Don't forget: you can use summons to block entryways; used the canned varieties if you want level 6 elementals, as you can't seem to place anything over level 3 in the hallways with the spell version. I usually stand just to the south of ferro, summon an elemental behind me to block that gate, then face the rapax as they come around the corner. Chameleon really helps too, as you can get much closer to them, or even let large groups walk on by. Also, eye-for-eye is usefull (spell or potion) as the raps will usually end up freezing themselves by casting the freeze-all spell.

You will find that if the rapax do not have a direct path to you, they will not usually attempt to attack from that direction, so they won't even try to come from the direction you placed your elemental blocker in. also, this seems to keep ferro from doing anyting but defending, and keeps him out of combat most times. in contrast to what others here have said, I find him to be quite fragile and will often be done-in by one or two samurai.

Level 17-18 is plenty high enough to deal with rapax; i was taking them out easily at level 12-13.
