weapon to kill zuggtomy (spelling?)

i've noticed when i send the posse to get zuggtomoy, that certain weapons barely touch the evil goddess.certain weapons usually spank her:
frost band
holy weapons
scather
etc.

my driud in the last battle had a long spear with maxed out and fireblade.

occassionally hte damage made it to 1 point.

what is the damage deduction the evil goddess gets and why do certain weapons not make the "cut"?

 

Well, she's the goddess of fungi, which is plantlike, so probably Slashing weapons do more damage.

 

Those are the best option.
When having problems with damage reduction, open the combat window, and click the damage you made...
For example, you hit Zuggy for 1 damage point, open the combat window, it will say something like "Zuggtmoy takes 1 damage!" then click the 1 damageand you'll see why..
Clearer?

 

I didn't realize i could analyze the damage via a window. I'm on that.
the weapon that petered out against zuggy was a longspear. so maybe that is why it's damage was reduced.

makes sense.

i've noted some other swords that were not +3 or higher do minimal damage as well. probably she needs +3 or higher.

anywho, i'll check out the damage window, thingy.

thanx

 

Yeah windmill- lancer type jousting crusader guy -

let me know what you dig up..

I thought damage resistance was a bit odd in 3.5 myself; but didn't realize a +3 vs a +2 would make any difference - are they?

i would imagine ol Zutt has resistance / holy - which it sounds like from the previous posters...

 

a lawful good weapon of any type will hurt her, if its magic then even better.

 

Also any cold attacks will pass, so a spear with Ice or Ice burst will do cold damage even if the weapon damage is reduced.

Just finished the game again a week back or so, remember that holy and cold was about the only two ways I could damage her.

 

which version of her do we currently have in 5.04? Sorry, I always forget whether it's the slightly nerfed one or the evil critter which some sick modder had me trying to kill for weeks... :Crazy_Tig

 

The super-duper, really tough one.

 

yah, this mod is really, deally, super duper hard to kill the gods.

Instead of schemeing a way to kill iuz, i'm just hoping my guy will survive until Cuthbert arrives.

though i still like picking the dialogue about wiping the floor with him.

balls

 

Are they so hard?
Great!
I remember to beat Iuz and Hedrack just with my fighter and a Frost Brand (wich also beat the heck of Zuggy and one of the demons), but it was in Vanilla ToEE...to be honest, i didn't finished any of the Co8 ToEEFe...

 

i schemed for a long time to kill this incarnation of iuz, what you need to do is use a tankish buffed martial character with fragarach, craft a wand of stoneskin, cast stoneskin on your fragarach wielder a ridiculous amount of times, and full attack iuz and tank his attacks so you can get enough fragarach AoO's to kill him before the rounds are over.

 

Not anymore, Iuz is a god on steroids. his meat cleaver from hell hits critical everytime.

I didn't realize stoneskin stacks.

even so, you need several tanks to hit him (possible if you steal fragrach and get scather as well).

even two tanks stoneskinned up with a periput of healing will still just piss him off.

he doesn't have anything good anyway. he's just harder/near impossible to kill now.

 

i was meaning that i killed the new iuz with this strategy. i used one lvl 20 tank with fragarach, enlarge person, righteous might, divine favor, divine power, with +6 str and con items, and a silly amount of stoneskin.

you have to deal about 720 or so damage in 4 rounds, with 4 full attacks per round just from you, averaging about 25 damage that is 400 damage just from you, and then a possible 900+ damage from AoO's if iuz's attacks all hit.

maybe mine didnt update right though, because he was using a big sword and his fist on his off hand, not a great cleaver, though he did frequently crit with it for 60 damage on average.

i think your idea of 2 tanks with fragarach and scather could still work though, try the wand of stoneskin thing out. if they still get torn to shreds maybe you could try continually healing and continually casting stoneskin on them.
