Hints:

------

Click the TCP/IP option, even if offline, to create and play six of your own

characters. (Note: you'll miss out on a lot of quests, but it's a great way

to replay the game.)

Be picky when choosing quests. Be true to your alignment and don't bite off

more than you can chew, or your reputation will suffer.

The game is 100 percent playable and quite different if you opt to play as an

evil character. For example, instead of freeing the slaves, you are charged

with putting down their uprising.

Stock up on Restoration spells when facing undead. Being "level drained" is

a horrible way to go. Failing that, if you have Raise Dead spells let a level-

drained character die (unless it's your character); once raised he'll be back

to a normal level.

Spawn Monster List:

-------------------

You have to edit a game file; you should always create a backup copy of the file

before editing. Use a text editor to edit the baldur.ini file in the game folder.

How to beat Firkraag the dragon, Or any dragon.

-----------------------------------------------

First you'll need a wand of cloud kill with at least ten charges, Put it in

one of your quick item slots. Position Your character with the wand of cloud

kill just out of veiw of the dragon, keeping all your other characters at a

distance. Now keep shooting your wand of cloud kill in the direction of the

dragon without coming into veiw of it. This way you dont have to be at a high

level to beat dragons.

Hint:

-----

In chapter 4 "SpellHold" you start off in Brynnlaw, the Sanik and Clair quest

is taken there. In it you most rescue Clair from the evil Galvenena's Feasthall.

Complete the mission by drugging the guards with the enlist help off the serving

girl and Ellie the cook. Once you've finished return to Ellie who will award you

EXP, however a fault in the game means that if you talk to her again she will

award the same EXP to you and she will continue to do this

indefinitely!

Bronze Pantaloons:

------------------

Go to Abzigal's lair. There will be Sentinels in one room. You will find a wizard

in there. Near the wizard are three statues. Use the Stone To Flesh scroll on them,

then get them to do the quest.

Summoned creature attack:

-------------------------

If you can summon creatures to aid you they will auto-attack the enemy. This

is especially useful when you can open a door without the enemy seeing you,

Get a quick glimpse of the enemy and run back through the door. Then have the

creatures summoned and they will attack the enemy. After they die, rest and

repeat. You will regenerate your spells and hit points but the enemy will not.

This is useful for the sphere battle in the lower level.

Multiple items for the price of one:

------------------------------------

Go to any shop. Select a character who has a Gem Bag or Scroll Case. For example,

if you want to buy all the Scrolls Of Protection From Undead from a certain

shopkeeper, have the character with the Scroll Case select the scroll with by

double clicking so you buy more than one Item. Select all the scrolls the

shopkeeper has to offer. The price will reflect every scroll you are going to

buy, Next, go to the character's inventory. Double click on the Scroll Case.

This opens the case for only those items allowed. Go back to the shopkeepers

inventory You will see the multiple scrolls you selected by the small number

in the upper left hand corner of the item. However, the price will reflect only

the cost of one of those items. you Can buy as many of the items as the shopkeeper

has to offer for the price of just one.

Unlimited liquor:

-----------------

If you like going to the taverns and buying drinks to find information for your

journal, you can remove your intoxication by saving and reloading your game,

even after the bartender refuses to give you any more drinks.

Keep Imoen:

-----------

When you are in the Irenicus' Dungeon, select the entire party and enable the

CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("<any location number>"). Imoen should be transported

with your main character and your party, and not be taken by the cowled wizards.

Skip to Underdark:

------------------

If you choose to go with Saemon Havarian and end up at the bottom of the ocean,

you can skip directly to the Underdark by pick pocketing the king and getting the

magic rope. You may also want to get the key and get the Rod Of The 3 Kings.

Keep imported items:

--------------------

If you are importing a character from Baldur's Gate or a multi-player game, you

can keep the items you collected. To do this, start a new game and import the

character you want to use. When the screen turns dark, quickly press [Space] to

pause game play before you hear your characters cry of pain. Go into the inventory

screen and drop all the items you want to keep on the ground around you. Return

to the game. After the introduction sequence, when Imoen frees you, you can pick

up all the items you dropped. Note: This may work also with Throne of Bhaal

installed.

