(This is probably cheese, though one 'veteran' did give me a thumbs up on this a long time ago...
If you've had enough of trying to kill illithid normally, a very easy way is to have 2 or three people invisible and block the doorway. Cast Chaotic Commands on one or two fighters with ranged weapons so they won't get psionic-blasted, and have them let loose (returning weapons & self-generating ammo are preferred). Usually you can get two rooms done before the Chaotic Commands expires, otherwise consider Oils of Speed. It doesn't matter if the invisible blockers get psionic-blasted, because all they have to do is stand there.
Sorry if it's considered cheese, but at least it wasn't the cloudkill-and-shut-the-door trick... the raise dead idea is interesting and non-dairy, might try that next time... oh BTW I read that even Minsc can take out the flayers solo if he is super-ultra buffed, armor-wise, the illithid simply can't hit him if the AC is at -15 or whatever)
