A weapon to kill Kangaxx

Remove all ads!

I need a +4 or higher weapon to kill Kangaxx the Demi-Lich a.k.a the most annoying floating skull ever.
Are there any to be found?

(DAMN!!! Why did I have to leave Keldorn and sell Carsomyr?!?!?!)

 

Ribald sells Staff of Rynn+4 a quarrterstaff enchanted enough to hit Kangaxx! Go buy it!

 

All right. Thanks!

 

The Staff of Magi if you have it hits as a +5 weapon. I don't recall if the mace of disruption hits him or not.

 

The Mace of Disruption +2 does hit him (not sure about the un-upgraded version). It's got only +2 THAC0, but its enchantment is +5.

If you've got to chapter 6, then the list of weapons that can harm Kangaxx suddenly skyrockets.

 

Weapons that I personally know will hit Kangaxx the Demi-Lich:

SotM +5
Imp. MoD +2/hits as +5
Flametongue +4 vs. undead
Melf's Minute Meteors hits as +5
Boneblade +4
Staff of Rhynn +4
Carsomyr +5
Crom Faeyr +5
Everard's sling +5

 

The unimproved Mace of Disruption hits as a +4.
Kangaxx has no protection against elemental damage, so the + 4Halberd you get in the underdark is a good bet.
If you have the Item Upgrade mod, you can make the Celestial Fury +5 in Chapter 2.

 

Any summon (even while using nonmagical weapons)should be able to hurt Kangaxx.

 

That +1/+4 vs. Giants Hammer from the DeArnise Keep hits him too.

 

Cutthroat +4 works doesn't it?

 

It should. This was just the big list of what I tried and succeeded with. I'm fairly sure any +4 or better weapon will hit the Demi-Lich.

 

Thanks guys. I killed Kangaxx after using some protection from undead scrolls with the Staff of Rynn and Melf's minute meteors.

 

4 words:
Ring...of...the...RAM!!!
(if you pocket one you have two + little luck = near dead Kangaxx)

Trust me...

 

Melfs Minute Meteors also works a treat, provided your mage has decent THAC0
Daystar is also a lifesaver.

 

MMM suck hard against Kangaxx as mages generally do not have THAC0 enough to hit a floating skull, and if they even manage to hit, Kangaxx regenerates so quickly they can not do any damage virtually. Even 3-4 mages, all hasted and Tenser's transformationed, attacks with MMM, I suspect that they still may not kill Kangaxx. And once they run out of MMMs, they can not cast anything and they are horribly screwed unless they have SoM, or Rynn's Staff+4 to whack at the skull for little effect indeed.

PS: [snip], but this is SoA forum so I would rather not mention these. [Then don't and save the mods the effort of editing your post ] -dmc

Daystar doesn't work against Kangaxx unless you have the Consistent +x/+y component from G3 Tweaks installed.

 

I only use Daystar for a double whammy of Sunray - one from Anomen and one from the sword.

 

I summoned a fire elemental and arial servant and put Protection from Magic on them, and I won without doing anything else

 

@Silverstar
MMM rulz!
I have killed that annoying skull whit MMM!
I was F/M/T..whit no use any item yet...

 

Oops sorry DMC I didn't mean any trouble!

@JA
Well in your F/M/T's hands MMMs may rule but my C/M with 8 DEX and 8 STR and a lousy THAC0 to begin with just could not hit a simple flying skull most of the time.
