Sun Fire Bullets versus Kangaxx

PaladinAfficionado · Tue, 25th Dec '01, 2:36pm

Purely by accident I noticed that Kangaxx, the over-ambitious demi-lich, is vulnerable to Sun Fire Bullets.

Has anyone else observed this?

So, if you're having problem with the demi-lich form, quickly equip your party with slings, some Sun Fire Bullets each, Haste - and let him hav'em from all of the party members...

Yes, I've noticed, and that was how I killed him the first few times, before I knew of Spell Immunity and berserkers...

Yeah, but the Sling of Everand is +5 as well, and requires no ammunition. If you have that, it's just as good.

Another very effective weapon for kangaxx the demi-lich (and undead in general) is flamethongue, the ever-underestimated flaming longsword without fire damage

I've also noticed he's vunerable to the Killsword.

ejsmith, is that supposed to be a joke? The killsword can kill anything in the game with a single stroke. Might as well say that instant-kill from the console works on Kangaxx.

Most effective: He's vulnerable to the Master of Nuhn...when you face the demi-lich, summon him....et voila! Enjoy your paté macabre!

Taluntain: The Killsword doesn't work too hot on trolls. They don't have enough time to go through their semi-death throes.

But yes, it was supposed to be mildly funny. As in "something other than a frown". But I know with Extremist, it would probably be more of a snarl.

*sigh*

<whine> Why does everyone have to pick on the cheaters? </whine>

Um, wow! A cheat works on Kangaxx, SO impressive! Like I care.

Sunstone bullets do +2 and +2 firedamage... Strange that the game seem to see these bullet's as +4 bullets. I normally just use Protection from Magic scroll and Flamethongue on a fighter, or Spell Immunity, Tenser's Transformation together with staff of Rymn on a mage.. Both work well. But the bullets can be good assistance then for normally I kick Kangaxx in one on one.

I just killed Kangaxx again, quite easy this time with two guys attacking him. I had Anomen with the Sling of Everand, and my Assassin/Mage with the Staff of Rynn. I didn't use traps to kill him in lich form this time, so I'm very proud of myself

Did you use protection of magic and spell immunity??? Else with your tactic you would still be imprisoned...

Thu, 27th Dec '01, 12:17pm

Protection from Magic, of course. Heh, I had two Rings of the Ram; one from killing Torgelias and one from pickpocketing him before that, but I totally forgot about them during the battle.
