Most of us have been there, and we all have our own way of getting in to those damn towers. Lately I realized that running in and chopping zombies up ain't a good idea, the damn necromancer just brings them back over and over. I think I have found an easy way in that levels your weapon skill pretty damn quick.

Step 1: Find the tower.
Step 2: Grab as many pebbles as you can (I managed this with silty clay)
Step 3: Walk in and draw out the hordes and the necromancer.
Step 4: Whilst keeping a respectable distance, throw whatever at the necromancer
Step 5: After awhile, you should get a lucky hit in. (I shattered his left hand)
Step 6: If he collapses in pain or whatnot, lure the horde away from the immobilized necro.
Step 7: Double back on the horde and maul the necro freely.
Step 8: Now you can easily dispatch the horde.
Step 9: ??
Step 10: Profit.

This is good and all, until you realize that most towers have 2-20 necros.

Yup. Though hey, You'll come out of it with shiteloads of throwing skill ;P

The answer for most big challenges in the game (except Bronze Colossus - unless you have a Steel SOMETHING to throw at it), is THROW STUFF UNTIL IT DIES (or fall on the ground).

Some Demons and Titans, that's the best approach.
Demons is a very basic thing, to hurt it enough so he falls on the ground.
My char is very, very superhuman, and legendary armor/shield/dodge (had to do some save scumming, but I don't have all the time in the world nowadays, and I want to see how a true superhuman is), yet can be killed rather quickly by a Demon (my char has full iron armor, also).

So, I agree on the throwing tactic. Even if there are many necros, you just keep throwing stuff at them, and go 1 floor at a time (at least the 2 towers I explored, had hatches between floors..which means the other necros didn't come after me until I climbed up).

I just brained the head necromancer with the secrets of life & death.

Zombies go down best vs. whips (best material for whips is silver). Just FYI. It's like a 1-hit chipped bone thing, doesn't make any sense but that's how it is.
