Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Blow up the pods in front of you then follow the passage until you drop into a hall with three root-covered columns. Press the switch just south of the columns to open the door at the north end of the hall, dodge one to three maulotaurs that drop in from above, then go through the door and enter the teleporter ahead to go to the main arena. There are three buildings around the edge of the arena which generate an endless supply of pods, which will then be blown into some volcanoes where they will detonate; you will need to watch out for the exploding pods while navigating the arena. Press the switch on the platform in front of you to lower the column in the pit in the center of the arena, then press a second switch inside the column to lower platforms around the arena that hold weapons and artifacts, including a tempest wand to the south of the second switch.
Pressing the first switch will cause monsters to start teleporting to the arena in multiple waves, starting with undead warriors followed by gargoyles, disciples of D'Sparil, weredragons and chaos serpents, more disciples, more weredragons, more disciples, and finally draugrs. The maulotaurs you encountered in the starting hall can also teleport to the arena if you did not kill them earlier. Shortly after the draugrs have teleported in, another column inside the lava in the middle of the arena will lower to reveal a switch. Press this switch to raise two curved staircases on either side of it, then run up either staircase and enter the teleporter at the top to go back to the starting hall. Enter the teleporter that has opened at the south end of the hall to go to the exit area.
The exit room contains a number of gargoyles as well as nitrogolems on platforms. Take the wand crystals and tempest wand in front of you, then step past the second nitrogolem’s platform to summon a large number of draugrs as well as two maulotaurs. After the second maulotaur has appeared, the door at the south end of the room will open to reveal a mystic urn and another teleporter. Enter the teleporter then step on the blue pad in front of you to finish the level.

Secrets[edit]
- At the east and west sides of the arena are two teleporters which have a patch of lava on one side of them; entering the teleporter from that side will send you to the lava between the walkways in the south-east corner of the arena area. Push a pod into each teleporter, then run up the eastern staircase at the south end of the arena to jump to the walkway. Run across the pods you teleported earlier to reach a Wings of Wrath and a teleporter back to the starting hall. Use the Wings to fly up to the teleporter inside the middle column and go to a maze. Open any of the three walls near the middle of the maze that have tridents on them to find four crystal geodes and a Ring of Invincibility. (sector 890)
