STRATEGY FOR ANY CLASS!!!! (should i save this?)

Purchase: One (1) Protection from Magic Scroll (PfM)
One (1) Protection from Undead Scroll (PfU)

Acquire: One (1) +4 or better weapon (ex. Staff of Rynn from Adventurer's Mart, Cutthroat +4, Carsomyr +5, Staff of the Magi +5, etc...)

Strategy: Enter the tomb, put each scroll into your quick-item slots. Approach the "catwalk" leading to the casket. Click on casket, go through dialogue, then re-click to awaken Kangaxx (if you're quick, a Thief or Bard can pick his pocket before he turns hostile and get a 2nd ring of Gaxx, do this by pausing just after the "raising" animation is over, this works with ToB installed).

Once he's up, and goes through his threats, cast the PfM scroll on HIM! This will cause all spells, even innates, to fail. Proceed to whallop the stuffing out of him. When he turns into the Demi-Lich, use the PfU scroll on yourself, and continue whalloping. If you are soloing, make sure to block the "catwalk" so that when his morale breaks he doesn't zip by you. If you are partying, before he transforms, lure him over to the far left corner, keeping the rest of your party at the entrance, this will keep your party out of his line of sight once he turns into the demi-lich and you read the PfU scroll.

Conclusion: This strategy has worked 100% for me, never once being killed, and with quick reflexes, you can have 2 rings for the price of just 2 scrolls (and weapon...).

Weapons that affect Kangaxx are any that are +4 and above, and also these:

Flame Tongue +1 (its +4 vs. Undead)
Warhammer +1, +4 Vs. Giantkin (your guess is as good as mine)
Mace of Disruption +1 or +2 (will drop most Undead in no time flat)

Feel free to add to this, but it works every time...
