The Dark One is the Wizard Quest nemesis, widely considered to be one of the easiest.

Strategy

The Dark One is not very difficult to kill. He usually carries the Eye of the Aethiopica and thus is magic resistant. Many newer players do not realize this and repeatedly cast spells like force bolt, which are ineffective.

Like most high-level teleporting monsters, the key is to fight The Dark One while you are standing on the upstair; this way he cannot escape from you when he gets hurt.

His level allows teleport, so you can sneak attack him, grab the Eye of the Aethiopica after he teleports to the upstair, bag it, and teleport near to the upstair to allow you to unload with spells such as magic missile. Bagging the Eye is required because if you don't, he'll immediately steal it right back.

The Dark One can be also killed simply by zapping him with wand of death.
