Tips & Tricks

  • His Fire Storm is quite painful and his sword lets him treat your fire resistance as being one rank lower. Maxing out your experience level and Fighting skill, rF+++, Abjuration, and Haste/berserk are all highly recommended. Frail characters may need to avoid this fight entirely, as a hasted Cerebov can easily kill you in a single turn if you're unprepared.
    • If you are a caster and really want to kill him, you will need some means of recharging MP fast (potions of magic, channeling, or a crystal ball of energy). Your goal is to hurt him, run out of sight, recharge mana before he can regenerate, and repeat.
  • If possible, clear out the balrugs and brimstone fiends before engaging him. Getting hit by multiple smites in a single turn can make an already dangerous fight suicidal.
  • In at least one version of his floor, the seven small square structures around his "castle" are not merely decoration; if breached (via teleport control or Lee's Rapid Deconstruction/Shatter), a nice pile of treasure awaits. Monsters may spawn inside, however.
