    For me has to be getting thru ranks 7-8 on battlesquare. Oddly enough after I leveled up to 11 ranks 9-10 were actually easier. But overall completing the full 10 ranks of the battle square was not only hard but looooooonnnnnnnnggggg. However have not been to Chult yet, doesn't sound exactly easy.

    Well, I haven't finished the game, but I found the 8th chamber very difficult. It made me want to slit my wrists :)

    I found that most battles in the Seldarine's Hand are kinda hard if your company's not rested. My hardest battle though, was probably outside the Horde Fortress, my first time through (damn wardrums!). For all the hard battles later in the game (Iyachtu Xvim, Guardian of Chult, etc) I had disintegrate, so they were pretty easy. :D

    My first go through the game,

    1. The Dragon of Chult, I was actually forced to abandon trying it. My second go round, I simply beefed up my Paladin to hold the Dragon in place while everybody else fired away with missile weapons and spells.

    2. Isair and Madae. Boy did that sequence of Blasphemy spells ever put me in my place. My second go round, I used the Holy Aura spell so that my Paladin, Monk, and Drow Rogue/Wizard had Spell Resistance over 40. It became relatively easy then.

    Now that I'm an experienced normal-mode player, the Six Lost Followers.

    Even now, with what I know of the game, this fun and terrific battle still occasionally obliges a few reloads.

    The 8th chamber I completed in one attempt, it was the most easy of all the chambers,
    I used the druid's magic and wildshape, summoned some boneguards and that was that.

    I had a little trouble. :) See this thread.

    Eventually a cleric with SpellResistance, DivineShell and Animate Dead got me through, but damn, that room was tough for my party.

    The Dragon of Chult forced me to reload three times, but the first two times were of my own mistake.

    1) Accidentally Casting Chainlightning on your cleric who standing next to the dragon, instead of on the dragon himself, with all your mages (3) is a bad idea, especially seeing how he's the only healer and resurrector.
    2) Forgetting to cast Protection from Fear on mages results in Tanks getting pummeled without the Dragon getting spells tossed at him = dead tanks, live dragon.

    Toughest fight: Guardian at Chult
    Second toughest: Xvim
    Third toughest: Isair & Madae

    Dude! That was almost my exact subject line at another board! LOL!! I couldn't get past it either until I switched to my cleric and summoned a fire elemental. After that, it was a piece of cake.

    Actually, that was on this board :) Just follow the link in my post above. I was in complete agreement with that statement when I faced the 8th chamber, so I kinda took it up.

    Definitely the Lost Followers. I must have reloaded a dozen times before I got the better of them and even then I was left with one character standing at the end.

    The guardian is the most difficult fight there is.

    [​IMG] Just finished Chult and I have to agree with the others about the Guardian, very tough. But what was even more frustrating was after killing him finding out that I was stuck in Chult forever. Bad game design, time for a new topic on this.

    Gorgonbreath - I feel your pain. I actually killed the Guardian on my second or third try, only to find that I was stuck in Chult while I was screwing around healing my guys and picking up stuff on the ground. I re-loaded, and it took me FOREVER to kill him the second time around. ugh!

    [​IMG] Hail Adventurers!!
    My toughest fight would have to be Isair and Madae on Insane difficulty... :(

    The Guardian of Chult didn't trouble me much...

    I used my two fighters, my monk and my barbarian to batter away at the beast, while my drow cleric and drow wizard threw protective spells and some nasty spells...

    PS: Any tips on how to beat Isair and Madae on HoF?? :confused:
