| Baldur's Gate is a series of fantasy computer role-playing games set in the "Forgotten Realms" Dungeons & Dragons game world. It uses the Infinity Engine and Dungeons and Dragons game rules. The complete story arc is covered by Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, and the Throne of Bhaal expansion. The Tales of the Sword Coast expansion reveals additional areas but is not plot-critical. |
The Dungeon Siege II fantasy game art on this page has screenshots of the Ganth boss monster. The first Ganth encountered will probably be at the Kalrathian Water Chapel, where it guards the exit to the plateau from which water flows into aqueducts. Ganths are armed with massive axes and have the power to rile themselves up for a single massive blow that sends shockwaves out from the point of impact. What makes a Ganth such a formidable opponent, however, is the enchanted axe and the magical nature of this attack: The charged-up axe glows blood red flecked with black, indicating a life-drinking enchantment. The carnage from foes caught under the axe or in the shockwave infuses the Ganth with renewed life, sometimes healing it completely to fight as tirelessly as the battle began. Heroes can face a second Ganth minions in one of the final bouts at the secret, subterranean Aman'lu Arena; and more Ganths can be encountered on the slopes of Zaramoth's Horns. |
