Another question - how do I get through the 2 walls of fire? I approached with water elementals and without them - it doesn't make a difference, it won't let me pass. What should I do?
Okay, sorry, I've almost passed it - I defeated the brown one without Phoenixes, lured him out of the castle, managed to jump in there myself and create mini-artifacts for everyone: health, initiative, and defense. I survived thanks to the golems, of which there were almost 500 at the beginning of the battle, and about 130 remained, they damaged the entire rest of the army. Then I found out that the Temple is not the flooded one, but the one that is the Sanctuary, opposite the fort on the hill. Then you need to swim to the prophet's hut on the island, and he will give you 40 Phoenixes. By the way, where you recruit the elementals, also on the island, 200 more water creatures joined me.
But I still can't get past the fire border and complete the secondary quest "Gift of Life" - what is the Evil that needs to be defeated? How do I get past the border? Help!
