    [​IMG] Any tips on killing these things? I've tried several times and I'm going back at it now, but man is it impossible. I checked the walkthrough thinking there was something special, but no, just bash 'em I guess. Anything in particular work?

    According to the Monster Manual, Will-O'-Wisps have a fairly high AC of 29, and immunity to most spells, but that's about it. No Damage Reduction vs. certain weapons or anything.

    The norm I guess. Haste and lay waste. ;)

    Concentrate all your firepower on one even if it runs off on you. And use potions.

    That's what I did. Actually I leveled up right before that and got my bard to learn the War Chant of the Sith :evil: . I used that as well. Man I love that bard song.

    What I did was buy all the protection from electricity and lightning spells I could, and cast them on all my characters on the screen before. Then I went at the will 'o wisps and their attacks were pretty harmless. I was still pretty hurt after the battle, but I was ablr to complete it.

    Well, right after I posted I dusted them off. Seems like a little break usually lets you get back in and TCB. Thanks anyway. Now on to the hooked horrors...

    Yes, it's possible to level a sorcerer high enough to it in at this point in the game, but it requires using mules and squatting and starting with one character. Which I did, just to see what would become of it

    No buffs needed, just be ready to pause often. Equip everyone with a ranged weapon.
    When one appears to attack, pause. its target should run while the others pelt it wit arrows. It's quite simple this way.
