[Psycho]

Hi,

Nessie`s a hard fight, but shouldn`t be a problem... I defeated her yesterday with a lvl 12-13 party (Fighter-Ranger-Bishop-Bishop-Gadgeteer-Bard + RFS-81) on expert difficulty without losing a char.

Keywords: Superman + Element shield

This is how I did it...
Get as close as possible without her noticing you (chameleon)... start combat yourself, so you get 1 free round.
Make sure one of your chars gets of an offensive action or spell so Nessie notices you.
Get Soul + Element shield on + get all of your melee chars to take superman potions.You should of course have all protective spells up and running anytime.

Second round run up to Nessie - this is the first round she can attack, but with all defenses up, even an eartquake didn`t kill a single char.

With superman you should be hitting her quite easily... bishops and bard kept casting Heal all and rest all every other round.

I found offensive magic pretty useless... might help on lower difficulty, but on expert, they have 0 result (only armormelt has effect). I tried all condition spells on level 7 (insanity,hex,sleep,web...), no effect.

You can cast some elementals, but there nothing more than a small distraction for Nessie.

It took me 23 rounds (she casted body of stone), but you don`t get +150000 XP/char for nothing.
If you have more melee power than me, it should go faster... but I like my party as it is.
I add RPC`s for extra melee power... expert all the way baby.

Signed,
One sick Psycho
