KANGAXX !!!

[WitchTooth]

Four Words:Black Blade of Disaster!
All you need is a fairly high level mage or a fighter/mage that can cast at least 5th level spells. For the mage, the Spell Trap option provided by the Staff of the Magi is extremely helpful and for the fighter/mage the Soul Reaver (I believe you need at least a +4 weapon or better to hit the dastardly lich!) in combination with Spell Immunity: Abjuration a couple of times.

A Time Stop spell can come in handy twice in this battle; once when Kangaxx is in his undead form to dispel his many protective spells (Khelben's Warding Whip and Breach are very handy--if one has more than one ninth level spell, Spellstrike will do the trick)and then once ol' Kangie is in his floating form, cast Time Stop, Black Blade of Disaster and Spell Immunity: Abjuration and use the last round or so to beat him down with the Black Blade. Extra Time Stops are provided by your Spell Trap absorbing his Imprisonments and transfering them a ninth level spell back into your arsenal. He will eventually fall, leaving you grinning with 55,000 EXP and a brand new ring of evilness!

Using a fighter/mage is fairly straight forward using Spell Immunity and a powerful weapon, although you might need some backup when he's in his undead form. Backup should include a)a Priest that can cast Sunray or Bolt of Glory once or twice each and b) another wizard powerful and wily enough to break down his magical defences.

The fifth level priest spell Magic Resistance is very helpful as well as Death Ward, but if you follow my aforementioned advice, you won't need any extra protection (a Protection from Fire spell, scroll or potion couldn't hurt, as he casts a Sunfire when he dies the first time).

Toodles, and happy hunting...

Adding to the upteen posts on how to defeat Knagaxx...

Good stratagies, and welcome to gamebanshee.

Witchtooth,

Nice strategy =). If you'd like to see this posted in our Baldur's Gate II site, feel free to email it to webmasters@gamebanshee.com and we'll post it up.

If you want a *smart* Kangaxx (that reacts to your protections and party, go here : http://www.in.on.ca/~cmohan/redwall/bg/bg2_scripts.html and down load my script for him. Place it in your override and its a tougher fight. For power gamers that think he is too easy.(note he does not stand there casting Imprison all day if you are immune).

1. The Spell Trap cannot save you. It absorbs 30 spell levels and Imprisonment is level 9 spell. Therefore, Spell Trap absorbs 4 Imprisonments, is it enough?
2. Time Stop, Soul Reaver, Black Blade of Disaster... No offense, WitchTooth, but we want the Ring of Gaxx as soon as possible, i.e., before leaving for Asylum. With level 9 spells and powerful weapons, Kangaxx can be done in many ways. The challenge with Kangaxx is: Kill Kangaxx in chapter 2 or 3.

And so here speaks (I simply must speak) the Chapter 2 slayer of all irritating monsters (I like them all dead by the time I come back---no unfinished business):

All you REALLY need to kill the Demi-Lich is one person (best your PC) who is protected from magic and the wand of wonder (which you can get from the Temple Sewers).

Have this person simply walk up to the Demi-Lich while the critter repeatedly hurls Imprisonment at him/her. Then have the person use the wand of wonder at the aforementioned critter until the spell "Petrification" comes up.

Voila. The Lich is dead, and you have the ring, and 55000 experience to share. I was barely level 9.

Post that up if you deem my two cents worthy, Mr. Satan

[Disco Stew]

Wand of wonder eh?...Where EXACTLY in the sewers did you find this.

P.S. Whataya mean by protection from magic? There are lots of ways to do that.(scrolls, equipment, spells,potions...)

[Fatale]

Protection from Magic scroll. 'Tis the only thing I found that works for a non-berserker PC against Kangaxx (besides the Protection from Undead scroll).

You can find the wand of wonder in the Mind Flayer area in the sewers. If you have Edwin or any other mage in your party, just refer to my strategy for Mind Flayers slaying (just two mages can do the job).

Note: my memory fails me sometimes (hey, killing so many monsters in one chapter can kind of screw you up there), but I'm pretty sure it was at the Mind Flayer area.

Enjoy the Ring of Gaxx!

[KensaiRyu]

He means the scrolls of magic prot found in the adventurers mart and if you really want to knitpick you dont even need the Wwonder just a staff of rhynn and the scroll, thats why I *fixed* the AI with my script. Because it was way too easy once you knew how to beat him.

I thought it was cool at first when I was just out of Irenicus dungeon and had his ring , but later I thought u know thats really dumb, a demi lich that does not even respond to you, just keeps casting imprison over and over again.
So I fixed it.

[Fatale]

*ahem*

Fatale is a "she"

Does anyone know how to make your own NPCs? (okay, this is WAY out of topic, but I'm too lazy to start another one)

ALL HAIL THE GOD OF LAZINESS!!

[KensaiRyu]

Both me and Manveru can make NPC's or do anything with the infinity engine (within the engines limits of course).

I would be happy to send you a tutorial of how to and info to get u started if u want. And sorry about the *he* thing. I just assumed most posters here...

[Fatale]

Hey KensaiRyu, it's no biggie about the gender I just like setting things straight, since you can't tell anyone's gender for sure around here. (BTW, are you a 'he'?)

And yeah, I'll really start showering you with kisses if you give me an infinity engine tutorial. I do C++ and Java, so I hope I catch on quick. Just email me at blasphe@yahoo.com or at my address in my profile.

*kisses in advance*

I sent you a couple more tutorials, one is on NPC's one is a kit maker and one is an introduction to Infinty Engine Editing (if I rember right). Also I can never have too many kisses.

And yes I am a he.

If you have any questions just post.

[Drakron Du´Dark]

Stop that!!!
There are children reading this....

Best way to kill him is by "protection from magic" and +4 weapons.
Also note that the melf´s minute meteors does damage to him.
Remenber that you will deal 1 or 2 damage to the demilich and Spell Immunity have the bad habbit of running out at the worst time...

[Fatale]

Kensai: Got two of 'em so far ... but my connection's slow. Thanks so much! ^*^

Drakron: Kids? Hmm .. here, kiddie-kiddie ... here sweetie pies ... come out now, no need to lurk ... after all, nobody's quite sane here ...
