Black Pits 2 solo with a fighter

I tried to get thought the Black Pits 2 with my favourite half-elf fighter character. On three occasions I used a joinable NPC. The first one was just as a test and got Voghlin killed. The other two occasions were really necessary.
Hort Il-D'rth for the demi-lich brothers and that crazy woman with the talking furniture to battle the Bhaal worshippers. You really have to let the Bhaal guys attack someone long enough before the go invisible again, so you can whirlwind them.
The final battle with Dennaton's team was after the Ravanger battle and was just plain impossible, because
by getting Voghlin killed, my fighter couldn't poison Joker. Solo, the reversal scroll is of no use.
and also because it's just too damn hard
I took my fighter through the whole SoA and Watcher's Keep multiple times. He is a dual wielding level 40 nightmare with a magic resistance of 65 and strength of 24. Those stats really helped!
As for tactics, the game looked like the gladiator scene in Monty Python's 'The Holy Grail'. I basically ran out everybody's magic protections and womped the opposition to kingdom come.
Strategy:
He bought oil of speed, invisibility, magic protection and resistance and as much healing potions as his bladder could hold. Two rings of regeneration, Helm of Valinor, the minotaur statue (for those demi-liches), boots of speed, the Silver Sword and other goodies to help him. And of course the good old reload.
The Silver sword killed the dragon on the first hit, yay!
The experiment was worth my time!

Sadly, there is no tactics I can give against the Planar Hunters. If they come one by one you can defeat them easily. However they are just too much all at once. Even a highly tweaked party needs to fight tooth and nail to survive. I love that fight. Pinnacle of epic party vs party play.
Yeah, there could have been more options to weaken them. There are plenty of loose ends with potential.
Like the feather. Its description says that it could be used for a potion. Also it's a pity you cannot exploit the hatred between Pol and Kun
Also, does anyone know how to enter the quarters of Dennaton?
I can go to the rooms of Dennaton's minions and force the locks, but I can't get into his private quarters (those next to the long corridor). With a previous run and a mage in my party, even the knock spell was useless. Perhaps I'll try a thief next time.
