I have a new least favorite monster. SHADOW FIENDS. I hate those even more than vampires. They are immune to every single damage type, can paralyze, have physical damage resistance, and show up (in the Windspear Hills dungeon, at least) in packs of four.
also, flaming skulls and burning men.. flaming skulls for their annoying movement rate and burning men for their 'keening' ability. what is that, anyway?
You can only hit them with magical blunt weapons. They cause slow on every hit, and can usually haste themselves instantly. They have ridiculous magic resistance. AND, as if that weren't enough, THEY HIT LIKE FLIPPIN' TRUCKS!
People brush them off because Crom Faeyr is a thing that exists. What people forget is how stupidly long it takes to make the darn thing! By the time you've got the ultimate answer to golems, you've already cleared out most of the game, and coincidentally, MOST OF THE GOLEMS.
Now, once you waltz over to Throne of Bhaal with Crom Faeyr in-hand, any golem-fight you come across is gonna be a walk in the park. I'll grant you that.
But in Shadows of Amn... SHADOWS OF FLIPPIN' AMN. Ugh, they are a nightmare every time.
Adamantite Golems are both my least favorite and most favorite golem (how's that possible?) Least because they have RIDICULOUS physical damage resistance ("Valygar did 2 damage to Adamantite Golem?" Really?) and do a lot of damage. Most because they have earned my respect.

In a recent solo run, I killed the two Adamantine Golems in the Windspear complex by getting them trapped in doorways and then raining arrows on them with Tansheron's Bow... I was literally doing 1 damage/hit... So I went and made a cup of tea... Or two.

I just have anyone with +3 or better weapons go in and attack them, which is pretty much my strategy for every single battle- go in and kill everything that is attacking me.

Sometimes they can sneak past you when your not looking... And that xp is lost forever...
Free as the wind blows...
