Nociduas is a tough cookie on Torment: his ice rays are nasty, he has more hit points than the Nimitz, he drinks healing potions, and his demon spawn thing is also very tough.

But he is quite vulnerable to Terror, even from a wand. The weird thing is his reaction to terror: instead of running away, he stays put, and chugs at least six speed potions each round. He manages one nasty ice ray per round too, despite his terror; but just the one. With all that speed, you're expecting to get blasted with four attacks the next round; but terrified Nociduas just uses all his extra speed to drink more speed.

With Augmentation and Enduring Armor from the nearby birdbath, even wimpy characters can survive one hit from his ice ray, and so you can keep grinding him down.

Once again, I have no idea how to open the gate. This time I looked thoroughly for levers, so I really have no idea.

Incidentally... My melee characters are at 16 blademaster and I haven't trained it once.

The area behind it isn't completely empty; there's a pool of water that restores your spell energy. Admittedly, that's pretty much the least useful thing that could be there without it being completely worthless.
