Siege of Dragonspear Legacy of Bhaal Difficulty Guide Part 3 - Temple of Cyric
7Moving on to Chapter 9, we can reunite with Jaheria and gain an extra divine spellcaster. In Baldur's Gate 1, one divine caster is sufficient but by Seige of Dragonspear, both Clerics and Druids start to get powerful spells exclusive to them. In the previous video, we've already seen how powerful skeleton summons can be, and Jaheria brings the powerful spell Insect Plague which will help us through the rest of Seige of Dragonspear. The next dungeon is the Temple of Cyric, which presents two challenging encounters for players on Legacy of Bhaal difficulty.
Firstly, we face the Neothelid, this powerful serpent is an excellent candidate for a charge from the Wand of Polymorphing. Send in your Skeleton Warriors to trigger the encounter, and wait until you hear the "roar" sound effect when the Neothelid emerges from below ground. Send in Safana, Glint, and Jaheria then have them cast Greater Malison and Doom to lower the creatures' saves. Once the saves have been lowered hit it with a Wand of Polymorphing for a quick victory.
The real challenge in this fight is the Mind Flayer Darkshelin. This powerful creature is surrounded by minions and taking on the whole group at once is fatal at this difficulty. Use the Level 5 Arcane Spell Chaos to confuse the minions so they fight each other, allowing you to aggro and isolate Darkshelin to advance on your party alone. Use your Skeletons to tank the Mind Flayer while your party focuses it down. Defeat it quickly and then retreat before the Chaos spell wears off and the minions advance on you.
