[B.E. Meathead]

I'm sure this topic has been posted 800 times before, but ... I'm new so I haven't seen it. My question is: when's a good time to battle him, and what strategies do you guys recommend? Obviously, equipping the fire resistance armors and having some fireshield spells, etc. ready is a starting point ... but I mean, beyond that - is there anything else to do other than hack away? And, roughly what levels should the character/s be at before going at it? Thanks.
