    [​IMG] Can anyone help, I'm stuck on the bottom level of Dragons Eye when you have to fight all the priests, lizardmen and trolls.
    There are too many of them!
    How do I win?

    You really need to find the High Summoner as quickly as possible because he keeps summoning more monsters as long as he's alive. Once he's dead, you can take your time about the rest...

    If you are talking about the temple level, which isn't the last level for DE, here is what I did. I looked around the temple and talked to everyone BEFORE they were reveiled. Gon in any open door but don't pick any. Buy/sell the magic stuff from the library and then go look and the artwork on the walks. After this have you theif hide in shadows or make someone invissible. Leave them insdie the temple toward the right side. Take the rest of you party outside and talk to the guy by the main doors again.

    Pick the dialogue that 'uncovers' them and then fight him and the mage in the library. As soon as the fight starts CLOSE the main doors. This will keep the host of enemies inside. Use your thief to backstab the summoner and then open the main doors and attack the massed army with area effect attacks. It's a good fight but you should win without to much trouble. If things are getting hard you can also free the party trapped in the round room for aid.

    Don't free the party! They constantly get in the way, or push you into the jaws of death.

    I think you should free the other party once the fun times begin ... let them do your dirty work ( don't worry there are lots more to come after this level so why not take a break ;) )

    After they have done and all is quiet ... kill them ... they have some kool stuff so make it yours ... flaming sword is great :)

    But if you don't want to kill them let them out anyway ...

    Definitely take out the High Summoner as soon as possible. He's towards the south end of the map and not too tough. I found the traditional methods worked well for me in the Dragon's Eye (just left there). i.e. summon monsters/undead to blockade a doorway then hammer away with missile weapons and area effect spells over their backs. If the Baddies take out your fodder they usually are banged up bad enough for a couple of good fighters to mop them up. Both times I went to the library, the keeper just asked me if I wanted to read a specific book. I didn't have to tangle with him. What's up?

    Cheers 4 all your help guys,
    I completed it in the end, I just had to take out the high summoner as soon as possible and mop up the rest. Now I gotta beat that snake queen but I don't think thats gonna be all that hard.

    make sure everyone has +2 weapons or you will find she does not like visitors ;)

    The snake woman thing is dead, I found that part much easier than the part with the priests.
    Yuan Ti are real wusses if they don't have bows!
