is the efreet that kangaax summons immortal??? he goes into gaseous form when i "kill" it and reapears fully healed some time later. now im really doomed i left the area when i killed kangaax's first form cause i was outa spells and now he is just waiting for me to come down the stairs so he can imprision my whole party (like he did 6 F*KIN TIMES!!!). i dont have time to do the simulacrum + daystar combo. tryed quivering palm too. and desintegrate. and cast breach then have my party pile on him didnt help either. and my summons dont come down the stairs!!!

BTW my pary is still LOW lvl:
lvl 11 sorceror
lvl 11 conjurer
lvl 10 undead hunter
lvl 11 monk
lvl 11 cleric (helm)
lvl 12 swashbuckler

im gona kill tha dragons and then come for Kangaxx

Here is a rather drastic approach, but I once used it in a similar situation. Equip your protagonist with a Protection from Magic scroll from Ribalds. Then, kill all your other characters. I had to have five vs one, then four vs one, then three vs one....etc. You will be able to resurrect them at a later time.Then before you enter Kangaxx lair, activate the protection scroll on yourself( if your main character can't use the scroll, then have your second to last character activate it on you). With that scroll, you should be fine to take on Kangie. Hit him with +4 or better weapon( I recommend the Staff of rynn because it makes such a good whacking noise) for about 3 mins, take his Ring of gaxx and voila. Go to any temple and resurrect the rest of your party members. Yeah, I know it's suicidal, but it got me the Gaxx Ring.

You don't need to kill the rest of your party. Just have them stand in back and the lich only targets the character in front of him. Save some gold and just have your party stand around instead!!

I thought that at first, but as soon as I appeared through the entrance way, he started firing his Imprisonment spells. I lost three of my chaps before I could get a swipe at him. #Shoulder shrug#

There is another od for destroying Kangaxx. Since Beserkers in their beserk mode are immune to Imprisonment spells, you can have a beserker character recieve the brunt of Kangaxx's spell repetoire, while your spellcasters peel his magical defences off with their dispel magics. Be sure you have a lot of Prot. from magic (preferably 4) and a +4 weapon (preferably Carsomyr). If done right, you can kill Kangaxx without any casualties.
I would suggest that you make an Inquisitor NPC. They are invaluable when fighting wizards. Also, beserkers are the best fighter kit in the game so you shouldn't be without one to back your team up.

The Efreet is not immortal. It will change to gasseous form instead of dying, heal up, then change back. It will do this one more time if you "kill" it again, but (I believe) no more than that.

An easy way to get rid of them is simply resting. You can rest right next to their gasseous forms without them turning back and becoming hostile.

I'd never rest next to a gaseous form. Unless I created it, then I'd ( cue poor Fart joke) it.

might as well just use shadowkeeper if your going to stuff like that.

NeKr0mAnCeR · Post by **NeKr0mAnCeR** » Tue Jul 31, 2001 1:38 pm

im not gona use shadow keeper, cheats or anything else like that

i used cheats and shadowkeeper in my previous game and it killed all the fun.....

DON'T DO CHEATS

Goof · Post by **Goof** » Tue Jul 31, 2001 2:05 pm

your only fooling yourself here kid, it's still cheating no matter how you name it.

Getting two Rings of Gaxx is taking advantage of a programming oversight... Some would call that Cheese.

A very useful way to get rid of efreeti. Used this method on the guarded compound and the planar sphere, cast cloudkill at the area with the gaseous form. Kills it right away, not sure if you get xp though but the gas never moves afterwards. Or you can use deathfog.
