    Well you need +4 bludgeoning weapons, or you can use the druid's star cudgel spell.

    I don't think the weapons have to be +4, just bludgeoning. I don't think I had any +4 weapons at that time...

    Yes, you have to use bludgeoning weapons as that is the oly damage he takes, use slings and bullets, maces, morningstars, and quarterstaves. Those all do bonus damage also so you get big hits. They are resistant to most magic damge to so dont waste spells.

    Bludgeon, no other way magical or physical either is worth considering. If you have some magic you'd better use it for protection, especially with crystal golem champions that are less vulnerable to bludgeon, have more HP and also wallop harder.

    There's a few enemies, like hook horrors, that you don't need all that high THAC0 for.

    But crystal golems, you do. Yeah, I'd say summon the highest blunt weapon you've got, and get to bashing.

    [​IMG] The Crystal Golems are sooo easy to kill... Your cleric should summon one or two Zombielords (lev. 3 spell). They have good immunity against blunt weapons and will kill the golems easily.

    If speaking about summoning, fire elementals tend to get rid of just about anything in a short time.

    [​IMG] Vrasallius- The Invisible Warrior in that area.

    He Carries a Fire Morning Star. He has a gold helmet, and a gold hammer. Kill him, loot the Morning star.

    That toy will kill a Crystal/Ice Golem in No time..

    Fire Bonus + Blunt Bonus = Dead Golem.

    Enjoy!

    Well, every AB point counts, so I prefer the morningstar + 2 I've also found somewhere there (IIRC). Maybe it's just my impression, but it seems to dispatch golems and spectres faster due to hitting more often.

    Kill the automaton with a name, get his morningstar and... Blast them into OBLIVION!!!

    Also, magical blunt weapons are not needed, you only need a blunt weapon to do damage...

    If all else fails, a trick that comes with a wizard, or a sorcerer..

    Melf's Minute Meteor Swarm.

    Blunt Damage + Fire Damage... Works fairly well..

    Anyway I made it with hammer... Thanks anyway for the helping... But I have another problem. I am in the temple of Auril. And I have cleansed almost all rooms and even killed the three priestess - forgot their name... I am in front of a door - with a shadow trap - and I can't make it... Nickademus doesn't know how to dissolve it, neither do I... Help me please...

    Where is the Nathaniel equipment...

    Align the mirrors properly so that a bolt will shoot into the room where to door is. Then go use the lightning bolt machine.

    Try using bludgeoning weapons and powerful summoned creatures all at once and even in HoF they go down in no time. :mad:

    There is another closed room in the second level... I tried everything - even speaking to the picture in the first level - but still nothing. What is the reciept for that task? There were too rooms that I couldn't open but with talking to them - "Auril, nobody shall stand in your way!" or something... I made it. But in this time I can't... What's the receipt?

    Perhaps you should be more clear about which room it is, and also start a new thread since this has nothing to do with Crystal Golems.
