is there anyway you can defeat the iron golems in the black raven tomb?

Make sure you have +3 weapons or better for starters, preferably weapons that do bludgeoning damage. Prebuff your party with spells like stoneskin, haste, improved invisibility, protection from evil 10" radius, bless, prayer, etc.

Use SUMMONED monsters to act as a shield for the party while your tanks concentrate on one golem at a time. Use the highest level summoned monsters you can at first: the low level ones die WAY too quick. Have your cleric standing by with Heal spells, or mass heal. Make sure that you cleric has a couple of sanctuary spells so he can duck if the golems start after him. Ditto for your mage with invisibility.

If you STILL can't kill the golems after repeated efforts, use the cheat codes and create the HoF version of the Kegsplitter axe. It kills golems with one hit. [img]smile.gif[/img] (Only the HoF version will do that).

Another methods is to cast outiluke's resileient sphere on two of the monsters and have them stand in the doorway to prevent golems from passing and then hit the golems and run

druids do well here since they are immune to poison..

btw, you might want to leave this fight for later when your party is stronger... the treasure iirc is not too good

ZFR is right, the treasure ISN'T all that great but the xp isn't bad.

Mordenkainen's Sword is a great mage spell to use for this battle.
