plis/spell absorption helps. resto pots/ scrolls... or hey, play a pm.
And yes, when one of your abilities hit 0, you can no longer fight nor cast spells (try playing Redfang the Unruled some time). I forget now if you can drink pots. I think you can't, so need to keep your con above 0 or your screwed.
Overall, thanks Thaz, some good points.
I thought incap meant you couldn't move, but I guess they changed it. technically a CON of zero should be death, but meh.
have been wearing a Jewelled Cloak and it does not seem to block the CON drain.

and just beat him down fast enough, and you'll be fine.
Sound advice, but it does beg the question - as opposed to what?
Who beats him down slow? Who doesn't take that boss down fast if you're soloing? I'm not bothering with the optionals as I'm not after XP and my Pally can ignore all the mobs except the Elder Quells.

Or again, play a pm. They're immune to the con damage.
Ummm.... as I said Pally 28. Not playing a PM.
Not planning to ETR into a PM just so I can do a few GOP runs.
And if I had an Epic PM I would consider using it, although it would be a slow old beatdown given most of your main spells are ineffective against him (Negative/Fire/Cold). You'd have go Shiradi and force spam him or switch to acid.
