One word...... Imprisonment!

and he has an unlimited arsenal of that spell

so best advise is to get a +4 or better weapon or a Fire Elemental and get the Magic protection scroll from The Adventurer's Mart in Waukeen's Promenade. cast the spell on the person with the weapon or the fir elemental and hit beat his brains out

If you have Jaheira and can conjure 2 elementals get both scrolls from Ribald and it the encounter turns into a fire and forget its full proof.

Hopefully you haven't used the scrolls yet.

Good luck

Yeah. He has an innate spell called "imprisonment" and if he catches your main character with it..your 100 credits is up. You have a number of choices to defeat it;Spoiler,Spoiler,Spoiler

a) buy a magic protection scroll(green coloured) from Adventure Mart and use it on your one of your characters making sure that this character is the ONLY character near Gangaxx( if he casts this spell on any of your other unprotected characters they will be lost forever..almost).If your character is a fighter, whack it for about two minutes with a +4 or better weapon
b) have a mage cast Spell Immunity on his/herself and then fire some Melf's Minute Meteors at it
c) if you have a Berzerker or Barbarian put that character into RAGE state and proceed to hit it with a +4 or better weapon.
Incidentally, Gangaxx is probably the hardest true character in the game.
Or useful items are Ram Rings, Thief traps and Daystar(Sunray). Vampiric touch is another good spell to use.

Hope this helps. Also, do a search under Gangaxx to see how heated this topic is!!

Does imprisonment work one characters with 100% magic resistance?, if not.. here a good way to wast his spells.
Take your mage, fire off polymorph self. Choose the blob (Little green slime thing) and just let him be in his field of view. Your are 100% magic resistance no spell should work on you. BUT!, if he summons ANY creatures, polymorph back and get OUT!...

I've been trying to follow the advice here, especially since some people are killing Kangaxx in chapter 2. My problem -- the only +4 weapon I know of is the Holy Avenger -- and I can't beat that dragon very early.

What are other +4 Weapons? Not including the crossbow with limitless fire arrows from Watchers Keep.

Hmm, there's that +4 Quartersatff in the Adventurer's Mart. If you've got a pickpocket in the group, money should be no problem so go buy that. Even if your fighter isn't skilled with staves, it's only a -1 to hit for non-proficiency.

If you have bonus merchants, Everard's sling is +5.... and you don't have to waste ammo

MELF'S MINUTE METEORS ARE +5!

Just kill him with Fire Elementals and Melfs Minute Meteors.

do think of 2 things:
- cast wizzard eye in front of him, he will be focusing all of his imprison spells on the eye and that doesn't work.
- Pickpocket Kangaxx just after he get out of his tomb and jus before he starts talking, that way u got 2 ring of gaxx and one u can use imediatly

I waited on Kangaxx until after returning from the Underdark. As soon as Kangaxx started to change forms, I changed into the Slayer. I killed Kangaxx in about 8 rounds.
