You need the Item Upgrade Mod, and then go and see Cromwell with:

• Daystar +2
• 4 Scrolls of Protection From Undead
• 2 Vials of Elven Holy Water
• 2 Star Sapphires
• 15,000 Gold

This makes for a truly powerful weapon indeed.....

the lightning bow will allso work against kangaxx, even if he has all spell protections active.
oh, and if you knock him from his place using the ring of the ram, then he goes down easy for some reason.

That's odd, because I have used Sunfire (level 5) effectively against most of the liches in the game. Perhaps it works because it's and area spell. I know I hit Kangaxx with it too, but I honestly can't say whether I used them all up against his original form or not.

I think part of the reason the Ring of Ram works so well is that it take a good chunk out of his hps. He doesn't have an insane amount--once you start hitting him, he doesn't tend to last very long.

minor add... The Short Bow of Gesen is it what you are revering to, and indeed the ring of ram will do a worthy amount of damage towards Kangaxxx...

Well, there is an easier way to smack Kangaxx.

Get a Protection from Magic Scroll and cast it on him. He can no longer cast spells, and, will go down quickly and quietly. This is probably the ultimate in Kangaxx cheese. Make sure you use the scroll while he still has a blue circle. Takes all of the bite out of the old bugger.

Hmmm. Protection from magic scrolls didn't work with my ranger. Maybe a bug

Spell Immunity can only protect the caster, and Korgan definitely cannot cast it. You must be referring to his Enrage ability. (Note: A Berserker's Rage will grant temporary immunity to Imprisonment, while a Barbarian's will not.)

Butterfingers, I may be wrong on this (as I've never used a Protection from Magic scroll), but it's been my understanding that to use a PfM scroll on Kangaxx's first form (his Lich form) is to waste it. True, he cannot cast any of his spells at you through the globe of Anti-Magic, but once you "kill" his Lich form, it is removed and replaced with the Demi-Lich form--which is *NOT* under a Protection from Magic spell, and thus can spit Imprisonments to his heart's content. To block the Imprisonments, you must use the Scroll on the Demi-Lich form.

I just wacked Kangaxx a few hours ago, myself. Rather easy, although we were in Chapter 6. My Spell Immunity front-liners were Melodia (Bard) with the Dragon's Breath, Jan with Cutthroat, and Nalia with Boneblade. Over in the corner were Anomen with the Sling of Everard, Minsc with the Gesen Bow, another Minsc (Vhailor's Helm) with another Gesen Bow, and Jaheira with the Cloak of the Stars. Who needs Protection scrolls or the MoD+2?

[ADD:] The Ring of the Ram is indeed very useful, but I ignored it for this fight, which was a good thing: I discovered a very handy tactic for the Ring against the Twisted Rune, which we took out directly after Kangaxx.
