My Solo Experience

Decided to solo as a mage, you seem to do a lot of running and summoning but is quite a experience. Traps are a pain though.
One thing I found out do not attack monsters that follow you around the Orges in Ulmar Hills as they instantly go hostile (bug maybe).

Traps should not be a big problem if you go along the wall. With a party of one it should not be a problem to do. In fact it became my only way of moving after some time with my wizard slayer.

The bad thing with soloing is that your summons can't come with you to new areas, stupid really.

The mage could use mirror image to protect himself from traps (it gives a good chance to avoid damage even when the saving throw failed).

Casting all imunity spells and changing into a Troll has worked best for me so far. Man had some tuff battles the hardest been the Lich in the City Gates area. A work up towards that big n nasty one.

My spiders got him in the end after I kill a pit fiend.

Mind you I gave up trying to kill a Demon in the planet sphere any ideas or clues how to even hurt one with a mage?

You need higher level summons: Elementals. And you can also use the almighty magic missile. Just keep away from the first gaze attacks and use a Vocalise spell/sroll if silenced.

With my solo mage, the demon in the Planar Sphere was an extreme challenge. What I eventually did was use the Wand of Monster Summoning to distract it, cast Lower Resistance at least once, and Skull Trap twice. I hate those Death Gaze's, don't you? Anyway, that strategy works well in a number of situations.

Well I kept getting my butt kicked, teach me for not learning lower resistance. So I got on my cell phone and called in a demon killer whom sliced him all up for me. I guess I should have done the sphere latter on. Oh but I did kill a golem with my throwing dagger all by myself
