7. TOWER OF DRACANDROS : 5 Level Tower
TOWER OF DRACANDROS : LEVEL 5.
At the top of the tower you can either attack Dracandros or Parly nicely with
dragons as both will achieve the same result. Take out the Efreets and Drow.
Here you should rest up and save before going down the stairs.

TOWER OF DRACANDROS : LEVEL 4
As soon as you come down the stairs you will be attacked by a Drow Fighter.
He is very tough. Get close to him and hack away as well as cast spells like
Lightning and Magic Missles, etc as other spells are ranged and will help him
finish you off. Make sure you take his Plate Mail +4 and Shield +2. Go to
point 4 which is the Trial of the Sphere. Let Akabar do this for you. Don't
panic when it starts getting close as will move away and wipe out the other
guy. Now collect some nice treasure. Go back to point 3 if you want to play
with some Wyverns, nasty stuff them so get your group into position and guard
until they come at you. Spell them and hack away. Exit down the stairs to
level 3.

TOWER OF DRACANDROS : LEVEL 3
Not much on this level. The Dark Elf warrior is an illusion. Before the
exit is some Owlbears and a few Drow fighters. Chew-em-up and spit-em-out so
you can get to level 2.

TOWER OF DRACANDROS : LEVEL 2
Ahhh, this is what I like, another small level with nothing happening. Don't
pickup the paper, its a bomb. Go to point 2 and find the pool, delve into the
bottom to retrieve Silks pod and then go to Dracandros' chambers and search for
some booty, then hit the stairs down.

TOWER OF DRACANDROS : LEVEL 1
Hey, another level with nothing happening. Walk around to the first door
then go straight ahead, confrot the Wyverns and heal up cause behind door
number 1 is the infamous Dracandros. Wipe out everybody with the usual
tactics, but DON'T try and hit Dracandros with melee weapons. Hit him only
with missile weapons and spells because he will cast a fireshield opon himself.
What? Don't know what a Fireshield is? Well, whatever damage you do to him
will be done to you in return but double. So if you hit him for 25hps you will
automatically lose 50hps, but this only works on melee weapons.... Snatch his
loot, wands especially as there is a wand of Icestorm and one of Fireballs.
Exit to the caves and give the pod to Silk, collect the treasure and head for
the standing stone.
