This is just ridiculous. I tried for several hours to kill Fergus before quitting the game in disgust. And I'm on the normal difficulty level ("Action" I believe it's called).
I tried:
* DK as a wizard shooting fireballs (or whatever they were), my char as a warrior with slashing skill.
* Vice versa.
* DK as a wizard shooting fireballs, my char using a bow.
* Vice versa.
* Both DK and my char pounding on him with knife and sword.
* Running away and dropping through the hole, resting then fighting again.
* Running away and closing the gate.
Every time I'm near killing him, he heals. Over, and over again. Though I've never managed to get him down more than 2 or 3 times in a row. It's ridiculous. The third human character I have to fight in the game is nearly impossible for my wimpy characters to beat. It's not any fun.
Apparently, I get to restart now and kill all of the rats and guards again, making sure I save every single health potion I come across. However, I think I only used one before this, and it likely won't matter since he seems to continually be able to heal himself once he's below half.
