seemed really tough...

any tricks or sth like that?

It really sucks...all I can do is just running. Is there any magic or certain "tactics" to take them out?

Tks in advance.

Whatever you have that has the highest enchantment. Piercing, that is....

Iron Golems have damage reduction 50/+3 which means that with any weapon of less than +3, the first 50 points of damage are ignored.

Electricity should slow it and fire heals it; any other magic it should be immune to.

Yup, if you don't have +3 weapons, you are seriously SOL.

Have only one +3 sword and some arrows...that's it. And it's not even making a dent. We are so hosed. I've tried hasting my fighter, so he can get to the point where he can use his bow...to no avail. There's too many of them for one sword to be effective. Any ideas?

I had all my men standing at the map exit after killing the duergar,went back with my lightfoot halfling rogue, unlocked the chest,paused the game ,took the loot,and ran as hell back to my party and I simply went on to next map, they are too hard at that level to beat

I did something similar, myself. I ignored the tomb at first, defeated the Grey Dwarves, and then went about my business on the next map. After I purchased some +3 weapons, or found them on corpses, then I came back. I did that not because what was in the tomb struck me as being very spectacular. Rather, I did it because it was a challenge.

Anyway, just a thought.

I'm doing the exact same thing. Have bypassed the tomb for the time being....and will come back and get it later. Although I do believe I could haste my rogue and deal with it now. Hmmm, I may do that instead. Thanks!

Tsk, tsk. Robbing those poor monks of their hard earned relics. And after they let you play in their little fun rooms, too. What is the world coming to?

LMAO! Actually, I've passed on those relics... they can have 'em. :D I'll just be glad to get out of the Underdark in one piece! Facing the spiders now.... :rolleyes:
