If this post is considered "thread necromancy", I apologise in advance.

I just wanted to confirm that it is, in fact, possible for a solo Cleric/Ranger to beat the final "boss" without resting (at least on normal difficulty, which I always play on since that is tough enough for me). My PC came out on top and did not even use all of his HLA's and summonses. Of course, he also died quite a number of times, especially when the "boss" could not be beaten down to "near death" quickly enough and then summoned too many minions.

The one weak spot of the cleric/ranger in this fight were his summons, which are limited (one high-level summons at any one time and only one chance to cast simulacrum using a certain helmet) compared to a magic user's nearly unlimited number of HL summons (using PI and Wish).

At any rate, I am glad that I did not give up on this character, who I found relatively easy to solo - I have had harder times using a full party.

Thanks to all who encouraged me to continue with this solo attempt !
