Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints
How do I help the lich Kangaxx?
1 of 9: He says he needs two parts of his body.
2 of 9: His arms and his torso.
3 of 9: His torso is found on a lich in the basement of a house in the Bridge District with a door trapped with disintegrate (DISARM IT FIRST!).
4 of 9: The second part is found in the crypts in the sewer area accessed from the Temple District.
5 of 9: Once you have both of the parts, bring them back to Kangaxx for your reward.
6 of 9: That is, a fight with possibly the toughest monster in the game, the Demi-Lich.
7 of 9: This is a VERY hard fight, and the only way I found to beat it was to stock up on Protection from Magic scrolls. You'll need them to guard yourself from the lich's deadly offensive spells (like Meteor Swarm). Also try using Breach on its defenses, then cast tons of spells at it.
8 of 9: Warriors have trouble with the lich, because it can only be hit by +4 weapons. The Daystar (sunblade) works well.
9 of 9: Once you beat him, you get the awesome ring of Gaxx, which gives you resistances and speedy regeneration.
