Accept when i go to ulgoths beard and get first attacked by the cult i get dessimated. theres 2 mages,assassins, archers, guards... and thats before i even move!! with my 4 survivors i make it into the building and down stairs, my main char has really good wepeons and armour from D.T. When i first enter i know to kill the priest becouse Aec whatever can be reborn through them. I kill two and the Aec thing kills me and my group in about 20 seconds!!

Aec has a Death Gaze. Protection from Petrification or Potions of Mirror deflect this gaze. Take out the wiz-bitc* first.

Hints:

1. Send down a thief (do you have Imoen?) who has good backstabbing damage (esp. Sword of Backstabbing,) and do damage on the main priest. then send down your other guys.

2. I would resurrect the dead guys at the nearest temple, they willl help.

3. Give one character really good armor, rings, allthat, then cover him/her in protective spells. Have themm attack demon and draw him off, while the other guys kill the preists.

Good Luck!

What you need to do is make sure you're ready for the fight. Cast all of your enhancing spells on your party... chant, haste, etc... Also, if you can, send someone down the stairs invisible and send them out of sight of the priestess and try to take out the cultists without bringing her into view. Once Aec'Latec appears, keep in mind that summoned monsters are a man's best friend. Summon as many as you need to and if you get hit by the death gaze you should have either a few arrows of dispelling (yes use them on your own people) or a few dispel magics. I recommend the arrows because although they'll do damage they won't have any effect on the people around the target... so all of the spells working on them will remain...

Ha, cast command word die on Aec´Letec if he does fall asleep fire ball the crap out of his buddies cloud kill just go nuts. I knocked him out and killed him and for some reason he didn't recreate in anyone. I believe he is a demon so I wonder if protection from evil would work but I'm not sure.

Lol, I've just realized that in my three times through BG I/TotSC I've never returned to Ulgoth's after DT ! Always went straight back to BG to dispatch Sarevok. When I was in Ulgoth's I always groused and grumbled about that absolutely useless, completely empty temple building there. Well, I guess now I know what that is for ! Lol.

Btw, you guys and Silky-Paws make it sound as if that battle against the cult was much harder than the final battle against Sarevok !
