And whats wrong with doing all the three? My mobile-artille... hm.. sorry, my solo sorcerer did all three in no time. Take some cheesed-in Planetars, mix with Mordenkainen's Swords, add some enemies (who cares which ones?) and shake well. Lots of xp at no cost [img]smile.gif[/img]

Being serious, mordenakinen's swords are the answer to illithid problem, and the rest is a game. Also, IIRC, my berserker did all the illithid lair alone - Jaheira stood back, occasionally casting some CCs on him (not Chain Contingencies [img]smile.gif[/img] ). A general advice - boost your Ac and try to deliver as much damage per round as you can. A good illithid is a dead illithid [img]smile.gif[/img]

BTW, i did all the locations ever before I met Adalon/visited the drow.
