    Minsc + WarBlade (Two handed Sword +4, you can get it with Ribald) + Protection of Magic = DemiLich a la Rashemen

    Melf's Minute Meteors hit as +5 and it works to kill Kangaxx , you only need 4-5 Melf's Minute Meteors spells and 3 or 4 Spell Immunity and if you want 1 or two Improved Haste spells ,1 extra mage is not really necessary but it speeds the process

    @Silverstar - its the only ranged weapon that a mage can use to hit Kangax. Its better to have them do something when not casting breach - even if it only hits once, that is one less hit that your fighters need to do and one less spell that kangaxx will be able to unleash. Every bit helps.

    Well I agree that MMMs are only-way a mageling can do something useful against Kangaxx, (shame for sorcerers who do not have it, hope they have spare scrolls around) but I still do not believe that it will be enough alone to kill him. Distraction is useful though. A mage can make himself immune to Kangaxx via Spell Immunity:Abjuration and Deathward (courtesy of a priest, will SI:Necromancy work against the howl?) but will have troubles to kill him actually.

    I killed Kangaxx with MMMs at least 15 times and is the second best way I know to kill him after using the Staff of Power to stun him non stop.

    Can Staff of Power stun him? Then..then it is a pretty fearsome weapon for the most evil magi! :(

    I just killed him using edwin with staff of the magi and protection from magic scroll and my main fighter/theif with the +5 sling (that doesn't need bullets) that you get from one of the added merchants (both hasted of course) ohh and a ring of the ram to blast him into a few traps i laid, I was quite proud of my resourcefulness :)

    If you have a mind control circlet, you can charm him and then make him imprison himself. I think I recall one time imprisoning him in this fashion and collecting experience, setting some traps, casting freedom, and collecting experience again when the traps killed him. But that was some time ago, so my memory might be faulty.

    Also, protection from undead works just as well as protection from magic. You might also consider a simple spell immunity: abjuration.

    Slight Spoilers!

    Take the real illithium you get from Neb the child killer (during the Sir Sarles quest) and the Mace of Disruption to Cromwell in the Docks. Talk to him and he'll mention something about using the metal.

    If you take the MoD+1 to Cromwell, he tells you he can upgrade it with Illethium.
    And there is a cheese to get the illethium from Sir Sarles. Search the Boards for it, I won't spoil without being asked :p

    You need
    • A casting of Protection from Evil 10'.
    • Scroll of Summon Dijinni/ Efreeti or Gate (since you would generally be too low level to cast the spell from memory).
    And you get the satisfaction of killing one of the more irritating charecters in the game without loss of Rep along with XP for killing the uncontrollable Demon. :evil:

    You could try pickpocketing him but thats just too boring.

    P.S. Another person where I use that on: Nalia's Aunt. :flaming: Die bitch! Die! :grr:

    EDIT: Stupid me forgetting that Hakeashar were no more than souped up Nishruu that couldn't kill a thing :bang:

    *goes to Nalia's house, summons an upgraded pit fiend, runs, closes the door* :shake:

    Shrikant, thank you, now there's truly nothing left with fighter stronghold.

    I generally just turn into the slayer. He's dead (well deader) in less than a minute. Can easily live with the reputation loss as I just go back up a few good deeds later.
