FINAL BATTLE EASY

ballsackattack

Sarevok is easyyy as long as you have mages and plenty of wands of magic missile and magic missile piled high in the spell books. He is more vulnerable to magic missile and acid arrow hence the hint at the beginning with the Gorion fight thats exactly what he used! (depending on the mage level) give Sarevok about 5-7 magic missile hits and youve won!

So why not install SCS improved end battle and see how that goes?

Yeah, that is exactly how I finished him off in my dragon disciple solo run.

Prior to ToTSC Sarevok had 100% magic resistance (among other things) so killing him with magic missiles or skull trap was not possible. ToTSC changed his stats around and BGEE further added in spells that made the battle even easier.

Also the actual Sarevok you face has 90% acid resistance (the armored figure Gorion faces has 0%), so acid arrow really isn't that good of a spell to use against him.

If you want to try fighting Sarevok in what is for the most part his pre-ToTSC self (he has a helmet when he technically shouldn't but otherwise its accurate) try out this. There is a CRE file in that rar file. Just move it into your override folder.

@elminster‌ forgot to add that in ToTSC Sarevok is permamently under hasted spell. Basically, he traded 100% magic resistance to haste effect. I think it has been done so that playing mage as protagonist could be viable.

Yea thats why I linked to the no haste version. I didn't forget I just didn't include every change made.

Apart from that you can find most of what he used to have, vs what he has now, at the top of the page I provided a link for.

pretty much everything in vanilla is easy if you have a wand of paralysis

Speaking of Saervok, who was a pain for me to defeat in the old days, I just finished a play through in which Jaheira summoned a nymph who paralyzed the poor guy. What a tragic, hilarious, way for the would-be Lord of Murder to meet his fate. Held by a freakin' forest pixie and then shot to death! I bet he won't tell THAT to his roomies in the Abyss.

Did they change his magic resistance? It was a real pain to defeat him with my magic-based party, took a LOT of tries... It did make sense of him having the resistance though, otherwise Gorion would've pwned him good. Without the resistance, he's a bird for the cat. But I'm not complaining.

Dude i had branwen jaheir my paladin and khalid kill him before his mages even got one spell off. I think in TOTSC they should have raised his level and difficulty to match all the bonus EXP, gear and stuff.

Kill him with a solo cleric. Consider Dwarf, the saves are nice.
