Kangaxx

Which level should you be to kill Kangaxx. I'm going to start chapter 4 should I try to kill him.

[Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs]

well, it depends what level your party is, not what chapter you're in. if you haven't done Trademeet, Umar Hills, D'Arnise Keep, or Windspear Hills, you probably can't handle him. with a little strategy, you may be able to do it. Scrolls of Protection from Magic and Undead can be found in the city, and so can some +4 weapons. (Staff of Rynn, Mace of Disruption +2, [+2 to hit, but counts as +5] Sling of Everard +5) you can also use the Ring of the Ram and Spell Immunity: Abjuration.

When soloing, i always kill him before chp 4. with a party, it's up to you. it doesn't hurt you to try. (provided you SAVED before attacking him)

with proper strategies, he's incredibly easy. for the past 8 times i killed him, i only had to try once. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ehmmmm but if ya trie to kill him he wil cast imprisement [img]graemlins/uhoh2.gif[/img] at the character who is closest to him so cast spell immum. abjuration

For some reason the Mace of Disruption didn't work for me. I had to go with Flame Tongue and the Ring of the Ram along w/ Prot from Magic scroll.

It's actually easy, although not as fun this way.

Buy a couple of scrolls of protection against undead and you will get him. Don't forget to have a +4 weapon at hand.

Only the Improved Mace of Disruption works...that is, you have to upgrade it via the Illithium you can get in the Sir Sarles quest. That'll make it count as +5 vs. undead (although it's not stated).

[Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs]

the improved MoD counts as +5 to hit for everything. the game cannot have more than one definition for its "to hit" bonus in figuring what it can hit. it can adjust the actual thac0, but not the figurative "to hit" bonus. that is why the daystar +4 v. undead doesn't even scratch him, because it is defined as a +2 longsword.

and tom, scrolls of protection from Undead or Magic will make imprisonment (though it's technically the "demilich ghoul-hand") useless. mages with SI:A are only good as a distraction while the Undead protected fighter smacks kangy in the head. Ring of the Ram is also good because it does 20-30? damage, and kangaxx only has 50 hp. he regenerates one hp every 3 seconds, and absorbs 90% of all physical damage, so the magic Ring of the Ram is especially good, since kangy is immune to spells.
