How did YOU destroy Kangaxx?

Starter players have serious problems when fighting Kangaxx, even after several attempts.
I don't ask here for solutions, since we all know there are *several* (for those who don't know any and are interested, this thread will be useful then)
To each his own, so I am interested in the way you ceased the existence of the (demi-)lich.

I had Jaheira in my party who could summon Elementals (she was higher level than the party average), and my protagonist could cast the spell 'Immunity: Abjuration'. All other party members were too weak to do anything (too low level), especially against the demilich form (too high THAC0 of warriors, e.g. Minsc hadn't got even proper weapon; all spells were obviously ineffective on Kangaxx). I didn't have enough Spell Immunity: Abjuration spells (its duration is short), so if I remember correctly, I simply used Protection from Magic on Minsc before the battle. When Kangaxx transforms into its demi-lich form (the battle wasn't hard at all until this point), it starts using Imprisonment almost constantly. It was ineffective on Minsc (protection from magic was still on from the beginning of the battle), and meanwhile Jaheira summoned a few elementals, I think she could summon only two; Air Elementals preferably.
Now comes the best part: the Air Elemental was doing damage to Kangaxx (I had the elemental attack the lich from the back), but Kangaxx did NOT turn back to imprison the Elemental (unlike it does with characters). Perhaps it imprisoned one of the elementals but then Jaheira summoned another one which killed Kangaxx.

To sum up, Kangaxx can be beated with a low-level party easily if you have a Protection from Magic Scroll and can summon some elementals.

well, let's see... my most memorable was the fighter/mage going in with immunity:abjuration, everyone else huddling for dear life against the wall, except, I think, Jaheira with the sling of Evarard. F/M tried daystar, only to find it insufficient in the dweomer department, had to switch to a backup, I think Cutthroat, the dagger. And IIRC, Kangaxx only has 9 imprisons. Then he switches to something else.

I can't recall trying him with less than about 13th level, though.

Hrm, looking at the original Kangaxx, I see we get DEMILICH_DEATH (with the wait 3 after) and DEMILICH_TRAP_SOUL (every 60 ticks, or once a turn). I've got someone's modded version, which actually tries to get him to attack further away party members, and ends up giving prefeerence to the furthest away (because the script writer was not aware of the fact that searching for a NthNearestEnemyOf() will always return the furthest if the number of enemies is less than N).

Kangaxx is not tough, if you are expecting him. I recall my first meeting with him, watching my whole party go away... and then my PC popped upstairs to wonder what the heck he was going to do. And realized I had just over-written my auto-save.
