Even though you cannot summon anything inside the hut (there is not enough room), you can actually simulate the effect (i.e., get a "target dummy" to draw at least some of the Don's attacks) quite easily. The Don has very high resistances to practically anything, but Milano does not. Simply Turncoat Milano; that's what I do. If you are lucky, the Don will even kill Milano for you while you are happily hacking away at the Don.

As for the Don himself, aside from beefing up your fighters (Haste, Superman, Enchant Blade etc.) and casting Armormelt there are not many tricks that will work consistently against him. Don't waste your time & spellpoints on offensive magic against him; they will be better spent on Heal All, Rest All and Cure Poison in this fight.

My most memorable fight? There have been so many that it's hard to pick one. Fighting Nessie is always memorable. Here's one pretty good one from my current game: my party was fighting a horde of hostile Rapax in the castle (15 - 20 Rapax Samurais, Warmages, Warlocks etc.). I had already killed most of them, maybe 7 or 8 were still left, mostly Warlocks that had stayed behind and were still harassing my party with their spells. I decided to let my Bard use the Chaos Drone to break their ranks for a round or two so I could close in on them. Unfortunately, she FAILED, and the Chaos Drone backfired. RFS-81 (the only NPC in my party) went insane. "Ha-ha-ha." (By far the best Insanity quip in the whole game.) I ordered one bishop to cast Sane Mind on RFS-81. Unfortunately, RFS-81 had a better initiative, and the droid *critically* hit the bishop, killing him instantly. Next round, the other bishop would resurrect the dead bishop. That he did, but RFS-81 killed the bard, too, before he could be Sane-Minded. (At that stage, btw, the dead bishop was the only one who could cast Sane Mind.)

Well, I won that combat, but at one stage it did not seem too certain.
