Could you please provide some advice on how to complete the 4th mission for the Dark Elves (first part of Heroes of Might and Magic V)? I can’t seem to make any progress; I only manage to capture two castles, and then I’m attacked from three directions. I fend off a couple of attacks, but then a hero of level 19-20 appears and easily destroys the rest of my army. :confused:

Please tell me how to complete the 4th mission for the dark elves (1st part of Heroes V). I can't do anything, I only capture 2 castles and then I'm attacked from 3 sides. I fend off a couple of attacks, but then a level 19-20 hero appears and easily destroys the remnants of my army.:confused:

I can't seem to figure out how to build an army. After each battle, I run back to replenish my troops, but I still get beaten. Could you please give me some advice?

I completed this mission twice on "Warrior" and "Hero" difficulty levels! Proceed cautiously. Explore all the islands, but don't unnecessarily engage other creatures. Attack neutral creatures only when you need to capture a building, replenish your army, or recruit elves who will join you. Save the game more often. Weigh the pros and cons before attacking.

What are Faidaen's stats?

In the Warrior campaign in version 1.5, I defeat everyone I encounter with almost no losses. Shock Earth and Meteor Shower help a lot. All the Elves join me. The army grows. I haven't returned to Dwellings or Fortress even once. But I decided to play through it again – I think I didn't choose the best route.

I'm not satisfied with how I leveled up my Faidaen. Maybe I'll replay the entire campaign. Instead of Light magic, I've leveled up Chaos, but I can't get Machines. I have all the high-level Chaos spells, except for Armageddon. Attack, defense, and magic are almost the same – around 15. Knowledge is over 20.

I last played with machines and Chaos (as an experiment). Since the chance of getting machines at level 2 is 2%, and in the first mission, there's a hut with the skill right next to the castle. So, I restarted until there were no machines (although the remaining two huts turned out to be useless, so I couldn't save levels). And I got all the Chaos magic in the next mission with three Inferno castles. And in "Siege," I completed it, leaving Faidaen in the capital with a ridiculously small army.

Chaos reigns supreme even without machines, especially when there are several sworn enemies on the battlefield (a rain of arrows with Magic Defense or Spell Resistance). Here, judging by the task, there is nowhere to choose sworn enemies. And I don't have control over the machines.

I leveled up Faidaen quite well. I gave him Light and Chaos magic, as well as luck and leadership skills. And by the 4th mission, I reached level 26. I destroyed everyone without any losses. And I easily defeated Biara in the end!:smile22:

The 4th mission, in my opinion, is the easiest in the campaign. And if you have resurrection, it can be completed with your eyes closed.

And I reached mission 4 with a level 26 hero. I destroyed everyone without any losses. And I easily defeated Biara in the end!!!:smile22:

In version 1.5, the maximum hero level in mission 3 is 24.

I didn't know that I would have to fight Biara there too. For now, everything seems much easier than in the two previous missions. There are almost no losses. Once, the cave lord managed to shoot at the fairies. And an archdevil killed a few dancers. There was no need to fight the archdevils at all, as they were guarding a useless artifact for this mission. But I fought them.

That's absolutely true!!! It's the easiest and simplest. The most difficult is the last mission of the Ranger, "Greater Vampire"! But I also completed it easily. :)

In version 1.5, the maximum hero level in the 3rd mission is 24.

I don't remember exactly, 26 or 24, but I was playing version 1.4!

Off-topic, of course, but “Greater Vampire” was easy for me... But I spent a long time and struggled with “Emerald”... :(
