Strategy
===General===
* It's strongly advised to minimize the amount of Melee Towers as possible due to their vulnerability of Saurian Deathcoil, which deals 100 True Damage nearly half of the stage.
* Dwarf Hall should be placed near the Exit, in order to block any possible Saurian Nightscale, which might use invisibility until near the exit, but not always, or depends on when they received their damage. Dwarf Hall near the next also reduce the chance of being targeted by Saurian Deathcoil's ranged attack.
* Rain of Fire can be used to save killing a group of Saurian Deathcoils, since they are very annoying to deal with.
===Upgrades and Hero===
* By this time, you should have enough upgrades to Upgrade fully in the Upgrade Tree. Otherwise, reset the upgrade and you really don't need to worry about upgrading the Barracks too much.
* The higher the hero's health, the more time it takes Saurian Deathcoil to use their ranged attack and fully kill your hero.
===Towers===
* Necromancer Tower with its minions can be used to distract Saurian Deathcoil from killing your undead units and the minions can also be used to block enemies and fight.
* Crossbow Fort's Falconer can be used to support nearby towers with extra range in order to farther attack enemies, especially Saurian Deathcoil with comes out from the entrance and might stop after a few steps, attacking your allies without receiving any damage.
* DWAARP can be used as a replacement of Rain of Fire to attack multiple enemies at a time.
* A couple ofArchmage Towers are advised to be placed at northwest, since it ignores armor and have very high damage, which can be used to attack Saurian Brute and Xyzzy, which have no resistance and medium armor, respectively.

==Trivia==
*The kingdom the dwarves are searching for, 'Loria' is based on the similar sounding Moria from The Lord of the Rings. It is a great underground Dwarven City where Gold, Mithril and many other treasures are mined.
*This is referenced again in the level, a faint outline of an arch can be seen on the wall in the lower right corner. Clicking on it will light the arch much like how the door to Moria is seen in the film adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring.
