Level Overview:

This level is the penultimate challenge, requiring you to defeat two Keepers and all heroes with limited initial resources. Magic and room creation are restricted until a wizard is dealt with. You start with a single Spider (Level 4) and cannot attract new creatures, making it crucial to acquire all unaligned creatures.

Walkthrough:

1. The Spider, the Hero, and the Mistresses:

   Start with your lone Spider (Level 4). Build a lair and hatchery, then use "Possession" on the spider. Trigger the boulders in the corridor ahead and retreat to destroy them. Break the wooden door and use "Freeze" on the first Archer (Level 1) encountered, then "Slow" the others to minimize damage. Heal at the lair/hatchery if needed.

   Continue, break another door, and prepare for an ambush of heroes. Quickly retreat through the watery hallway to the east, break two doors to free two Mistresses (Level 6). "Possess" a Mistress and use "Lightning" while circling enemies. Prioritize keeping both Mistresses alive.

   After defeating the heroes, heal your creatures. Continue along the corridor, break doors, and reach area '4' with boulders. Strafe to the other side to have the slow-moving Giants crushed by the boulders. Proceed to find Imps.

2. Defeat Blue Keeper:

   Heal your creatures and mine gold. Begin digging east towards area '5'. Your Mistresses are stronger than the Blue Keeper's Trolls and Beetles. Have Imps dig a path to '5' while another Imp claims tiles. Pick up a Mistress and position her near the Blue Keeper's lair.
