How do I leave Mangar's Tower Level 5?
The Bard's Tale Wiki says you need to use APAR except the level is magically sealed so APAR doesn't work, am I missing something here?

Just go to a space that doesn't have an antimagic field on it and you can teleport out.

Should be able to APAR to the entrance

I've tried several places on the level and I always get the same message "Merlin tries to cast Apport Arcane but the dungeon level seems to be magically protected".

I'm not standing on an antimagic field square when I try it.

You cannot teleport INTO level 4 and 5 of Mangar's Tower, this is working as intended. You can however teleport OUT OF those levels into any spot of Level 1-3. So, just APAR down to the exit stairs.

Oh wow, I didn't know you could teleport from one level to the other, I thought it only worked within the same level and here I am at the final fight, lol. No wonder I thought the game was really hard and a drag at times. Thanks Bjoern.

You likely were using APAR on the journal map. If you cast APAR manually, you will be asked to enter a vector (Y, X, Z). So if you are on Level 5 of Mangar's tower, in spot 11,11 you would enter -11 -11 -5 to reach spot 0,0. Note that BT is a bit weird as the coordinates are listed as Y X Z instead of X Y Z.

Yes I was, I never casted the spell directly from the spell book.

It's ok to use the journal APAR, I prefer it myself, so if you go back to Mangar level 5 you have to teleport to the magic mouth on level 3 and say the 7 words, then make your way to the stairs for the 4th level and then to the 5th level on foot. And as Bjoern says, to exit, open your journal and click the APAR button and put the cursor on Level 1 stairs, bottom left corner on level 1.

You can also change the level of the dungeon you are looking at by clicking the "Stairs Up" or "Stairs Down" icon at the top of the journal. This way you can APAR to any level that is not protected without needing to figure the coordinates.

Actually, you can look at any dungeon level you have explored, even in OTHER dungeons! Just like if you had the maps on paper in front of you and you were flipping through.

You cannot teleport outside of the dungeon you are currently in, however.

Sir, you just made my day!
There should be an indicator of this feature inside the game. Had I known it before, I would have saved a lot of time (and spell points :P ).

I also only started using the APAR from the journal map after finishing the game. It makes it A LOT easier to use, instead of figuring out the coordinates and typing them in manually :taloslol:

I did it manually for a bit too before trying through the journal. What a relief it was after seeing the journal way was different :D
