4 months, 1 day, 1 week - he hasn't come even once.
What's good is:
29 Bloodeyes and 38 Cyclops with clubs, 113 Green Geese, 186 Wolf Riders, 210 Yellow Shamans, 481 Orcs with clubs. The number of Battle Centaurs under Pure Rage won't decrease or become manageable in any way - I'll keep trying, he'll come and kill them eventually, but for now, I haven't touched them; Haggeesh keeps running around and providing experience. I acquired more artifacts, but the levels are lacking - they gave me 4 levels in a row that were not very good, but the garrison with the mentor is still strong.
Dwellings are the same as before, levels 1-5, hero level 28, https://c2n.me/3ZEzrFJ, army
4 Cave Demons, 32 Horses, 58 Succubi, 54 Dogs, 154 Demons, 164 Imps, two Outer Dwellings, levels 1-2, artifacts https://c2n.me/3ZEzo5O (Haggeesh and Tilshek stopped bringing artifacts; they only carry experience, and that's enough).
A boring level-up. But the Orc Chieftain hasn't come even once because the Castle is still alive; he's hanging out at his place, herding geese :)
And what about this https://c2n.me/3ZEzy25? Should it be in the Guild of Mages??? I've never seen it before.
//Since the screenshot will disappear in a month, it's a Chaos spell called "Devil's Strike" in the Guild of Mages.
I defeated the mentor's guard with 70 Succubi and 18 Imps, losing the latter and 26 Succubi. I only used Blindness (80%+ of the battle, the hero only blinded), one Phantom from the staff, and once at the very end, Grief and Disruption Ray. I defeated the Dark Elf army of the 3rd tier: 24/60/120/240/420/450/600. However, without the Phantom, I could have almost achieved the same result by destroying the Crystal of Secrets. Even with Blindness, you can still get something out of it :)
As with the previous 5 levels, the suggested skill is useless, but this is a battle for the mentor, so it doesn't matter.
The mentor comes with a Necromancer's Cloak and 6 Cave Goblins. In general, the gameplay revolves around defense and killing Haggeesh for experience (to the extent that the main Orc is herding geese at his place).
He won't come to you. As long as you don't touch the Brown and Purple, he'll hang out at his place. As soon as you attack them, he comes out of his lair.
I played through mentorship, leveled up my main character to 31, and then in the Castle, I only bought Necromancers and Dark Elves (they have the most spells) and used Darkness and Chaos to take them down one by one. It turns out to be very easy.
If you want to be sure to complete it, it's better to restart the map each time until you find Darkness on the map (the artifact is not far from the Castle, where the dragons are). And then everything will be fine
