Know thy enemy and know thyself and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

He is a lich that resides in the docks. he is in the basement of the building right next to the hotel there. Before you can fight him he makes you run an errand for him however

Heres a map of his location: http://www.wn.com.au/dragonlord/docks_map.htm

What do you get for killing him anyway? I never tried getting all of his pieces together.

The ring of Gaxx - the best in the game:


Ring of Gaxx
This ring is relatively unadorned, but the vile magic within radiates intense evil. Indeed, its creator, Kangaxx, was no less evil himself, even before millennia of undeath honed his power. It is said that a cadre of Netheril mages fought and imprisoned the demilich once, but being unable to truly destroy him they became liches themselves to stand guard over his remains. The construction of the ring may have led to their enmity, as each of the gem's nine facets was supposedly empowered by sacrifice and death.

Spoiler! Spoiler! Spoiler! Spoiler!


Be careful when you finish Kangaxx's tasks. He's going to attack you. And when you kill his weak lich firm, he'll turn into the demilich!!!! This things likes imprisonment. You'll see what I mean. Magic resistance does not help, and you're going to have to dispell his shields to hurt him. He only has 50 hp, and should drop like a sack of potatoes after a sunray of false dawn.

I'm not sure if I have ever posted this on this forum, if so, I apologize to those who may have already read it. For those who have not, enjoy.

Anorath the Kensai/Mage, on a solo mission to rescue his friend Imoen from the clutches of a madman named Irenicus, sought to help a trapped soul by bringing him the golden torso, legs and arms requested of him, only to find that he had been duped by a very powerful Demi-Lich into reassembling the greatest of evil.
Of course he could not allow this type of evil to exist in the world as it would unbalance the delicate nature of good and evil (True Neutral) so, he told the creature to leave this plane, never to return and he would allow it to live.

Kangaxx only laughed and of course refused! He charged Anorath with a multitude of high level spells. Kangaxx was the first to attack as he had trapped the tomb with his unholy Symbols (Death, Stun and Fear).

Luckily, Anorath had summoned a Skeleton Warrior to stand at his side before speaking to Kangaxx and it was the target of the first attack. Anorath quickly cast a spell that would allow him to see through all the illusions the Liches are so famous for (True Sight), much to the chagrin of Kangaxx as his next move was to duplicate himself to try and outnumber Anorath.

There were several spells swirling around the tomb from both Anorath and Kangaxx: Fireballs exploded, Lightning bolts crashed and even Meteors rained. After an intense battle Anorath was sensing that the battle was soon to be over and he was feeling quite confident, so he cast a spell to make quick work of the foul creature (Improved Haste) and attacked Kangaxx with both his enchanted swords (Celestial Fury and Dak'kon Zerth Blade).

Anorath was quite relieved when he saw the Lich's carcass fall to the ground but, all of a sudden the magical beast rose once again! This time in the unnatural form of a golden skull that floated high in the air!

Anorath's relief was cut short when he realized that he had not killed Kangaxx but, he had released it's evil in it's most unholy form!

Anorath was taunted by Kangaxx as blow after blow that would kill any normal man or beast were deflected with ease. He realized very quickly that his normal weapons were not going to be enough to destroy this foul creature and threw down both his trusty swords that had earned him the reputation as "Hero Of Trademeet" and chose to use the most powerful weapon he possessed.

To the untrained eye it looked like a regular staff but, to those seasoned in the ways of Magical weapons it was was much, much more (Staff Of The Magi +5).

Kangaxx saw this and decided to end this charade quickly by using the most powerful of spells. A spell that would not just kill Anorath but, send him to the center of the Earth for all eternity (Imprisonment).

Luckily Anorath was smart enough and could cast his spells fast enough to avoid this fate that some say would be worse that death itself and protected himself with the greatest of his magicks (Spell Immunity - Abjuration).

Kangaxx was furious! No one had ever been able to aviod such a spell! He seemed not to believe that it was even possible as he kept casting it over and over again.

This gave Anorath the break he was looking for: He used a spell that doubled his physical prowess (Tensor's Transformation) and pummelled Kangaxx into oblivion with only his magical staff.

After the long, hard, grueling battle Anorath was at last victorious. He bent down to where Kangaxx had dropped his ring on the ground when he disintegrated. As he picked it up he could sense a great magick. He sat down and put his aching back up against the tomb and fell into a well deserved deep sleep.

(OK, OK, I know that was a little dramatic but, how would you feel after going one on one with Kangaxx?)

BTW - This was done 11/00, before all the spoilers about Kangaxx surfaced.

fdirs 07-24-2001 12:32 PM

Okay, okay, I found the arms and legs, but I cannot find the torso. If it is in the bridge district I must have just overlooked something because I thought I went over that place with a fine tooth comb. If anyone wants to fill me in even more that you guys have I will be thankful. Well I am going to look again anyway so....Wulp, I will be back in a little while if I can't find the torso.

oldbittercraig 07-24-2001 01:47 PM

Hey- I can't find that other lich, either. I just can't wait to cut him down...

deathknight 07-24-2001 07:42 PM

Head over to the Bridge District, where you'll enter another unmarked house right next to Delosar's Inn (x=1599 y=3354). Proceed to the basement and you'll come to another tomb, where you'll find yourself in battle with an Elemental Lich.
This building is the same building that twisted rune quest is in, just a different door (twisted rune if you have not done it is another must do quest in my opinion. for the experience of doing it and for the staff of magi). the door you want for this building is not the door facing the water, but the door facing the building directly next to it.

oldbittercraig 07-24-2001 07:46 PM

thanks, DK
