

Defeating Green Slimes

When battling the Green Slimes in the Sewers, you need to use weapons that have large damage attacks, such as swords and maces. When attacking the slimes, hang around the edge of a corner and let them come to you. Then, ambush them when they are close enough to your character. This is the best way to battle in the Sewers, and it saves your health potions.
