Overview

1-4 – Levers and Gates

The first level of the tower is comprised mostly of a puzzle where you’ll need to open the right gates so you can access the back hallway and reach the staircase leading to Level 2 (Exit B). The lever at #1 opens the gates at #1a. The lever at #2 opens the gates at #2a. The lever at #3 opens the gates at #3a, #3b and #3c. The lever at #4 opens the gates at #4a and #3b. The trick to the puzzle is to use the levers at #3 and #4 until the gates at #3b and #3c are both open.

Starting with the position where you’ll find the gates when you first enter the tower, pulling levers in the order #1-#2-#1-#4-#3 will clear the way to the exit. When you go through the exit gate (#3c), the gate will close behind you and you’ll hear a laugh. You’ll then have to kill Mortikus (#5) to get the gate back open.

5 – Mortikus

Mortikus is a Dimensional Eye. He has a good resistance to elements, but no resistance to physical damage, so if you’re a spellcaster then your best bet is Sunder Flesh. If Mortikus damages you with one of his melee attacks, then he might poison you, and if you’re close to him when he dies, then he might inflict disease on you as well. So for best results, attack Mortikus from a distance.

When Mortikus dies, he’ll drop a Turquoise Key, which will allow you to unlock the door (#6) next to the exit stairs (Exit B).

6 – Locked Door

To open this door, you’ll either need to pick its Level 6 lock, or you’ll need to acquire the Turquoise Key.

7 – Vaxia

Vaxia is another Dimensional Eye, but she’s just the opposite of Mortikus (#5). She’ll hit you with spells, and she won’t poison you or inflict disease. She also won’t drop anything when she dies.

8 – Levers and Gates

You’ll need to pull the two levers (#8) to open the gates (#8a) leading to the exit stairs (Exit C).

9 – Trapped Treasure Chest

Inside this treasure chest you’ll find a Virescent Bell. See our Bells guide for information about what to do with it.

10 – Charma

Charma is involved in the quest Assistance from Lorewitch.

11 – Treasure Room

Inside the treasure room you’ll discover three chests. One of them is random. Inside the other two you’ll find a Mystic Ring and the unique sword Emberdark.
