    The golem can only be hit by +3 weapons or better, so make sure you're equiped, then beat it up.

    Spells are tricky I think as I'm sure the magic resistance is high.

    magic resistence reduces the amount of magic damage, right? that would go the same for monsters/undead/constructs too?

    so if you did an instant death spell, like wail of the banshee, finger of death, disintigrate, etc., then how would you determine if the spell would work or not?

    I solved this way:

    4 party members away
    2 party members - melee fighters (high hit points, enchantment weapons, I think hammers and other bludgeoning)


    1 of the melee characters runs around the "room" (I choose the one attacked by golems), the other tries to hit those golems while waiting on them running nearby ...

    When those ugly golemns chase both my melee characters, I let them run in opposite directions ...

    Meanwhile other characters approaching and helping with:
    cleric heals, magiers casts haste, stoneskin and other useful buffs

    First time I run into "ambush" they slashed my weaker characters (in the meaning of hit points) - it was the end; after reloading I did it one the next try (according to above described arrangement) ...


    Helps ?

    I solved it by sneak attacking with my theif. My paladin was the only person who could hit it (for a whopping 1-3 damage) until my theif, who was whaling on the thing from behind, happened to land a sneak attack. I adjusted my tactics accordingly, and managed to squeak out a kill on the thing.

    These pieces of s**t are very tough opponents. I couldn't beat them so I decided to take the easy way: cheating hehehe :D ctrl+Y and they're as dead as dodos. :D :D

    Alexander - kinda spoils the challenge of the game.

    Urgazhi - Magic resistance determines the chance of making the spell hit, not the damage taken. There is another variable for lowering damage taken though I can't remember what it was called off the top of my head.
