Getting to the Polyphemus
First map
Generally, need at least two people for this map.
It is possible to do it solo if you summon an arch shoggolich or a kalidemon. But you might need to use create earth wall to stop your summon from moving and really fast movement speed to make this work.
Pull all the levers to the right. This should lower gates 1, 2, 8, 9, and 10.
Second map
This map is soloable. Damage a kalidemon until it runs from you and use it to push the buttons for you.
Order is west room, east room, north room, south room and finally a lever centre room.
Third map
Simple maze, kill everything and progress to the next map.
Strategy
Melee Strategy
Use the highest WC smash, cut, or stab damage weapon you have.
Other elemental weapons with high WC might do well, since it seems Polyphemus has more melee resistance than elemental resistance.
Aim to get as much smash resistance and AC as possible.
Don't forget about Death Resistance: Amulet of Death Protection works nicely on this boss.
Mage Strategy
Stay out of earthquake's range, it does a large amount of smash damage.
Use dragon breath or thunderstorm.
Poison might do better but will probably end up doing little if any damage since players overwrite each other's poison.
Archer Strategy
Stay out of earthquake's range, it does a large amount of smash damage.
