If you have ToB, there is a Katana called Hindo's Doom, which has an enchantment higher then the CF. If you do not have ToB, then the Malakar would be your best choice.

Don't know where this is found, or how you can get it, but it is better than Dak'kon's Zerth Blade +2 by +1 THAC0!! Huge difference there, but it is the second best katana that is in SoA.

And where do I find Hindos doom?

If my memory serves me well, look for it in the Watchers Keep, level one. I think one of the statues have it.

1) Hindo's Doom +3: Watcher's Keep Level 5. You have to fight a motley crew to get it.
2) Hindo's Hand: Abazigal's Lair

Hmmmm...Dundee any suggestions for a solo thief on that battleground?

I´d really like that weapon but my thief isn´t that good in battle...I mean he´s okay but his AC is bad at -3 and he keeps on getting hit since I tend to attract a large number of enemies at once...gotta be the pic, he actually looks bad

Dundee Slaytern · 09-22-2002, 10:16 PM

Traps, Reflection Shield, Cloak of Mirroring and more Traps, if you are referring to the battle for HD.

Potions, potions, potions, if you are referring to the Planar Prison.

YESSIR...I understand completely...what is the easiest one...cause I´d like the boots of speed

The following is adapted from how my Assassin did it at level 12 on Insane Difficulty,
~

Spoiler

Before the fight, drink beneficial potions that will last for a long time( 5-10 turns). One particular potion is the Potion of Defence which will set your BASE AC to 0. Extremely potent. I have forgotten whether dualclassed Fighter->Something can drink Warrior-specific potions but if you can, drink all the following as well( including other potions that Thieves can drink as well), Potion of Heroism, Potion of Invulnerability, Potion of Power, 2 Potions of Fire Resistance( due to their Flame Strikes), Potion of Clarity and Oil of Speed Potion.

Once you ingested all these potions, we move on the Bhaalspawn powers and equipment spells. If you do not have the Ilbratha +1, go get it now from Umar Hills( do the Mimic Blood quest). Cast either Draw Upon Holy Might and/or Vampiric Touch on yourself. Cast Mirror Image from Ilbratha +1( you only need to equip it, you do not need to use it actively). I hope you have the Boots of Avoidance( do the Buried Man quest), as they grant you a 10 AC bonus to missile weapons.

Boosted beyond reason, Quicksave and enter the portal.

The very moment you see the location, PAUSE the game and instruct your F->T to set a trap at your location. You have to be quick, or you will enter dialogue mode and lose the window of opportunity. My weapon of choice for this battle is the Tuigan Bow and Acid Arrows.

Run around in circles and aim the fighter first. Once he falls, summon something, anything to distract the mages while you concentrate on the thief( that should appear by now, and hopefully strike one of your images or miss with his backstab).

Once the thief is dealt with, go for the archers, and once they fall, the mages' spell protections should have been minimised. The acid from your Acid Arrows will bypass their Stoneskins.

Good luck, and have fun.

PS: This fight is the least of your worries in the Planar Prison. Bring along plenty of potions and summoning items.
