Challenge maps

Thanks for the detailed response. Where can I read about the bug that's needed to beat Despondcute? It's a bit strange, as I usually beat Despondcute without using any bugs (I don't really know any bugs besides Berserk, Invisibility, and the Hat). Regarding changing the landscape, with Original Obstacles turned off, I easily beat Hydra, but I couldn't do it on the original landscape. The funny thing is, I was only 1 mana short for the last Slow spell. If Foulstep had 62 mana instead of 60 (for example, 5 Knowledge and base Intelligence), I would have beaten that fight on the original landscape as well. On the modified map, I easily found a spot where the Hydra moves back and forth while I blast it with Titan's Lightning. I turned off random events when capturing Inferno (Tormentor). With random events, I think I would have had to try it for 2 days straight. Also, the second Dragonslayer fight is beaten on the first try without random events, but with random events, it takes about 20-30 tries for the dragons to fly the way I need them to. In general, I just need to beat Tazara, and I'll be quite happy. But I still don't plan on beating the final battles – these fights are definitely not for amateurs like me. However, I'm stuck on Tazara for now. If I had 100 more mana, I would beat him. But no matter how I try, I still have about 120-130 halflings left. As a result, he can't do anything to me because he's locked in the castle without ammunition, and I can't do anything to him because I have "0" mana. This jerk won't agree to a draw. And I have no idea where I can save 100 mana during this fight. I thought maybe there was some bug that would allow me to shoot halflings with a catapult? :D It turns out I'm just doing something wrong. Although I have to admit, I beat the battles like a peasant – I usually use the most primitive method possible.
