The true name is the esay way and well allow you to complete the game. I do recommend beating him by fighting him as well. It is hard but there is a greater sense of satisfaction than just using his true name. For fighting him you are going to need to have your main melee weapon do acid damage. I think my ranger dual weilded scimitars, and the main one had the acid damage upgrade and was fully upgraded. I am not even sure it is possible to defeat him without an acid melee weapon.

Undoubtly it is more satisfying to beat him in combat but, as have been mentioned, you need acid damaging weapons. If you play a character whose damage output is somewhat mediocre your're f****d if you don't have anything that do acid damage at that point.

What would really suck is if you didn't have a character that could beat him physically (complete with acid weapon) and did not have his true name.

Yeah, that would be bad.

Edit: And it isn't that intuitive that he should be vurnerable to acid.

well, when i met the knower of names i was greedy and kept my money, and sold all my stuff in cania and had almost 2million gold coins.
i was also not able to persuade aribeth to side with me against the big M.
so that was extreamly diffecult.

so i loaded the game back to where i met the knower of names and bought my way to know aribeths true name!

then i used her name to make her side with me and used her and my shield golem to distract M. and cast and shot every acid thing i got on him and engaged with melee and finally KILLED HIM!!!

thanks for helping me out=)!

now im going to try a wierd mod i created to gain some exp for my LVL 34 character or play oblivion unthil NWN2 get released=)..

Cheers=)

Just out of curiosity; if the Sleeping Man's true love turns out to be Aribeth, does he come to you aid during the battle with Mephy? Assuming you have Aribeth in your party at that point that is.

I've heard somewhere that that happens.
