h) "CAVERNS" - Emberglow

Begin by excavating nearby gold and building Lairs. A Giant will attack your Dungeon Heart; defend it with Goblins and Imps.

Claim nearby rooms: Workshop, Lair, Hatchery, Torture Chamber, Library, Training Room, and Treasury. Excavate rock near the Workshop to expand the Library. Sell the Lair and build a Prison to start converting Giants.

The fiery Salamander joins you; it can cross lava and trains up to level four automatically. Trained Salamanders may assist in mining.

Work North, capturing and converting at least 5-6 Giants. Torture some Giants to death to reveal the locations of Sigmund's Fort (two Hero Portals).

Excavate soft rock areas to find secrets, including cash injection magic items and level-up items. To find the Horny Talisman secret ('A New Land'), build a wooden bridge east from the small Treasury, then excavate around and down from there. Use the 'Sight of Evil' spell to uncover areas temporarily.

Head North to find a solitary wizard and a guardroom. Kill the wizard and capture/convert the guards. Let the wizard become a skeleton. Post your creatures in the guardroom and excavate East, building wooden bridges for Imps to cross lava. Use Salamanders and Giants to batter down doors, as they can cross lava. Capture wizards and convert them to skeletons.

When Sigmund calls, a force will attack. Summon your troops. If you have converted Giants and Guards and trained Salamanders, you should be able to defeat this force. Capture and convert any needed creatures; let the rest become Undead.

Reach the Hero Portals. Have Imps excavate around them. The Fort is in a lava pool with front and back doors. Build a bridge to the back door for an Imp to claim, allowing direct minion drops into the Fort.

Ensure your creatures are trained and use any found level-up specials. Build bridges at both ends of the Fort and have Giants batter down the doors simultaneously. Drop minions at the front and back to assault Sigmund from both sides. He will fall quickly.

Horny will rise, collect the Gem, and unlock the second secret land. He can be summoned in the next realm as your Horny Talisman reaches half completion.
