and following the path given in [Restless dead - it's restless - #18 by xython](https://discourse.codecombat.com/t/restless-dead-its-restless/16228/18)

```python
As a tip for any level without a default code:
1. Make a plan and break it into pieces
2.Choose a free hero (for complex ones you have more opportunities for mistakes)
3.Solve the problem step by step

```

I tried to complete Summit gate without casualties.  
I have Twilight glasses so i ran this code:

```python
var es = hero.findEnemies();
for (var i = es.length; --i > -1;){
    var e = es[i]; 
    console.log("e#" + i + " " + e.type + " " + e.id + ": " + e.health + e.pos );
}  
// console output: 
// e#30 door Sanctum Gate: 600{x: 288.00, y: 32.75, z: 4.00} 
// e#29 door Inner Gate: 300{x: 158.00, y: 32.75, z: 4.00} 
// e#28 door Outer Gate: 300{x: 100.00, y: 33.25, z: 4.00}
// e#19 catapult Catapult 1: 140{x: 92.18, y: 6.84, z: 1.00}
// e#0 catapult Catapult: 140{x: 92.10, y: 60.30, z: 1.00}
// + many enemies

```

- So my first goal was to:
- Destroy the catapults
- Defeat the enemies , but without destroying the door
- Summon archers
- Heal the hero  
As a break condition i use the fact there are 3 enemies remaining, The Outer , The Inner and The Sanctum gates

/_Click on the gifs to see animation_/

This was my **first while(true) loop**:

 ![summit-gate-01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/3X/e/0/e022b20070b2f295b632f8008845d9c63bf4b35a.gif)

- Destroy Outer Gate

- Destroy the beam towers

- Defeat the enemies , but without destroying the door

- Heal the hero

- Break condition: 2 gates remaining  
**Second loop** :  

- Destroy Inner Gate

- Command the warriors between The Inner and The Sanctum Gate to defeat the nearby enemies

- All paladins , archers and the hero to gather at some point without attacking the warlocks

- Break condition: 1 gate and 2 warlocks remaining, all units ready to fight at predefined positions  
**Third loop** :  

- Defeat all enemies

- Collect coins

- Hide archers and paladins

- Heal hero

- Break condition: 1 gate remaining  
**fourth loop** - no animation available , cannot squeeze video to 4MB, only pictures:  

Fifth loop : pass the level

I checked the solutions in the Leader Board for 2 days to see how the recent users have completed the level. So my findings are:  
From **18** successful submissions:  
2 users have solved the level without flags.  
2 users have solved the level with flags.  
1 level doesn’t work  
1 level fails with Infinite Loop Detected  
**12** users have the same code stolen from internet

Nice to be name checked in the title, but I don’t think I should get any credit.

Thanks for the post @xython, it’s a lovely structure, and I always learn stuff from the things that you write.

Interesting stats for how people complete the level. Too many questions, but perhaps your ‘No comment’ is wisest.

Maybe because you wrote `enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()` instead of `enemies = hero.findEnemies()` Because you write a `for`.

i always die at the beam tower  
and did you mean this:

```
for enemy in hero.findEnemies():
    if enemy.type == "catapult":
        while enemy.health > 0:
            hero.attack(enemy)

you can use any hero as long as you have decent health and a good strategy
