The King of Shadows | The Final Battle Neverwinter Nights 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Now is yours last chance to rest and regroup. When you're ready, activate the portal in the middle of the room. The King of Shadows will show himself at last.

The battle consists of three separate phases. In the first one you're fighting a moderately strong form of the King of Shadows - just strike him fast and hard (but leave the best spells for later). When he disappears, you'll be attacked by smaller versions of him. They're quite strong and come in great numbers. You just have to defeat enough of them and the statues that surround you will be purified. You'll then face the final form of the enemy.

This time you first have to bring down all 5 of the statues. You can't normally attack them, so you'll have to right-click them and choose "Bash". It's best to divide the party into at least two teams and destroy the statues simultaneously. Keep the enemy busy by summoning creatures that he can kill. When all 5 statues are destroyed, use the Sword of Gith (you don't have to use the main character with it) to destroy the portal in the middle of the hall. It's quite resistant to damage, but there's no real way of speeding things up here. When you destroy it, all that's left it to finish off the King himself. Plus, watch a pretty lame ending scene. And that's it, folks.

HINT: The commentaries that you'll hear at the end depend on multiple choices you made throughout your adventure, such as Shadow Thieves' position in Neverwinter or the strength of the Keep.
