OK I got in the twisted rune and I killed the hole lot,and it was so easy so I don't know if that's it or am I missing something??I put the eye of the beholder
in the pot and left so should I go back and if I did miss something what did I miss???
Thank you much.

That's all there is too it. It was origanlly supposed to be connected with the slavers quest, but that didnt happen due to time constraints. Check your loot though, the Staff of the Magi is considered to be one of the better items in the game, especially if you are a solo mage.

Wow so you danced thru it on the first go? I'm curious as to how you did it, I might try it your way then [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] (i can always use some ideas)

Your first go and you managed to defeat the twisted rune enemies... well I have to say, CONGRADULATIONS... That fight took me about 10 re-loads... you must be very good... what difficulty is the game on???

Very good, or... cheating too much... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

He doesn't have the Improved mod, he drank a potion of invisibility, hid in the far left room were you entered and gniffled while the Pitfiend killed the Twisted Rune. Then only the fighter remained and since he is but-naked he falls pretty fast

Even with the improved mod, the Twisted Rune falls pretty quickly to the right combination of spells. My necromancer almost took them down on his first try - ran into his own skull trap - but they went down on try number two.

The keys are mordekainen's swords, time stop, repeated dragon's breaths, prismatic spray, spell trigger filled with skull traps and a fallen planar to clean up the mess.

Spellstrike and spell trap are also musts.

Didn't even need the cloak of cheese, just let my Mordekainen's swords clog up the opening to the entryway and hid around corner so Beholder couldn't zap me.

The Beholder did snuff out a number of Mordies swords, but my necro can summon like 9 of them, so they kept coming.

A side note: while it is not necessarily an economic use of the spell, the visual and audio effect of improved alacrity and mordekainen's swords in a quick slot is pretty cool, a wall of swords rises around your mage.

I must confess, I am only playing on hard though - this is my first time soloing. Am considering sliding the bar up to insane though, since only two battles have been very challenging -i.e. lots of reloads - Bodhi and the Mind Flayers lair in the underdark.

Well I was very high level and I just sent my assassin in and backstabed all that I could, and my kensei had a easy time with the beholder and the mage I did spellstrike on and that was it.

P.S Without a high level assassin it would have been so hard!
