Zone in at the dead side and yell for someone to guide you. The hand's
spawns are well timed so if it's camped, you're ok. You also will need
invis vs. undead and the bedroom to be camped (vampiric bats see through
both invis). BTW, the hand is not undead so she will see through invis
undead. And you CAN'T stack both. So if the hand spawns and you're
there, don't even think about anything, you're dead 100%. Just try to
grab the rod before you die so you'll drag your corpse with the rod.

This was really easy. Nothing there can see through invis except the
IBS' who are all too green to attack anyway.

Any suicide run through Guk will only end in death. There is 0 chance of
you just running through since the place has a lot of spellcasters, and
many are on your way to the hand room. Most of them are inside.
