I almost always kill her, because i like the many levels you get, as well as a big pile of loot.
The way i do it is thus:
Equipment: some form of waterbreathing, wand of poison, potions of poison, big highly damaging weapon (pref wyrmlance) and two big shields, (and also slow monster, boots of slowness, armour of sloth, strained and bloated for extra exp)

Now first and foremost, talk to her, go and tell blup, return to lair and talk to her again, now youll get the Runed Trident even after youve killed her (yay)

1: Stand here, drop a gold piece, then equip your two shields, poison your weapons and cast darkness, then pick up your gold piece

2: the dragon should appear between you and the wall, so zap your poison wand as much as you can, plus any big spells that you know (acid ball?)

3: Equip your mighty weapon and flail in darkness till you hit her, when youve got her seriously/critically wounded, then slow monster yourself, as well as any other slowing means and finish her off

4: be careful!, if you box her in like this,
          #.#
      #####.####
      #D@......#
      ##########


then even with darkness she'll go hard and smash you, try and keep her away from the wall.

Bring along some blessed potions of Extra Healing and so on as well.

Using this strategy ive killed her with level 18 barbarians (handy dandy vanquisher and tremendous blow) and gone to around level 30.

Any way, this is a big post, and you've all probally got your own strategys to killing her, just thought i'd share mine.

potions of blindness and dragon slayeing ammo is safer.

what you do, if she teleportd being critical hurt?
that happened to me too many times.
so i at least would zap wands of paralyzation too.

edit: you don't need to kill her for robbing lair
darkness +control teleportion does miracles

The big problem with taking her on is the chance that she goes berserk and kills you, even in darkness. I've had this happen to two promising (though foolish) characters. If you have a reliable way of doing high damage then great, but otherwise trying to chip her down is bound to lead to disaster, especially if you're slowed. In addition to your tactic I'd say as a safety measure you should always darken the stairs and have teleportation available in case you need a quick escape.

Soirana: Dragon-slaying ammo is rare, and more importantly can't be fired in the dark.

Darren Grey:
i never said - i kill her in dark ith ammo. i kill her being after blinding.

in general she rarely goes berserk in to character if not cornered.

so most often it is hiting her in dark(wyrmlance, poisoned weapons of penetration preferably in true berserk with amulet of water breathing and cuople of rings of slaying), followed by light via spell, crystal, then scroll/wand of monster detection, controlled teleportion about 3 squares to her, then potion of blindness then dragon slaying ammo.
since i prefer to do this before unicorn quests i usually have all required rustproof equipment.

and i still think it is safer to loot without killing her.

hey, I have a lvl 16 trollish barbarian with invisibilty, vanquisher, two eternium tower shields, eternium plate mails, speed of 196 and dv 32 and pv 38 on normal with vanquisher. Should I attempt to kill her or not? I have a feeling that since I have all this awesome stuff and stats that the RNG will use this opporutunity against me. What do you guys think?I'd hate to lose this char, but I've noticed in her hoard that she has 3 artifacts....

level 16? dont do it. no matter how tough you think you are, she can still kill you easily. btw, what's your hp? her water breath attack makes a LOT of damage.

if you have controlled teleportation (from wands and scrolls since you're a barbarian) and an easy source of darkness, make the stairs and the area around everything you want to pick up dark. then pick up your items (teleport from one place to another, don't go in the light), teleport to the stairs and get out of there as fast as possible.

YES! I killed her by reading a scroll of darkness, then using my tremoundous triple hit on berserk and I killed her with two of those.I made a ton of cash by selling her stash. Now what should I do next? I have the fire orb so I where do I go next?I also found two rings of djinni summoning in her stash...

Go finish the game. If you havent yet, wish for amulet of life saving and save Khelevaster. Then just kill all the temple guardians.

Get the ring of the high kings too (need cold wand)

Casino should hold nice stuff.

Beware of cat lord if you've killed cats, he could be your toughest fight.
