My party tore through the twisted rune, made mincemeat of the dragons, And now one frigging Lich is killing my character over and over. Y'all said he was hard and tough but pleeeaassseee! That just BS. I keep seeing "near death" when I hold my cursor over him and then he turns into a skull and I get the hand movie.

Once Again I would like to say BULLSH!T!!

Relax matey, there are many tactics to employ here. Firstly, when he becomes demi-lich form, he has 2 main attacks. The Demi-Lich howl and imprisionment. Counteract the first using a deathward spell on your tank, and the second can be avoided by a number of ways. If you have a berserker or Minsc, then enrage (barbarian rage does not work however). Otherwise, employ your mage with spell immunity in abjuration (your best bet), or spell trap (which will absorb about 3 imprisionments before you're boned). You can only hit him with +4 and above weapons, and use improve haste to double your attacks. Ring of the Ram does damage him too (and if you pick pocketed Tolgerias in the government district then you will have 2 of them!) so you can take a good 15-20 damage of his HP then (think he has 50 in this form). Demi-Liches have 100% magic resistance and 90% resistance to all forms of physical damage so you need to hit him hard and fast. Hope this helps.

ok, thanks

Err, ok, I'm alittle bit confused. Are you complaining about how EASY kangaxx was to beat? or how HARD? at first it sounds like you're asking for help, but then it sounds like you're complaining how easy he was.... just trying to clear this up.... ^_^;;

He says its bullshit that he killed everything including Kangaxx and then just http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/bluegrab.gif get squished http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/bluegrab.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...uble0smile.gif by the Demi-Lich

All you gotta do is either turn into the Slayer and kill him or summon a bunch of creatures for him to death spell/imprison then have a bunch of freedom scrolls to free your NPC's when they get killed.

Or just pickpocket him and improson him http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...uble0smile.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/nibble6.gif

Actually, you need a +4 or greater weapon (Crom Faeyr, Carsomyr, The Wave, several weapons in the underdark, or the flaming sword from the druid grove (+4 v.s. undead)) and a protection from undead scroll (or protection from magic if you are more paranoid). Give both to your best fighter, have the rest of your party out of sight (by the door), open the tomb, and read the scroll. The protection from undead scroll makes him ignore you; the protection from magic scroll make you immune to all his spells/special abilities. Just whack him until he drops (both times). http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Death is only the beginning...

I LOVE posting this I really really do. From Baldurdash its,

In old Athkatla in a house down by the dock
Lies an undead necromancer with a death trap on his lock.
If you should meet him you'll be soon deep down in rock
Sent by the Demi-Lich that they call Kangaxx.

If you're a brave one and your weapons are +4
And you've found the golden remains from the other tombs before:
With luck and skill you won't end up at Toril's core.
There must be fifty ways to kill your Kangaxx...
...Fifty ways to kill your Kangaxx.

So don't forget to pocket pick, Rick,
When he's just a plain lich, Mitch,
You'll get two Rings of Gaxx, Max,
Wear cumulatively.

You'll just get one to start, Bart.
And when the first lich is slain, Jane
He'll go to Demi-Lich state, Nate:
Act immediately.

Read your Protection from Magic, Vajic,
Or all read Scrolls of Undead, Fred,
But not until he's gone Demi, Remi,
Or he won't talk to thee.

Summon up a Wizard Eye, Guy;
Kangaxx can't imprison that, Matt.
Cast yourself a Spell Immune, June,
Abjuration's the key.

What sort of weapons does it take to fell this foe
Who's survived without a challenge since centuries ago?
Are they expensive and where do you have to go...
...To get rid of Kangaxx?

Some tools are pricey; perhaps you have no cash to spare
And you can't shoplift from Ribald as the Amnish Guard is there.
With all your abilities it doesn't seem unfair
To have a cheaper way of killing Kangaxx...
...Cheaper way of killing Kangaxx...

Wield the Improved Disrupting Mace, Grace,
Or the Sling of Everard, Gerrard,
You could use the Staff Of Rynn, Lynn,
Better than +3.

Knock him down with Crom Faeyr, Blair,
Or the Magi's Stave, Dave,
Could try the Withering Spear, Keir,
To kill him expensively.

But, the Carsomyr sword, Gord,
Soulreaver from the Demon Knight, Dwight,
Cutthroat from the tomb of Bodhi, Cody:
Can be had for free.

So make all the snares you can, Dan,
And every Fire Elemental, Yentl.
Get Hasted and Berserk, Kirk,
For 55K X.P.

Dang dude relax! You know I have always thought liches were the ultimate monster in D&D damn near unkillable (now on paper they may not be but from a roleplaying perspective no dm should put a lich in a position to be killed in a straight up fight. liches are too cunning for that). Anyhow Kangaxx turns into a demi lich which really is one of the nastiest monsters in all of d&d even on paper.
That being said I found kangaxx to be one of the easiest quest type fights once the proper strategy was used. You just need to approach the battle from a different way since it seems you are not having any luck with your current strategy.

I love that little poem! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
