Farm to get another level and take the fire ball spell in the sewer shop and the heat aura in the garden shop you have enough point with 1 lvl (5 if not hard or hard++) to get them.

Or be patient and kill him with a simple fire bolt

[Carbu]

he still have to farm a level

[Guybrush]

Firebolt doesnt require having points into fire

[Carbu]

My bad though you needed at least 1 point. Well better farm a level imo

Actually you CAN beat Medeox without being a mage. You'll need a few things though, and may or may not have to grind a level if you've spent all your points. Here's how I did it:

1. You'll need a good bow. Meltroth does the job, even if the special effect doesn't work on Medeox. If you can't use Medeox due to weapon specs, use an ordinary bow (not recommended, but can be done)
1a. If you have an "improve weapon" scroll, use it on Meltroth.

2. You need a couple of spells - "antidote" (thankfully fast to cast) and "Triple shot" which is more of a skill. Both are essential for this to work.
2a. Make sure your "kill points" bar is full so you can use the Triple shot skill.

3. Heat aura scrolls. At least 5, to be sure.

4. (optional but a good idea) Either "regeneration" or "healing" - if you have enough skill for antidote though you should already have these two :)

Okay, got all that? Tactics time!

First off, do NOT go to the bottom platform. You can't escape it when Medeox starts firing his eye lasers. Stick to the top three levels if possible. Move to second level from top right after you activate the fight.

Second, as soon as Medeox appears, activate triple shot, target a snake head and shoot like mad.
Jump between the top and second platforms to avoid poison bolts.They move slowly enough that you should be able to time it ok. If you get hit, just use antidote spell.

I'm assuming you know to turn away when Medeox' killing gaze is looking at you so we'll skip that.

Repeat the above until all snake heads are gone - you only have two "Triple shots" rounds unfortunately, but it works fine with a little patience and finishes off the snakes a lot quicker.

As soon as the ghosts appear, activate a heat aura scroll - still jump between top two platforms and in between keep shooting at Medeox's big eye. You'll eventually wear him down and voila! You've won the fight without being a mage!

Hope this helped. :)
