Try this:

Buff up with every conceivable protection spell you can think of before you enter the portal. Prot from Evil, Prayer, Recitation, Courage, Hope, Prot from Fire, Prot from lightning, magic resistance, and Entropy shield for those that can cast it. Then use potions of speed (not haste!). The battle is a long one and haste will leave your party fatigued before you finish the fight. Then enter the portal.

Right before the Luremaster appears, give your party instructions to scatter! Send them off in various directions to the right and left. This way, any dispel magics will at worst affect one or two characters when the spectral mages pop in! If you can, try to target the Luremaster with ranged weapons but that's only an added bonus if it works.

When the spectral heroes pop in - get right into their faces! try to take out the spectral mages first (upper left and upper right corners) as their dispel magics can be devastating. Ignore the luremaster! He's mostly going to pop around with those annoying dimension doors and the heroes are the more immediate threat! As the spectral heroes go down, take the freed up party member and double up on the remaining ones.

You should be able to take out the heroes in short order. That leaves the luremaster himself. Switch to ranged weapons and take him out! One dirty trick you can use is to start dumping death fogs and spike growths around the perimeter of the room. The luremaster hardly even teleports into the center of the room, so use that to your advatange! stay in the center, spread area effect spells around the perimeter and wail away with ranged weapons! He's stubborn but he will go down!

This worked for me on Heart of Fury mode. [img]smile.gif[/img] Long fight but very rewarding.
