You'll find the Elixir of Restoration at (X30,Y25) and you should bring it back to D4 (X12,Y3). You'll find the Yak Master in a coffin at (X2,Y28), beware as he's a master lich, so kill him fast. I used a teleport spell to get to the various secret areas, so I found no use for the switches other than for looks. Also, you should think about using a levitate spell, as there are pit traps all over the place. ------------------------------------------------------------------ THE WITCH'S TOWER PLACE TITLE:F9 (X10,Y9): LEVEL 1 TREASURE: (X3,Y8) 5,000 EXP.

The locations of the traps that I listed are NOT the locations of all of the traps, just a few that I carelessly hit. If you stick to the edge of the clouds, you WILL NOT hit any traps. Get used to using the jump spell to hop from cloud to cloud, and on occasion use the teleport to take shortcuts. ----------------------------------------------------------------- CAVES OF ILLUSION NOTES: Hopefully you can swim by now, as you need it for this watery dungeon. You better have a lot of gems if you want to improve your stats. Each level has a safe that you can only open after you've pulled the plug on Level 4. I only mentioned the location of the safe on the fourth level, but you better search the others out as they hold a LOT of gold. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLACE TITLE:B4 (X2,Y15): LEVEL 1 TREASURE: (X11,Y8) ABILITY MODIFIERS: (X0,Y14) (X0,Y11) (X3,Y6) (X5,Y6) (X1,Y1) (X4,Y0) (X12,Y1) (X11,Y13) (X14,Y13) (X15,Y6) (X13,Y4) (X10,Y4) (X9,Y8) (X8,Y5) NOTES: You can raise the following abilities by 2 at the following locations for 10 gems: LUCK (X0,Y14) (X13,Y4) ACCURACY (X0,Y11) (X10,Y4) ENDURANCE (X3,Y6) (X8,Y5) SPEED (X5,Y6) (X9,Y8) PERSONALITY (X1,Y1) (X15,Y6) INTELLECT (X4,Y0) (X14,Y13) MIGHT (X12,Y1) (X11,Y13) ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLACE TITLE: (X,Y): LEVEL 2 ABILITY MODIFIERS: (X6,Y0) (X3,Y5) (X1,Y9) SECRET DOORS: (X14,Y5) (X4,Y8) (X6,Y2) NOTES: You can raise the following abilities by 3 at the following locations for 20 gems: SPEED (X6,Y0) ACCURACY (X3,Y5) PERSONALITY (X1,Y9) ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLACE TITLE: (X,Y): LEVEL 3 ABILITY MODIFIERS: (X15,Y11) (X2,Y2) (X1,Y3) (X4,Y7) (X4,Y1) (X5,Y0) (X1,Y14) (X14,Y5) (X15,Y3) (X10,Y0) (X10,Y3) NOTES: You can raise the following abilities by 5 at the following locations for 50 gems: LUCK (X15,Y11) (X14,Y5) (X12,Y2) (X15,Y3) MIGHT (X1,Y14) ENDURANCE (X2,Y2) PERSONALITY (X1,Y3) (X10,Y0) INTELLECT (X4,Y7) (X10,Y3) ACCURACY (X4,Y1) SPEED (X5,Y0) ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLACE TITLE: (X,Y): LEVEL 4 **TREASURE:** (X8,Y0) ABILITY MODIFIERS: (X1,Y10) (X13,Y3) (X14,Y10) (X1,Y14) (X11,Y3) NOTES: You can raise the following abilities by 10 at the following locations for 200 gems: ACCURACY (X1,Y10) (X13,Y3) ENDURANCE (X14,Y10) (X11,Y3) MIGHT (X1,Y14) You need 300 gems for the key to the Tower of High Magic, skull at (X7,Y14).
