I haven't actually faced Ch6 Bodhi yet, but I have defeated Ch3 Bodhi (Core) with Anomen, rather easily in fact (Anomen's hit points never dropped below 100).

Use Limited Wish to give everyone in your party NPP, then send all your buffed fighters after her.
Her Vampire Mages should not be immune to undead killing tactics. Bodhi auto. charms undead so you shouldn't turn them, but you could try something else.

Potions helped me a lot, more than spell buffs in fact (i didn't have access to Im. Haste and powerful buffs like that), to defeat Bodhi. Look at your potions.

I am unclear on how summons can help. In Ch3 Bodhi Death spells any summons I bring to help.

What special abilities does Bodhi gain in Ch6? In Ch3 on core, she only has her fireshield, touch of death (animation like vampiric touch), sleep spell, and death spell.

Also, when fighting Anomen I noticed she missed on rolls of 17 and lower (!?!) even though her thaco is -8 and anomen ac is -15. The only explanation I could think of for this is that her claws do crushing damage for some reason, and when I tested this it was correct. So, have your tank drink 2 potions of absorption (which last for 10 turns) and Bodhi will need to roll a natural 20 to hit him.

Also, I noticed her touch of death was blocked by my MR, so maybe MR does affect her special abilities. Two potions you can use to build up your resistance are the potions of magic protection (+MR) and magic shielding(+M Damage R, and you auto roll saving throws).
