<font color = aqua>I've just been given a quest to escort Sondale of Shimmerene through Telasero. When I got to Telasero there was a note pinned to the door saying that she thought it was safe and was going down to check it out (what a plonker). Anyway I met a few ash people who were easy enough to dispose of and found Sondale and started to escort her out of the place but there's this giant size walrus looking mage called Dagoth or something like that with some pretty powerful magic blocking the entrance. My question first of all is, ....is this the final beast I'm supposed to defeat? Because I don't want to finish the last part of the game until I've done almost all the quests, and if not, what are some best practices for taking him out. Thanks in advance for your help. </font>

No, i don't think that's Dagoth Uhr, he waits for you at Red Mountain, it could be one of the vampires. Can't you levitate and shoot some fireballs on him ? Or arrows, if you have a bow ?

<font color = aqua> I could give it a whirl, my levitation time doesn't last long though.</font>

If you have a few restore magic potions, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

<font color = aqua> Not a single potion on me actually, maybe I'll stop by a traders in Molag Mar before I head off there again.</font>

I don't suppose you've found the wizard staff yet ?

<font color = aqua> No, sorry Johnny. Wish I could help you out more but I haven't come across that quest yet. Grungi, Rageheart and Mellagar should be back Monday morning and I'm sure one or all of them will have something for you to work worth. </font>

Vixen.
You'll run into 'Dagoth <blank>' worshippers throughout many parts of the game. They're just worshippers, waste them with extreme prejudice.

eek vixen knows my schedule [img]tongue.gif[/img] you got the cia (or equivalent canadian authority) keeping tabs on me or someat

when i got the wizards staff i simply went and bought it instead of going off to find it (i wanted to advance quickly and not walk around alot [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Am I being watched by the Canadian Secret Police?! I knew that white van parked outside my house was...suspicious.

Anyhow, the creature you describe is what is called a "sleeper." They do have quite a bit of magic to throw at you, but don't really pack a punch fist-wise. If you are of lower level then use protection from fire, shock, and poison, as these are the three spells they love to use. With a decent weapon and good strength you can dispose of them quickly in a one on one fight. However, if you are of lower level then buying spells of skeleton minion summoning would come in handy. Let the summoned monster take the brunt of the fight, then when your summoned friend is killed or disappears then go in for the kill. Zis iz not a prublem faer me, ahz ah am a leval 73 adventuraer, and when ah it ah munstaer...they disappaer.

But as I said before it all depends on your level. If at 35, go in for the kill. If 25, better have some potions and magic. If 15...run. If level 5.....unless you're coked up on moon sugar I don't know what you would be doing there.

Dagoth Ur, as said before is in Red Mountain, so this is just an ancient sleeper. Put him to sleep...

I wasn't asking a question for help about the staff, i already got that one. I was asking if YOU had it already so that you can levitate much longer. It keeps you up in the air for 120 seconds, that should give you plenty of time to kill your enemy.

<font color = aqua> No staff as of yet, but I haven't had a chance to check and see if what I have already will be enough. I'll keep you updated. Thanks again for your help.

@</font><font color = blue> Mellagar</font><font color = aqua> and</font><font color = white> Grungi</font><font color = aqua> I don't need spy's you're just very predictable, and always reply to those in distress. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Like said above it is a "Ascended Sleeper" not to easy but not too tough. They really dislike lightning (hint hint)

*Jumps out of the shadows in long underwear and a Mickey Mouse hat.*
Weren't expecting that, now were you!

Matter of fact.... yes, i WAS expecting that from you. [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img]

Yeah ascended sleepers they be....YOu can actually talk to them you know, right before they know youre an enemy. THey said allt this stuff about being death is not the end and whatnot. But if you sleep.....how can you be ascended???!?! I m so confused....Mellagar, Help!!!!

*jumps out with a large sword and slays a village* ha! bet you werent expecting that, hmmm well maybe you were but the villagers werent [img]smile.gif[/img]

i eat canadian secret police for breakfast.... with cornflakes a bit of milk and some sugar, oooo they go down a treat with a muffin, ahem.

anyhows im about as predictable as a rattlesnake in heat just not when it comes to posting on this forum [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color = aqua> Thanks rageheart. I think I'll avoid trying to strike up an intelligent conversation with them all the same. </font>

<font color = aqua> You know Grungi, this is a family forum and there may be some people that really don't want to know about your depraved sexual habits at breakfast.</font>

Canadianvixen is right, we all need to help grungi so he stops his strange and gross habits.

eh i was merely making a metaphor not outlining my depraved sexual practices, erm i mean my sexlife (thats right grungi just keep digging that hole) anyhows was only a metaphor i mean i dont really do anything with rattlesnakes, jeez the sick minds you people have

I would like to say first and foremost...I have no idea what any of you people are talking about.........

Fear not Rageheart for I have the answer. The answer is....THE MIGHTY RUBBER DUCKY!!! Let it guide you little grasshopper...and turn not away from its holy squeakiness. *Squeak squeak* What's that rubber ducky? *squeak squeak squeak* Yes ducky, I will tell them. Ducky says that they are called Ascended Sleepers because they sleep upright. RIGHT DUCKY! *SQUEAK*

Aaah, my quest has come to an end. That is why they are called ascended sleepers!! Praise King Ducky!!!!!! All hail Ducky!
