Thanks for the quick response.

I tried a few more times - once waiting through about 300 rounds with no success.

Then I tried again and Zauberer died - I have no idea what, if anything, I did differently to succeed.

Thanks again.

I like this scenario a lot, but ....
I'm stuck trying to kill Zauberer.
I have tried dozens of times.

The hint guide says
"push the mirror to the same space that the eastern torch is on"
I do not understand what space that is. The "torches" do not move. I have tried the mirror on many different spaces but always just get a crisscross of lasers and the message "Zauberer takes no damage" over and over again (dozens of times) with no apparent damage to Zauberer.

Help would be most welcome.

I have looked at all C:MW topics for the last two years - this issue has come up - but the solutions provided did not help me. They seemed to suggest trying again until the problem just disappears - which has not worked for me.
I am using version 1.04 of C:MW and the current version of BoA.

Thanks for the very quick and complete response.

2. I tried your suggestion but it did not work. In the character editor I loaded a saved game and clicked on "advanced features".
Then I clicked on "Set Stuff Done Flag" and in the window I entered:

13 2 2

I had to enter it three times before the window went away. then I saved the changes and tried the new file. There was no difference - Khalthanas still did not recognize that I had done anything. Did I do this properly?

3. I had just one ally left - he just gave me some gold

Thanks again for your help

I have finished Bahssikava and started Exodus. I am liking it a lot, but I have a few frustrations:

1. After leaving Vasskolis, I went down the western waterfalls and was never able to get to Neoss to get the quest or rewards there (Filth 1/2, Inferno 1/2). From the walkthru, it seems that I should have taken the eastern waterfalls.

2. After dealing with the frost lizards, Nakhtha and the Black Land, I approached Thassaka. I saw the bandit island to the east and went in and killed the archmage (and got Sleep and Somnekh's bracelet). Then I entered Thassaka and got the bandit Island quest from Khalthanas (and reported back to Pithoss, etal) - but Khalthanas will not recognize that I already killed the archmage (no reward and the quest still appears active).

3. I cleared out the bandit lair with help from Khalthanas' guys. The walkthru says the reward is Major Healing 1/2. I have seen no sign of it.

I am ready to head to the Lava Ocean, but I would welcome any comments on how I might improve any of the above. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses to my question.

I did finally get past the flying demons by following Crytozoology's suggestion to kill them quickly. I blessed and hasted my priest and mage (who also casts priest spells thru Repel Spirit) and they finally destroyed them before they could fly away.

I want to add that I have enjoyed this scenario a lot - and I'm looking forward to the rest of it and then Exodus. My Thanks to Kelandon for many hours of enjoyable escape.

I am in Khar-Grav. I have just passed the two large statues and entered the demon lord's palace. I have 2 NPCs. When I start the battle with the various demons to the west, after a round or two, one of the flying demons will fly off the field of play. The play area goes black and the application hangs up. I have tried several times with Blades version 1.1.2 and 1.2. I am using 1.09 of Bahssikava. I am using Mac OS X 10.4.8. Suggestions would be welcome.
