Lords of Magic 2 Defeat Balkoth Easily: ---------------------- Use the map editor to make a map. Erase the Life lord and place a new one beside Balkoth. Save the map and load the custom board. Use the Infinite Defense code to make yourself immortal. Then attack Balkoth and kill him the first turn. Game over, you can now play as him under any setting. Become a master of Death: ------------------------- Choose Death as your faith, you already start out with Balkoth's Scythe. It's ability will keep replenishing your life whenever you kill and enemy. Now you need to search through the local caves and buildings for artifacts. When you get the Ashes of Infestation, equip it on Balkoth. Now go to an empty cave and cast Spawn (a spell you're able to cast for free from the Ashes) on the cave. An enemy has now occupied it. It'll tell you that the same enemy occupying it now is the one that was previously. It's not, but don't worry about it. You can then go in and kill the enemy. It's best to go in and hit autobattle. The computer is probably better at fighting with Balkoth than anyone else. After battle, you get the rewards, (exp., gold, ale, etc.) and you can cast Spawn on the cave again. For some reason, after every battle, you have 9 movement points left, so you can do this forever, but you can only go to level 12 with any Lord. But hey, bring in other soldiers with Balkoth, and max them out. Good luck. Infinite Defense: ----------------- Choose your following as a Life Warrior, you'll get the Peacemaker as your artifact. If you take the staff out of your hand and put it back in, your defense steadily increases, permanently. Works only on Life Warriors and Mages, not Thieves. It's a game glitch.
