- I killed this, after some forethought, without any problem. My method may not
- work for many people, although it is quite straight forward. My part constists
- of 2 monks, a ninja, a priest, and 2 more ninjas. Only the middle ninja and
- priest have their original class. To kill the beast, everyone hides in shadows
- at the first round. The priest uses the ring of invisibility to hide as well.
- (Of course before you go in, cast magic-screen, armorplate and enchanted blade).
- Now the beast can't see anyone to attack. The next round, everyone starts casting
- spells (spell casting doesn't break invisibility or shadow hiding). It is important
- to get in as many armor-melt spells as possible, and as many anti-magic as well.
- One create life to get a godzylli is useful the first round, as this is quite likely
- to distract the beast. Now all you need to do is cast random damage spells (which
- will affect the beast some of the time), and constantly cast level 7 weaken spells.
- Eventually the beast will be weak enough so that 5 or 6 lifesteal spells will kill
- it. I did this, without losing a single character, the first time I tried using
- this strategy. It is time consuming, and if someone doesn't hide the first round
- it is likely they will die (I found this out in developing the strategy).

- I hope someone finds this interesting!
