Ok. Now I'm stuck - when I enter the palace there is a tree with nuts but i can't seem to get any - when i go down stairs the queen tells me i need nuts from the garden. Is the garden inside the palace or outside? I can't get any from the tree just inside the palace and i don't see any trees or nuts outside the palace...
---
What a lame bug - i have to pick the nuts before i open the waterfall else i'm screwed and the game can't be completed

Yes, you can install Ascension, but you may not want to right away. The last fight in Ascension is monumentally tough. You might want to just play though the base game.
Yup. It always amazes me that folks want to put strength enhancing girdles on Minsc and Korgan. As if going from a STR of 19 to 20 really helps.Originally posted by: aCynic2

Hehe, I was the one dualing Crom Faeyr and a bastard sword, Foebane in the end. My ranger rarely worried about hitpoints, what with that and the ring of gaxx.
Minsc usually duels the two axes (stone fire from Bernard and the cold/acid dealer from Nalia's castle).
However, I've also given Aerie Crom. If ya could just get her HPs up more, she's be a nightmare.

A good thing to remember about the girdles of giant strength in the Sling of Seeking (I think) applies the STR bonus to its bullet damage. Yet another way you can make Viconia or Aerie a real badass instead of adding 1 point of damage to Korgans attack.

i may have to install ascension just to see how tough it is. and bust out my custom party - 4 monks, 1 priest, 1 wiz/sorc. death incarnate, baby!
You should install it before killing Yaga-Shura, the fire giant who's besieging Saradush and at the very latest before going to meet Balthazar.Originally posted by: you2
How late in the game can i install Ascension without having to start over ?

I've not done it, yet. I'm too afraid actually.
No, every single boss battle (but one) in ToB is different.Originally posted by: mk

Ascension is mostly a redesign of the Throne of Bhaal finale but there are also a couple of minor mods that you'll see earlier.
Whoops. I seem to have an older version that doesn't include the improved BS/DG battles. Completely forgot about them last time playing through the saga.Originally posted by: s44

I *strongly* recommend:
(1) Not playing Ascension your first time. It's hard. Really really really hard.
(2) Not playing the finale without going through the improved boss battles first. Unless you do, you'll have no idea what it's like. If you can beat the improved dragon boss, you have a shot at the finale. Otherwise, you could reload for (literally!) months without getting anywhere.
The finale in Ascension is very difficult. All the other fights are good practice.Originally posted by: you2
I'm not sure i understand point 2.
It's possible to play the original ToB and install Ascension right before the final fight.How do you not play the final without going through the improved boss battles first ?
