Part of what makes Chaos Strikes Back so difficult is the randomness.  For
instance, the skeleton key can appear in one of twenty or so places, along
with a lot of other items...  By the way, you don't need the skeleton key
its just rather handy.

I have just completed two of the paths.  Yeesh, Chaos is a pain, I wish he
would leave me alone.  Yeah, right.  I fight the knights face to face.
I have the front two attacking and while waiting for their weapons to be
readied again, I have the back two casting heal potions...  (It takes afew)
I never even look until I hear em fall to the ground.

Another help, poison clouds and balls work best on almost all monsters, especially dragons.  Look for the lock picks.  They'll save you alot of keys.

Overall, I would suggest high level characters.  Give you a tiny feeling of 
security.  I have Master level everything, top char has around 800 hitpts.
AND STILL I get wiped out without batting an eye.  Save the game, FREQUENTLY.

Good-luck,   Mark
