1 Boss and 57 monsters against you, who is going to die?

I once had a warroir with brimstone armor and an elastic sword. I stood in a room full of burning traps and used a scroll of rage. When the monsters came running I just kept snapping them onto the traps. Quite amusing too.

I also get a good laugh when the leaping demons jump into pits, killing themselves. Or, Ratmogrifying an Evil Eye as it hovers over a pit. Did you know that rats can't fly?

Another method I like to use is throwing a Stone of Aggression at the King after he has summond his minion's and just let them attack him.

An upgraded wand of lightning is another effective tactic.

That is what I love about these games, figuring out HOW to beat it. It isn't just about hack-n-slash.

I don't have a means to test the effectiveness of the armor on the Ghost in FIMA, but it appears to work well.

I eventually provided her plate armor and a war hammer, using her as a shield. pity she can't use rings

I simply see it as a stradegy to winning. Of course, it means getting the Rose and enough petals to be of use.
