  How to Beat Eldirith Easily

  Onyx Tower

  This is how you beat Eldirith easily. First, when she starts throwing her sword at you and you have a good shield (iron) use it. Every time her sword is coming back to her go up and slash her with the Onyx Sword (if you have it). Then electricity will surround her and she will become huge and go up to try to kill you. DO NOT TRY TO BLOCK IT, IT WILL STILL HURT YOU! Instead, run around like an idiot and hack and slash her. It may take a while, but it'll definitely work.

  Two Player Regeneration

  When playing 2p. mode and one of the players dies you dont need to load to get him/her back, the living player just have to go to a savegame point to regenerate the dead player.

  Bosses

  HAving trouble with the bosses. Here is how to beat some of them.
  1.Huge Rat: This is very dodgily fast so you will need to slash at it as it runs at you. The archer is good to keep it at bay. Its weakness is lightning so if you have a lightning arrow then use it.
  2. Lizard King
  This gut is slow and powerful. If you are playing solo then run around him and slash when you get his back to you. Use acid and fire together. If you are playing two player then one should stand and fire acid arrows and the other should use an axe or a sword and 'hack and slash'
  3. The BEHOLDER KING!! This guy stays virtually still and his back is his weakness. With two players he should be easy, but watch out for when he eats you. If you have repulsion this is good to use. Try to saty far away and use arrows and Bull Rush if you are the dwarf.
  4. THe Final Boss. This stupid woman's attacks are damn powerful. Kill her! I can never kill her the same way twice, so just go for it!! :)

  Beat Last Boss

  This is the way i beat the last boss (the nasty lady in the onyx tower). Two characters are required so get a mate and play together.
  One should have the onyx sword to actually do some damage to her, and the other needs fairly good armor and a sense of loyalty to take a cap in the rear for you.
  The fighter with the sword needs to run in and slash her then run away while the other diverts her to take the attack, this works best with the dwarf and the sorceress.
  The sorceress doesn't have to run in and die for the dwarf, my friend and i managed to survive together by using the above technique. With the onyx sword this usually takes about five to six hits and your done.
  One more thing, when she throws her sword, make sure you get that shield up fast because it homes in on you.

  Sky Sleyvas

  This is more of a glitch then a cheat but if u have a 2 player file go to sleyvas-one person cast meteor strike and at the same time the other person talks to sleyvas when sleyvas says more...the screen will hurdle in to the air above the forest and he will still talk like normal and there ya go Sky Sleyvas

  Good Class/Weapon/Armour Mixes

  You need to think about what class does best.
  Obviously the dwarf needs to do damage SO...
  The best thing to do when you progress further is get him the biggest whooparse axe you can find and hack and hack and hack till they fall to bits or the dwarf collapses from over-exertion with a silly grin on his face.
  It might be my personal opinion but honestly, don't get yourself worked up over getting Clangeddin's Strike or whatever its called, because it just hinders you. It needs a hammer to use and the hammer is so much slower in attack than an axe you'd wonder why they put it in in the first place. Trust me, whirlwind and bullrush are the way to go.
  
  Likewise the sorceress needs a way to protect herself when it comes down to the dirty work.
  Regardless of what people might say, she just can't hack it with a shiny dagger and a cone of cold spell. Not to say she needs to get up close but you need to realize that there will be plenty of times when she has to disembowel the attackers. As soon as you can get her a decent sword, a decent shield and maybe even a bow. Oh, and put as many points as you can spare into mordenkainen's sword because the little bloke will go far let me tell you.

  Advice for during the game

  Killing Enemies easily: When you are facing an extra hard enemy or boss in Balders gate there are several ways to kill them:
  
  Run around the enemy as if you were trying to make them dizzy and keep hitting them.
  
  If you use a shield then you can block then hit then block then hit etc. It takes time but you don't loose any life if you are fast enough.
  
  Find a doorway and use a shield for the above method. This is useful when more than one enemy is in the next room.
  
  Cheat Menu
  
  To activate the cheat menu during gameplay you press together: R2 L1 left on d-pad and triangle. You then press start while holding them down. This lets you activate the cheats menu.
  
  Extra Exp
  
  To gain loads of exp you can keep warping to sleyvas then Ciraxis. keep killing them for good exp.

  Quick Level Up

  At the beginning of the game press down and hold R2 L1 Left d-pad triangle and Start to access the cheat menu. Then turn Invincibility on and use Level Warp to transport yourself to "the gauntlet" level. Advance as much as you possibly can without running out of time. This level has pretty good monsters to hack and slash and gain lots of experience and gold. But remember, before you run out of time Level Warp yourself again into the Tavern. Keep transporting between the Tavern and the gauntlet until you reach whatever level you want. Once you gain enough levels you could probably make it all the way to the end where an Iron Golem is waiting for you. If you kill it not only you receive tons of exp's but also you can pick up the Onix Sword for some massive damage.... and if you are running short of gold you can sell this sword for over 98,000 gold pieces. Enjoy.

  Rise from the dead!

  By using the Import Character function, you can bring a character back from the dead (in a 2 player game)WITHOUT loading a saved game.
  When a character dies, Import the same character from the most recent saved file. They will return exactly as they were when saved. Remember that the character will return where they died, so if the character died by falling into a pit, for example, they will return and fall into the pit again.
  This is a handy way to not have to repeat tough scenes over again!

  Defeating Eldrith

  When facing Eldrith use the stairway as cover.
  She will eventually come over to you at which time you run to the wall opposite of the stairs.
  Most likely she will not follow you.
  She will try to hit you with her static charge.
  If you are all the way against the wall she can not hit you. Follow the path of her static charge and either shoot arrows or cast missile like spells at her. (it helps to know if you are hitting her so put the damage counter on in the options menu). The enemy's health bar will vanish when she is killed.

  Get Drizzt w/o having to beat the whole game.

  Get one of your characters to finish "The Gauntlet" level ( use level warp from the cheat menu ). Once you are done, this will unlock the EXTREME difficulty level. Now at the opening menu a new choice will also be available " The Gauntlet ". Start the gauntlet game and you will play as Drizzt... he will easily finish the level if you have the invincibility on from the cheat menu. Once you finish the gauntlet with Drizzt you have the option to save the game. Make a new save. Now all you need to do is start a new game with the Extreme defficulty mode. Choose your best character ( at this point you cannot import Drizzt ). Unfortunately you do not have anything in your inventory at this time. I suggest you warp to the Gauntlet level to pick up a few potions and the onix sword ( you'll need it ). Remember to turn the invincibility cheat on. Once you are done picking up these items warp yourself to the very last level to confront the final boss. Kill her! ( yea!
  h I know its a bit of a spoiler but in my opinion getting Drizzt w/o too much hassle is well worth it ). Once you beat the game and the credits are over you can start a new game with any difficulty and import Drizzt as your character. Good Luck.

Import the human, drop the Onyx Sword and any other good items, then import the dwarf and pick them up. Note you can do this with any character and any weapon.
