The best way is having a "protection from magic" scroll because of the inprison spell.
+3 weapons are the ones that do any damage(and very little) to him and he regenerates. so get lilacor(very easy to find just check the gamebanshee BG II page on equiment and the slums district on walktrue) and the staff of rynn (buy it from ribald) and kick is ...ass... I mean skull. he just cast inprison spell so If a figther is protected from magic he does not get inprisoned and he cast the same spell all over again to the NPC closer to him. so put a NPC protected and get him close to him,them put the NPCs armed with +3 to attack him.

A little tip:
Take a wizard's eye and place as close to him as possible....summon two fire elem. ......the skull will keep trying to imprison the eye with out luck and don't even mind the fire elem. taking him from behind mean killing him from behind.
Very easy and very quick.

For as far as I know, Kangaxx requires a +4 or better. +3 is not enough.

The spell 'Melf's Minute Meteors' also seems to work well. With a scroll of Magic Protection (green symbol - be careful with these, the game only has two scrolls available!!) you can protect yourself against imprisonment spells.

It's tedious, takes a long time, but eventually you can bring him down and obtain your prize: the Ring of Gaxx!

(BTW: if you pickpocket the Lich that comes from the tomb BEFORE IT TURNS HOSTILE, you can acquire a second Ring of Gaxx. Note that you must pickpocket the LICH form, and NOT the DEMI-LICH form for this ... )

Something strange happened to me when fighting Kangaxx for the first time. He had imprisoned both my front-line fighters (Korgan and Keldorn) and when I casted freedom to get them back (after I crushed his bloody skull) only Korgan joined me!!!

Keldorn appeared as "has nothing to tell" to me, and even when I went away and then back, he still wouldn't join me. Just stood there like a moron.

Is it a bug or something else? I got around (the... curvy way, had to mess up with copying, mplayer, importing etc.) but how could I prevent this the next time?

What was your reputation? If it was too low, maybe Keldorn didn't want to join anymore ...

When I fought him, I followed a strategy similar to the one posted on the walkthrough page.

I had Aerie cast Spell Immunity: Abjuration and stand there to take the imprisonment hits, while I had my character smack on him with Carsomyr. I noticed that he was only taking 2 or 3 points of damage each swing, so I checked my items to see if I had something that would hit harder. I decided to try my ring of the ram, and BOOM...1 hit for 24 pts of damage and Kangaxx was lich dust.

Yup, ring of the ram does good work on the demi-lich...also bolt of glory (level 6 cleric spell) does some work...well better than the 2-3 points. And yes only +4 or better weapons can hit the demi-lich.
