HoF - impossible?

[sgnewguy]

I did it. I'm in the level 4 of dragons eye. Lots of advise here helps. The trick to start with 1 cleric at the start of the game works. Thanks.

Currently my party is
1. paladin
2. fighter
3. cleric/ranger
4. fighter/thief
5. fighter 3 dual to druid
6. cleric9 dual to mage

But i got a problem now. How do i past all the priest? They are forever summoning lizard man and trolls.

Only the high summoner in the east summons, once he's dead there won't be new monsters appearing.
You can use invisibility, run to and kill him early in the battle, but with good summons and buffs brute force should work too, especially if you get help from the adventurer party monsters will die much faster than they're resummoned.

Just staying at the entrance and killing enemies until you're such high level that it's no problem any more is also an option, starting HoW is another.

I like to hole up in the library first to expose and kill Albion and the librarian, then the first horde of monsters. Then I take the right-hand passage (carefully!) and go and get the summoner. After you've got the summoner, you can return to lvl 3 to rest if need be, before taking out the remainder of the level.

I don't use the adventurers, because a) they turn hostile if you hit them with area-effect spells or spells of extended duration (like Spike Growth) and b) because they are the opposite direction from the summoner.

Entangle + webs + spike should get rid of the wave after albion.

Then head for the summoner on the right. Your druid should be able to stock up lots of summon spells by now. Summons backed by arrows can easily clear the way. You'll need many dispel magic for your arrows to work.
