==Underwater tunnel 3, part A==
The constant plant spawns by Genetrix can make life on UT3 a bit dangerous. While the normal carnivorous plants are not a threat, it does not take long for greater plants to start spawning. Upon entering the level, ditch your peels if they still haven't rotted away for some unarmed training, but keep real weapons close. Greater plants are rather dangerous in large numbers without anything to block their attacks with. If you haven't yet found body armor and/or a cloak, make exploring the level quickly your priority. If you find Genetrix's room, leave her be for now.
As the plants can only spawn next to you, try to keep the amount of spawnable squares as low as possible as you make your way through the level. This is especially important when facing greater plants: you will not want to be stuck in middle of 8 of them by having them spawn while standing in an open room. When two or more different variants spawn, always kill the weakest one first, then reposition to only take on one at a time to minimize incoming damage.
If you need to rest but are unable to head back upstairs for some reason, you can use a wand of door creation to close yourself off from the rest of the level. If there are no spawnable squares next to you, there won't be any plant spawns. Lacking a wand, even a dead-end tunnel is better than a random corridor or room.
Once you reach unarmed skill around 6-7 or start facing too much greater plants, head back up to New Attnam. You're now ready to get the belt of levitation.
==Sumo Wrestler==
Once you reach NA again, if you haven't got enough bananas left to get you to bloated + about 20 extra, kick some more until you do. Grab all the bananas, and head to sumo's house. Drop one banana 8 squares south from his door, then one 4 squares away, then one on the door. Get inside and while the sumo runs out after the banana trail, vomit 14 times on the spot he usually stands on. You shouldn't lose strength doing this. Once the sumo comes back, eat up to bloated and wait. The sumo's legs will start dissolving. Once he panics or loses both legs, challenge him by going downstairs. The fight will be very easy. Drop the shirt Decos gives you somewhere, equip the belt and head back to UT3.
==Underwater tunnel 3, part B==
If you managed to explore the whole level before heading back to NA, there isn't a lot left for you to do here. If you didn't, keep exploring.
Some people like leaving Genetrix alive for training on the spawning plants, but personally I can't be bothered with it. If you wish, you can skip her for now by just flying over the sea from the NA island and come back later with proper gear. If you don't, head to her room now. The fight should not be too difficult if you've found at least a troll hide armor, cloak and some weapons, but can be a hassle if you haven't. Kill the two greater plants near the entrance first, then focus on beating Genetrix herself. If you take enough damage to go red, back off and heal up before continuing. Wands of lightning and acid rain are useless against plants, but striking and fireballs works if you're really lacking in equipment. You can also confuse the plants by throwing and breaking a bottle of vodka or valdemar on them, causing them to fight against each other. Lacking everything, remember that you can always just skip her with the belt of levitation.
Once Genetrix is dead, finish off the rest of the plants in her room, eat up to barely satiated if necessary and head up to deliver the encrypted scroll to Petrus in Attnam.
