Happy holidays to all my fellow game fanatics! Here is GW's Tip of the day...

If you are looking for a piece of high level armor that keeps evading you, read on...The Tomb of Souls has a secret that a few of you have probably figured out.

Everyone who has been there knows that it is a jackpot of weapons and armor, but there is a room with a single level 9 sarcophagus (it's to the southeast of room # 6, the Enkhar of Evil (see walkthrough map) When I first disarmed it, all it yielded was some lousy gold and 2 stinking healing potions, even after 4 consecutive attempts. In a level 9? Wierd man! So I left it unopened, thinking that there might be something to it. GW's spider sense was on to something again...
Open it last of all, after you get Vartugg's eye etc. It is a Cornucopia of high level armor. It does not offer Dragon armor but it does provide a huge assortment if you have enough patience. A neccesary virtue if you want to beat this game, with or without the help of walkthroughs. It took me 6--I'm obsessed, I admit it-- hours of disarming the damned thing to find what I was looking for, the Deathlord Plate!!! The following cycle in a variety of random combinations with regular Plate Mail and gold:

Conqueror's Helm, Helm of Storms, Warlocks Hat

Griffon Shield, Shield of the Dragon, Shield of Anguish, and the Shield of Sorrow

Mythnir Plate, Gauntlets, Boots, and Leggings

Crimson Plate, Gauntlets, Boots, Leggings and Belt

Guided Plate, Gauntlets, Boots, Leggings and Belt

Deathlord Plate, Gauntlets of Death, Boots, and Leggings

You will also find similar Armor in the chests in the Tomb of Voratus,(room 17) but if you want that final piece you are looking for to complete a set, this level 9 will help...I walked out with almost a complete set of Deathlord Armor (except the Belt and Shoulders!)

p.s. You can also find the Katana of the Sun in several chests in the Tomb.

Enjoy! GW
