 City of the Damned The Guard Tower 
You are at the top of a tower. Turn around and open the Raven encrested portion of the wall to reveal a secret area containing a Tome of Power. Kill the two Gargoyles that emerge from the lowered wall that's triggered in front of you. Obtain the book and head back around to exit via the wooden door to your right.

Kill the Gargoyle that greets you and continue down the path that opens to the outside on the left. From your vantage point on the ledge, clear out the horde of Gargoyles attacking you from the sky. Continue around and head down the steps to your immediate left, killing the Gargoyle in your path.

Jump into the water, pick up the blue orb ammo and use your Tomed Claw to decimate the throng of Golems and Gargoyles, as well as the Undead Warrior and Nitrogolem on the large round platform above you that also contains the Gold Key. Traverse the length of the entire watery area, around the large round platform, making your way full circle and step through an opening on your right.

Trace your way around the wall to your left, around a corner, continue tracing your way around the left wall around another corner containing some barrels, collecting blue vials and killing a few Gargoyles as they come near you. In the second corner, you can look up and see a Raven crested portion of a wall above you. That is your destination.

Continue around to your left until you come to an opening, go up the stairs, and at the top you'll see some Gauntlets to your left. Obtain them if you wish, turn right to face the Raven crest. Feel free to continue past the Raven crest, through the opening and kill the Gargoyles remaining in that hallway. Make your way back to the Raven crest and open the secret door. Ready your Time Bomb of the Ancients and release your artifact behind you after you jump over a Golem. Go through the portal as the Golem opens the present you left behind.

You arrive on a platform at the far side of a large area of water, containing a Map Scroll, Morph Ovum and other goodies, with Golems and Gargoyles immediately attacking you. Wipe them out, take all of the items and proceed around the right side of the large wall, whose two sides lowered as soon as you walked off the ledge on which you arrived. Circle around the other side, firing liberally from your Tomed Crossbow, killing Golem and Gargoyle attackers aplenty and obtain the Tome of Power as you come full circle.

Make your way around the corner to your left, cross a pier and kill the Golem at the wooden steps. Enter a small dwelling and kill the Nitrogolem guarding a Crossbow. Jump out the opening, turn to your immediate left and kill a Golem and a Gargoyle. Circle around two columns, picking up some green arrows and a Torch, and kill a few more Gargoyles.

Wander the trail of piers and enclosures, picking up green arrows and other goodies on your way back to the first pier you came to. Cross over to the next pier and take the opportunity to dispense with the Undead Warriors on a ledge above you to the right. Continue to your left and kill a Golem. Walking forwards triggers a wall to reveal an alcove. Kill the Golem within it and take the Silver Shield.

Wander around the other enclosures, piers and water, picking up more items and killing more Gargoyles and Golems, until you come to the Green Door. Turn around, kill the Golems in the enclosure containing some barrels and flip the webbed switch. Make your way through the other side, picking up some blue Claw orbs in the water on the side of the wooden path on your way and proceed up the steps to the platform. Pick up the Claw and quickly cross the platform containing the Gold Key, turn around and cross back over again without getting crushed (although you may still survive getting crushed if you have enough health, but it's still a good idea to keep moving).

Make your way back to open the Gold Door. Kill the Golems and Gargoyles who greet you, proceed to your left, around and up the spiraling steps up the big tower. You'll kill Golems along the way, until you come in sight of the Green Door on your left. Take the opening on your right, grab the arrows, use your Crossbow on the Gargoyles to your left and go down the steps to fight more Gargoyles. Help yourself to the various goodies scattered about the ground. Enter the lower interior of the big tower, which is an arena full of Gargoyles. You are the gladiator, killing all Gargoyles. Obtain the Green Key behind a barrier of barrels and make your way back out.

Tome up your Crossbow and shoot the Undead Warriors through the opening of a room above you until they're destroyed from afar. Head back up the steps and around to the left, through a wooden door and over to the room which contained the Undead Warriors. Grab the Shadowsphere within, turn around and make your way back down the steps to an opening on the left.

Wind around the hall to the left, kill a Gargoyle and retrieve the Tome of Power from the ledge where you killed the Undead Warriors from afar when you were at the piers. Turn around to face the Golems who emerge from a triggered area and use your Morph Ovum on them for some good clucking fun.

As the feathers dissipate behind you, retrace your way back to the Green Door and go ahead and utilize the Shadowsphere as well as your Ring of Invulnerability for good measure. Open the door, kill the Gargoyle and make your way up the spiraling stairway along the inside wall of the huge tower.

You'll face your first Disciple of D'Sparil, so don't lose your footing and keep firing your tomed Claw until he gives up the ghost. Proceed up to the last door, finish off the second Disciple of D'Sparil and flip the blue switch inside.  Still confused? You're in luck!
