Originally posted by Agrippina: a) 5 guys with no +anything weapons. What do you do? Stoneskin + Mirror Image Greater Malison + Emotion Spell Sequencer: Greater Malison + Emotion + Slow Mordenkainen's Swords Skeleton Warriors b) 6 Umber hulks, what do you do? Laugh and cast Death Spell/Death Fog/Cloudkill. Take your pick. c) Spiders (don't think death spell works on sword spiders, do they? Anyway, 5 mutated spiders and 2 sworders coming after you, what do you do? Same as b) with the exception of Cloudkill, and Death Spell does work on Sword Spiders. d) Bloody elder orb and his two minions, what do you do? Cloak of Mirroring is of course the best option, but that is only available in Chapter 4. I recommend that you fight the Twisted Rune first and get the Staff of Magi. The SoM confers invisibility, and therefore, you can cast an area of effect(AoE) spell like say, Fireball/Cloudkill/etc... and hastily re-equip the SoM. Remember to cast these spells out of the Beholders' sight and this is possible because they are AoE spells. e) Irenicus with his bloody spell protections and time stop. What do you do? Spell strike? Nah, he just cast's something else... so what do you do? Beat on him with an army 100 Skeleton Warriors. Seriously though, use Project Image to summon as many Skeleton Warriors as you can. This is to kill off the Demons that Jon Irenicus summons. Eventually he will cast Death Spell, after that, cast more Project Images and summon more Skeleton Warriors and Mordenkainen's Swords. Use the swords to distract Jon Irenicus, he can barely hurt them. This will allow your more fragile but more damaging Skeleton Warriors to score hits on Jon Irenicus without getting interrupted. Mordenkainen's Swords last only for 2 minutes, so remember to re-summon them when appropriate. f) You are in mind flayer city, what do you do? Skeleton Warriors and Mordenkainen's Swords for the Illitids, Death Spell for the Umber Hulks. g) Taking on the demon in watcher's keep and his buddies (the guy at the end of level 3..the demon that sez, "What do you say, do you want to play?" --- BTW-- HE's so cool!) What do you do? The Cambion???? I do not fight him, there is a peaceful solution and I always choose it. If you really insist on fighting him, use Time Stop and Improved Alacrity to wreck havoc. The PRATI tactic comes to mind. Project Image + Robe of Vecna + Amulet of Power + Time Stop + Improved Alacrity.
