Slaying some of the invulnerable ones

I came by this old thread BioWare Forums: Destroying Shandolar, Candlekeep guard, or Duke Eltan? and was immediately intrigued by the method that describes how to kill supposedly invincible critters.
After my party knocked individuals like Duke Eltan unconscious the tricky part began though. I later discovered that attacking the aforementioned with a weapon that poisons him (e.g. Dagger of Venom), put his lights out for good. So it did against others like Ulcaster, the Candlekeep guard, Koveras (hard because of his good saving throws), Scar but seemingly not against the ghost knights. Some of those knights carry some nice goodies, so a shame really. Their saving throws are all down at 1 (death being the crucial one). I haven’t succeeded so far, but might there still be a slight chance for them to fail the save, thus becoming poisoned?
Also, does anyone know if it’s possible to turn Duke Eltan and/or Koveras hostile? Else it would mean that when they’re killed, you’ll loose an immense amount of experience as well.
Finally, this method doesn’t apply to Elminster. I doubt it but is there any way to defeat him too?

I've killed Shandolar before, but its really no trick as much as its just outlasting his spell protections long enough to kill him. I find it easier and quicker to just pickpocket everything he has which is some nice scrolls and potions.
I've never tried to kill the Candlekeep Guard, Duke Elton, Elminster, Koveras, Scar or Gorian so I can't help you there.
Who are the ghost knights your talking about? Been a long while since I played through ToTSC.

Ahh, that makes sense. I never tried killing them either, infact I often avoided the firewine ruins except for the Gullykin entrance were there is a good fight. I found it anoying going through slowly and disarming traps while getting pelted with fire arrows and only getting a small XP payout in the end.
