Talk:Durlag's Tower/@comment-71.38.241.209-20191226041131

(SPOILER) I usually do Durlag's up to the section where you teleport across on the 3rd level down (right after I finish up everything south of Beregost), then do the rest later. On the 3rd level down after the big room with Kiel's Helmet, I go west thru the torture room. Back in the day, I'd try to go east thru the "door  switch" room, then I figured out it was all a confuscation and a waste of time. To keep from getting swamped with loot I'll use the locker on the ground floor just to the left of the entrance to store stuff. 1st after finishing upper floors, 2nd, trip back from the 2nd level down. Also, if you haven't stocked up on a few bundes of + arrows, go back to the merchant and get some (not a lot, you find more later); any plain arrows or bullets you got, stash 'em in the locker too. You want to shoot + everythings here. The 2 worst traps I can think of (meaning that I fell for and still have nightmares to this day, especially if you're trying to solo w/o Thief skills) are both on Lvl3 down. First is the hobgoblin statue that has the Stone for the exit down to the 4th floor. Look out, it's not just a measly Fireball, it's more like a Firestorm that follows you around. It really sucks (try it once, just so you can see what I mean). Second is in the room just outside of the 4th floor exit, where it appears there is a (trapped) set of stairs going down. If you are going to be an idiot like me and try to go down them w/o disarming the trap first, you get sent right back to the same room, plus a bunch of Skeleton Warriors come boiling out. At first I thought it was just me, due to being unprepared for the unexpected so I got wiped out, but then, on subsequent tries (they're 4k xp each if you can kill them), even with good teams, it still usually turned out to be a fight for survival and not worth the xp (one of the toughest fights in the entire game if you are into that.) I think they are stronger than normal Skeleton Warriors. Finally, make sure to nab the Knife from Demon Knight after you kill him (Tank with ProtMag & a sh*tload of + arrows, etc.), and take it to Ulgoth's Beard. When the Joes appear right on your case, run away. I usually go straight North (outside the town) and hide behind a shed so I can buff up a bit before they show up chasing after me (another one of the toughest fights in the game)
