Are there any helmed horrors and battle horrors in BG2?

Battling them was tough in Baldur's Gate, but worthwhile.

There are only Mist Horror and Wandering Horror - but believe me they are easy.

The more dangerous is Vampiric Mist that does leveldraining and that heals itself with each successful hit!

No, there aren't any of them. Not that they'd be a challenge anymore (nor good exp).

The things Extremist here is referring to are mists, not animated pieces of armour/whatnot. You'll learn to hate the vampiric mists, they turn invisible after reaching low hp. Cast detect invisibility while they're invisible and they'll just go invisible again. Just another part of the myriad hordes of annoying critters in the BG series.

Well, sorry for my ignorance, the title of creatures deluded me to think those are mists (Horror). Whatever...

Yes - the vampiric mists are a pain, but the wandering horrors are a joy; not too hard to kill and 9,000xp.

However, like I said battle horrors (and flashy death sequence) and helmed horrors were worthwhile opponents in BG1 and worth 2,000-4,000xp. I think it's an oversight that they're not in SOA.

What are those walking armors In Bodhis Lair?

Those are Grimwarders and Grimward Archers.

Yeah - the grimwarders were tough, but not a patch on the battle horrors and helmed horrors. They were very rare in BG in any case, but a moment to look forward too. I guess this is getting like BG1 nostalgia.

So, finally, wondering if you can clua console in these horrors?

There are no creatures named like that in SoA which means - no console spawning.
Sorry.
