Part 7 - Durlag's Tower Catacombs Level 2

You can only enter the room to the southwest initially, although by touching the statues that are against the east wall in that room, you'll open the southeast door in the entryway, and by touching the statue against the west wall, you'll open the northwest door in the entryway. The globe in the southwest room is trapped, but inside are some healing potions and an antidote as well as mage scrolls of haste and greater malison.

The southeast door in the entryway leads to a bedroom. In the tables in the bedroom you can find a fuernebol wardstone, which will open the northwest door in the entryway and an Islanne Wardstone, which will open the doorway in the southwest wall of the bedroom, where "Durlag Trollkiller" (a greater doppelganger) waits.

Overview of the second level of the catacombs in Durlag's Tower, one of the more frustrating levels. The real exit is located in the hidden room farthest south.

The northwest door in the entry leads to a sparring room that is littered with six traps, and stocked by three sparring dummies. In containers behind the sparring dummies are scrolls of protection from lightning, defensive harmony, oliluke's resilient sphere and champion's strength, potions of master thievery, healing and heroism and arrows +1, arrows +2, acid arrows, arrows of fire, arrows of ice. Attack the practice dummies to open the doors elsewhere in this level (see below for more details).

Going through the doors northeast of the entryway, you'll enter a big throne room, where there's a crown at the base of the throne. Taking the crown, you'll open a door and attract another "Durlag," as well as a "Fuernebol" and an "Islanne." They'll surround you, and then cast stinking-cloud spells and a cloudkill spell, a lethal combination. The cloudkill spell will be cast in the southwest corner of the throne room, so make sure your party is out of its area of effect. Once you're prepared for the appearance of the doppelgangers, they aren't too difficult to take out.
