a slow, but creative and very satisfying way of killing baddies. you don't need to melee them to death though, just pile up backpacks, used-up wands of fireballs, striking and lightning next to them when they're trapped, then zap a fireball at them.

There is a great way to get of all of Petrus' gear without even laying a finger on him. And he'll still like you until the very end! First kill Ischaldirth. Next bring Ischie's corpse back to new Attnam. Resurrect him. He'll immediately teleport away and starting raining hell on everyone. After the walls all come down Petrus will venture out and try to catch Ishie but mostly just stand around doing nothing. Surround Petrus with Valurium Bear traps. Keep repeating until only limb is left. Set up the final trap. Petrus will twist his head off trying to get out. Notice that he still "likes you." Now you get his +16 sword, left nut, and everything else for free! Finally, kill Ischie again or let him kill the rest of New Attnam. I ventured upon this technique by accident. I had accidentally killed Ischie "whole" (not severing any limbs). Since I just wanted his head so I could turn it into a diamond, I revived him in town.

Turn his head into a diamond ? What do you mean?

Now that is an excellent method, killing and resurrecting Izzy. Only thing is he's a bitch to kill in the first place.

someone find that "how to kill Izzy" thread!

RE: "turn head into diamond" What I meant was changing his head from flesh into diamond. I'm setting up a "Named Baddie Trophy Collection." Ishie isn't so bad once you get the hang of using teleport and dual golden eagle feather whips of thieving +10. I'm usually able to make most other monsters go to sleep with my whips (for some reason), but not Ishie. The weired thing about Ish is that even if you strip him of all his gear when he dies, he spawns a brand new set when you resurrect him! After mauling Oree in about 3 hits I've gotten a bit bored with the game, so now I'm gonna entertain myself by retrieving all the corpses of the named baddies next time I play and resurrecting them all in New Attnam. When you get right down to it, the baddies are what makes the game fun.

Err, I think you're bored because you abuse your stats, and most likely use artificial limbs, try it WITHOUT stat abuse, and WITHOUT any fake (Not human flesh) limbs

I resurrected Oree the other day to kill him again for his head. Ended up killing him twice without decapitating him. I finally got his head, but only after severing all other limbs. Then I tried resurrecting him again just for the hell of it. The response was "Oree's headless corpse shakes violently and then is still again." Freaking hysterical! Anyhow, I now have an Oree bust to go with my Sherix bust.

if you want to resurrect Oree, clone the head and put one on the pile of Oree's limbs.

Too bad you can't put an orc head on a Oree torso. Oree: (Speaking through orc head) What have you done to me?!

Whoa, that would be crazy! I think you CAN do that with a zombie, but that doesn't leave a funnier mental image, or, better yet, for Oree, a kobold head!

when browsing death details... Oree, killed by extreme self-image loss
