Dealing with WK (spoilers)

[Vedran]

No, I am not asking for tactics on defeating our favourite demon prince.

As you all know, the dealing with Demogorgon is truly a test of one's alignment and roleplaying. I am interested in:
1° all the ways in what the Keep can be finished.
List:

• Reading Odren's scroll brings 80k XP per person;
• Talking to Helmite Ghost outside brings 25k XP per person;
• Slaying Demogorgon brings 36k XP (+23k per Marilith);
• Reading Helm's scroll brings 80k XP per person;
• Forgiving Odren brings 10k per person.

Have I forgotten something/mistaken?
2° what the most profitable ending (XP wise) is?

• Reading Odren's scroll,
• sending Odren away and talking to the ghost,
• sealing the dungeon.

185k XP in total.
Is anybody smarter than me? Point out mistakes.

Well, there's two main ways to beat Watcher's Keep and it's either read Helm's scroll or defeat Demogorgon. If you read Odren's scroll, you'll get sealed in yes, but Demogorgan will open a portal so you can get out.

The better way to get experience is to beat Demogorgon (100,000), but the easier way is to just lock him in, well, the Improved Demogorgon anyway. (Read Helm's Scroll for 80,000 Exp. I think)

Hope this is what you were asking, and hope it helps.

Peace

Slaying Demogorgon immediately will get you 100 000 quest XP + somewhere around 10 000 quest XP when talking to the Helmites afterwards. Add a Balor or two and a few Mariliths and a Cambion and you're up 600-700 000 Total XP for a full party.

Close enough

[Vedran]

More or less.
I am too lazy to fight him anyway, I forgot about that 100k.
