Thanks to Raze and sheer persistance I was able to finish the end battle which was nothing short of nearly impossible. What I used were a combination of mana savers, life leeches, and a devastating whirlwind attack. The key to remember is you need at least 1 point of hide in shadows and a powerful creature. What you do is go invisible at the start and hide away from everyone. They will lose interest and just stand around. Wait until you can go invisible again and summon your creature and load up on defensiive potions/shield skill. Sneak up to the paladins and take them out one at a time and go hide again with invisibility. SAVE AFTER EVERY KILL!!! Keep doing this with your creature and surprise attack and you will end up with Zandalor and Lucian. Corner Lucian and your creature should target him too. Keep at him and don't let up. He will perish eventually. Do same for Zandalor hide/power-up/summon creature/etc. Keep at Zandalor and he too will fall. I did this run and gun style on the low setting as I did not dare try medium as the fight was brutal but it can be accomplished. My question to you folks is would it have made a big difference on the medium setting, and did I really beat the game being only on low? I feel I did. I enjoyed this game immensely and am waiting for the expansion. Good hunting gamers.
