i cant remember meeting diamong unicorns on the peak, but i have met some high-level unicorns (crystal?) and had a lot of luck getting instant kills with siege arbalest/lightning bolts on fighter/rogue/bard types with 30-50 in bow while the spellcasting types are getting the shields up.

well if you havnt found them, they lurk right in front of the DD temple.

these suckers can also rear from a distance so just move, slash, and hope for the best. have some people equip with granite rings to resist quicksand. its like nessie trying to swallow you. DONT BE AFRAID TO TAKE CHANCES!

i guess i have seen them, then. i thought they were crystal, not diamond though. those are definitely the ones i've had heaps of luck shooting down with crossbows.

notably, a five-man party of mine including fighter, lord, valk, bard, all shooting siege arbalest/lightning bolt with 4 shots (2 attacks x 2 arrows) pretty much shredded anything at a distance. but to conserve ammo we'll often close and finish with excalibur, the mauler, fang, and dread spear. the poor bishop is mostly left "cheering" (buff, heal, check watch, yawn, stretch) from the back.

Hi all,

my first response at all. Hope it will help (probably not, because all of them who already met those Diamond Unicorns know how to deal with them )
But a minor Tip: u see them, react before engaging: take the "wrong" weapons for your melee members: hand and feet for fighters, rangers, shorts word for ninja and so on. they will be turncoated, but wont do much harm. the rest of the fight let the magic do

Thanks, Uwe. Good advice. You are welcome here.
