I just don't get what to do. He is immune to all missile weapons, and can't be breached the third or forth time he goes invisibility because I've run out of purges. What the heck do I do?

    On core difficulty or higher you need weapons +3 to hit him. If you don't have any you're in trouble, you could use the enchant weapon spell if you know it.

    Whelp, I won, by putting it on normal, lol. Trounced him. Feels cheap, but my party members had 0 +3 weapons.

    Hello friend. For next time you can always acquire at least one +3 weapon by playing a riddle game with the fellow who stops you from going through the final door before the elevator.

    I believe you can also find some on the corpses of enemies during the Dragonspear battle.

    I found exactly one full quiver of +3 arrows and bolts. Ironically, near the end game in the castle IIRC.

    But the game throws you help a lot. It basically screams about the end boss. Near the end, I also found an enchanted weapon scroll and protection from fire scrolls laying around the castle. I guessed 'hmm so the end boss requires +3 to hit and uses fire attacks' and came prepared. Saved the +3 arrows and bolts, too.

    They changed the enchanted weapon spell just for this encounter idea, I think. Nice idea. Enchanted weapon spell was lackluster, now is damn useful. Bg2's must have spell is breach. SoD's must have-never leave home without when going to final boss spell is enchanted weapon.

    Yup, I took the fire hints. I was so fireproof by the end I could have done a nudey run through the Elemental Plane of Fire. But, alas, I didn't take the +3 hints. I dunno why but I just didn't see any.

    I think I had like 4 or 5 40% fire resist rings by the end. Plus some other similar gear.

    I didnt take the +3 Hints either...the first time i had no other option left then to lower the Difficulty...still feelt so bad, that i thought the character didnt deserved to go on to Bg2 from there. With the next Char brining i think all the +3 Weapons from BG1 the fight was a lot better ;D
