Starting Speech

"In my vision I beheld the ultimate horror: the Angel Of Death. It is an unstoppable force that will destroy everything in its path! If my Enemies, the Dakini, reach it before me, our fate is sealed."

Setting

This is the fith level in Populous, this is the first level that is timed in Single Player. You start with a Shaman and and four warriors. You are on an island with a Stone Head, a Totem Pole and a Guard Tower. Next to your island is a very small island with many wildmen and a Totem Pole.

In front of the Totem Pole on your island is another island with two blue training huts, a Stone Head and a Totem Pole. The Totem Pole is in front of a much bigger island with a Dakini village on it protecting a Gargoyle.

When the timer reaches zero, the Dakini shaman will worship the Gargoyle causing you to lose the level.

Enemy tribes: Dakini

Worship Objects:

Item Shots Spell/Effect Follower Count
Stone Head 4 Convert 1
Stone Head 1 Landbridge 1
Totem Pole Landbridge 6
Totem Pole Boat 1
Totem Pole Landbridge 1
Gargoyle Angel of Death raid

Strategy

The most common strategy is to send your shaman to the Guard Tower and one warrior to the Stone Head. When you have at least one Convert spell, convert a few wildmen on the small island and command them to worship the Totem Pole. A boat will appear where you can send a brave to pick up your shaman and three warriors. Train one brave and one warrior into two preachers using the Temple on the other island. Send them back into the boat and travel round the island with the Dakini village on until you arrive at the Dakini Warrior Training Hut.

Distract the nearby enemy followers with Swarm then use your followers to guard the Shaman while she worships the Gargoyle. It does not take long to worship the Gargoyle, once she has worshipped it you can watch the Angel of Death kill the Dakini shaman and win the level.

Note

  • This level is timed.
