Yoshimo: I've never tried it, too, but I've heard about this method. It was reported as a fully functional one. Drawback: After returning from the Underdark and un-stoning Yoshimo, Yoshimo will be a low level character because he loses all the XP which you gain on your way through Asylum and following areas.
Has anybody tried to stone Yoshimo in Brynnlaw and unstone him immediately after emerging from Asylum? This would decrease Yoshimo's losses of XP.
The demon: Only a solo sorceror or a sorceror as a member of a small party (say, 3 members) can do it. Moreover, you must install level 50 rules. The problem here is that the demon is protected from death caused by HP = 0. You can beat it and cause that it will have only 1 HP but - the demon will never lose its 1 HP no matter how long you will beat it further. Some other special beings behave the same way.
Nevertheless, the demon (as well as other similar special beings like Arkanis Gath, Bhaal and so on) isn't protected from death caused by INT = 0. Therefore, shapeshift to mind flayer (a level 9 spell, that's why we need a sorceror, a small party, and the level 50 rules) and drain demon's INT. I've never tried it as well so that I cannot say what happens when you kill Bhaal and so on.
Note: Has anybody tried a weapon with "delayed effect", like Jhor the Bleeder or Gnasher, on the demon? I remember that I killed a Mist Form with such weapon once. The game get confused a bit: the Mist Form didn't evaporate or something like that - it ceased moving as if it were paralyzed and the info box said: "Mist Form - dead". Let us note that the Mist Form is supposed to be invulnerable, too. If the weapon worked at the Mist Form, perhaps, it would work at the demon, too. I don't know.