Create Fighter/Specialist Mage multi-class character:

-----------------------------------------------------

: cheatbook

This trick may not work with the full install option or the expansion set. It may

also work with other class combinations that a mage is part of. Use the following

steps to create a Fighter/Specialist Mage. Choose to creating a character and

select "Human" for the race. For class, choose "Mage" and select the Specialist

Mage you wish to become with a multi-class. Once at the screen where you select

your first level magic spells, back out and continue backing out until you are

down to selecting your gender. Note: Do not select "Start Over". Re-create your

character (same gender, and later alignment) with a race of either Half-elf, Elf,

or Gnome. At class, choose "Multi-class" and select the multi-class Fighter/Mage

(or Fighter/Illusionist). Continue creating your character until you have set your

first level spells. If your spells have a requirement (for example, if you want to

be a Fighter/Necromancer, you would have Larloch's Minor Drain and/or Chill Touch

as required spells), then you know that the trick worked. Finish creating your

character. Note: The paper doll drawing may look like a Thief. If you want to be

a different Fighter/Specialist Mage, click "Start Over" and begin from step one

again with a new Specialist Mage chosen. Not only do Fighter/Specialist Mages

start with more spells, their map animations look like Mages instead of Fighters.

Also, Gnomes do not have to be Fighter/Illusionists. The Specialist Mage you chose

will "overwrite" the "Illusionist" (for example, a Gnome Fighter/Diviner or

something else).

Change speed of creatures:

--------------------------

Enable the CLUAConsole:EnableCheatKeys() code. Press [Ctrl] + B to bring up the

creatures speed by one point. To lower the speed you have to cycle back around.

Note: This takes several tries.

Super weapon:

-------------

Enable the CLUAConsole:CreateItem("killsw01") code to create a super-powerful

sword. The sword will appear as a Longsword +2, but actually does about 1000

damage, gives 100% magic resistance and the Improved Haste ability, as well as

a -50 point bonus to THAC0 and a -10 bonus to Armor Class. Also, this sword can

be used by any character regardless of class, proficiencies, or any other factor.

The AC bonus is also cumulative if you equip a second one in the character's off

hand.

Elvis painting:

---------------

Go to the Five Flagons Inn, in the Bridge District. Go to the second floor and

look on the left side of the bed that is in the north east part of the floor to

find an Elvis painting.

Create your own party:

----------------------

Go to the folder where you installed the game. Enter the "saves" folder, copy

your favorite game and put it and its folder in the multiplayer saves. Start the

game, go to multi-player, and load your game. Make your party, play the game,

and save it. Return to the multi-player saves folder and copy the file to your

saved games.

Easy gold and items:

--------------------

To receive 346 gold and other items, pause game play.

Enter the CLAUConsole:CreateCreature("dragblac") code and a Black Dragon will

appear. Move the pointer over the dragon and press [Ctrl] + Y. A lump of gold,

the Goblet Of Life, Dragon Scale Armor, three necklaces, and some shiny rocks

will appear atop of his corpse. Note: This works best when the game is paused

throughout the procedure. Otherwise, you will talk to the dragon, he will then

kill you.

Free cabin:

-----------

You can get the ranger cabin when you finish the Umar Killing's quest as a

ranger. Do the Umar Hills Killing's quest. Stop the Shade Lord, then go back

to Umar Hills. Talk to Minister Lloyd. He will say something about you being

the new ranger. When you finish the quest as a ranger, you will get the ranger

cabin. Inside you can rest (by selecting the "Rest" icon). There will be also

a note on the table explaining why you got the cabin.

Easy Genie sword:

-----------------

If you do not want to free the Genie in Irenicus' Dungeon, have Imoen pickpocket

him. If successful, he will not attack and you can repeat this until you steal

the sword.

Strong characters at end:

-------------------------

At the very end of the game, when you have to gather five Tears Of Bhaal. You

can increase experience, resistance, spell resistance, and armor class among

other things. To do this, you will need to gather all the Tears Of Bhaal. Each

tear will do something different. Save the game (save the character holding

the Tears Of Bhaal). Modify the character and create a new character (import

character from saved game, then import the one holding the Tears Of Bhaal).

