    So, how do you kill the golems when there's no second character to throw those stones down the wall (conjuring distractors excepted)? Are they hurt by some huge enchanted bonus or something?

    You must use piercing weapons if i remember correctly. I don't think you need greatly enchanted weapons - maybe +1 will suffice.

    Any char with a bow and some Impact arrows (found in the Aurilite village and Ice Temple itself). They hurt the golems a lot.

    Haft over Hand works well too.

    Thanks, guys. It was bludgeon - just like any normal golem... I didn't actually suppose that would work until you told me about impact arrows. I just took that morningstar +2 with my usual evening gown of stoneskin, shield, mirror image and haste (paladin/wizard) and went say hello to that gentleman. Goodness gracious, 700 XP for the kill! Like some week game time.

    Haft over hands? :confused:

    I believe he means Haft Over Head. It's a throwing axe that's set up to strike with its haft instead of its head, so it does crushing instead of slashing damage.

    You're supposed to chuck ice to crush them? If only I knew that...

    Def an expression.. A good one though.. :)

    Haft over Head works well.. (Never thought of the deformed lil axe before.. i always sold it Asap)

    Throwing hammer? From the Aurilites nearby?

    I still vote for the morningstar of flame +1.. *shrugs* It works well, is handy, and is easy to find..
