Siege of Dragonspear Legacy of Bhaal Difficulty Guide Finale - Beating Belhifet
17In this final chapter, we'll face the two most challenging encounters in the endgame. Chapter 12 begins when we arrive at Dragonspear Castle after defending the coalition camp. A cutscene is triggered where our forces breach the castle walls and advance. Instead of joining the battle, our PC Berserker will drink various potions to buff himself. I recommend using the Potion of Mind Focusing, Potion of Fire Giant Strength, Potion of Heroism, Potion of Defense, and Oil of Speed. With all of these potions and then a further buff from casting Draw Upon Holy Might we will have the maximum Strength and Dexterity score of 25.
Once fully buffed and within the castle walls, we head north to trigger an encounter with Ashateil. Ashateil challenges our Player Character to a dual; if she loses, she will surrender the Crusader forces to ours. We agree to her challenge and when it begins, utilize The Stone Ally and Amulet of Abnormally Awesome Ankheg Summoning to summon both the Golem and two Ankhegs. Once our summons are on the field, we trigger Berserk and engage in melee. Ashateil will attack with fire spells so having a Batalista's Passport equipped gives us some needed fire resistance. When Ashateil gets low she'll cast Sanctuary, we'll use the time to heal and buff before finishing her once Sanctuary expires.
The last challenge of this game is Belhifet, the final boss of Siege of Dragonspear. Before the encounter begins we have three waves of enemies on the lift. Prior to making the ascent, we'll drink all the potions with 12-hour durations, as well as long-lasting defence spells like Stoneskin and Iron Skins. After the first wave, we'll drink all the potions with 2-hour durations, then after the second wave, we drink all the potions with 1-hour durations. Then after the final wave, we cast all our buffs, and right before the encounter starts we have Safana cast Spell Immunity: Abjuration. Before the battle begins we must ensure that all our damage dealers have +3 weapons or ammunition as Belehifet will ignore any damage from lower-tier weapons. Belhifet also has a fear aura and fire attacks so Potions of Fire Resistance and Potions of Clarity will be critical as well.
When the battle begins Belhifet will cast Dispel Magic against the closest party member, so have Safana advance while the rest of the party retreat. Safana will block the spell with Spell Immunity. Belhifet will be invisible but we can use Glint's Detect Illusion skill to target him anyway, The plan for this encounter is to have our party retreat and use summons to hold aggro, keeping the rest of our party alive while Safana disables Belhifet. Safana first casts Lower Resistance to reduce Belhifets Magic Resistance before following up with blasts from the Wand of Polymorphing. With luck and enough attempts, we should be able to reduce Belhifet's HP to 1, allowing our archers or Safana with a Wand of Frost to finish him off from range. Once Belhifet is done his minions will disappear, allowing us to focus fire Hephernaan.
And we've done it! Siege of Dragonspear conquered on Legacy of Bhaal! Coming up next: Baldur's Gate 2!
