Most difficult part is simply dealing with the Death Gaze (the thing that chunks you into a Ghoul). Potions of Mirrored Eyes apparently prevent it, and supposedly you can dispel it.

Other than that it's a standard demon fight: lots of hold, paralyze, silence going on, has decent MR protecting it, needs enchanted weapons to hit. If you've played the sequel at all you know all this stuff already and how to deal with it/mitigate it.

The seer Dushai has a ring of free action (pickpocket or kill her for it) that will prevent the rest of his debilitating effects on a warrior; combine this with a potion of mirrored eyes and he/she can just beat him up at that point (the demon doesn't really attack that much unless you're held).

For those having too much difficulty, or playing the OG BG1 (where there are no kits like Berserker or Inquistor that make this fight MUCH easier), simply spamming monsters with the wand of monster summoning to surround him in bodies works to distract him long enough for you to clear the cultists, and then you can swat him down while he's busy stunning/killing the fodder. He can still cast the death gaze thing on your party from range as soon as he appears, so QUICKLY use the wand to put monster between you him so he'll likely target them with it instead. You don't even need potions of mirrored eyes or dispel magic if you're lucky, just make sure you keep him swimming in summoned monsters.

It's frustrating to kill him only to lose a party member or two to Death Gaze after the fight, but enough tries using this summon monster method will eventually go off without a hitch, and you only need to beat him once.
