What sort of weapon will hurt and kill Kangaxx?

Any weapon that is +4 enchantment or higher.

This includes spells like Melf's Minute Meteors.

The "ultra" weapons like Staff of the Magi, Carsomyr, (Improved) Mace of Disruption, or anything else that has +4 or better enchantment.

While all of these weapons will work, realize that Kangaxx also uses protective spells. If he has protection from magical weapons active, then no weapon will hit him (spell protects vs. magical, lichiness from normal)

There are a few items that work well too, like the Ring of Ram, Sunray ability of the Daystar.

Also, if you look at the top post by Dundee, there is a link in his signature to guides on how to beat Kangaxx and some other common topics.

Mace of Disruption +2 will work perfectly.... also use Pierce Magic and Anti-Spell protection (Ruby Ray of Reversal, Khelbens Warding Whip ect.) spells to make him more effected by the smacks you give him with the mace (each hit has a change of destroying undeath (saving trow vs. death(-4penalty) or be utterly destroyed)... this is the Weapon of Cheese vs Liches (elemental, Shade, Kangaxxx and al the other Undeath in the Amn Region)

also a protection scroll vs Undead is an option to use towards kangaxxx (total immunity from Undead)...

Two minor corrections - Mace of Disruption +1 will not work against Kangaxx (as it counts as +3 weapon), and spells such as Pierce Magic, RRoR and Warding Whip are useless, since Kangaxx is immune to level 1-9 spells.

Indeed... sorry for the bad info then... kangaxxx is a lich like no other, most of the other liches ARE affected by level 1-9 spells, and MoD +1 wont work indeed but the MoD +2 will do the trick.

Heh... Time to clarify things. ;)
Liches are immune to level 1-5 spells.
Demi Liches are immune to level 1-9 spells.

saw so many topics on kangaxx expecting something truly awesome

then i killed him the first time,,,,, all ya need is the improved mace of disruption its only logical , he is undead afterall.

maybe a bit cheesey but hey it does the trick
oh and prot from imprisonment helps , i used spell imunity and the scrolls

the thing im really really really struggling with is...... the beholders lair !!
but heh offtopic there
see ya

Oh god, hardest place yet. The main prob is that they can see you and you can't see em. My advice would be to summon monsters as decoys, haste your guys up, make the monsters charge ahead, followed by your parts. Then when they attack monsters, you go right after them. Throw in some fireballs and AOF spells (Area of Effect).

IIRC, daystar had the hidden enchantment necessary to hit him..? If not, I've got too confused with the item upgrade mod ;)
Just want to add: enchantments on missile weapons do not stack. You cannot him him with a +2 sling and +2 bullets. The sling of everad, provided it has no ammunition, and the short bow of gesen will work.

Daystar can't hit Kangaxx. ;) Improved Daystar can, however.
