After entering this region, I fought some frightmares and sigs and then made the mistake of going into the temple where I got immediately crushed by elementals, witches and guardians. Can anyone give me any useful hints on how to beat this group? I have all 12 level characters. Thanks.

I waited until I was level 16 or so before entering. I didn't fight directly. I took the gem at the entrance and hide near the door. Each moster came by small groups. So I could kill them easily. Just be sur to cast Soul Shield because of the Death Knights.

1.) What is your level? (You really need around lvl 16.)

2.) A lot of people like to hide around the corner. However, I discovered that the death lords could cast the death spell without line of sight, so I decided to take it straight at them.

3.) Enchanted blade etc before hand, element/soul shield immediatly. Potions of superman for all but casters.

4.) Your elementals should be better than theirs.

5.) Silence will shut those casters up, use your bard.

You can also use the Lure spell/gadeteer item to bring the cultists out to you and kill them off before taking out the sorc. & Death Lords.

a good start is to cast Mind Flay lvl 7 and perhaps falling stars lvl 7.
then the cultists are dead and you may run away and camp.
now you can fight the two lords who are really strong because of their damn death cloud and the queen

i used death wish and the sigs will die instantly [img]smile.gif[/img] and went head to head with rest there weak. i got picks off me standing next to queen and death knights. get canned elem. at shops and give 1 to each member and let them all fight it out while you hide or take cheap shots.

Protection spells such as magic screen, soul shield and element shield can help to soften their spell attacks. Eye to eye is very useful here. Have either your spellcaster cast it or get your gadgeteer to use the particular gadget that can produce the same spell effect. The death wishes from the deathlords gets reflected back and that will remove most of the elementals and cultists ater a while. Just concentrate you firepower on the queen and the deathlords. You may have some death from your side in the fight as the level of your characters is still a bit low..but I manage to do it with characters between level 13-14 and suffer one death(deathwish).

I found that "eye for an eye" was invaluable in the battle. I was struggling along, fearing certain death, when the spell kicked in and killed off a bunch of elementals. After that, it was much easier.

Do NOT enter this place before you are abouth level 15-16 then have ALL protecktive spells up BEFORE entring the place then entring cast "Soul and Elementale skild at max" then run up to the D. Lords kill them and the Queen and the Coultists" dont bother abouth the Elementals they are only regulare elementals and is not that powerful! Also cast "Superman and Haste spells" that helps a lot to!

Also use the spell "Purify Air" to get reed of the nasty Clouds spell they cast"
