Well, a complete tactical guide would be kinda a cheat.

I'll say to stock up on healing potions, keep healing spells ready, a few resurrect scrolls, and to look around the area for things to help you.

But in any event, give it a go first *Grins* If you can't beat him, then ask for help. He's tough, not unbeatable ;)

Hey Jessy, thanks, what about the things that are stationed around the circle there where Valdis is? I seem to remember someone saying that he can be shot by somethnig but I can't figure what? :( :(

Well, there's one or two of those things on the way up the mountain. Why not hit a few and see what happens? :mischief:

Though, in retrospect, I don't call it cheating to say that Valdis can not be beat by conventional means. The game designers were a bit narrow-minded in forcing people to win the battle they way they wanted it won. Though the cinimatics that come from the final battle make it worth it :D

He should be chasing you and attacking you. You just need to lead him to one of the eyes / guns.

Say, I'm sorry guys I have got mistaken here. It was not Valdis that I was fighting, it was that 'Dark Mage' guy. :o :o

It was a pig to do and mutch worse than Valdis IMHO. :speech:

I just kept atacking him with all I'd got and I found that you haven't to let him 'charge' any of the oblisks, otherwise he gets them all throwing those 'shock balls' and your number is quickly up! :eek:

So I attacked the oblisks just as quick as he did and he didn't get any going. In between I gave him what for and soon had him down. This sems like the way to do it guys...get the oblisks away from him as fast as you can. :laugh:

Sorry about the misunderstanding here and real thanks for all your help. ;)

Oh, the last Mage. Yeah, he's a bugger.

The spell he casts actually shields the obilisk and prevents you from using it. And yes, the "shock ball" the shield casts out are deadly. A friend of mine that cheats constantly (no challenge there, imo), even found out they kill people though the "invincible" cheat code :laugh:

Personally, I love that touch. Means pure cheaters are screwed at that stage until the learn to actually play the game :mischief:

Slow spells and weapons that petrify/freeze are nice to take against boss-casters. Slow spells sometimes make them "fumble" spells, and petrifying/freezing stops them cold :laugh: :cool:

Archmage

Archmage was the easiest boss fight ever.

I just had to keep thumping him with my 3 halfgiants and my myrthilhorn whilst avoiding his snail-fast skulls.
