Minsc's Berserk is not the same thing as a Berserker's Enrage ... I know for a fact that Enrage will protect you against imprisonment (just had Kangaxx cast it like 20 times at my berserker with no effect).

With the right use of your spells you can turn most situations into child's play.
I tend to like to fight Kangaxx around the time I get level 12 mages.

~

For Kangaxx I use two mages with the spells "Melf's Minute Meteors" and "Spell Immunity" memorised as much as possible. Once you've reduced Kangaxx to his Demi form knock him across the room with a "Ring of Ram" and cast "Spell Immunity: Abjuration", now cast "Melf's Minute Meteors" and any spells that improve THACO or rolls. Now you go across the room and start hitting Kangaxx with the Meteors until he dies. The trick to remember is to recast "Spell Immunity" every 2-3 times you've cast "Melf's Meteors"

This is a good trick to get the very powerful "Ring of Gaxx" early without the need for insanely powerful items and risky hide-behind-the-mage-hit-tactics.
For his Lich form counter with a higher level Summon Undead (Magic Skeletons - the ones with Two handed swords).

Using protection from magic and undead scrolls have similar effects. With Magic it makes you immune to his Imprisonment, while protection from undead apparently makes him ignore you completely while you tap dance on his forehead.


One thing of note is that if you're using summoned creatures immediately retreat them away so they don't get imprisoned, if they do they will permanantly count towards your summon limit. So if three "Invisible Stalkers" get imprisoned then you will only be able to summon two monsters until the others are freed, even if their spell duration should have run out.
Another note is to cast Pixie Dust on your party and stick them in a corner out of the way while Kangaxx is in Demi form, I can't remember if this actually helps because Kangaxx might have the ability to see invisible but it's piece of mind.

Guys, this thread is about certain quest items. If you want to discuss Kangaxx, feel free to start another thread--or just do a search on Kangaxx to read all the more than two dozen threads that have offered advice over the last 4+ years.

This is what I call an Irish Tread bump!

I am looking for the Versus Dragon Head Of Destruction

Location: Only place to find this idol is defeat the entire staff of the versus books strategy guide

Idol summons forth Craghackdor'izlsnizzt, the red dragon to end all red dragons. Not only can he jump through hoops, and waterski slalom, but his overwhelming "stink powers" shall end everyone and everything in his path.

Could this be a versus book hoax or joke or private pet or something
