Wizardry III: Legacy of Llylgamyn/Floor 4

Fear of the statue of the fourth floor stone
Due to the number of small rooms, there are many encounters. The strength and power of the enemy rises quite a bit here, so take care.

When you first arrive on the floor, seek out and complete battles with enemies. You may get an item called "Ship in a bottle". With this item, you are able to go from the 4th floor to the 1st floor without going through the pirate fort on the 2nd floor, saving time and effort.

One of the key items that you need in order to enter the 6th floor can be found on this floor. It's call the "Crystal of Evil". In order to obtain it, you need to defeat the stone statue of Delf in (7, 17). Delf is quite a strong enemu. In addition to petrification, he can cast LAHALITO on the party. It would be wise not to approach until you have a character that knows MADI. Delf has a number of minions who are also capable of petrification.

With strong monsters come better experience points per battle. It's not a bad idea to stick around this floor and try to level up, in preparation for floor 6. Especially toward the east side of the floor. Enemies attack right after encountering the message "Look out!" so you will know where to find enemies to battle.

From room (12, 13) you'll be able to reach the inaccessible portions of the 2nd floor by falling through the chute. On your way there, someone will tell you an important message. Make sure you remember it somehow.

A location (18, 11), you can access a stairway that leads to floor 6. To proceed, you will be asked a riddle. If you don't get the answer right, you will be sent to (18, 10). The riddle is: OURS IS AN UNEASY FRIENDSHIP. YOUR FATHERS TOILED LONG TO TAME ME, BUT EVEN NOW I WILL GO MY OWN WAY IF YOU DO NOT TEND ME WELL. I AH A POWERFUL DESTROYER, YET MY FRAILTY IS GREAT. WHAT AM I?

There is a curious black spring in (10, 5), but do not enter it. Any character that does will become paralyzed.
