What is the nastyest monster?

[Gilrad]

I remember when I was looking through the monster databases, I found a gazer-type enemy (cant remember the name), that was level 50!
Also, there was an enemy called Quetzacotl (sp?), a giant version of those flying serpents... It was around level 48.
From what I found, gazers and scorchers went to the highest levels.

Maby this Acension Peac is like the Wildeness on La Guardia that HAVE some UNIQUE monsters...(That i love to challange)and i shall not "rush" to complete the game innsted check out this place for more "Nasty monsters" because this is the ultimate place for the nastyest monsters in the game!! So it is inntresting se what Sir-Tec have done with there nastyes`t monsters, because they have done a great work with there monsters in Wizardy 7 so i dont think they have done a bader jobb here!!

I set up the chalange to "Expert" to se if this help to get some more nasty monster the worts monter i have seen yet is "Bitterwings level 28", Iferno level 34, Avalanche level 29, Furor level 23, Oak Guardian level 34.. i have yet to se monster level 40 or 50..

you need to get more experience. from playing in my game, they are level dependent. you are now lvl 23, but if you went up to lvl 30, you would then open up the ones that grow from level 25 to 45 or even 50!

In my experience rattkin breeders, Nessie and Djinns of the clouds were the nastiest. Al-Sedexus and my daughter [img]smile.gif[/img] Al-Sprocket were wimps. The battle at the rapax away entrance was tough, too. And among early monsters, remember the Kafkian Gregor roach, theat bug was tough...

I gotta tell you that the monsters that have most killed my various parties are bats. That is right, plain, ordinary bats. I am not talking about the high level bat vampires or other vicious bats, but the simple shrieker and twilight bats. This is not when I am a level 10 or above, but right at that level when you leave the Monastary and head for Arnika. I have been surpised by them many times and they always manage to suround me before I can get a good cone type spell to stop them. My low level characters tried to run for it a couple of times and found that they were surounded before they could move. My cone spells could only affect 2 or 3 at a time and I would get whomped, scared or otherwise incapacitated. Like intelligent monsters, they would go for my wimpy magic users in the middle, swinging right by the "tough" fighter types to keep me from blasting with an area affect spell.

As I grow in levels, these bats become a pain rather than a threat, but when I first leave the monastary or even when I go back for the wheel key, I have to go out of my way to make sure that there is a wall nearby. I know that they are following me, just waiting for me to cross the road so that they can surround me before I can get to the other side.

Death Lords are a pain, Don Barlone is a pain, Nessie a pain and even the rapax army on Ascension Peak was a pain. But I have died at the hands of bats more often than with any other monster.

In the demo, they replaced the Gregor from the monastery with a Swallower. I remember accidentally drawing it's attention from the hallwauy below the disc room (connected by the sharply sloping tunnel). My level 4 character didn't last two rounds against it. Fortunately, he was too large to fit through the doors on the upper level (an oversight they corrected with the gregor).

So far, I've been impressed with any creature that uses magic or distance attacks. They always make life more interesting.

I don't know about the baddest Mofo in the game BUT admantium unicorns REALLY got on my nerves. Always casting quicksand (I h8 that spell) Even with lvl 7 elemental shield & magic screen, if I went enough rounds with em they would end up insta-killing someone with that dam spell! I haven't had to many problems with bitterwings or scorchers...sometimes a high lvl sprite (Kragg sprites have over 300hp!!!) will cast an insta-kill spell and wax a party member.

My worst encounter with a single monster was on Ascension Peak. It was a Trydra (I think). It was a 3 headed snake that was just a nightmare. I shudder just remembering it. *shudder*

Hardest battle was the Sorceress Queen and her crew. I lost count of how many times I had to reload. I hate Death Lords with a passion.

So far in mt gigas, I have been meeting quite a lot of ensnaring spiders, not the toughest stuff in the game, but they sure can paralyze your whole group fast, and they love to come and chew you while everyone is down.
