tactics
spell choice
These spells are worth considering:
bury - there are many pockets of undead troops
totem of resurrection
summon minotaur
heal
scythian bow
gorgon_stare
clearing the dartboard
You will start in the north east portion of the map (1), with Orgon, Deaphus and an injured Gaion.
Head north into the circular room.
Move Aurax to the top of the stairs and cast a bury
spell to clear the room of undead,
then move your party downstairs and collect the mana sprites and pie.
In the next room to your left,
again bury the undead,
and summon a
minotaur on the PoP and a
totem of resurrection to the north of it.
to the main door
After resting here for a while, building up mana, seeing off any chaos intruders with your minotaurs,
and healing them back to full health, start your twisty journey to the main door (2).
Leave you party members in this room, with a minotaur or 2 guarding the south entrance to it.
The next few rooms wind around blood pits - this 'blood bank' an indication of who owns the tower.
Use your minotaurs to rid the chaos troops, and collect items from the blood pits, which are safe to enter.
Guard the next PoP like you did the first one.
prepare to open the door
You now have all the time in the world to build up a force outside the door (2).
Create as many minotaurs as you can (leaving a couple guarding the 2 Pops),
heal them, force upgrade them
(if you can be bothered)
and cast scythian bow on them all.
Now with your army ready for a battle royale, open the door using Aurax, and then get him out of the way.
prepare to open the door
Upon opening the door, a cut scene explains Gaions' treachery and introduces Aurax to the Vampire Lord.
Immediately as the scene ends, pause the game and cast gorgon_stare
on the 2 enemy wizards (3).
Now grab your minotaur group and send 5 after the Vampire Lord,
5 after Gaion,
and wedge 5 in the main corridor to stop enemies passing. Cast more if required.
finishing up
With the enemy vanquished, Gaion proceeds to explain herself.
Aurax frees her spirit by stabbing her with his staff and the pentagram exit portal appears.
Send your minotuars around the map to collect items before leaving the level.
