Be afraid, be VERY AFRAID. I tried multiple times to get past the last set of guardians, gave up and went to Abzigal's place. The Lich group was easy but the last group with a hive mother and a multiarmed walking food processor was just too much. Even with two blades that are Vorpel.

Now of course I am stuck in Abzigals lair trying to best him. Got by his son but this guy is too much. The best weapon I seem to have is magic sword. Other than that its stay clear try to stay out from under his wings.

Abazigal suffers from the same ol' dragon tactics as all other dragons do, Mirror Image. Lower Magic Resistance, etcetera etcetera

LOL

I nearly soiled my pants with fear when I charged Korgan with the all mighty axe of unwielding +5, loaded to the teeth with steroidal Hormonal Level(A)Implants, only to have him come back to me as a hacked up ke-bab. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
Very tough fight that.
I kept most weaker party members to the extreme right and used many defense oriented spells before rushing in to turn the last key.
Rotate your tanks as often as needed and engage in a remorseless pummeling of those closest to your party. Energy blades and powerful summonings (Deva's, Elementals) worked really well for me to keep them at bay too. You may need a well timed Pierce Magic or something similar to remove some spell protections from that evil Sword wielding Sheeva abomination you mentioned.

That fight in Watcher's Keep was a really hard one. What eventually worked for me was summoning as much as I could ahead of time (a Planetar, an elemental, whatever else I could summon), and then having my party run away as soon as I got the fight to start. This causes some of the monsters to pursue your party, while some of them will be temporarily distracted by your summons. So then you can pick them off more gradually, and it's a more manageable fight.

I also was able to Pocket Plane away in the middle of the fight using this tactic, because one of the creatures never figured out where I'd gone. So I was able to go, rest up, and come back and kick its ass.

I still can't get past Draconis. Of course, it's been nearly a month since I've tried, I was so disheartened. Maybe I'll try that again soon.
