Trouble in Ice Temple (Chapter 5)

After Nicademus leaves I kill the Gelugon and get lots of xp. After that I am swamped with demons before I can get half way down the hall. I get no xp for any of them. I can't rest and I can't save. Sometimes I am swamped with four nasty demons at one time. After awhile my summoned creatures are dead and I have no spells left. Creatures keep popping in as if they were summoned. Am I missing something here or is this a bug.

My experience

Hi

MY experience:

1) It is essential to kill all the monsters. Do NOT look for Nicademus, because when I killed all the monsters he attecked me in the 'prism gun' room, although I caused him no harm. Actually I don't know if it's a bug or if I missed something, but after you clean the outer passageway, go straight into prism room, and then proceed to other rooms.

Nicademus can summon monsters as well as White Abishai!!! Try to get rid of all White Abishai first.

I found Mordekainen's sword extremly useful.

Take care

Are you sure? Remeber to be careful with area effect spells, spells like lightining bolt & fireball, elemental-type summoning spells that like protection from evil, and even that throwing axe that does electricity damage. My guess is he was accidentally harmed and turned on you.
IIRC, you cannot proceed in an unpatched game if Nickademus is killed.

You probably have a pretty high-level party, and the demon lackeys are lower level foes. Thanks to IwD II's GREAT

rolleyes: ) exp-balance system, you won't get exp for kills like that.

The point of the level is to destroy all of the demons Nickademus "accidentally" summoned (or whatever his weak story was...) before you can leave. Many have had troubles finding all of the demons, as they move around and can be hard to find. Nickademus will tell you when you have killed the last one (If he's still alive

). Search previous threads on this forum if you're having trouble finding them all.
