I´m stunned that no one in this forum is cursing how hard this guy is. I´we playd the game through counless times with tactics on insane and this fight is the one that still keeps causing me serious troubles.

Some spoilers about Alhoons race and powers ahead. And more spoilers about his companions.

Last time I played chp 2 I saved this fight for the last and still he was able to kill my entire party bar PC. (Since I´m trying the druidic Sorc-class I´m quite over powered

So the battle starts with some umber hulks, mind fliers and ulitharids. One death spell and several Carsomyr / Sword of Arvoreen strikes later thers only my party and Alhoon left. He was protected from magical weapons so I took the standard "Keldorn dispell and kill that annoying mage" -routine. No effect what so ewer. Remowe magic just as useless. So I thought that pierce shield or RRoR should help with that (I thought to be spell immunity). To use those you have to see the target. Alhoon had cast shadow door (well that´s what I thought) and was partially invisible. So again I used the standerd "Keldorn cast true sight and kill that annoying mage" -routine just to find out the text box saying spell ineffective=( I tried Glitter dust too with the same result.

So in short you have to fight a mage who,

-cannot be targetted by direct target spells
-have divine MR
-immune to dispell by any means
-likes to cast ADHW`s
-seems to go invisible when likes to
-is cheesy so many ways I cannot make a complete list here

and is ulitharid with all ulitharid fighting capabilities!!!

I did manage to kill him / it just when he was "dimension dooring" away. (How come if the fight take too long some baddies just take a hike like that?) In the end he was all out of offensive spells (didn`t stop his invisibility abilities) and fighting 5 sword spiders (who apparently don´t have magical weapons). And beeing still protected from MW and with fire shield red and blue.

So am I missing some too obvious tactic with this dude or does eweryone else just beat him with out any problems? Please feel free to spoil me with any tactics on this one.
