First, you must secure a perimeter with precise placements of gaurdian. Send out a golem scout on a recon mission. With any luck, he can recover enough information for HQ to analyze and report the exact postion of the jewel via GPS satellite. At worst, he will act as a diversion affording you more time to recover the booty. To succeed in this mission, soldier, there are several options:
1. Shoot the hostage!
2. Initiate a sweep pattern, 1 yard doubleback:
X = gaurdian
P = player
. = empty space
|X . . . . .X|
| . . . . . . .|
| . . . . . . .|
| . . . . . . .|
| . . . . . . .|
| . . . . . . .|
| . . . . . . .|
| . . . . . . .|
| . . . . . . .X
| . . . . . . .
|P . . . . . .
|X . . . . . .X
Begin in this postion and move along the wall until you reach the north border at X, keeping your cursor always one yard in front of your character. When you reach the top, sidestep one yard to the right and doubleback in the same fashion to the southern border. Continue sweep over entire area (you should have picked this up in basic).
3. Ransack
Because of the range of heat-seaking CL missles, the targets were most likely unaware of your presence and were fried in their camps. This means that the booty must also be found in these areas. Perhaps the trench looked something like this:
E = slain enemy
|X . . . . .X|
| . . . . . . .|
| . . . .EE .|
| . . . . .E .|
| . .E . .E .|
| . . . . . .E|
|EE . . . . .|
| .E . . . . .|
| . . . . . . .X
| . . . . . . .
|P . . . . . .
|X . . . . . .X
In this case, the search area would only include the yards surrounding the foes:
|X . . . . .X|
| . . .SSSS|
| . . .SSSS|
| .SSSSSS|
| .SSSSSS|
|SSSSSSS|
|SSS . .SS|
|SSS . . . .|
|SSS . . . .X
| . . . . . . .
|P . . . . . .
|X . . . . . .X
If all else fails, keep this in mind:
1. Can dlvl 4 be blue? I am talking caves blue.
2. Do the dungeons go on for miles? Character can walk pretty fast in that case. Do they use miles in Tristram?
3. Do you even want the jewel? A ring drop on dlvl 4 from horrors can't be all that impressive.
