Going through one of the various BG2 sites, I saw a few screenshots of an area that I don't recognize.

Where in the game is this area? The table and the seven chairs in the last two shots look like they are a portrayal of the scene at the end of SoA, but I haven't seen anything like this, and I don't believe it's from a Mod.

That's the Twisted Rune area, accessed from the Bridge District.

How do you get to there?

It's strange that I've not seen it before, but at least it means in my next game I can go somewhere new, which is refreshing.

As Jhonka said, is in the Bridge District (x 1800 y 3345), you need a Rogue Stone to bieng able to enter, is a difficult battle, recommended to do after Chapter 6

It's in one of the doors in the southeartern area. You need to have a Rogue Stone in your inventory to get in. Beware, it's a tough fight.

I have memories of that fight now. Very unpleasant memories. I never got past the battle part as I always got killed and wound up skipping it.

Heh...if you find that hard, you should try Improved Twisted Rune...

Layene actually USES SotM this time around! :eek:

^Yes, and they all teleport to very startegic places to ambush you and then Rune Assasins get summoned non-stop. Needles to remind 'slightly' smarter liches and mages component. FUN fight!

Hmm... I can't really understand why everyone says that is such a difficult fight. With some planning ahead at least I had no problems at all. I did it in chapter 2 and I only lost a couple of hitpoints totally in my group.. Some traps and a couple of skull traps if I remember correctly and the rest was for my tanks to just mop up.

Ah...but you had a party...I'm also assuming you were around lvl 12-13 or so.

Well, its a lot harder when you're a solo single classed mage. :)

Of course, if you're of a high enoughg level...14-15 solo, (not too hard), its definitely doable.

But if you're a newbie...BEWARE!

Yep, if you save over previous areas you may be BADLY stuck, be thankful the game auto-saves beforehand!
