So I'm trying to solo Melissan with my fighter/theif (22/30)on insane, without using Mage scrolls with Use Any Item. And right now I'm getting destroyed because of her protections: I can't damage her and she rips right through my -24 AC (with greater evasion up) without issues.

What protections exactly does she bring up? The combat log ONLY shows Stoneskin but there is no way that's it. Because I have to go to ridiculous lengths to be able to damage her, like Rod of Reversal followed by TRIPLE Wand of Spell Striking, allowing me to hit her for maybe 1 or 2 rounds and then it's back to her being immune. Plus even with the immunities down I miss quite a bit even with -23 THAC0.

The 'ol "run away and let whatever the hell it is expire" trick doesn't work because of her infinite summons: yeah they don't hit me much but when you're completely surrounded some natural 20's are going to come through. And if I have to hit her with 3-4 removal spells just to hit her for 1-2 rounds, I'm going to get done in via attrition. I could probably make it past 1 or 2 of the stages but all 4? Seriously doubt it.

Past that I have to figure out a way to know when she's going to timestop and run away in time, because that's an automatic death if I'm near her (HOW DOES SHE HIT EVERY TIME VS. -24 AC AHHHHHH).

So any suggestions or help would be appreciate

Well that actually wasn't so bad! I guess I let my frustration get the better of me: bad luck seems to have been my downfall in my first string of attempts (she doesn't actually hit every time vs. 24 AC thank god, and I don't actually miss often with -23 THAC0)



I'm not sure what my problem was with getting rid of her protections. I guess Breach doesn't work, because when I switch the Wands to Pierce Magic it went a lot better. And I learned when she casts time stop so it was pretty easy to Pierce > Interrupt.

Her Stoneskin spell is set up to not be removed by Breach, but to be removed by spells like Pierce Magic. It's the same case with Demogorgon and a few other enemies.

I seem to recall that I needed to use +4 weapons to hit her. I had a run using +3 and they weren't doing anything. I put some +4 weapons on (wasn't even proficient) and then we could hit her.

Yeah that might be part of why I was thinking I had issues: Belm making my character complain about "weapon has no effect" or something, and the combat log so filled with spam I didn't see it was just that..

Couldn't this be considered cheating by the game? Because if the game did the same for say Draconis in his Dragon Form, I'd know why I didn't hit him much...



So the strategy is to both cast Pierce Magic and Breach and Khelben's Warding Whip?



PS; How do you get AC -24. The lowest AC number I've gotten was -12, I think?

[aimlessgun]

Apparently Breach doesn't work period but Pierce alone worked every time like a charm.



-24 AC is -2 from armor, -1 from helmet, -3 from harper amulet, -1 from cape, -2 from gaxx ring, -4 from kensai I believe, -5 from 21 Dex (18 base + Lum Machine + Star card + Shruppak Armor), then another -6 from Greater Evasion ability is -24.
