here's something that I've noticed lately.

sufficiently trained, you can defeat a demon without much trouble.

high enough shield skill means that you can block when the demon breathes fire on you.  but i don't seem to be able to block "the ball of flames" attack, nor have very much luck dodging it.  does this match up with what you've experienced?

[Yaaga]

Most unmodded adventurers will get hell from a demon unless well trained (Legendary in their weapon, fast, lengendary shield using, probably want quality gear too)
A moded race of say...  six armed, winged, flying dwarves made out of adamantine, totally different story.

[bamorrow]

Right.  I'm asking about experiences regarding the fire breath being blockable and the "ball of flames" not being blockable.

[Yaaga]

Same basic principle. If you're skilled in shield using you can block that, I've done it with unmodded adventurers (Not a garuntee though, but legendary +5 with a masterwork steel shield'll block those fireballs easy most likely). Not sure with a normal adventurer but my adamantine dwarves block bursts of DRAGONFIRE for pete's sake, so I think a little blob of fire isn't all too deadly.

[Vucar Fikodastesh]

I'm quite sure that dragonfire is blockable but fireballs are not.

[mitternacht]

Like dragons, the demons are also only immune to the fire they personally generate, so you could kill a demon with a bush fire or as a few ppl have reported, they can get lit on fire by corpses they ignited with fireballs (so even when you die you can still end up causing the demon's death )

have it hack off one of your burning limbs then throw that at it. it will totally work. it fixes the problem of your limb being on fire at the same time.

Edit: Disregard this.

Also, make sure you set your combat preferences to dodge, unless you are next to a cliff or pool.

With high agility and wrestling skill it increases your survival rate by a lot. (Wrestling skill affects dodge)

Throw a seed at it. I once embarked with a few thousand seeds once to pick up with my adventurer for ammo. I went into a goblin fort and planted dimple cups in all the goblins and demons.

Its like some kinda nightmarish mockery of Johnny Appleseed or sumthin....

[Neonivek]

Actually the best thing to throw at demons is arrows.

Oddly your Dwarves' arms are capable of hurling arrows at the exact same strength as bows and crossbows

That was how I beat my first Demon even though I wasn't anywhere close to legendary.

[Emperor Iones]

Arrows are made for stabbing.
This is a stack of 25 *Adamantine bolts*. It is currently covered with (every blood known to dorfkind)
It's like an entire squad of markdwarves firing point blank into your poor victim.
