bATTLE WITH oRCUS? Options

[ROAHDEA]

fOR A life of mine i cannot win this battle. My party is around 24 level (each member party) and consist of vagrant protagonist, jaheira-sc to cleric ranger, valygar, cernd-auramaster, nalia mage (sc to sp mage conjurer), minsc (sc to berserker)


SPOILER!

Almost in second after his speach , Orcus starts to conjure /or gate (?) /or it is some kind of innate ability?-vampire brides, skeleton grandlords (about ten of them if i counted right), skeleton lords, master vampires (around 6 of them I think, and vampire brides and skeleton lord keep coming and coming constantly).. Entire aeria is thus filled with enemies and my computer cannot handle that (chopiness), nor can I , even if computer did not started to freeze.. How did you manage to even fight with them? i mean entire aera is literally filled with high level enemies ang they keep coming, i cannot reach orcus



PS. what I meant about that" I cannot reach Orcus" is that that he is constatly souranded by his summoned/gated creatures, although I killed a good number of them they just keep comming, I mean I thin in one momentg ther was , I don t know, abot 30-40 high level creatures (granlords, brides, lords, master vampires ), immune to death spell (so i guess they are gated or something like that, something like elemental golems and trheir coin and gem golems

Here are some hints. I hope they will help:

SPOILER!

1- Concentrate on Skeleton Grandlords first. But whenever a vampire approaches your characters, kill her quickly and then shift to the Skeleton Grandlords again.

2- Use the most poweful summoned creatures you have access to, such as:
- Nobel Spider (have you forged the item?)
- Greater Djinni (have you forged the item?)
- Greater Swanmays (if your protagonist was only one level higher (lvl 25), you could call for Swanmay Queen's help who is a very powerful ally)
- Planetars
- Even Mordenkainen Swords and Montain Bears can help to distract Skeleton Grandlords and absorb their attacks.

3- Have your cleric memorize as many "Greater Restoration" spells as possible. Your cleric is multi-class, she may be able to memorize few 7th level spells though.

4- Use "Hardiness" and potions of "Barbarian Essence" if you have. You need to survive their attacks.

In general, which powerful items have you forged so far? You should make the best possible use of them.
