Doubt about Book 12 (The Masters of Darkness) (Spoiler)

[kinai]

(Spoiler for the end of Book 12)

After you enter the Tower of the Dawned, you confront Darklord Taktaal and, after that, Archlord Gnaag.

In total there are three confrontations:
- Taktaal
- Mind Reaper and
- Gnaag

(Spoiler (Last Warning)).



If you use the Sommerswerd against Taktaal is an instant death, while that if you use it against Gnaag is an instant victory.

My doubt is: Could you use the Sommerswerd against the Mind Reaper?

It would alert Gnaag to your presence, which sounds like a bad idea.

In fact, Gnaag already knows that you are there and who you are as he came in the room right after you killed Taktaal. Starting from that moment, using the SS doesn't mean it's insta-death anymore.

Oh, fair point! I haven't read that scene in a while, completely forgot about the sequence of who-kills-what-when
