Polymorpshing my quest boss

so I am at the archiologist quest and I was attempting to polymorph my boss enemy the minion I am polymorphed as a genetic engineer obviously yet I can not polymorph him. Is it something special about quest bosses? Also just as a aside is it possible to convert to in side the quest? There are obviously altars of all three alignments in the achieolgist quest. If I converted to Chaos how would that affect my the Quest? I am assuming nothing. Ndwolfwood 23:14, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

He's carrying the Orb of Detection, which gives magic resistance. Your only chance now is to polymorph into a foocubus (or any monster with a theft attack; I think they have the highest base level however), steal the item from him, and place it into a container so he can't steal it back. Then polymorph into a genetic engineer, and you should be able to tame him. -- Qazmlpok 00:28, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I thought it didn't matter with the genetic enjineer attack since it works on riders who have 100% resistance. Okay thanks for clearing that upNdwolfwood 01:22, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
