    Doesn't the cloak of the stars make +5 darts? Shouldn't they hit Kangaxx the Demi-Lich? I know it sounds stupid, and haven't tried it, just curious.

    I believe that they disappear after one day, so you can't have more than six, and I don't believe that's good enough to take Gaxxy out.

    Then it's better to buy the Sling of Everard +5, but you still do only 1-2 damage... And that's bad because he is regenerating...

    definitely not. ring of the ram deals full damage (5-30) and traps deal ~1/4 or so. at least kangaxx was dead in my game and didn't cast a single imprisonment.

    Bloodtitan, You can only get 2 rings of the ram in the game (without cheating).

    one from pickpocketing Turgal in the council of six building and another after you kill him.

    [/Edit]
    Wait, I just found out how to get a third one by using a bag of holdings

    You can actually get three of the ring of Ram's.

    1. Pickpocket the wizard.
    2. Get Valygar and open the Sphere but DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT go in the Planar Sphere
    3. Sell him out to the Wizards
    4. Go in and kill the Wizard

    I never do this. I'm a roleplayer, not a powergamer.

    with an evil party i won't consider it powerplaying. you kill valygar and want a reward, but you also want to get into the sphere. IMHO it is just a bug, maybe there should be another item to be pickpocketed.

    I never knew you could get three rings of the ram. If you fire off all three after he turns into the demi-lich, should that kill him outright? He only has about 50 hp, and IIRC, the ring of the ram hits for 18. So, you have 18*3 = 54. He should be dead, or it least very nearly at that point.

    The +5 darts are still a good idea, even if you only get 5 of them. Yes, they will only hit for about 1 pt each, but that still means it's 10% of his total hitpoint. AFAIK, the demi-lich does NOT regenerate. He's just tough to kill because most things only hit for one point of damage.

    One question - does the improved mace of destruction have a chance of instant-killing him? I know I've hurt him with it, but does that save or be killed stat apply to the demi-lich?

    At one point in an earlier game, I killed the demi-lich with one swing of the improved mace of disruption. I have no idea what mods I had and if they impact that battle (i.e., does improved Kangaxx remove this possibility, add it, or leave it alone?)

    @dmc: I dont think its a bug because Kangaxx is an undead and that Mace destroys undead, kind of chessy though
