Not sure if this really belongs in the article, but it *is* possible to kill him permanently. He is not fire resistant and cannot fly, so if he somehow ends up in lava, he will die and be gone forever; it seems the cloud-respawn thing is analogous to leaving a corpse-if he can't leave one, he is permanently destroyed. Not that this really possible in a normal game, mind you; this was accomplished in wizard mode by wishing for figurines of him (obviously not allowed in any sort of normal game) and setting them in lava. He "burned to a crisp" every time. Unfortunately, since this isn't Dwarf Fortress, I don't think flooding his level with magma is really a viable option, but it is an interesting corner case.

I'd guess the usual Riders tricks should also work: Fill the level by reading the cursed Book of the Dead, kill the guy, and keep reading the book. At least some of the graveyard monsters are poison resistant. I don't know how viable this is in a real game, though. Tjr 02:18, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
