Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II Hints III (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 attaining his objective.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Defeating the Harnak

To defeating the Wayfare Inn Boss, make sure you have a ranged weapon. Take out the underlings. Do not hit the Boss as he will not attack you until you attack him. Once all the underlings are dead, you can attack Harnak. When he starts to chase you, run towards the tables on the right. Jump to get over them. Once on the top side of the tables, line up on the corner closest to the fireplace.

Defeating Luvia's beasts

When fighting in Luvia's Laboratory, you will get to the end where she sends two beasts to attack you. Only go forward slightly. One of the beasts will chase you. Stay in the bottom portion of the room and use the crossbow on it until you defeat it.

Defeating Mordac

His "shadow" is what heals him so move your character in the arena farthest away from the shadow and Mordac will eventually make his way to you. Fight him by running around keeping tight circles while periodically hitting him. When you defeat him, he will disappear and you will fight him in the final battle again.
