I'm actually following this topic with anticipation just to see how long it is before one of the mods steps in and shuts it down for being too old.

 

I cleaned out the Durlag's Tower area south of Gullykin before chapter four and didn't find any chess game. I found a succubus, several basilisks on top of the tower, and some ghouls and ghasts, but no chess game. Now on my world map I can see Ungoths Beard, but I haven't been there yet. Will I find another Durlag's Tower somewhere else or will there be more at the old Durlag's Tower when I go back?

I found a bunch of spiral staircases in the tower going up, but no staircases going down into a dungeon.
What am I missing?

 

In one of the levels (one down from the entrance I think) there's a hidden door in the northwest corner which leads down to Durlag's Tower proper. The chess game is down there, as well as the demonknight.

 

The tower you're thinking of is Ramazith's Tower.. That's the crazy mage, too..

 

Wow! I just finished clearing out all of Durlag's Tower.

I agree, that is one big ass dungeon complex. I can't imagine anyone soloing it without a thief, you'd just get crushed, pinholed, and burned to a crisp. Even with a thief soloing, or fighter-thier or F/M/T, I think it would be very difficult. Many times my whole party got beat to a pulp by packs of greater ghouls, and we were all around 7th or 8th level.

The chess game I found particularly hard. I had to do it many times before getting through it without getting anyone killed. Jaheirra kept getting whacked.

Finally I just let loose with two fireballs from Edwin and my cleric/mage, three other characters with potions of explosions, then two more fireballs for good measure, then I only had to mop up the few remaining peices who were running around in yellow circles.

The Greater Wyverns were also pretty hard to kill.

All of this left me dreading the Demonknight, so when I got to him, I really buffed up, three fighters with giant strenght, heroism, and invulnerability, haste, protection from evil, the works. I was kind of disappointed when the Demonknight exploded into bits in the first round. I thought he would be a little harder after all the hell I went through to get to him.

Oh well, it was a really kick ass dungeon.

 

Don't worry too much. Theres a way harder demon being summoned by a freakish cult back at Ulgoth's Beard.
