Thanks... I just read all the spell descriptions and apply them accordingly.. It's not toughy.. Check out your manual that you got w/ the game... There are many strategies I can post here if you'd like.. some cheap, some not-so cheap.
For instance.. Beholders and Gauths will hardly use any death rays or flesh to stone on summoned or gated creatures... I was over zealeous in my first encounter with a beholder and two gauths and cast two Monster Summonings II one Monster Summoning I, A summon lesser Air Elemental, A summon Lesser Fire Elemental and an Effreti.. (first encounter mind you, i was scared After about the second monster summoning the beholders and gauths stopped (!) using rays and spells and melee attacked! I had no idea I was about to kick there butt so i summoned more.. In the end i had The two elementals left, the effreeti and a held invisible stalker... This proves that summoned monsters get only a TINY percentage of an enemies spells, thus making summoned or gated creatures extremely usefull ------------------ *Slash*Slash* Demi-Licheath Synthos, looks at Carsomyr +5...: Man I love this sword! |

Ur pretty smart. Good thinkin, i'd never do that. By the way, the HP trick is now available on the BGI forum, so feel free to look at it. Yeah, i also have cheap tricks and stuff, but i don't feel like writing a lot. And i won't be around during week days cuz i am at school and that suks. So the afternoons are my only time on, but my dad and siblings want to go on, so i don't have chances to talk a lot, thats why i have made like 49 things.

BTW, If any visible characters walked into sight of the gauths or beholders, they immediatly under went a barrage of rays, some died or were turned to stone.. I watch a ways back with a farsight spell. Keep your characters back from the fight or suffer

(Slight Spoiler)
In Firkaag's dungeon where all the Orc Archers are shooting at you, just pop on the reflection shield and leave your person there.. they'll either kill themselves or use up all their arrows ------------------ *Slash*Slash* Demi-Licheath Synthos, looks at Carsomyr +5...: Man I love this sword! |

An add-on to wut he said. If u have no farsight, stealth works perfectly. Use ur thief to scout beholder areas. This is a fun trick to do, if u want it. Scout ur thief, if u meet up with gauths or any monster, stay there, summon monsters by it, but make sure ur summoner dosen't get caught. Watch em attack the monsters while u move in for the kill. This works well with wasting the enemy mage spells.
