 '''[Thrash]''' If a guard spots Efriam or Lethalia without being killed, you lose.
-'''[WD0]''' Towards the end you will be surrounded by your own undead, aren't you lucky they are all level 2 and ripe for multiple meteor drops from both your leaders to feed their xp. I had played this chapter where I'd gotten an undead I wanted to keep and, as luck would have it, it was positioned right between one of my leaders and Akula so I thought I would lose it (and it's equipment) but it went and got out of the way by attacking a mage instead. :)
+'''[WD0]''' When you get to the mages, for a tactical advantage move Lethalia to the north-east adjacent square first, ensuring both still have movement and attacks left. You will then be surrounded by the undead (and elementals) that were previously on your side, some of which will have to be destroyed for you to reach Akula. I had played this chapter where I'd trained an undead I wanted to keep and, as luck would have it (not), it was positioned right between one of my leaders and Akula so I thought I would lose it (and it's equipment). Fortunately it went and got out of the way by attacking a mage instead. :)

The level 1 or two enemy recruits offer no resistance, but you could use them to train up some level 1 undead recruits if you want to spend the time but you might end up attacking your own undead later (in [[LotI_Walkthrough-Part1-Chapter05#We Walk in the Shadows|We Walk in the Shadows]]). The idea is probably to get some leveled undead by the time you enter [[LotI_Walkthrough-Part1-Chapter05#The Dungeon|The Dungeon]], from which time recruiting is impractical and you probably won't have recalled any of your elites from previous chapters yet (through Soulgate).

	'''[WHU]''' As you make your way through the dungeon, you will collect a lot of items and XP, vastly strengthening your army. You can focus on a dozen or so units and advance them until they are crazy powerful, or spread the XP around. Many rooms contain something you can destroy to weaken Akula, your ultimate objective, and/or her forces. You can spend as much time exploring as you like, returning to fight the same enemies repeatedly (as long as you don't kill their boss), racking up tons of XP and items. When you are ready, Akula awaits in the center. Supposedly, if you go straight for her, it's a nasty fight. However, if you explore and conquer each room in the dungeon first the final fight is pretty much a joke. If you need allied help, enter from the east. This is the end of Part I, none of your units, items, or upgrades will carry over to Part II.
