I need help.. Neverwinter Nights - HOTU

[Asmo]

As far as I understand this game ( wich I really love! ) is not to "win" by beating the BBEG with brute force, but rather with His True Name. I know, I also wanted to beat this guy with my weapons - wich I finally did, after trying some diffrent tactics - and if you choose that path it becomes very hard. The only way that I was able to beat him was by using Choking Powder. It worked like a charm: he often failed his fort save and then it was pretty easy. Hit him with all you got while he´s Dazed.
Other than that I wasn´t able to defeat him.

Ok thanks. I will try some of the suggestions . Im not sure if I will have any success. If anyone has any other ideas/tips/strategys they want to share for my mage to use, please do.

Thanks.

Peace

As a last resort, and I hate to even ask this... but does anyone know how I can edit in just enough gold to my char on the save game where im still with the knower of names so I can buy the true name of my companion? So at least I can have that extra help at the last battle.

Or if not im still hoping for a good strategy that can help me win in battle without that.

Peace

I do have a savegame where im with the keeper of names. Problem is I only have like 134,000 or so gold on me at that time and need 200.000 to get valens or arabeths name. *sigh* And of course there is no way to sell all the shwag(about 200-300,000 worth) on me, and cant get back to her once I do sell... What a rotten game design.

There is a way to sell your loot, though you may have rendered it impossible for this particular game, and even if you haven't you won't get as good a price as you'd get selling to the merchants back near the door to the Reaper's domain. There was a bottle in the treasure of the drow on the second level of undermountain, the one where you are looking for the different colored chains, that calls a Djinni merchant to trade with you, so unless you sold it you can use that to raise the money you need.

Chaz,

I would go to Neverwinter Vault and download Leto if you want to edit your character in your saved game. You can edit the amount of gold in your character's inventory among many other things concerning your character. Be sure to follow the guide in the taskpad when doing so.

Ok thanks ValamirCleaver. I have started palying an old savegame that basicaly is the very beginning of the 3rd chapter(ouch). Its tedious having to go through all that again, and worse it looks like some of the excellent loot I got first time around was random ... and my rolls arent coming up as good this time around. I may have a look at that program you suggest. It might save my tattered nerves. Haha.

Peace

If it makes you feel any better, I had to go through the third chapter a good six or seven times, most of them because of bugs.

I downloaded Leto, did everything it told me to, changed that line in the file, and my changed character did not show up.

Ok just a quick update...

I finaly defeated him!! Yay me

I went and downloaded that Leto program.. But didnt install it. I left a message on the site asking if it was able to do the gold thing on my save for sure or not. And a guy wrote in a comment that all I had to do was use the debug mode to give my guy the needed gold on the save game(it was soooo simple).

I did that, got my companions name, and woopi I kicked the devils azz just like I wanted to. I had to rez my companions a couple times still. And it was still a hard fight.. but it was doable and not hard at all by comparison.

So thanks everyone. I found my info, in a round-about way, by asking here first. Thanks for all the tips and ideas.

Now I have to find a good module to run my mage in and get him some more levels. I hope they put out another official add on soon.

Peace all.

So, how do you do the debug mode to give gold? I'll try that.
