Killing Demons

Endoperez · #1 October 5th, 2007, 05:28 PM

Demons generally have good magic resistance, so banishment isn't usually enough to kill the demons - if they've been massed.

There are some Water spells that are very good against demons/undead. Cleansinh Water at Evoc 7 or so is one.

For what its worth, marignon has a national holyfire spell that does extra damage to demons, and there is an artifact called the bell of cleansing that zaps a demon every turn.

Herald lances, flambeaus, demon banes, cleansing water, banishment, smite demon, apotropaic sword, apotropaic trident, and a few special sites, all have effects that kill demons.

I always wondered how useful the flambeau is against demons, given that they're fire-immune...

Only some demons are fire-immune, plus what EDI says below.

Flambeau does not do fire damage, it does 3x damage against demons and undead + the fire effect. Fire resistance on demons only protects against the extra fire, they take 3x damage from the normal blow, meaning 3x(str+weapon damage) and that's going to hurt.

> apotropaic sword, apotropaic trident,

What are these? Where did you get them?

For Kailasa, I believe.

Thanks a lot!

Even with the anti-demon measures, demons, properly used, are incredibly dangerous.
