MANGAR'S TOWER, LEVEL 3
I could simply bypass this level altogether by teleporting to the Magic Mouth, giving it the passwords, and then making my way to the stairs. But I show how to get the passwords and how to use them for the sake of completeness. More xp grinding is a bonus for me.
Fourth Word
I'm not going to bother with light for this level, because coming back into dark zones is always so inevitable.
I start with the fight against random monsters at 1N 12E. I then go south through the door at 2N 13E, go south to loop around for the fight against random monsters at 21N 13E.
I continue with the fight against random monsters at 1N 17E, and then loop around for the other fight against random monsters at 21N 18E.
I leave the room and make my way northwards. At 9N 19E is a Magic Mouth that provides a clue, the fourth word is "and".
1st Mongo
I go to a fight against a Mongo at 8N 20E. Mongos are potentially dangerous since they can use the Stone Touch spell, but am at the point where I either kill them before they try or resist it and then kill them afterwards.
I go a little south and west through some doors for a fight against random monsters at 4N 13E. I go back out the doors once I win the fight.
2nd Mongo
I go to a fight against a second Mongo at 4N 20E and kill it.
I continue east to loop around to the other side and then win the fights against random monsters at 4N 6E and 4N 8E. I come back out the doors to the dark zone afterwards.
Last Word
First I win the fights against random monsters at 1N 4E and 1N 8E.
I next go south through the door near 2N 9E and then loop around to win the fight against random monsters at 21N 10E. I go back out the north door.
I go south through the door near 1N 5E, loop around, and continue south through the door on the other side of the room at 20N 6E.
I activate a Locate Traps spell and then use Trap Zap on the trap at 20N 4E.
I now make my way to 21N 4E, where I get an ominous warning about hot coals. I go through a series of doors leading west, each square draining Hit Points away. I also have to fight a couple more battles along the way.
At 21N 0E is another clue, that "damned" is the last word. I go back to where I first got the hot coals warning, and then cast a Restoration spell to restore everyone's Hit Points.
Sixth Word
I begin by winning fights against random monsters at 17N 5E and 17N 6E.
I go back to the dark zone and go a little south. I use Trap Zap on the trap at 15N 4E.
I continue by winning fights against random monsters at 16N 3E and 19N 2E.
At 19N 1E I get the sixth word "forever" as a clue. I go back out the way I came and return to the dark hallway.
3rd Mongo
First I win a fight against random monsters at 13N 0E.
I then back track W N N E E E E S S S and W through the door so as to fight and kill the single Mongo at 12N 3E. I step back out the door afterwards.
4th Mongo
I proceed with winning fights against random monsters at 14N 7E, 14N 8E, 16N 7E and 16N 5E.
There is both a spinner and a trap at 15N 10E. I first use Trap Zap to get rid of the trap. I then make sure I step south off the spinner. I win another fight against random monsters at 14N 11E.
I go back to the spinner, and make sure I step off north. At 18N 9E is another fight against a single Mongo.
I go back to the spinner, and this time make sure I step off east.
5th Mongo
I go north through the door for a fight against a fifth Mongo at 16N 11E.
I am now in a series of interconnected rooms filled with fights against random monsters. Some of the rooms also have one-way doors, which can make navigating the complex tricky. I do the fights in a sequence of 19N 11E, 18N 13E, 17N 12E, 16N 12E, 17N 14E, 16N 13E, 19N 12E, 19N 13E and 18N 14E.
I leave through the doors that go north out of the complex so as to arrive at 20N 14E.
6th Mongo
I turn east and use Trap Zap to get rid of the trap at 20N 16E.
There is another fight against a lone Mongo at 21N 20E.
After that, I also win a fight against random monsters at 18N 18E.
Third Word
At 15N 16E is both a trap and an anti-magic square. I use Trap Zap to get rid of the trap.
I go onto the anti-magic square, resigned to my persistent spells getting snuffed out for the time being, and then go east five squares. At 15N 21E is a clue that reveals "passion" is the third word.
I win the fights against random monsters at 16N 20E and 18N 20E. I then back track and return to the dark hallway.
7th Mongo
I return to the anti-magic square and then go one square south from it. I next defeat a seventh Mongo at 14N 15E.
Now I return to the dark hallway, and put my persistent spells (i.e. Ybarra's Mystical Force, Major Levitation, Kiel's Magic Compass) now that I no longer need to go over that anti-magic square.
8th Mongo
I use Trap Zap to get rid of a trap at 10N 16E. I then defeat an eighth Mongo at 9N 14E.
I next win a fight against random monsters at 7N 13E, and then return to the dark hallway.
Second Word
I go west a bit and use Trap Zap to get rid of a trap at 10N 10E. Note that there is a spinner on that square as well.
I defeat the random monsters at 9N 11E and 8N 13E. I also get another clue after the second fight, the second word is "with". I return to the dark hallway.
Fifth Word
At 12N 11E is another clue, that the fifth word is "be". I go back out the way I came and return to the dark hallway.
I go back to the spinner at 10N 10E and make sure I step off one square to the north. I win a fight against random monsters at 11N 9E.
I go back to the spinner again, and make sure I step off one square to the west.
First Word
At 7N 9E is another fight against random monsters, and another clue, that the first word is "lie".
I also win the fights against random monsters at 11N 5E and 8N 6E. I thereafter cast Apport Arcane with the coordinates -8 -6 -2 to leave the Tower for the time being.
50th Level
I sell off my excess loot at Garth's and then return to the Review Board. Talia and Mordred reach their 45th levels as Wizards. Everyone else reaches their 50th levels.
*NOTE* I now return to Mangar's Tower, with the intention of it being the last time, to do the 4th and 5th levels and finish the game itself.
The Seven Words
I cast Apport Arcane with these coordinates: 4 10 2. I arrive at a Magic Mouth on the third level, which asks me for the seven words. The correct answers in sequence, as per the clues, are: "lie", "with", "passion", "and", "be", "forever" and "damned". Providing these seven words in correct sequence to the Magic Mouth is necessary in order for the stairs to the fourth level to appear.
I go straight north a few squares and then cast Trap Zap to get rid of the trap at 10N 10E. I step onto the spinner on the same location, and make sure I step off one square west.
I go west a few squares and then use Trap Zap to get rid of the trap at 10N 4E. That location is also an anti-magic square. I go onto it, step one square south, and then put my persistent spells back up with the exception of Cat Eyes.
I win the fights against random monsters at 7N 3E and 8N 1E. I drop any random loot items I win from these fights, because now I want to leave room in my inventory for only the highest-tier items found in the fourth and fifth levels.
I take the stairs up to the fourth level at 9N 3E.
