    [​IMG] Ok, I am in day 1 of the time loop and up against Izbelah. I am using haste to get to her before she even starts the spell. I am using melee weapons but can not get past her being hurt before she gets her spell off. Anybody have any ideas? Chromatic Orb doesn't effect her, some missles do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I didn't have a problem with that; once my melee fighters reached her she was down almost right away.

    Do you have insect swarm? I've heard that works well.

    I also heard that going around the western part of the outside path to get to the boatman is best, but I was unable to accomplish this no matter how many tries I made while hasted. I would always get stopped on the wrong side of the avalanche.

    It takes some good dexterity. I normally take a monk, and at level 10, they seriously haul ***. Coupled with the boots o' speed, it was an easy thing.

    Send the absolute fastest person around the left side.

    After that, keep her busy. Which is what the swarm is good for. Any throwable potions are also good, since they leave out on the first round. Chuck a couple of burning oils in there, and get jiggy with it.

    I got stuck on this far ages. The only way that worked for me was:
    1) Cast Haste on someone
    2) Have them race around the western side, taking some avalanche damage
    3) Get Archon to take you to amphitheater (thus avoiding her summons) - he magically picks up the rest of the party who didn't run to him
    4) Run from amphitheatre to Izbelah and nail her with Chromatic Orb before she casts Seven Eyes - then she is easy pickings.

    It's a close run thing though and is one of the more interesting challenges in the game. Loads of fun.

    I was able to remove her quickly enough with arrows and bolts fired by all characters. She couldn't concentrate and even took decent damage.
