As a dark elven assassin, I found that I could poison, blind, and kill the Ancient Chaos Wyrm without being hit once (in melee...I nearly got blastamicated by those magic missiles of his). Here's the equipment I used...you can put it all together.

wand of poison (4 charges): 1 out of 3 charges poisoned him.
wand of acid (8 charges): works REALLY well, especially when I put a few fire daemons inbetween me and the ACW. Of course, one could always just use the Acid Bolt/Ball spells if one has them.
potion of blindness: I probably should have used this before the acid, because the ACW panicked after being drenched by the acid and nearly ran off on me.
ring of invisibility: helps a lot.

Add the Emerald Dagger with 100 Find Weakness and it was all too easy to chase it down and deliver the final blow. Now, the ACW will heal itself; just be persistant with the acid.

This is the best strategy I have for the ACW, so I thought I would share it for players who have a lot of trouble with it.

I like to get him trapped in a tunnel in between some fire elementals. If you're invisible the elementals won't see you, and they'll block off the ACW's escape and approach. Keep firing acid wands and the wyrm will fall before the elementals (which tend to shrug off bolts a lot).

potion of confusion works especially well for acw. Just lure it into a tunnel and throw one, preferably cursed, potion of confusion at it. It'll be confused for a long period of time.

I had potions of confusion, but I was afraid if I tried to shred it in melee after throwing the potion that the ACW would still have a chance of hitting me.
