soloing a cleric in Imp Ilych was actually extremely easy, I found, but it was particularly easy for my cleric of helm because of

1) true sight and
2) seeking sword

an immediate casting of sanctuary after resting, animate dead to get an army of skellies, true sight to negate backstab, doom + hold person to freeze the thief (not always necessary).

the ilych crowd itself wasn't too bad--Rasputin has pretty bad saves (compared to some of the others, i mean) and is easy to separate--help him not save a hold person by dooming him.

the glabrezu can be drawn away by sanctuary (he sees through it but zhivago can't true sight it) and prot from evil makes it so he ignores you. then holy smites followed by a holy power + seeking sword = thac0 of 5 (!!!) and 3 attacks per round with a +4 enchanted weapon.

the golem doesn't change targets, so your cleric can tank him for a bit while your 5 skelly army beats him down (they apparently have at least +1 enchantment, i guess--I was surprised).

ilych failed a hold person save (helped by doom), and zhivago and karamazov were taken out by the acorns (miscast magic destroys him), 2 skellies, and holy power + seeking sword.

it was a lot of fun, actually, though not without its fair share of reloads before I figured out exactly how to do it.
