Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance/Weapons

Each character has his or her own weapon needs. Fists are pretty useless unless you are Kromlech, and Adrianna can't carry two handed weapons except for the staff. Lastly if you unlock Drizzt, you have to stick to using the scimitars.

As with armor, you're going to need weapons to take down enemies that are either timid or overpowering. Keep in mind that weapons also add to the weight of your character.

Save up a ton of gold, because the weapons are insanely expensive but can help with your progress. Especially for Adrianna who has the weakest strength, she really needs powerful weapons to overcome the enemies. Same can be said for Drizzt, but that remains an option.

Type of weapons
Having a weapon is effective during battle depending on the kind you are carrying. In the beginning, you start off with a rusted dagger. Until you have enough gold, you just need to have an easier time taking down enemies.


 * One handed weapons: The sequence is attack, attack, attack, attack and pause. With this method, you should definetely carry a shield around you. So if you want a straight forward weapon and be able to block, this should be your first choice.
 * Two handed axes: The sequence is attack, attack, slight pause, sweeping arc and pause. All but Adrianna would be able to use this kind of weapon. Kromlech would be a good choice since the axe would really suit his style in terms of strength.
 * Two handed swords: The sequence is attack, attack, slight pause, big attack and pause.All but Adrianna would be able to use this kind of weapon. Vahn and Drizzt are well suited to these kinds of weapon because of its lighter flexibility than the axe.
 * Long weapons: The sequence is attack, attack, attack, knowckback, attack and pause. These powerful weapons would be able to take down enemies especially in the final act. For Adrianna, the only weapon she can carry is the staff.
 * Bows: All but Drizzt is able to carry this weapon. All you need is a bow and lots of arrows. Add accuracy and targeting, and you'll get the full picture. The best choice would be Vahn since he's the Arcane Archer.
