(I have a fighter with +4 bow, and a thief with a bow...of >course, all have exotic arms/armours...can't see how the bow helps.) > > Ken Arm all with Exotics Except for one with a bow. THe exotics can kill the floors. You use the Bow to find the floors. The bolt from the bow wont hurt the floor but the bolt will stop on a floor. I normally get in the configuration of: M M M B Where the M's are then men with exotics and the B is the man with the bow. All will attack foward until you cannot kill anymore without using the bow. Then the bowmen steps around shooting till the bolt is stoped. You now know where the last one is. There are SIX sets of floors. (did I explain that well?) GOOD luck Send me mail . . .
