Yulgash is usually a piece of cake but sometimes this guy really pushes the limit. My last char that encountered him died. After one missile hit him he summoned molochs, fire giant kings, black wizards and berserk emperors, all within a few turns. It was actually the black wizards that ultimately killed me their summons did a very fast job trapping me and trying to hit my way out the weak monsters got exchanged by their stronger counterparts. Has he ever been this pain in the ass for you anytime? Si vis pacem, para bellum |

Since my first missile is potion blindness... No, never. |

Never encountered Yulgash without potion of blindness? Seem to happen me 50% of the time that I don't have potion of blindness. Si vis pacem, para bellum |

Wow, you really do stuff like that? I just whack away. Any char which gets to Yulgash should kill him or he's to weak to continue... A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

I second any form of whacking. |

The wacking away works until you loose that really promising char because he summons ancient karmic wyrms or something similiar in masses. Si vis pacem, para bellum |

I always use spells. Wands of acid take him down very quickly. I've never seen him summon anything dangerous. Air temple has always been the easieset of the 5 for me (water temple's normally fine too, but the Snake can be difficult in melee if you don't employ darkness). Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

I think that the last time I had trouble from Yulgash, was way back in gamma 15. I made the mistake of trying to fight him while being cursed and doomed. He summoned ancient karmic wyrms, and I had no source of invisibility. I thought that because I was curse/doomed already, that I should just take the whacking approach. PC died very quickly. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

I think yulgash is one of those things in the game that 99 out of 100 times is really easy, but then all of a sudden he becomes insane. Si vis pacem, para bellum |

I just killed him yesterday. The worst thing he summoned were acid vortices, and I let him live for quite a while (I needed the XP). Most of the time he's a soft sucker, but every now and then he gets lucky and summons something scary. You pick up the worn boots. |

[quote]He summoned ancient karmic wyrms, and I had no source of invisibility.[/quote] Unless I'm mistaken, Ancient Karmic Wyrms can see invisible anyway. Redundancy is good. And also good. |

According to the guidebook, AKW's see invisible quite easily. The only problem with that, is that they don't. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

Isn't ancient karmic wyrm unique (that BDC quest giver) ? Or do I remember it all wrong. Perhaps that was great karmic wyrms or ancient karmic dragons. Sytytä toiselle tuli ja hän pysyy lämpimänä jonkin aikaa. Sytytä hänet palamaan ja hän pysyy lämpimänä loppuelämänsä. |

> Isn't ancient karmic wyrm unique (that BDC quest > giver) ? Or do I remember it all wrong AKW is unique, but is wishable. I am not 100% sure, but I do think it was AKW's that Yulgash summoned. As I mentioned though: > the last time I had trouble from Yulgash, > was way back in gamma 15 Memories (especially mine!) are prone to error. It may have been GKW's instead of AKW's, but no 'karmic' flavor of dragon/wyrm can see invis. The guidbook should really be updated to reflect this. It is one thing to have no information on something, but another thing entirely to keep showing wrong information. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |
