As some of you might know, now I'm currently playing a solo sorcerer. I'm planning of beating shangalar before going to the spell hold. Right now, my sorcerer is level 15. Maybe some of you has some tip/s of how to beat shangalar single handed with a sorcerer. Would you mind sharing it to me? Thank you.

If you already have the Boots of Speed there is a pretty easy tactic I used at level 11 to get the staff.
Use a Scrol of Protection from Magic after you are in the room. Then, use a Cloudkill wand to put out some clouds (You can use these even with the pro-magic scroll). Run around in a few circles, staying away from the melee types in the bunch. Once the mage dies (doesn't take very long) loot the staff and go invisible. If you have the Cloak of Non-Detection, the liches true sight won't be able to reveal you, and nothing in the room will see you through your invis. Finish up by taking your time meleeing what is left, using the staff to re-invis yourself, until everything is dead. One note is I didn't bother to kill the vamp down there. He regened way too fast for me to kill him. |

However you can still see where the mage is, because she generally puts up some kind of visible spell protection. Then you use the Irenicus's dungeon wand of cloudkill (sold and bought to be recharged for 50 hits) to practice a form of saturation bombing on the area. I even managed to kill the vampire, by lining him up in a corner of the room, and letting rip with the wand of lightning.

1) Wait until you're really high-level and actually deserve an artifact like the Staff of the Magi.
2) Turn Undead. 3) Spray a few Dragon's Breaths around. 4) Finish killing that annoyingly resilient Revanek (provided this is the Improved gang, here.) 5) Collect loot.
