Get used to seeing totem poles because there are lots of them on this level. The first is directly to the right of your reincarnation site. Start praying at it using only your shaman when you finish lava will flow out and make a path for you, as soon as you can.
First, to begin the level, turn off all spells except convert, and convert any wildmen in the general area. Next send your braves down to the large flat area jutting out into the water (with all the trees, in the lower right of the world map). Have your braves quickly build a small camp, with several huts as well as a preacher and warrior hut this should be a strong camp.

Now you're going to need to begin charging landbridge and blast and for a very good reason. The first Dakini attack will be coming soon, so you need to also train 4 or 5 of both warriors and preachers. The landbridge is very important in this level, waste no time in charging it up, but also make sure that enough defenses have been built up before you use all you mana for spells.

Landbridge over to the small island with the obelisk. Start praying to receive the four landbridge spells it grants you. Watch your base carefully. The Dakini will be sending their first attack soon and you need to be ready.

The Dakini comes in two boats usually sending about four visible followers and about the same number of invisible attackers. The invisible and visible enemies can be stopped with several preachers and a couple warriors dispatched to the shoreline. And of that isn't enough, the shaman can intervene and send them flying with a fireball or two. Several guard towers on the beach (filled with preachers i hope you have done) can help greatly to reveal the few attackers who have been made invisible and escaped your earlier defend. The amount of Dakini followers arriving in the first attack varies from game to game so you must be watching carefully.

Keep watching for Dakini attacks as you do the following steps:

After finishing off the Dakini's attack, now is a good time to get ready to take out all the dakini on the small island nearby by praying at the totem pole. Here's how to do it easiest.
1.Walk your shaman up the hill across the land the first lava flow formed. Stand on the small hill next to the totem pole on the end of the island like shown at left.
2.Throw a landbridge to straighten out the sides forming a canal. Do this on the other side also.
3.Move down into the lower middle-section of the canal and landbridge down the small hump in the middle, making a ramp starting at the stonehead and moving down toward the dakini settlement.
4.Head up to the very end of one side of the ramp (on the high point nearest the Dakini settlement and landbridge across to the hill of equal height on the Dakini's island. Do that on both sides of the ramp. 5.Now move down to the low-part of the ramp closest to the dakini base and landbridge across to the other shore. Your done it
6.Now start praying and watch the goodies.

Bring a couple preachers with you, they will be very useful for the second stage of the level and then the prayers are done! The shaman and company are whisked out of the area and then a flyby starts.

Soon, Dakini braves come rushing to the small island in boats to fix the ruined buildings. Several preachers dispatched at the right locations will help to elevate your population greatly to higher standards. Watch out for enemy task forces made up of other followers who'll try to ruin your preacher's work. Converting these people will put your strength up.

As the braves are converted our problem steadily rises. A large army of braves isn't meant to be made for an all-out assault on the Dakini settlement. Preparation for battle hasn't been completed.  There are much too many braves.

Train all but about 10 braves and make warriors and preachers (unless you want you whole army converted).

At this point of the level you should be charging 4 landbridges and 4 magical shields.
Now landbridge from the Dakini's ex-island to the large one with the totem pole. Once you have done this walk over and connect yourself to the small island with the stonehead. Then connect that island with the one that your base is located on.

Bring your army up to the small what is now ex-Dakini island. But don't bring them to the island with the totem because once it is activated some of them may get caught in the lava flow which would be a pity. Once you have the canal all done, start praying at the artifact. Make sure all hands, feet, swords, and preacher books are out of the way of the lava, and watch as the flow destroys the Dakini settlement!

Move your troops in, spelling swarms and blasts on the incoming enemies. Throw the magical shields on your preachers so their not harmed. Lightning the two guard towers nearby and put your own lightning bolt slaying the enemy shaman and the two towers up there in the corner too.

Now the base is starting to look very pathetic indeed just kill the followers and if necessary use the volcano you have and that should finish them off.
