another way, is to try and kill him quickly. obviously, with 9,100 HP (on hard), you can't quickly kill him that way, however, if you can critically kill him (via weapons or spells) you have a chance. or at least put up what you can.
his weaknesses are Fire, Cold, and Missiles (25% resistance), and Acid (95%). his AC is -14 (for comparison, Myxlmynx is -10 AC) making him very hard to hit (3rd hardest behind the Fiend and the Thing from hell), so weapons are out.
left is spells. try Silence, level 7. worth a shot. also the cloud spells, like Death Cloud (chance to kill every round, putting his vitality to the test, it'll work eventually). Deadly Poison might work as well, since it first tries to kill, and faiiling that, tries a Badly Poison, then a regular Poison, meaning, it's got a pretty good chance of doing something.
also, Conjuration, Create Life, and Illusion are helpful, as he may just cast D L at them, saving your party.
another thing you can do, is equip all the Light Resisting stuff on 1 character (preferably an elf or faerie), and have the rest hide or use Invisibility potions, and cast all the buffing spells you got, dthen the cloud spells, and if you want, a little cloud reactivation "cheating" or bug exploit if you like it that way.,

This past time I tested at every 5 levels to determine how well things go. It takes about level 65 to kill the beast 'easily'. About 75 to kill both 'easily'. At level 65, with batnecklaces, 2 of 6 people (all having a resistance of 90+) were effected by the Dazzling Lights, and never 'stoned' or 'dies' outright. Without the batnecklaces, they were 'stoned' and 'dies' regularly, so resistance to Light DOES help, but apparently only in the perfect levels between being useless and your KIA working....
