Azure Tower Level 1 Map

Area Overview

Enemies

• None

Notable Loot

• Medusa Shield (#1)

1 – Loot

You’ll find a Mage Scroll of Hold Monster and a Medusa Shield on the ground here. The Medusa Shield gives +2 to AC and +2 to saving throws against paralysis, making is useful against — you guessed it — medusae. You’ll need six Medusa Shields on Level 4.

2 – Pressure Plate / Button

You’ll land in this part of the level if you fall into a pit during the Row of Pits puzzle on Level 2. To escape, you’ll need to weigh down the pressure plate here (#2). This will cause a button to appear to the south (#2a). When you press the button, a teleporter will appear briefly to the north (Exit E). Going through the teleporter will return you to the main part of the level.

3 – Landing Spot / Shelf / Button

You’ll land here (#3) if you fall into the pit near the Western Fireball Traps on Level 2. To escape, you’ll need to place an item into the shelf to the south (#3a) and then press the button on the wall next to it. The item will disappear, but the door to the east will open, giving you access to the escape teleporter (Exit F).
