Any hints appriciated [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: Oh and how on earth am I supposed to take out that Greater OTyugh? His regeneration is just too much...

I beat him with a sorcerer, albeit with a rather cheesy tactic. I simply stacked shitloads of Skull Traps (must've been 10+) and then tried to lure them all into the skull field at the same time, those traps don't always activate instantly like normal snares do, so it's possible to drag every single one of them within the blast radius before they go off [img]smile.gif[/img] The Golem is a bit tricky to deal with, but Haste yourself and use MMM + Hit'n'Run to kill him.

You can easily take care of the Otuygh with a simple Dispel Magic and then just bombard him with Melf/Flame Arrows and Magic Missiles. Mirror Images should take care of the Dolorius Decay nicely.

How the heck did u get 10 skulls? I only got four at my lvl. I assume you've rested and casted more skull traps? Btw what will detonate a skull trap? If you or a friendly summon walks over it will it detonate? I imagined the only possible solution would be to take them out with skulltraps, though Im not too familiar with the spell.

Melfs Acid arrows will stop him from regenerating right? And Flame arrows will do the damage part I guess...

Yep, cast all your Skull Traps and then sleep. Skull Traps *never* disappear so you can in theory stack infinite amounts of them. Anything can set off a Skull Trap, so make sure neither you or any of your summons walk near them. The easiest way to lure them to the traps is to cast a Fireball right in the middle of their party, that will attract them all at once.

About the Otuygh, his regeneration comes from a spell he casts. Casting Dispel Magic will dispel it. Melf/Flame Arrows and Magic Missiles aren't meant to do anything but take him down [img]smile.gif[/img]
