    how do you kill them? ive got my entire party surrounding one hammering lumps out of it, but every time i get it up to badly injured it seems to instantly heal back to uninjured..

    i know theyve got good regeneration but this is taking the cake

    Just one death spell(6. level mage spell) or Abi Dalzim's Horrid Wilting(8. level mage spell).
    If you are at low levels,attack with all your party to one werewolf,hold it or paralyze it(celestial fury is useful).Take them down one by one.

    Unfrtunately there's a known bug with wolfwere regeneration where it can stack with itself indefinitely if you save/reload in a wolfwere area.

    try hold monster...Celestial Fury can help u...Another tactic is to have your mage cast Greater Malison and the a massive offensive spell such as Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting,Skull Trap etc when the Greater Werewolf is "badly injured". I think this should work and at large groups of werewolfes...If u your mage is at high level,except for Horrid Wilting,you can use Symbol:Stun (for a pack) or Powerword:Stun.
    I think I helped you,didn't I??
    I that doesn't work...oe word for you: BUG!!

    If you still can't deal enough damage, do what Argohir suggested and cast instant death spells. Eventually you'll get lucky and the werewolf fails its saving throw. You can use Doom and Greater Malison to improve your odds. Then cast high level chromatic orb, finger of death, slay living, disintegrate, flesh to stone, nature's beauty, etc.

    A 'slow' spell is handy, since it slows regeneration as well as the speed of a beastie.

    Even better is the Flail of Ages, as its 'slow' effect is *cumulative* with no save. Give it to a character with a decent THAC0 (preferably with * or ** in flails) and numerous attacks per pound (boosted by an 'improved haste' spell if you have it).

    With the entire party bashing away the uber-GWW should be toast.

    Yes there is a nasty bug about it,it regenerates so fast you can't kill him with weapons!All my fighters surrounded it and wailed with powerful blows,it was injured and then UNINJURED a second later!I was so frustrated!You need very powerful spells(finger of death,abi dalzimetc.)but I believe the best way is the Blog's advice.Cast Greater Malison,send a Doom spell,this will give it a total of -6 in saves!Then have a mage hurl a Chromatic Orb!(it had +6 to save,but now it is neutralized by the doom and greater malison.)If the mage is high enough level(he SHOULD be)the creature will be petrified!I killed it easily this way and laughed how I couldn't defeat it earlier.You can try some Disintegrates or Flesh to Stone with Greater Malison+Doom.(it will be more usefull)But it is fun to kill such an annoying creature with a level 1 spell!
