Jedi knight 2. The final guy. It wasnt too complicated, but last summer, everytime I needed to fill a 20 min break I fought him.It was addictive. Also the final Malak fight in Kotor is good fun.
How about the Queen Sappho level in Giants : Citizen Kabuto. Not difficult but uite fun to play.
My Necro only runned into trouble, against Duriel, in Normal. After level 24, no problem. The solution is to develop an Iron Golem. The Thorns Aura can really help in that department. If you level up to 24 before facing him, you only need Iron Golem lvl 2 (150% damage return) to kick his wormy a**. Plain sailling, against Duriel, after that.Quote:

The final battle in Jedi Academy I can remember being insanely hard, with whatsherface spewing electrical stuff at me when she wasn't hacking me into iddy biddy pieces. Good fun though, running around with two light sabres...
I don't remember the boss of Jedi acadamy being that hard, I didn't like the level leading to it though. I had a double lightsaber (didn't like having two) and ended up being evil http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
That is one of the characters that I haven't used against Duriel yet. She is stuck at part I, since I stopped playing D2LoD last September (I bought MTW/VI http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/gc-wink.gif ).Quote:

-Druid (lots of friends to keep Duriel busy, while casting spells)
-Sorceress (very difficult, weak, lack of effective spells - Duriel's resistences, small life)
I don't include the Assassin and the Amazon because I've never played them against Duriel.
For me, the hardest is the last series of battles in ToB. I still have a hard time w/ mellisan. All of those shade slayers really hurt. IWD really taught me most of the stratagies for the BG and IWD series. W/ dragons all you have to do is make your fighters and a bunch of summoned creatures soak their damaging hits, while you use lower magic resistance in conjunction w/ many chained magic missles. Malak wasn't too bad for me. I found an extremely cheap way to beat him. You simply blow up all of the jedi he uses to get healed, then run around w/ knight speed or some equivilant healing yourself w/ life supports. All the while you are using advanced lightsaber throw on him. Once he gets to 1/2 health, you can easily beat him in a duel (at least w/ level 20 jedi guardian/soldier). Hmm...maybe it would be best to suck it up early on, and get fewer levels in soldier or whatever (killing as few things as possible), and then go crazy once you become a jedi, to get more levels of force classes.
The Final Sephiroth was easy if you had omni-slash.Quote:

Sephiroth was easy compared to Emerald and Ruby weapon. It took a lot of effot to beat them but i managed it (see my post in the thread: anyone beaten a game in the final fantasy series)
Yunalesca was a pain. It was only when i got to her did i relieze i hadn't levelled up enough.
The bit that got me was i removed Zombie status from all my charicters then when she used mega death they all got waisted http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/angry.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...c-furious3.gif Took me about 3 attempts to beat her.
Never got Round to defeating Ruby Weapon, Emerald was easy with master Knights of round, Mime And Revive linked with all materia
Yeah thats what got me. I've levelled up a bit more now and have Holy. I will kill her soon hopefully.Quote:

Yuna is my uber wizard too. The only characters i don't use are rikku and the blitzball player (can't remember his name)
Damn it, which i'd read that the sorceress was difficult before i started one. Oh well, any one got any tips on how best to develop a sorceress?Quote:

Now the levelling:
Since Duriel is a resistance-filled bastard (50% cold, 20 fire, 20% lightning, 20% poison in Normal - 100% cold, 50% fire, 50% lightning, 50% poison in Nightmare and Hell) the Sorcy suffers. Try developing lvl 1 Static Field (decreases enemy Health in 50% in one shot), lvl 1 Teleport (to escape Duriel's attention) and concentrate in an high power spell of the Lightning or Fire tree (with Cold is harder). Maybe you shoul try Firewall (lvl 18) that is what I use. Save as many points as you can for this one until you clear Duriel's level.
Good equipment, like Staffs or Orbs with extra Static Field, Teleport or Firewall would be very good.
Hope it helps... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
When I used to play ol' LoD, my pala (lvl 79 in the day, IIRC) owned everything with the simple zeal/fanaticism combo. whack-whack-whack-whack-whack... etc. like a pneumatic hammer, only then more painful http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif

Cheers for the help. I'm only on the first act at the moment so have plenty of time to level up. My sorceress is quite weak at the mo. I have quite a bit of trouble esp when i run into a large group of carvers (i hate the damn shamans http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/angry.gif)
Yeap. It's pretty fun. Do you know something? The first time I faced him, I killed him in 10 sec after the talk finished. He made a backflip in front of me and I chopped his head off while he was upside down The easiest boss-kill ever http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...speechless.gifQuote:

Carvers? Damn, you are suckng wind. Tell me what spells you are using. That would help me figure out what you are missing.Quote:

You'll need party (MP) or a lvl 99 with top equipment (SP) to make it through alone. ALL characters have been re-balanced and the monsters are much, much, much harder now. I haven't tryed the latest patch though... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg.../gc-bigcry.gifQuote:

example:
Spoiler Alert! Highlight to read.
you have to go give a package to this one guy named Dick
when you approach him, you ask "are you Dick?"
and he replies: "My name is Big Dick"
you say "Sure, sure"
...then a bunch of enemies approach you and you gun them down together, after which you say something like "Hey Big Dick you're not as soft as you look". note: it may not seem so funny with me talking about it in this thread, but if you EXPERIENCED it first-hand it's REALLY FUNNY

another example:
Spoiler Alert! Highlight to read.
you have to meet a guy under a tunnel and he's being a smart-mouth with you so you have to give him a hilarious beat-down to wise-him-up. but before he gets the beat-down, there is a very funny verbal exchange between the voice-actors

Navaros, could you give me any hints on how to get passed the farm bit. I'm in the van with the cars following but always seem to run out of ammo http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif
that's easy for me to help you with.Quote:

just point your crosshair right over the windshield of the driver and use all your bullets on that area. you'll find that the cars stop following you mighty quickly once you do that, and you'll probably have a ton of ammo to spare
it helps if you LET the cars get close to you before you fire. you'll have plenty of time to kill each driver, so don't panic when they get close. close is GOOD FOR YOU, BAD FOR THEM http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
you only have to stop 3 cars from what i remember
Cheers, all i managed was two and when i did that i was shooting the grill to try and make them explode.
I nearly didn't play Mafia when i got to the race mission. I found it so hard cos either i would spin or someone would make me spin http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/angry.gif
agreed. i too hate the Race Mission. it is the one unforgivable blight on an otherwise-perfect masterpiece. i think somehow the race level was included JUST to remind us all that these devs are human and not demi-gods; because without the race level i certainly would be under the impression that the devs were more than human seeing as they would have made the only just-about-perfect game that i've ever playedQuote:

Where Im stuck is in that mision:
Spoiler Alert! Highlight to read. The one where you go with your 2 companions to a parking to meet some guy with a whisky cargo, and all of a sudden a car bumps into the scene and you start shooting each other.
My problem is that my 2 friends keep walking into my line of fire. If I move, they do too, so first, they get killed by the guy who was shooting me, and I shoot them as well, coz Im aiming at the other guy.

Any advice appreciated.
