Black Dragons don't do so well on impossible no-loss - they'll survive the first few rounds of his mass-attack, but it's really hard to kill him before he does enough mass attacks to kill at least one black dragon. And you can't heal or resurrect blacks, so there goes no-loss.

god tip there..but i have like over 100 of them in the lair on montero thats why i could sacrifice somei think the boss had time for like 2 mass attack then he was dead..a bit to easy and i was lvl 44 ..and for no loss i dont think im gonna ever try that..my patience wouuld run out at the end To much to plan

I'm going for no loss (hard) and ran into Zilgadis after I've killed everything but K'tahu (so no more levels to gain). I tried mostly dragons which had carried me so far but the mass attack was killing me. I tried archers but that was a joke. I went to undead with a paladin, vamp, anc vamp, death knights, and curesed ghosts. What I found was he doesn't use his mass attack as long as you don't attack his center head section. Seems really consistent. I fought the battle a good ten times because I kept screwing up my back in time spell timing or hitting my paladin's res ability with death knights right next to him. I'm not sure if Zil's ability pattern is the same for each army but there is definitly a pattern that can be used for avoiding the mass attacks.

use shamans if you are using black dragons

their totems and the axes ability heal the black dragons

I beat Zilgadis on hard, with no losses. My army? A single stack of Dryads, with like 95% magic resistance.

As a mage, phantomed out hordes of Dryads, which would summon thorns (Summoner 3 btw). THorns summon more thorns... thorns are ALSO 95% magic resistant. Melee thorns take down towers, range thorns shoot zilgadis. Phantomed Dryads also attack zilgadis after they have summoned.

Occasional Calm rage to generate mana. Resurrected the few dryads I'd lost at end of fight. No problem.

I was playing a 'level 1 to 3 units only' game, by the way.

How'd you crank up magic resistance that much? I assume you have the Crown of chaos, among other things?

[N3MES1S]

95% magic resistance?? is that even possible?
