personally, I ended up beating it with a totally whacky setup, I just can't remember which. I only know no one could believe it worked. It was very cool.
I agree, absolutely brilliant fight back in the day. The thing that made it tough was finding people who needed the fight really (not that it wasnt a death-fest, more that it dragged on because of the prep required). If this was a fight with some great rewards/super epicness that incentivised it, I'm sure it'd be more about the challenge of the fight than the build up.