Step up to the big double door and push as many times as the number of the

eyes around the door. Each time you click, you will gain something. Just before

the doors open and you will meet Irenicus, you will have a short time to still

save your character (export). Try pushing on the door until it opens, but just

before that pause and save your character then reload the game. If you continue

to do this your character will be able to have maximim saving throws, ability

stats (Charisma, Wisdom), AC, and spell resistance.

Coded scrolls:

--------------

Use the CLUAConsole:CreateItem("scrlaa") and CLUAConsole:CreateItem("scrla9")

codes to get two scrolls with jumbled letters on them. The "scrlaa" scroll reads:

Aqw vjkpm K co etcba, dwv vjga ycpv aqw vq vjkpm vjcv. K mpqy ugegvu. Mggr vjg

rcpvcnmmpu. Cnycau mggr vjg rcpvcnmmpu.

When decoded, it reads: "You think I am crazy, but they want you to think that.

I know secrets. Keep the pantaloons. Always keep the pantaloons."

The "scrla9" scroll reads:

Qc twrxepssrw evi jvii sj aiewipw. Mrjsvq xli Uyiir, wr xlex wli qmklx wlrr xliq

esec. Livi ai ks 'vsyrh xli qypfivvc fywl. Ks qsroic KS!

When decoded, it reads: "My pantaloons are free of weasels. Inform the Queen, so

that she might shoo them away. Here we go 'round the mulberry bush. Go monkey GO!"

How to learn more spells:

-------------------------

A mage can only have a certain number of spells of any given level in his spell

book. The number of spells he can know is determined by his intelligence score.

For example, a mage with an intelligence of 15 can learn a maximum of 11 spells

of any given level. But what if he already has 11 3rd level spells scribed in

his spell book, and really wants to learn a few more? Simply take a 'Potion of

Genius', or use some other similar magic to temporarily raise his intelligence

score. He is now able to learn as many spells per level as allowed by his new,

temporary score. (As an added bonus, the higher intelligence score will also

make it easier to learn a new spell successfully.) Once the potion wears off,

the newly learned spells will remain in the characters spell book permanently.

Use 'Stoneskin' and 'Iron Skins' more effectively:

--------------------------------------------------

The spells 'Stoneskin' (4th Level Wizard spell) and 'Iron Skins' (5th Level

Druid spell) both have similar functions in that they provide the caster with

a protective magical skin for the spells duration. Both spells last a full 12

hours of game time. If you know that you are about to enter a difficult battle,

you can enjoy the benefits of these spells without having to sacrifice a 4th or

5th level combat spell to memorize them.

Have your Druid cast 'Stoneskin' on herself. Now erase that spell from her

spells to be memorized and replace it with something more useful in combat.

Then rest to memorize spells. Resting only takes 8 hours of game time, leaving

you a full 4 hours of protection from the 'Stoneskin' spell, and a fresh spell

to cast where that 'Stoneskin's' shadow would have been.

Super weapon:

-------------

Enable the "CLUAConsole:CreateItem("killsw01")" code to create a super-powerful

sword. The sword will appear as a Longsword +2, but actually does about 1000 damage,

gives 100% magic resistance and the Improved Haste ability, as well as a -50 point

bonus to THAC0 and a -10 bonus to Armor Class. Also, this sword can be used by any

character regardless of class, proficiencies, or any other factor. The AC bonus is

also cumulative if you equip a second one in the character's off hand.

Defeating dragons:

------------------

Use the following trick to defeat Firkraag or any other dragon. Get a Wand Of Cloud

Kill with at least ten charges. Put it in one of your quick item slots. Position

your character with the Wand Of Cloud Kill just out of view of the dragon. Keep all

your other characters at a distance. Keep shooting your Wand Of Cloud Kill in the

direction of the dragon without coming into view of it.

Unlimited experience:

---------------------

In Chapter 4 "Spellhold", you will start at Brynnlaw. The Sanik and Clair quest is

taken there. In it, you must rescue Clair from the evil Galvenena's Feasthall.

Complete the mission by drugging the guards after enlisting help off the serving

girl and Ellie the cook. Once you have finished the quest, return to Ellie to get

your experience point reward. Talk to her again and she will award the same amount

of experience points to you. Repeat this as many times as desired.
