I am playing a new game. It is a Tactic version of Big World Project. Using Big World Project version 9.4 and Company of Eight version 1.12a. These were the latest versions when I started this game.

I cannot kill the Dragonlich. It is easy enough to get the Dragonlich NEAR DEATH. but even CTRL-Y does not finish him off. With the Dragonlich are three other evil characters. I can kill none, one, two, all all three before I go after the Dragonlich, but it makes no difference. Nothing kills him.

There are no errors in the Baldur.ere or WieDU.log files. All the Company of Eight are alive and well. I have tried both pickpocketing all of them first and without pickpocketing them. This makes no difference. I have plenty of spells, but they are different then before due to some mods I have installed. The most notable difference in this game is that most spells have saving throws where the last time I played this game (Standard version) the critical spells had no saving throws.

I would appreciate any ideas on how to kill the Dragonlich.

Thanks for any help.

Tom

Hi,

There are few threads about this problem (google this problem if you want).

The lich is supopsed to heal himself 3 times before being able to die...

Try once again to see if it's help...

Hi Fouinto:

Thanks for the reply.

I know that the humanoid lich (in the back of the room) needs to die three times. So I let the Dragonlich heal himself three times before I try to kill it with spells and weapons but I have no luck.

The demilich and super priest at the front of the room are no problem. The super lich at the rear of the room resurrects three times before you finally kill him. But no matter which order I try, the Dragonlich refuses to die. I think I will go back and kill the other three first. Then I will attack the Dragonlich and let it heal three times. Finally, I will try to finish it off.

Remember, I am playing a "tactic" version which is different than the "standard" version. In the standard version I was able to kill the Dragonlich with spells.

Tom

I went back and read many posts, including some of mine. Colonel Klinck's post (Dec 01, 2010) was most helpful, but left me with more questions than answers. Then I went back and tried to end this mod in several different ways. Nothing worked for me.

1) Do I need the Company of Eight with me? I have them locked in the room next to me.
2) Do I need to kill the Dragonlich before I kill Zannaster?
3) Did using a BWP Tactic game change the way this mod plays? I finished this mod before with the same setup, but in the BWP Standard mode.
4) Is the order for killing the demi-lich and the cult superior critical? They are no problem for me.
5) Do I need to start a new game with BWP 9.10 and CtB 1.13a? I have over 100 hours into this game and hope I can complete it with these older mods.

Other factors

I can kill Zannaster 2 times. Sometimes he changes to a lich and sometimes he does not.

When Zannaster casts STUN on any of my party members, they are done for good. I cannot dispel the stun spell. If the stunned party member gets killed, the party member can get resurrected but, the party member is unusable. The party member can not pick up items or memorize spells.

Checked the scripts with NI. It appears to be correct. The line Global("Cb_ZannasterHealed","LOCALS",3) is there.

Thanks for any help,

Tom

Read the last two posts of Colonel Klink's thread and you get a replacer for the dracolich. Reload a game before entering the area (last level) for it to work. Yes the name of the creature will not be correct so you will have to use NI or DLTCEP to fix that if you are picky about such things. Just write down the string reference of your current creature, put the new file in override, reload the creature in the editor of choice and change the string reference number (not the name).

Yes the Co8 need to be present to finish the quest when Zannaster the Lich is dead. When he turns to lich he casts imprisonment a lot so you have to cast Freedom, not dispel magic for stun. Also he needs to get to 1 HP and a cutscene starts, that is how he dies and the only way he dies.
