Garrulous Glaahk Wanderer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm having some trouble here figuring out what makes this guy vulnerable. Any suggestions out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody madrigan Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is he the one that the text says exists in two dimensions at once? If so, I'm pretty sure he can only be hurt by area effect attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan jlsgaladriel Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Since he's between life and death, you also must be between life and death to do real damage to him. Click to reveal.. Move your party -- especially your damage-doers -- next to the pool just north of Gssch, and drink. They will receive a death curse. Damage Gssch at will. Only those affected by the curse will be able to do serious damage -- I actually left my priest out of the pool scramble, and included a summoned something. Just before the curse is to wear off, move those affected to the south pool, and drink the cure. Move north and repeat as necessary. On normal, I think I only needed to drink twice, so it's not an awful cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Clocknova Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I didn't find that to be true at all. I had one character take the curse, but all of my characters were able to damage him, even after the cursed character took the cure. They were only able to damage him a small percentage of the time, but they eventually wore him down. It was a very easy fight, if a bit long.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Kreador Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Your priest's Divine Retribution (assuming you have it at that point) will pretty much always hurt him, but to make the fight faster, follow jlsgaladriel's hint.

This sounds un-fun to me, but chacun à son gout -- each to his/her own! I don't think most players would want to proceed the slow way, however.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It took me a while to figure this one out too. But you can do it the hard way eventually. Even with one character death cursed it is doable. Invulnerable potion beats death curse usually if you want to skip the cure step, It also helps with the massive damage you can get from Gssch.

Rotghroth Rhapsody madrigan Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I didn't know about this death curse tactic. He can still be beaten without it, using area attacks, but it does take a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug othersean Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I killed him, but the gate didn't open. Is this normal? If not, does anyone know the SDF to get it to open? EDIT: nevermind. I noticed the other gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora MrWright Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It seems that non-targeted damage spells i.e. divine retribution of inferno wands work on him even when not death cursed. I don't know whether they are supposed to work that way or if that was just an oversight by the programmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
