-For Drow Nobles, A'gone is always imprisoned within one of the cells on the edge of the Drow Noble quest's goal level, with unbreakable [[iron bars]] blocking off access.
+A'gone is not a valid polymorph form or genocide target, like other "proper" [[quest nemeses]].
 ==Strategy==
-As the [[umber hulk]]s around the level cannot dig into the cells, characters will need a [[force bolt]] spell or a [[wand of striking]] to break the iron bars of A'gone's cell; this may be best to do after disposing of the elder brain guarding the [[Bell of Opening]]. A'gone herself is not only mindless, but completely harmless as well&mdash;her sole "attack" in the code is a 0d0 [[grabbing attack]] which cannot be used, and her only defenses are her 60 [[magic resistance (monster)|MR]] and [[sleep resistance]]. Once the more pressing threats are dealt with, there is little else to do beyond quickly putting A'gone out of her misery and retrieving the artifact.
