Tips and Misc

There are a variety of drow: warriors, archers, and necromancers. Kill the necromancers first because they can raise the others. If there are two or more necromancers, get one down to about 5%, move to the next, and repeat. Then circle back around and knock them off as quick as possible. This way you can minimize the amount of time that they can be raised by another, living, necromancer. Fear not if you miss one or two or all of them, for once they're raised and destroyed, they cannot be raised again.

Be warned; The incantor is also a necromancer, and can also be raised by the other necromancers. However, killing the undead version does not count towards the total you need to kill.

There are several areas of respawning drow, including standard necromancers. The standard necromancers can still raise the red named incantors, creating a red named undead. If you cannot kill them as fast as they respawn, then you may be overwhelmed. Try pulling back to an area (such as the town area near the shrine where you met the first incantor) that has no respawns to deal with the mobs. The red incantors have a limited range, and will snap back to their main locations if you take them too far.
