Warriors Tomb level 1

Two challenging enemies are found on the first level of the Warrior’s Tomb. The first are the Swordwraiths. They do little damage but drain your strength instead. Avoid being hit by them at all costs. You’ll need magic weapons with at least 2+ to hit these creatures. Undead Beasts have tons of hit points and take reduced damage from edged weapons and are immune to fire. Use Lightning Bolts and blunt weapons to kill them.

To get through this level you need to find the four Bone Levers and leave them in the down position. The levers are found at locations 10, 21, 29 and 42. When they are all down the wall at 43 opens, revealing the stairs to the next level.
