How to get rid of the demogorgon

jace4ever · Post by **jace4ever** » Thu Jun 21, 2001 7:31 pm

Fellow members of the forums, I have been trying ways and means to kill the demogorgon, and yet I can't even get near him. Not to mention hitting him. Is there any way to kill this idiot, I need your advice here. The designers are really sick to design this creature....*no offence*
Your help will be very much appreciated...

Heres how i did it...after about 1hr of trying to defeat him and his endless minions i noticed that

if you don't kill the first two merideths (sp)...the ones with 6 arms...he won't summon anymore...therefore. forget about them and concentrate a full on assault on the demogorgon.

What especially helped was anomen cast regeneration on my inquisitor and himself and we attacked from both ends while jahaira and imoen kept those 2 six armed ladies busy...

What actually killed him was my inquisitor used his ability to hit 10 times in a round twice and that got him feeling some pain.

Also forget about summoning monsters to help...he'll kill em right away...if you summon demons he'll say something silly like "you cannot turn my own against me" and cast implosion on them...dead. Basically get your toughest fighters get them regenerating and with healing potions and +4 or +5 weapons and hack away 10 times a round.

Don't have ToB here, so I can't try out myself, but...

if you don't kill the first two merideths (sp)...the ones with 6 arms...he won't summon anymore...therefore. forget about them and concentrate a full on assault on the demogorgon.

How about if you petrify, polymorph, imprison or blind these things? If no more appear, you have some breathing room.

Nature's Beauty is incredibly effective against creatures with good saves. Forget about the insta-kill: it blinds, permanently, no save). If that affects the Meridiths or the Demogorgon, you're in business.

How do you attack 10 times per round?
What happens if you have no paladins in your party?
In my case, my party consists of a berserker (PC), Minsc, Jaheira, Anomen, Aerie and Imoen.

I know this might sound stiuped, as I live in Australia and ToB is being released th 25th...how about Imprisonment? LOL!! I bet the *** isn't immune to that :Þ

I doubt it will work If it does, many players like myself won't be having such a big headache. Like I said, the game designers are really sick man....

Here are his stats (posted on blackisle forums by Setsuna (have to give her credit)

Demogorgon

HP: 290
AC: -12, -14 for missiles
THAC0: -8
5 attacks
Resists:
100 fire
100 electricity
50 cold
90 magic
50 magic cold
100 magic fire
10 slashing
10 piercing
10 crushing
10 missile

The saves are the same.

His attacks are as the following:
Considered magical (+5 enchantment). Inflicts disease with each hit. Regenerates about 6 hp per second or so.
Immune to:
Charm
Panic
Poison
Sleep
Stun
Slay (vorpal again)
Feeblemind
Disease
Hold
Confusion
Petrify
Polymorph
Death spells

So strategize away ... I think the whirlwind attack idea with very high-level fighters is the best strategy for him and just about anything else in TOB. I just started playing and had Sarevok do 200hp on one crit hit - insta-kill of bad guy.

Foe Bane +5 again is recommended because it does extra damage to extra planar creatures thus sareverok was ripping him up , while keldorn and minsc were merrily whacking away with holy avenger and vopral

If you hit him with a couple of Lower Resistances (Spell Trigger, anyone?), Demo-boy seems to be vulnerable to both Nature's Beauty and Imprisonment.

So what is the most effective way to deal with the demogorgon anyway other than just letting him bash my party to death in melee?

Wait a minute, I though Imprisonment ignored magic res.

jace4ever · Post by **jace4ever** » Fri Jun 22, 2001 11:02 pm

Well maybe one of you guys can try the imprisonment spell and see if it works. I can't play TOB now due to my discs being loaned by my friend....
Hope to hear some answers soon

He isn't that tough... I offed him in my first try!

I cast just about every single protection spell I had, summoned in a Deva and two Elemental Princes. Imoen and Nalia used Improved Alacrucity and bombarded the sucker with Spell Strikes, Pierce Magic, Breach and Lower Resistance etc. Anomen rained Holy Smite, Bolt of Glory etc on the whole congregation. Keldorn (ForBane) and my Paladin PC (Holy Avenger) were both regenerating and used Hardiness, Greater Whirlwind Attack, Critical Strike etc in close combat. I focused solely on the Demogorgon, and didn't use a single healing porion in the battle. The Deva died, but who cares about that - she's a summoned creature.

What spell protections would be useful???
Perhaps u can give me some advice.

ReignsOfPower · Post by **ReignsOfPower** » Sat Jun 23, 2001 6:14 am

OMG! I just fought the Demogorgon for about 2 hours and I can barely hit him!

I tried heaps of lower Res. and Break type spells spells so I could at least Imprisonment the guy (ignoring items lost) yet still he didn't die! All my guys are at level 26+! This Sucks arse!

Hey... where did you get a copy of ToB from?!

The rest of us diggers have to wait till mid-week. You must have a cousin at the docks!

jace4ever · Post by **jace4ever** » Sat Jun 23, 2001 8:01 am

Lets just say that I was lucky enough to secure one iN Singapore

So what is the most effective way or tactics to deal with the demogorgon. Hope Buck Satan can put up some good strategies soon...
