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.

Gate 3. Stand of the button just south east of the trees by the east stairs.
Gate 4. Stand on the button in the north west corner area, south east of the boulder.
Gate 5. Stand on the circled button in the southwest of the map.
Gate 6. Stand on the button that is just west of the gates.
Gate 7. Stand on the circled button southwest of the map.
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.

Stand on the button in the west room, this should lower the gates of the east room.
Stand on the button in the east room, this should lower the gates of the north room.
Stand on the button in the north room, this should lower the gates of the south room.
Stand on the button in the south room, this should lower the gates of the centre room.
Pull the lever in the centre room to open the gates to the next map.
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.
