[QUOTE="Tal Rasha, post: 3639441, member: 46213"] Ah, the fight against Demogoron. So many pleasant memories. I remember that I enjoyed exploring the keep he was being kept in, and although there were some fights to go through before you reached him, I honestly wasn't that concerned. In fact, I was a bit insulted that the NPCs who gave me that quest (clerics, were they?) suggested that I imprison him instead of fighting him. Long story short, I went in severly unprepared the first time around, and was consequently properly kicked. Hard. After this came a long, long series of reloads which taught me to not be stingy with my potions and scrolls, and to be on the look-out for sharp drops in my NPCs' health :). I do think that there were some rather aggressive snake-women in there as well, I recall only being able to physically hit Demogorgon after I got through them. Did he by any chance summon anything else? Regardless, in the end, my spell casters are what allowed me to defeat him. Praise be to my Thayan mage (Edwin) and my cleric (Viconia). I summoned, if memory serves, a Deva and a Dark Planetar. I literally could not believe how powerful they were. They kept back the marilliths where my characters had previously failed miserably. So, with the summons' might and spells (also awesome, btw), my main character(Kensai, dual-wielding Katanas) doing the bulk of the mêlée damage, and the other characters supporting, healing and throwing bad spells at him, I was finally able to defeat Demogorgon. Man, was it ever satisfying. Oh, and my characters went in with so many enchantments on them I half expected them to become encumbered :). You see, something like this I really like. It gives you something to work at and makes you feel good when you overcome the challenge. The Pool of Radiance fight that you mention, however, just sounds unfair. There was no cloak of mirroring in the game I assume? :D [/QUOTE]
