I went to the Imaginarium, and there was an Archmage (Naerod) with a large army. I read the event:
“- Bravo, Mograine! I am impressed! - said the Archmage, as the gates of the Imaginarium opened, - You have overcome all difficulties and obstacles and still achieved your goal. Magnificent!
- I wouldn't say it was very easy. You know that this is our last meeting, and you know how it will end.
- How it will end depends on you.
- Do you think I have a choice? Erianna must take your place. Then we can finally stand against Ashwing.
- I'm sure you've been advised to trust Invincion less, but it was he, if you think about it, who imposed the idea of war with the Black Hive on you. But who am I to give advice to the Incarnation of Perfection, as you are now called... The One Witness: you need the help of Erianna and the mages. However, I suggest that for once, we end this peacefully.
- Are you just going to give us the Imaginarium? - Mograine raised his eyebrows.
- Oh, if it were up to me, I would have been gone from here a long time ago. But, as you can see, some circumstances prevented me from leaving.
- Etheria.
- Exactly. And here is my offer: you will destroy this malicious spirit of magic, open the way for me, and allow me to leave. In return, I swear that I will never hinder you again. Moreover, I will release Erianna's students...
- Don't listen to him. He's trying to get rid of you, - the sorceress interjected.
- Only Mograine can handle her. If you accept my offer, your task is to kill Etheria, open the way to the portal for me, and not interfere with my movement. If not... do what you must, Perfect One."
Question: Well, Etheria has been defeated again. If I give him a "green light" to leave, will I be able to complete the game without taking his artifacts? He is strong, has many archers, and he has the Artifact of Firm Memory, which prevents the archers from being forgotten. Or should I gather strength and beat the Archmage? Please advise, those who have played. Thank you in advance for your answers/advice.
If anyone wants to fight the Archmage, here is the save.
