Cloud Kill, Death Spell, Death Fog, meaner summons, meaner tanks.

Confusion Prevention: Chaotic Commands, Potions of Clarity.

LOL, Dundee, the few-worded man strikes again...

:p

Anyway, as Dundee has come with good 'tactics', all I can say is:

all you need to do is have a cleric or druid cast hold person or monster on it (i forgot which works, i think its person) then just beat the crap out of them! i did nothing special and thats how i beat them. Just summon a wood nymph and she should hold then on her own [img]smile.gif[/img] or if your low on fighter hold then gasses with good ole' couldkill

How about... Hit them with that big point stick. Honistly! Umber Hulks, they SUCK. I had alot more trouble then most with the game. But Umberhulks?

one of the first things you should do kim as soon as you get into chap 2, go and fight your way in the slave sewers. It is a bit of a tough fight, depending on your level of course. but once you get pass the kobolds, you will find that there are four pipes. there are various items in the sewers that you need to find and then place in the pipes. Check a walkthrough for items and order, if you need to [img]smile.gif[/img]
anyway as a result of all of this wonderful labor your doing, you get Lilacor, the +2 talking sword that protects against illithid and umberhulk. combined with the suggestions that other people have made the weilder should be fairly well protected. Enjoy!

Lilarcor is +3 enchanted.

"Murder, Death, Kill. Murder, Death, Kill. MuWahHAHAHAHA!"

Man, that sword cracks me up.

Are you talking about the one in Nalia's little castle? If so read the spolier

Spolier

in the courtyard are 4 dogs kill them and loot the peices of meat rom them. Then go to the kitchen and put them in the oven one at a time when the oven is full click on it again and you get doggy stew. Take this nice stew and give it to a thief who is hasten. then go back down to the basement to the room with the trolls in it now before you opne th edoor with the hummber hlks turn off AI and back you characters up away from the door. then have your thief go to stealthmode opne the door and run to the first door to the right he opens that door and leaves it opne and runs donw to the last door on his right at the end of the hallway just befor ethe left turn. he goes inside and put the doggy stew into the pile of bones then quickly go stealth again and hed out takign that left turn and following that halway to the door at the end o fit he opens and the shuts that door runs to the first door he ran to ( now on his left and shuts that. You cna then bring your party into that big room.. The umber hulks woudl ahve gone to go eat the stew and are now stuck behind those doors You get 17500Xp for doing this if i remember correctly.. This is what that retainer talked about that you met ealier about how he made the dog stew to feed them and all.

death spell is most effective cause it kills them all immediately and doesnt have the area affect on your partymembers like deathfog

Not sure if anyone has said it yet... but Chaotic Commands does a good job at stoping their confusion attacks [img]smile.gif[/img]
