A woman, Samia, wants me to help her get some treasures.
  • 1 of 14: This part is optional, but it's also very useful, so I suggest you do it.
  • 2 of 14: Get the key from her and go in the first doors on the right.
  • 3 of 14: While in here, be sure NOT to open any doors that don't look like they have anything behind them -- they have some nasty traps on them.
  • 4 of 14: You go through a few passageways, and then meet a fell ghast.  Kill it.
  • 5 of 14: To its left is a door.  Go in and kill the first guardian.
  • 6 of 14: They are all, it seems, efreetis, and use Fire Shield Red and throw fire spells at you.
  • 7 of 14: In the next passage, the guardians are 2 down on the far side, in the room across from that one, then to the right of that, and finally all the way down on the left.
  • 8 of 14: Across from where you entered the passage is the Director, a very weak beholder who you can bypass, but I recommend you kill it for 10,000 XP.
  • 9 of 14: Go past until you reach a small square room.  On the left is the last guardian.
  • 10 of 14: Put the pieces of the mask together, then put it on your main character and enter the next room.
  • 11 of 14: The last guardian, which you can't see without the mask, will attack.  Kill it, and then enter the next room.
  • 12 of 14: Take the Dragon Scale Shield and the Dragon Slayer out of the tomb.
  • 13 of 14: You will be attacked for the items by the lady who gave you the key and her band.  They are irritating.  Kill the wizard first (Breach helps), and then the rest you can take in straight-out beatdown.
  • 14 of 14: That's all.  Congrats, you're now free to keep the awesome items.
