I tried it... nothing happened. Then all my guys died. Maybe there was a casting failure or something, i'll have to try it again. Wish me luck.

I DID IT! I DID IT! I used an ultra cheesy method too!
First I tanked all my guys up with the usual pre-combat spells, then i summoned in two greater drowned deads, a shadowed cyclops, and two earth elementals. Then I flipped the switch and ran for it while the summonings kept the dragon busy. Then i cast Otiluke's Resilient Sphere on one of my characters and positioned them at the base of the stairs. The dragon couldnt get through so I lowered his resistance, emptied my spell book on him and then hit him with about 20 or so necklace of missiles. IT WORKED! Kinda feel let down though... No Carsomyr treasure on the dragon

...Though you'd have to be very lucky to pull it off that way. My sorcerer was able to cast 7 disintegrates, and none of them killed the Guardian Dragon instantly, only did some damage to him.

I've tested why so many people have trouble with disintegrate, looks like the success of the spell works is really really small. you have to be really lucky for it to kill that dragon outright.

though, just save before using it and reload if it doesn't works.

The best way to improve the chance of Disintegrate succeeding would seem to be casting some of the savings throw lowering spells first, such as Greater Mailison, Doom, Prayer, or Chant.

Casting successive "Lower spell resistance" can also be effective. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ah, but I'm not interested in cheesing my way through a dragon by constantly reloading the game every time a spell doesn't work.
And Magnus, thanks for the tips, but I'd used those as well. It's still mostly a luck-thing to kill a dragon with a simple disintegrate. And if it doesn't work that way, there's always other tactics to explore in order to defeat him. It's not that you just *have* to kill him in one blow...
