I came across an extremely cheap way to kill him and get the ring. However, you don't get the experience. I didn't wind up saving, it was just too cheesy.

1. Set 6-10 Traps where he will appear before you summon him (Use the Gethras house to rest and return to set traps if you only have one thief)

2. Leave the rest of your party right near the steps upstairs

3. Summon him with a thief with good pickpocket skills(I used Jan)

4. (This part's kind of tricky). Immediately after giving him the golden pieces, pause the game.Unpause, then pause (repeatedly and quickly) until you can pickpocket him with the thief skill button (This has to be before he starts talking again). Your thief will now have the ring.

5. Immediately after getting the ring, run to the steps (use haste before if you want) Take your entire party upstairs. Wait for at least a minute (real time, if you don't he'll still be alive) When you go back down, he will have died. The demi lich never appears, unless he goes somewhere else I'm not aware of.

Like i said it's real cheap.

Don't worry about summoned critters. When the spell wears off they get unsummoned. Besides, they're only computer sprites, not real creatures. As for tactics, my favourite was my sorceror:

Haste
Spell Shield (Abjuration school)
Tenser's Transformation
Staff/Magi (or Black Blade of Disaster if you can cast it)

Kick his ass!

argh.. just cast Spell Imunity - Abjuration and approach your mage to the demi-lich and use warriors to whack him with +4 +5 weapons (from behind the mage, I sugest 2-handed swords and other long-distance weap)

I used the wond of wonders. I had my main character create a simulacrum of herself with a scroll while holding the wand of wonders. Then both of me used the wand at Kangaxx after he became the demi-lich. Result-Petrified demi-lich which shattered when my summoned creatures(who were there to take the imprisonment spells) bit him. Then I sold off the wand, to unpredictible for everyday use.

I used that wand of Wonder on a Githianki who wanted his sword blade back.

Don't have any idea what happened to him but he got hit by the wand, and dissipeared. We never saw him agian.

I beat him by casting Spell immunity to Abjeration on my fighter/mage, and charged him first. I had Minsc wack him with the Ring O da Ram and sent in Keldorn in with his Holey Avenger. backed up by Jahedra shooting stones from the Sling of Evard. The Demi-lich locked on to my fighter/mage and tried to Imprision him. I guess he was not a very smart mage in life, cause he never tried a breach spell to bring down my spell defences. It didn't take too long for Keldorn to smack the remaining un-life out of him.

Took me a few tries to finally work this one out though.

alexwc4 petrifiying things almost always means they don't drop stuff and I am not killing Kangaxx for the EXP (although it is a nice bonous) I am killing him for the "Ring of Gaxx" cos it offers a load of resistances and regenerates HP.

Also thankyou everyone for posting help, I don't think I need anymore. I got my team to higher level. I am just a little off getting my Sorcerer up to Lvl 14 and Aeire now know false dawn. The only problem with laying traps is that my thief is Yoshimo and he sucks at setting up traps. I will try taking him on in a couple of days.

alexwc4 · 03-28-2001, 10:47 AM

I got the ring too. I would not have mentioned the Wonder Method if it did not give me the ring. BTW, my main Character is a Jester,great for lore and Pickpocket(if not much else) and she pickpocketed the Demi-Lich while he was still cyan-ringed. So actually I have TWO Gaxx rings, with what only the most lawful could consider cheating.

I have another problem...I can't find Kangaxx' torso. Any help??

Melusine · 03-28-2001, 12:03 PM

Lilandra, welcome!

I'm not sure about this, but I think the Torso is in the cellar of the house in the Bridge district, somewhere at the bottom of the district map. I might be mistaking it with the Arms&Legs, if so: the other location for Kangaxx's bodyparts is in the Temple District Sewers. (You need the Unseeing Eye quest to get there). Good luck!
