BGII Help

How do you defeat dragons in BGII?

From my hazy memory, a few things stand out:

- I killed Fierkraag with warriors - me (fighter with Celestial Fury); Minsc; Jaheira - probably Jaheira's elemental. That probably means the spell casters (Aerie, Imoen, Jan) were buffing/healing my fighters.

- To deal with the wing buffet knock-down attacks, spread the party around so he can only face and buffet one warrior.

- Use summoned creatures to distract him.

- Cast spells that make you immune to fear.

- I used pause on end of turn: a lot happens each turn against a dragon, so you need to be careful.

Thanks guys, you've answered most of my questions, I should be ok from now on.

Just one more thing, How do I get Flail of the ages +5? Are there more heads? I though there were only three, I went through all of the keep and only found three, what else do I need to make it +5? And how do I get the Mace of Disruption +1 to become +2?

Well I won't be getting Flail of the Ages +5 since I don't have ToB but could I get MoD +2 still? If so where is the ore that I need?

[Kekvit Irae]

Yes, that is correct. You'll need ToB for the +5.

Neb in Bridge District. Kill him for it. It weighs 200 pounds, however.

[Xehh II]

Where in the bridge district is he? Is it on the map?

I HIGHLY recommend getting ToB, especially if BG2 is your favorite game. You can probably get it for a ridiculously low price now and it gives the entire series a very satisfying ending.

[edit] Amazon has it for $20 USD new and about $12 USD used.
