Micah,

Hmmm... It is odd how different folks can play the same game and find different parts harder. I blew right through the High Summoner level, like a ginsu blade through cheesecake, and never even had the help from Christiana Knight and Co. (I found them in the very last room I visited.) I think that a big chunk of the reason I had it easy might be twofold:
1.) By chance, I chose a route that led me fairly directly to the high summoners' chamber.
2.) By habit, I pause the game immediately after completing an action; so that I can think in peace about what to do next.

I think that these two choices colluded to make it appear (from the in-game perspective) like I made a bee-line to the high summoners' chamber and immediately toasted them. --- (Heh, heh, short stops along the way to kill Sharra and very RUDELY interrupt a snake banquet.) There were three guys in the summoners room - don't know how many of them were actually doing the summoning. --- Anyway, as a consequence, the first wave of snakes and "peace-loving" invisible "priests" (or whatever they were) was, by far, the hardest part of this level for me; and it wasn't nearly as hard as the battle with Yux. After I got through the first wave, I didn't have to fight many summoned creatures; and the ones I did encounter were in very small groups.
