The End Game

The Medusa, the final monster, is the worst monster yet. Just one
blow from him, accompanied by a harsh screaming noise and all the
party members die quickly. The Medusa is a floating skull and when
he screams, snakes pop out of holes in his head. He inhabits quite
a large room and on his own would be more than enough to cope
with, at least you could run away, but other monsters surround you
too, so that often you are being attacked on three sides and can't
move.

You are supposed to box him into a corner with create wall spells,
but that isn't the doddle it may seem either.  Anyway, by studying
the map book I managed to collect all three Mirror Keys (of
course, you need to go to great lengths to get the keys which open
the doors to actually GET to the Mirror Keys - and they are all in
different rooms).  Once the three Mirror Doors are open, then you
can get the Mirror Shield and confront the Medusa. Just in time I
thought to swap the Shield into the Fighter's action hand and not
leave it in the usual shield hand so that when the Medusa struck,
he was quickly dispatched.

General Help

Invaluable features of the game are the teleport spell, that magic
users over a certain level can use to teleport the party to any
previously visited location on the level, also the instant
co-ordinate read out, on the fighter's tablet, that tells you
where the heck you are, with all the teleporting you wouldn't
have a clue.
