Highest experience reward for killing?

xzar_monty

With the number of BG2 specialists here, I think someone will surely know which baddies give you the highest experience rewards in the whole game.

I recall that you get 64K for Firkraag and 50K for Bodhi. So, those two are definitely up there among the highest.

I think you don't get any XP for killing Irenicus, either up in the tree or down in Hell. Demogorgon only gives you quest experience points (and plenty of them), so for the purposes of this question, he doesn't count, either.

Does any monster / bad guy give you more than 64K experience points?

Final killing of Bohdi gives 91K I think. Demogorgon gives a cool 100K.

Make a quicksave before you enter her final sanctum. Drizzt is infamous for getting the last hit in, denying you that huge 91k XP.

This is where I'd make a joke about DotA 2 and the Drow Ranger hero, but I've never played the game and only know what last-hitting is by watching.

@Flashburn: I don't use Drizzt. I don't need him, I dislike his companions' banter, and I'd rather keep the XP myself.

Thanks for the Bodhi clarification. 91K is a lot.

Bodhi is the highest, as far as I am aware. The dragons are the next, I think, ranging between 60000 and 70000.

Give Drizzt the XP, after all he always seems to be the only one drained again and again

Delvarian

Can you kill Drizzt at that point in the game? Accidentally of course....

It's funny cos Bodhi is an absolute wimp...

Ain't he immune to the level drain?

Anyway Bodhi gives the highest xp, not for being the toughest, but for (ironically) being the last boss you kill that actually just DIES QUIETLY instead of triggering some idiot speech at low HP and then rewarding quest xp for a scripted death. A solo charname will always have Bodhi as their toughest foe vanquished.

@Delvarian you can kill Drizzt whenever you want, just watch out though, some arse hole named Malchor Harpell will come in and take all of his cool stuff (including his companions cool stuff as well) after you kill Bodhi and if you try and trick him, he will start casting off imprisonment spells on your par-TAY, no matter where you run to and he isn't killable, so yeah, bad times bears, unless of coarse you are only just XP happy then all is good

I've heard you can shapechange to a Mindflayer and drain Harpell's INT to zero if you manage to get next to him, but honestly, the stuff just isn't worth it. Just kill them and leave them to rot on the ground with their trinkets.

Even if you kill Harpell I recall the original game being really glitchy afterwords. I'm assuming its the same in the EE.

Making Drizzt (& friends) items undroppable might be a better option.
