Description of problem:

I manage to defeat Abazigal's human form with relative ease, but as he becomes a dragon (and everyone is thrown away) he just stands there and doesn't do anything. My fighters walk right up to him and start bashing away taking him down to 'near death' fairly quickly. After that he just stands there and takes endless damage without dying. I tried standing off and just seeing what would happen but he won't move.

 

Next I tried Ctrl+Y several times but that didn't kill him. Finally Ctrl+Q added him into my party only to see some mysterious looking belts (Imoen's maybe) in his inventory (he was wearing it) and it cannot be removed.

 

So right now it seems nothing will kill him, any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks

[Guest bpm]

If anyone could give me a hint as to where I may change Abazigal's inventory and remove what appears to be Imoen's belt, that would be appreciated.

 

Has noone else encountered this when fighting Abazigal?

 

Thanks

[Caedwyr]

What is happening here is you are doing too much damage too quickly, causing the game's script engine to flake out (unfixable unfortunately). He has some dialogue/triggers at various points in the battle, and if you burn through them too fast, the script engine doesn't have time to remove the items which make him unkillable.

 

What I've found works best, is to back off slightly on doing damage when the NPC gets lower on health to give the engine a chance to fire off all the scripts it is supposed to do. Removing the items can cause other problems as you may not get important dialogue, or various tracking variables getting set which will cause the game to not progress.

[Guest bpm]

Thanks for the reply.

 

I am unsure if that is the correct explanation though. I tried it all again tonight, entering his lair and taking out his minions and leaving him till last. I take it easy with the human form, letting him melee with a mordekainen sword while my archer calmly takes him down from afar. It took quite some time (and about 80 +3 enchanted arrows) but he finally exploded into his dragon form.

 

Now the problem is, the dragon doesn't do anything. I can line everyone up just around him even without attacking and nothing happens. He will just stand there looking mighty. So it's not a matter of dealing damage too quickly, it's just that he doesn't do anything. Is he supposed to say something when he becomes a dragon, because if so then that event is not being triggered.

 

Maybe imprisonment would work as a last ditch resort... any other suggestions greatly appreciated!

[Caedwyr]

Hmm, sounds like you have something different happening there

[CamDawg]

The dialogue is weighted properly, and the HPLT checks sit at the top of his two scripts. I can't see any way this can happen, nor can I replicate it.
