Yeah, I didn't realize that option either when I was about to fight him, only later, and then went back to the saved game and found it works like charm. But then again, I would have deprived myself of this glorious battle and turned it into just another hack fest.

For me Keldorn did the trick, his special abilities and Carsomyr doing the majority of work. This is what I really liked about BG2 - the epic battles with liches and similar powerful wizards. You really needed to think how to bring their defenses down before you can do any damage (and before everybody's dead as well). Also, fighting other parties like you own - not just droves of identical monsters, but adventurers who are at the same level as you, and can hurt you as much as you can hurt them. Unlike many other RPGs where the only issue is can you survive long enough to kill the neverending hordes that are being thrown at you, or where you get artificially weakened before the slugfest, these battles required a lot of planning and tactics, and that's what I call a healthy challenge.
