Hello.I killed ALL monsters in Wiz 7 on hard level. Due my style of play nobody of my chars weren't dead or stoned during/after fight- never, nobody. Of course I reloaded alot. ALL hardest fights I win by melee. Actually sometimes I used magic, but not many of bosses felt bad due magic effects. So, if I could win fight with, say Lifesteal- I reloaded and meleed. I used Magic Screen, Enchanted Blade and so on. NEVER used Armormelt. NEVER summoned for hardest fights(though summoning Godzilla was fun
). Don't remember my party level- think it was pretty high.
My party was (toward end of game of course): Samurai with LS, Lord with Excalibur, Faerie Ninja with CoC and 3 monks with Zatoichi Bo's. ALL chars had ALL possible spells. ALL chars had maxed out ninjutsu, kiridjutsu- all could hide. ALL important skills maxed out too. I played through whole game on hard level. I tryed to meet hardest monsters for each fight for each specific spot to get more exp and to enjoy fights. Say if I should meet rattkin ronins- I reloaded until I met many of them and not rattkin hunters or even easier opponents.
Were alot of hard fights during game- even with not "named", but just regular monsters(due my style of play). Rattkin Ronins, Carnasauras, Demons and more... But hardest were named, with some exceptions of course. All hardest fights I got at high levels (relatevely)- so monsters had all powerful abilities.
Now about monsters (as I remember):
IMHO :
As I remember on hard level player meets 2 "Boss" monsters instead of one. For example I killed 2 Brombadegs. Not sure but exception maybe was Godzilla(maybe some 'named' too).
On easy and normal levels I think player could meet only Tirannasaur- easy version or Tirannasaur Rex for harder version. First hadn't KIA (or too rare) Rex had . Godzilla was hardest and rarest. Had KIA and very powerful hits. Very hard to kill. ALOT of HP.
Brombadeg(s) was(were) pretty easy- even high level one(s). Of course insanity cause problems.
High level Rodan Lewarx- very, very, very rare and pretty hard. He almost always was killed by somebody. Maybe hardest of "good" named. He liked to KIA alot.
Ke'Li with girls- pretty easy.
Rasputin, ""Named"" Orcogres, Umpanis, T'rangs- not too hard.
Named Munks, especially one brother- very hard at high levels.
Barlone with several razukas- very hard at high levels. Not so hard to kill, but hard to not let him run away with his little cane (it HAD TO BE MINE
)) ).
Named Danés - pretty hard - especially with low mental skill.
Giants- not too hard to kill, but nice to slice such big meat pieces
)).
All sorts of demons- pretty hard, not especially of course.
All bosses at final dungeon- very hard. Some of them VERY hard. Or even harder.(remember? no deaths or stoned conds.) At hard level pair instead of one.
Don't remember name- insects- just very hard to kill. Could be killed by KIA spell. Killed by meleeing after several ( many tryes). Alot of HP and nasty spells.
Fiend of Nine Worlds. Rat(s). At high levels hit for 99, 199 or 299. Poison(very powerful) and KIA alot. Alot of HP. Very, very hard to kill. I think I spent away quite some time to kill them. Several days(or maybe even many days).
Beast of 1000 eyes. Jelly fish. NASTY. Probably most HP. Their spells were crazy. Many times I wanted to stop trying to kill them. I remember one trying when only one almost dead (second was already dead) stoned me- just imagine what I told
)). Probably hardest among that dungeon bosses (I think Fiend of Nine Worlds not far or even tied as almost as hard). Called hardest in whole game by many people. Tryed to kill at least for one week, maybe more.
Not sure- don't remember other dungeon bosses- probably were easier than those above.
And, finally my favourite. Remember Harpy-like (woman-bird) creature in your dream in Munkarama? Same looking monster. Name was something like MyxlMynx. Had lower level instance I think. At high levels (and hard difficulty) were 2 of them. Very, very, very rare. Could meet instead of Godzilla. PAIN. My party was non-stop crazy. I healed, hit, got crazy. And of course she escaped. I could kill only one of 2- second ALWAYS escaped. Tryed for more than months (with breaks of course). Anybody killed 2 of them at high levels?
Bye.
Eugene.
