In my opinion, Baldur's Gate II is far better, but what do I know, I'm only a deity......  |

Hey Vhearun the allknowing, maybe you should tell him of the big metal unit? Since I would hate to see minionslayer missing it.

I'l give you a short explinasion. But Vhearun knows much more about this then I. Big metal unit is a kick ass armor you get one piece of in each baldurs gate game, I missed it myself so I tought that Vhaerun should give you the fact about how to get it since it is VERY easy to miss.

Quite, in fact, if you don't save all the pieces from BG1, BG2, and BG2 ToB, you cant have access to this wonderful item. If you are interested in knowing more, just post. Hmmm, Zin'tril, Vhaeraun the All-knowing, I could begin to like that...... |

This is a guide detailing the Big Metal Unit, and how to acquire it. Mind you it is quite long, but if you have the patience to read it, it helps, lol.
This is a Guide from Planet Baldur's Gate.This guide was prepared by MageDragon, Pillsburyboy and Silverdawn. I hope you find it useful.
The designers at BioWare put in an A Super Armor/Weapon spanning all three Baldur's Gate titles (Not including BG ToSC). The Big Metal Unit is the end result. To create the Big Metal Unit, you must aquire an item from all three games; Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.The items are the Golden Pantaloons in Baldur's Gate, the Silver Pantaloons in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and the Bronze Pantalettes in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.
Golden Pantaloons: In the beginning of Baldur's Gate, the story line pushes you really hard to go to the Friendly Arm Inn to speak with Jaheira and Khalid. Follow the story along and go there.On the third floor of this fine establishment, you will find a Nobleman located at X 325 Y 673. Agree to do his laundry and he just up and gives you the Golden Pantaloons. What a nice pair of pantaloons they are! On top of that, if you are nice, he will give you a few gold pieces to boot. Not a bad deal. Make sure you save them the rest of the game, and have them in inventory when you export your character for import into Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.
Silver Pantaloons: This time it is not as easy. You must complete a quest for the Silver Pantaloons. There are two ways to deal with said quest, evil and not so good. For some players the evil path no big deal, for others it is. You lose two reputation points when all is said and done going evil. So just go donate at the local temple and get the points back. You get less XP going the not so good way but no reputation loss. Either way rejoice that you have the Silver Pantaloons!
After you have started Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and imported your character from Baldur's Gate that has the Golden Pantaloons its time to find them again. You can reclaim your Pantaloons behind the trapped locked painting at X 3117 Y 2691. This is the room with the Jailkeep Golem. Now precede post haste to Chapter Two. Head to the Graveyard District and then to the grave at X 989, Y 669. Click on it and this will start the "Buried Alive" quest.
So that we do not spoil it for anyone, we will not tell you how to solve this quest. Lets just say that at some point, you should meet up with Lady Elgea at X 521 Y 354 in the Bridge District. As mentioned, there are two ways to doing this, evil and not so good. Evil: Tell her you will free her after you have received the ransom for yourself. Now, in the same room, read the note found in the cabinet at X 399 Y 225. It tells you to go outside the Copper Cornet in the Slums District after dark to meet Welther at X 2039 Y 2669. Tell him you are there for the ransom and take your reputation hit. Not so good: When you meet Lady Elgea, tell her that she is in no position to demand anything. Your next selection is that you have not made up your mind. Read the note in the cabinet and go to the Copper Cornet after dark. Find Welther, yet do not say a word and just use your theif to pickpocket him for reward. Return to Lady Elgea and let her go for less experience points than if you had just let her go. You, my friend, now have a shiny new pair of Silver Pantaloons. Oh my! And what a fashion statement they are, as well.
You now have two of the three pieces you need. Again make sure you save both pantaloons for the rest of the game and have them in your inventory when you export your character for import into Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.
Bronze Pantalettes: Acquiring the Bronze Pantalettes is the funniest adventure of all three. Import the character that has the Golden and Silver Pantaloons into Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal and start playing the Add-On Section (i.e. not Watcher’s Keep).
In order to not spoil anything, we will be as vague as possible about the plot and just stick to locations. At some point in the game, you will find yourself at Abazigal’s Lair in the grand quest for a Scroll of Reversal. During the course of the quest you will run into Iycanth the Mad at X 544 Y 685. He will inform you that he will give you the scroll you seek if you get him the eyestalk of a Beholder. If you balk at him saying the quest is beneath your Child of Bhaal stature, he will tell you that some adventurers will help you. This is the fun part. You find the young adventurers (Bondari, Nanoc the Barbarian and Tim Goldenhand) around the area of X 610 Y 756. They are very much turned to stone. Use a Stone to Flesh spell or scroll to free them. Tell them of the quest for the eyestalk, talk them into it, and sit back and laugh. Eventually, they will return to give you the eyestalk for Iycanth and the highly stylish (and chafing) Bronze Pantalettes. Boxers or briefs? Not only did you get a good laugh, but now you have all three items to make the Big Metal Unit. Time to head to Amkethran for assembly.
The Big Metal Unit: Now that you have all three items, head to the town of Amkethran. Heal and rest, then go directly to see Kerrick the Smith at X 408 Y 375. Invite him to look in your inventory and he will go berserk about the fact you have all of the items. He will make the Big Metal Unit for you and a few accessories. He will then leave to go lecture to those pesky gnomes about it at the University. After all the work you did spanning all three games, saving all three items, you now possess the Big Metal Unit. You even get accessories to go along with your Big Metal Unit: the Big Metal Rod with Frag Grenades, Pulse Ammo and Scorcher Ammo. When you equip the Big Metal Unit, your character gains an AC of -10, 5% magic resistance and can still use magical AC reducers, such as Rings of Protection. Your character's avatar and paperdoll are now represented as a Juggernaut Golem. Use your fists or the Rod in your butt-kicking for goodness adventures. Go forth and make Boo proud.

As strange and disturbing as this may sound I actually managed to aquire that unit during my first ToB game. The armour sucks, really. And and all abilitys in BGII that are about Shapeshifting, or altering the "Paper Doll" at all, all bug the game, slightly, and you character keeps 'lagging' all the time hes in the 'shapechange'. Damn annoying I tell you! |
