Aec'Letec

Anyone khave a good strategy for killing this beast? Every time I try someone in my party dies. It's those darn ghouls he creates. When I send in my fodder, he changes them and they kill a party member with 1 strike.
Also, how do I fight him when he's magic resistant and normal-weapon immune?

 

Potion of Mirrored Eyes, you say? I wish I had known that, I ended up leaving my party in the house above him, collecting all the neutral characters, and taking them there, leaving them, then collecting all the evil NPC's, send them down alone, when they die, recruit neutral NPC's, and only when I had no other option did I take my good NPC's down there to fight.

 

Is that what the "Dying" status means?

 

Who is this guy?

 

You mean Aec'Letec? He's a demon from the TotSC expansion in the town of Ulgoth's Beard.

 

You should do like I did.. I sendt my archer (Kivan) down alone with the boots of speed, ran into one corner, and started shooting all the cult members standing around Aec'Letec.

If he saw me, I would lure him into a corner, and run like hell up the stairs. Then hide in shadows, and start shooting once more..

When all the cult members were dead, I sent my entire party down, and presto!!

A bit cheezy, perhaps, but somtimes it is just as satisfying as "tanking" someone..

 

I'd wish I'd known about this.

My first game was bad...
My Paladin cast protection from evil on everybody and that helped. The demon attacked the summoned monsters and couldn't see us. Many reloads though because when you first enter he gets one group stun shot in before you can summon and one gaze.

Second game I knew a little better and had a cleric (two actually) with group protection from evil which lasts longer. Also used the potion of invunerability (SP?) to lower svaing thorws by a ton on my dwarf who already had great saving throws. Dwarves get the best throws. Set him in to absorb the gazes. Only one reload.

 

Kill all cultist in the cellar first, a cheap trick to do this, is to let a member with long-range weapons, walk around the room and stick close to the walls, if you do this, Aec'Letec won't see you, and so you can kill the members fast, otherwise he respawns everytime you kill him.
Another cheap trick how to beat him, is to send one member down, use magic or long-range weapons on him, go upstairs quick, or you will be hit by him, repeat this and you get him down without fear of being killed.

 

I used 6 potions of mirror eyes, used the tanks on the nearest cult members and a combination of fireballs and Arrows of Detonation on the back cultists. I needed to divert a tank to hold off the Demon but did not go for the kill until the cultists were dead. This works fine but i took a fair bit of damage.

My first attempt was not so clever as half the party got gazed to undeath and the rest were killed by the (unexpected) second incarnation of Aec'Letec.

I had a stroke of luck last time I fought Aec'Letec - the Mirror Eyes reflected his gaze attack and left him stunned - easy meat!

 

Thank you everyone. I'll try those suggestions. But first, I'll need to prepare more dispel magics.

 

If you play with the Dark side of the Swoard Coast (yeah i know not many do but still) the Ettins Wans makes pretty much anything piece of cake.

 

IIRC, he/it is particularly vulnerable to cloudkills. So get some mages in and blast away with them, directly on top of him. I honestly can't remember how many it takes to finish him this way, but it isn't a lot.

 

Just tried a different method.

1. P. from evil 10'
2. Mirror eyes and speed potions all round
3. Use monster summon spells to fend him off while I kill the cultists. (Use a wand as you can get lots)
4. Tank him
5. Mage uses up as many dispell magic scrolls as needed.

Be careful with the summoned monsters as they cannon hurt him and I think that he can use them as a source of hit points with a Vamp. touch spell.

 

I had an awfull long-time killing him, cause i had a couple of mods which makes enemies at least 2x stronger. It took me a dazzling 90 minutes to defeat him.

 

Which Mods were those?

Tell me as I need to avoid them untill I get much better!
