Deadly poison stays on them, continuing to do damage, after they shift forms. You basically spam Shiv, canceling auto-attack each time, until you get a good stack. Once they shift, let the poison tick until it's about to drop off and then hit Envenom. I've been able to kill most of them this way, but they'll occasionally have a few health points left. At that point, I either use a bomb or a Holy Water from Strat to finish them off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676614284136193536.post-73809256093377542542008-02-15T21:09:00.000+01:002008-02-15T21:09:00.000+01:00OK, i went ahead and enchanted a spare [Claw of th...OK, i went ahead and enchanted a spare [Claw of the Phoenix] with fiery enchant.<BR/>I had the mob to 1% before it shifted forms and spend about a minute poking it with shiv to no avail.<BR/>Immune to all attacks, and fiery weapon didn't proc once.<BR/><BR/>Time to stock up some regular explosives, or if you're not an engineer EZ-thro dynamite works as well.<BR/>At most you'd have to train the two ghosts around the area while waiting for the cooldown.<BR/><BR/>Also, i just killed all six bosses and left mobs in all the rooms. Then had a mage come in for the coven room. Gandling did indeed spawn at that time, so the coven is the only "mandatory" room. However he teleports you everywhere and anywhere, which will result in a likely wipe. So it's still recommended to clear other stuff as well :Pbbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741016115615619264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676614284136193536.post-31966563488145724452008-02-15T16:47:00.000+01:002008-02-15T16:47:00.000+01:00Well, wiping means progressing and learning I hope...Well, wiping means progressing and learning I hope.

The rest isn't much of an issue, but when i gather up some grenades i'll go and see how much you can actually leave alone to actually spawn gandling.<BR/><BR/>BBR.bbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741016115615619264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676614284136193536.post-58495264904469492212008-02-13T14:17:00.000+01:002008-02-13T14:17:00.000+01:00"The boss herself is a pushover really, but if you..."The boss herself is a pushover really, but if you wish to fight the headmaster you have to clear this room. (Don't know why but he simply won't show up unless you do)"<BR/><BR/>Gandling wont spawn if there is anything left in any of the six rooms as that would interfere with his ability to Teleport you around them.<BR/><BR/>I've not tried the run for a while, and there seem to be mixed comments about the shades on various sites, but I'm unconvinced that a (eg) Fiery weapon enchant will help as they generally require a successful melee hit to proc (the reason why the Shades wont take poison damage). <BR/>It -is- possible to kill them before they pop, but you wont manage it often enough for it to be a vaild tactic. However, Oil of Immolation (and/or bombs) do the job nicely.<BR/><BR/>Soloing Gandling is hilarious, and a very nice runecloth grind - he'll teleport you to a room, realise he has nothing to do and run after you.<BR/>You have plenty of time to kill and loot the temporary mobs in the room. Then just wait for Gandling to turn up and port you again. You can keep this up more or less indefinately, until you get bored or he runs out of mana, then just finish him off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
