Try to put al these things:

If you put `else` infront of `if`, the `if` won’t run at all.

If you need help then please post your code into the forum from the game, and paste it inbetween two lines of ``` because that will format the code.

Wazi, your code is fine but there is a big mistake,

> [@wazi](#):
>
> ```python
> enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
> enemyMissiles = hero.findEnemyMissiles()
> hazards = hero.findHazards()
> hero.findNearest(hero.findEnemies())
> item = hero.findNearestItem()
> for enemy in enemies:
> while True:
> if enemy:
> if enemy.type != "sand-yak":
> hero.attack(enemy)
> if hazards or enemyMissiles:
> hero.shield()
> if hero.health < 400:
> # Health is low–retreat!
> while True:
> hero.shield()
> else:
> # Health is fine. Fight!
> hero.attack(enemy)
> 
> ```

Firstly, these and the for loop should be inside the while true loop.

> [@wazi](#):
>
> ```python
> enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
> enemyMissiles = hero.findEnemyMissiles()
> hazards = hero.findHazards()
> hero.findNearest(hero.findEnemies())
> item = hero.findNearestItem()
> 
> ```

Secondly,

> [@wazi](#):
>
> ```python
> if hazards or enemyMissiles:
> hero.shield()
> 
> ```

Once you see a long-range enemy’s missile you will stop attacking and keep shielding but nobody is going to help you defeat the enemy.  
Thirdly, you are not collecting mushrooms, btw mushrooms in this level can heal you.  
Also you can try using flags.  
Hope this helps. Oh, and are you a sub, wazi?

If you are a sub, you can gain access to 50000 gems at first to buy better armor as health is really important at this level.
