Unlocking the Final Seal, the seal is in the middle of the room	Unlock the final seal and confront the imprisoned one	There are three pillars that are securing the seal. You must get a key for each. Follow the following detailed instructions to get the keys. When you use the key, you'll face an extremely tough group of guardians.	20,000 experience points per party member for using each of the three keys.

You arrive into the main room of this level in front of the final seal to the imprisoned one, and it's secured by three pillars, each needing a key. There are three large doors, each of which ultimately leads to a key.

The southern door from the main room leads to an encounter with a friendly helmite ghost who is standing in front of three doors, each representing a challenge. Of those three new doors, the farthest east leads to an encounter with an imp, who will first ask you a question (the answer is 7, which will earn each party member 10,000 experience points), then initiate a coin game. To win, you essentially must get the imp down to five coins. So, go first and select two coins. No matter what his response, you can to get him down to five coins. Then, finish him off and get 21,000 experience points per party member. The door to the west leads to a room of orcs, orc mages, and orc archers. They're weak opponents (although the "regular" orcs are actually souped up fighters that'll earn you 1,000 to 2,000 experience points each), but they'll constantly reappear, so spread your fighters out around the respawn points, so you can take them out as they arrive. The mages will occasionally cast fireballs, but they'll damage the orcs more than your party, but keep an eye on your hit points, so that you can take healing potions if necessary. Once you've dispatched a few dozen orcs, the helmite ghost will appear and announce that you've completed the challenge and earned 21,000 experience per party member. Behind the center door is the real challenge among the helmite ghost's tests: a green dragon. For a dragon, it's not as dangerous as others because of its choice of spells and inherent spell effects (entangle, stoneskin). Summon some creatures to distract him, use haste and giant strength potions, and cast breach and pierce to remove its stoneskin protections and lower its magical resistance, so that it becomes more vulnerable to sequenced magic missiles and other offensive spells. For taking the dragon down, you'll earn 62,000 experience points and 21,000 experience points per party member from the helmite ghost. You'll also get 10,000 experience points per party member for completing all three challenges once you exit the final room and encounter the helmite ghost again.

Jolly green giant. Unlike the other dragons you may have met, you can't avoid battling this fellow. Fortunately, he's weaker than most of the dragons you'll face, although you'll still have to prepare well prior to starting the battle or you can lose control of the battle quickly.

The key you get from the helmite ghost will open the northwest lock on the seal, earning you 20,000 experience points per party member and an encounter with one of the toughest group of monsters in the game, including a hive mother beholder, a djinni, and a range of spellcasters and melee opponents. Ensure that you have protected your party as well as possible before you open the seal by summoning a few powerful animals or monsters and using haste, stoneskin, mirror image, blur, protection from evil, defensive harmony, chant, bless, and similar spells. Also ensure that your fighters take potions of giant strength or heroism. You'll have a brief opportunity to attack the enemies the instant they arrive before they can raise defenses, but it's difficult to take them down before most party members (including the hive mother) cast improved mantle making them temporarily immune to most attacks until you take those defenses down. Concentrate on removing defenses using breach and pierce spells, while your fighters concentrate on the opponents that are vulnerable to attack. The djinni, Y'tossi, will summon skeletons to distract you. Nalmissra drains levels with her melee attacks. Ameralis Zauvir is a druid that likes to summon insect swarms to ruin your spellcasting.

The northwest door from the main room leads to a room guarded by spiders (who aren't very dangerous), followed by a room with four colored columns. Every time you press one of the buttons, you'll gain 1,000 experience points per party member and have an encounter, as follows:

• Press green: Spiders, umber hulks, greater earth elementals, and beholders (death tyrant, elder orb, and hive mother)
  
• Press red: Hobgoblins, kuo-toa, trolls (giant and spectral), and wolfweres
  
• Press blue: Successively higher mages
  
• Press purple: Skeleton warriors, shades, vampires, and liches (elemental and normal)
