Seems that most people think that killing her at the level 15 is impossible. Here is how I did it:
I had all the enhancements "on" that you can cast while not in the combat mode. ie: magic screen...
I went on the top of the roadway to the Bayjin so the Nessie was pretty much unreachable from that point. Then I entered the combat mode and cast some silly area speel Hex at level one just to let nessie know that I am here. She will do only one attack per round and it could be anything like earthquake, hex, or similar. But your priest and mage should cast soul shield and magic shield at the first round and every once in while. Then you need to cast bless and start firing arrows and use slings as well. This will take tens or almost hundreds of turns. While in fight you need to constatly heal all and rest all and sometimes ressurect killed character although this may not happen at all. Also your priest or other healer may need to drink magic potions or your bard will need some stamina potions if you use him to cast "heal all".

So Nessie is history.....

If you read the post Going Down you will see that there are actually quite a few people who have killed Nessie at levels 15 and below. I thought it was nearly impossible myself the first time I took her on but the second fight was a totally different story.

Another trick with Nessie is cast an Elemental. I was way too weak but the E distracted her so much I could wear her down. It was a big surprise. Couldn't do it the first time from Mt. Gigas. Had to go the long way through Riidjan. Not sure what level we were, maybe 12 or more. She was still formidable, the party barely survived.

The best and easyes`t way i killed here (Level 14) my Bard used a dobble sling with "medusa stones" and she got paralyzed all the time and my Ninja, Figther and Samurai hacked her to death i 4 round`s!!

My recipie for Nessie sushi:

Start of battle:
All fighting characters: Superman potions:
Low Hit Point characters: Body of Stone potions:

Rest of battle:
Bishop: A "rest all" every 2nd round. - ( keep everyone fighting at their best level )
Bard: To begin with: Armourmelt ( increase the damage done by the fighters) , and Bless, then Heal All EVERY round - whether it looked at the start of the round if it was needed or not. ( Usually by the end of the round, it was ... !! )
