The time had come in my game to face K'Tahu. I am playing a mage on impossible and trying to do a quick run. I am currently on day 6, so it will probably be a 8 days game... Anyhow, my level is only 47 and I wanted to visit Reha only once. I tried a couple of times with my standard setup (Paladins, Inquisitors, Archmages, Trolls and Emerald Green Dragons). Unfortunately I have not found a single resistance item in the game so far. Thus in the first round I lost 50% of my Inquisitors, Archmages and Emerald Green Dragons. The Trolls and Paladins lost much fewer units due to their higher resistance. But eventually I had to give up. I could not keep up with K'Tahu's summoning and had to come up with an alternative approach.
A scroll of Call of Death saved the situation. I summoned up 158 Black Knights and attacked K'Tahu with a single stack cosisting of these 158 Black Knights. By using Stone Skin, Avenging Angel, Magic Spring, Geyser, and of course Eviln, I was able to pull it off. My int was 65 so my damaging spells did a lot of damage - Geyser did almost 10k (I have not found Death Star yet). When K'Tahu died I had only 8 Black Knights left. Three Evilns later I had ressurected all of them. What made this possible was that in the beginning K'Tahu does not seem to summon Gorguanas. I tried not to kill his summoned units so he only summoned units 3 times in the battle, and the Gorguanas never showed up. The double damage that Gorguanas cause was to much even for the Black Knights.
So, I guess I can only agree on what has been said earlier: The Black Knight is a panic button, that can be used if everything else fails. Notice that I did not have a single undead item and still managed to pull it off, while with my original setup I did not have a chance at all.
