Ok Ive whacked this thing a few times using thiefs HLA and traps in the past. But in the party I have now I have no thieves. Cleric/ranger (me), Minsc , wesley, and Imoen are just getting creamed.

Any tips please ... note no cheese just standard tools of the trade please :D

Sorry Wellard I don't have any tactics for beating him however you don't need to fight him.
IIRC the XP is about the same if just renew the seals or one of the other non violent solutions.

The hard thing about him is that he keeps summoning so once you kill one summon anotheone appears. If you want to fight him just concentrate on him and nothing else.

I've given up before and renewed the seals but this is my last (yeah :rolleyes) good character walk through. And i'm not called well'ard for nothing :D

So how do I make chopped liver out of this guy? (without cheese)

HLAs. Think Energy Blades, Dragon's Breath and/or Comet and/or (Improved Alacrity + Energy Blades), Improved Whirlwind Attack... Anything that does a lot of damage in a short time and rain death upon him before he can get that many summonsses off.

Protection from evil, HLAs get your warriors chopping away at him with some good weapons. have your wizards drop dragons breath and comets on him.

Get a Cleric and use plenty of summons yourself.

Well, being a Cleric/Ranger yourself, cast Protection from Evil 10 radius, cast ironskins on yourself and buff up like hell. This should work just fine for your Cleric/Ranger.

OK did some more castings. and used them to keep his minnions occupied. Alowing the critical hits/ whirlwind affects of my team to concentrate on the "ONE" and just unleashed a few dragon breaths like suggested and

Bingo :D

Thanks guys

Demogorgan has high magic resistance(MR), and he is immuned to spells of level 1-6. Therefore, if you want to lower his MR, you will need to cast Pierce Shield. He will be very vulnerable to Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting after that.

Your melee guys can dish out the damage using Greater Whirlwind. Try using Breach from the Wands of Striking to remove his Stoneskins.

Use summons to occupy his minions.

Sooo he is immune to level1-6 spells. Does that mean he is unafected by level 5 'lower resistance'?

If so that would explain why getting imoen to cast them seemed not to help

Have all your fighters/rangers/paladins use greater whirlwind. He goes down like intern on Clinton. He's really not that difficult.

I actually just finished this part for the first time (And second time).
1. Main Character is a Evil Cleric of Talos (Second time around Main Character was a Cleric/Ranger of MUCH LESS level brought in through BG1 this took a 3 tries)
2. Sarovok (Minsc)
3.Korgan (Keldorn).
4. (Vironica)Jaheira
5.Imoen
5. Arie

I buffed everyone up like mad so you couldn't see the portraits anymore. Sent in my main character with Globe of Blades and Aura of Flame she basically sat there and took hits from the two beasts that the demon conjured (if you kill them first he brings more and more and MORE) tried to cast spells but the minons seem to hit you no matter what. Then I just let Sarovok and Korgan or Minsc and Keldorn hack away like mad! Imoen and Arie were just casting Pierce Magic, Greater Malison or using wands of spellstrik for the heck of it just in case that helps.
Evil Cleric party did it in one try with Arie diing (she always dies in all the boss battles but set's Minsc off and that is always works out good) I was so let down because I have a hard time with Dragons and I thought the Demon was to be harder BUT as long as the minons are kept to two I think its easy to go in and hack away. But then when I did the Imprisoned one with my Cleric/Ranger who was only in Chap 7 not in TOB yet. I got mopped up 3 times before we won. Lots and lots of potions of extra healing in his quick slots.
So, conclusion, for more fun and greater challenge go see the demon early.

You know, Dundee, along with your occasional Sarevock (with the added "c") you seem to be having trouble with Demogorgon's name as well [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Dang these names... ...

Personally, I enjoy an occasional C in Sarevok. Keeps me on my toes.

Idle thought....can the Imprisoned One be Imprisoned? True, it sends him a bit closer to his home plane, but it would be worth it just for the irony: Even if somebody casts Freedom for him, he's still locked up. :D

OOOOHHH good question Six of spades! [img]graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

please some one tell us the answer (I so wish I had thought of this before!)

He has an immunity ring, so this, combined with logic, says that he can't.

Probably should have left it alone.

Just soloed The Imprisoned One with my FMT God. His stats are all too powerful to not be considered cheese, so I'll only include my strategy for him:

Buff with blur/Imp Haste/Mirror Image/Protect from Magical Weapons/Stoneskin/Resist fear/Fireshield Red and Blue.

Contingencies are what I think won me the battle not to mention having an incredibly powerful char, so this might not work, and you might not want to try it. I collected multiple PfMW scrolls through my travels, so T.I.O. can't hit me, nor can his Glabrezus. What surprised me though was that I was unconscious during most of the battle wearing Jan's armor and Raraunch's Horn (again if it is too cheesy don't do it) and I still won mosly due to my fireshields. I summoned a planetar after I got hurt too much and to take care of the multiples of Glabrezus around me.

If possible, try and do this for Imoen, having her as the tank and load up on protection stuff. Make sure to have as many defensive scrolls on her as possible so you can cast them without interruption. Load her up with Magic Resistance too. While she's taking the beating, use your supporters to wail away with ranged weapons.
