Regarding the walkthrough! I've been playing this mission for several days now! There's just one "STUPID" reason why I can't progress:
I can't find the red keymaster to unlock the RED gates! The pink keymaster is located at the beginning of the mission, but I haven't found a use for him either((( there are no pink gates anywhere, and the red gates won't let me through! They ask for a key, which I DON'T HAVE!!!(((!!!
PEOPLE, please help me unlock these red gates, PLEASE!!!

P.S. I think I've explored the entire map, searched the entire underground world, I dug up the "Tear of Ashi" a long time ago, and I sent the opponent to his ancestors a long time ago

Regarding the walkthrough! I've been playing this mission for several days now! For one simple, "STUPID" reason:
I can't find the red keymaster to open the RED gates! The pink keymaster is located at the very beginning of the mission, but I haven't found a use for him either((( there are no pink gates anywhere, and the red ones won't let me through! They ask for a key that DOESN'T EXIST!!!(((!!!
PEOPLE, help me open these red gates, PLEASE!!!

P.S. I think I've explored the entire map, searched the entire underground world, I dug up the "Tear of Ash" a long time ago, I sent the opponent to his ancestors a long time ago, but... I still can't open the gates!(! Help me in any way you can, please!

Good day, dear DiKarb.
And why are you looking for a red keymaster? I didn't find him either. It seems to be a bug - perhaps they mixed up the red and pink keymasters in the mission, so you can't get through the red gates: "at least I didn't find a red keymaster."
But you don't even need to run around the mission - to complete it, you only need to complete two main tasks: "Build the Mother of Darkness (Tear of Ash) in Virbeth" and "Destroy all opponents." After completing these two tasks, the mission ends in victory.

Expansion
Second Mission

Backstory: Railag, leader of the Shadow-Branded clan, hopes to unite all the fragmented clans into a single powerful state. Prudent and cautious, Railag decides to properly prepare for the execution of such a grandiose task.

Main Mission Objectives:

Visit Malassa's daughter
No one doubts the fate of a clan that was doomed to fade away. Strong neighbors cannot accept the emergence of a new leader, even one who won the tournament.
Railag needs advice, and the mighty daughter of Malassa can help him best.
Build the Mother of Darkness in Virbet
The Tear of Ashka installed in the city provides the opportunity to build the Mother of Darkness — a legendary structure. Thanks to it, the power and magical strength of the city increase, making the city unusually powerful and prosperous.
The goal is clear — Railag must build the Mother of Darkness in his new capital, Virbet.
Capture the cities of the Shards of Darkness
The Shards of Darkness clan has long coveted the lands of the Shadow-Branded, and Railag's attack on the border outpost only gave them a free hand. Now Railag must act quickly and decisively. By capturing the cities of the Shards of Darkness, he will be able to seize the initiative from the enemy and prepare for the coming trials.
Destroy the Shards of Darkness army
The moment of truth always comes when you least expect it. The Shards of Darkness have sent a huge army to end the Shadow-Branded once and for all.
Now Railag must defeat the enemy army, otherwise inevitable death awaits him.
Shadia must survive
While achieving the set goals, Shadia must survive to help Railag fulfill his purpose and continue the work started.
Railag must survive
While achieving the set goals, Railag must survive to continue the work started.

Secondary Mission Objectives:

Stop the enemy messengers
The Shards of Darkness clan, having lost its first city, has panicked, and this is a good sign. But there is a downside — now the enemy will surely try to seek help from their allies, and fighting the powerful Stern Hearts clan is not currently in Railag's plans. The messengers following the road northeast to the lands of the Stern Hearts clan must be stopped at all costs!
Destroy the army of the Stern Hearts clan {in case aid arrives for the Shards of Darkness}
The moment of truth always comes when you least expect it. The Stern Hearts have sent a huge army to end the upstart once and for all.
If Railag can repel them, he will be able to continue his struggle; if he loses, death awaits him.

Walkthrough:
To start, move through the dungeon to the prophet's hut, which is open on the mini-map at the start of the mission. We will be given a new task: "Build the Mother of Darkness in Virbet". Near the "Prophet's Hut" is the "Hut of the Brown Key Keeper" (although it looks quite pink). The key is guarded by ~ 21 Earth Elementals, but if your army is already ready to deal with them, you can capture the key keeper. Looking at the door of the prophet's hut, there is a staircase from the dungeon to the left — that is where you need to go. After defeating the monsters, enter the teleport — the first obelisk is there. Now return and head south of the map to the first garrison. After capturing the garrison, a new task will appear: "Capture the cities of the Shards of Darkness". From there, everything depends on your game tactics. In the attachments, there will be an enlarged mini-map of this map; using it, you can easily find all the obelisks (marked with a cross) and fully open the puzzle map. In some dungeons (the entrance to the dungeons is marked on the mini-map with a staircase + a number connecting the Surface and the Dungeon), there are cities of that same enemy. One day after capturing the first enemy city, the "Stop the Messengers" task will appear, and then a new hero will appear, who also must not be lost. Again, everything depends on your game tactics. The main thing is to complete the tasks: "Destroy the enemy" and "Build the Mother of Darkness in Virbet" — after completing these two tasks, the mission will be passed.

killed everyone, found all the pillars, but still can't find where the grail is buried !!!!!

I can't even determine the area from the drawing !!!!

help !!!!!The thing is that the location of the grail is randomly generated, so no one can tell you the exact spot. During two separate walkthroughs of the mission, the grail was in different places.
The grail is indeed difficult to find using this very unremarkable riddle-map—furthermore, it's drawn from a camera angle that is impossible to achieve by available means.

Try to find some notable features on the riddle-map: the number of trees, some kind of stone. There is even a plus side to this: "Is it easy to find treasure with an old map? No, and it's just as hard here :)"
Keep looking; I think after about 15 minutes of struggle, you will find the grail.

ok, thanks!

tell me, is the layout of the puzzle map always consistent?
i.e., north is at the top, south is at the bottom, or are rotations possible?

Okay, thanks!

Tell me, is the location of the puzzle map always fixed?
I mean, is north always at the top and south at the bottom, or are rotations possible?

I think so, although I can only judge based on the statistics of the 2 times I played in "Expansion".

Thank you for your help, I figured it out. The key is pink, and the gate is also pink, so the key worked without any problems.

This is what I received in a private message (I hope Krivol doesn't mind)!

So, Admin and I have licensed versions and different keys, while others have pirated versions and...)))
What is going on?
Admin, you're an expert! How is that possible?

Everything became clear. In the licensed version 1.0, everything was fine. But after installing patch 1.1, the tent in this mission now becomes (brown) [presumably, this is a mechanical error by Nival when creating the patch]{even though the patch fixes errors, it also has some of its own:):)} - this has already been reported to the developers, and we hope that everything will be fixed in the next patch.

Yeah, it turned out pretty cool))) The fix for the bugs "infected" with new problems)))

Thanks, you clarified the situation, otherwise I was already starting to worry about the quality of the licenses "of today"!

And when is patch 1.2 scheduled for release??? How soon after the release will it be available on this site??? How much will it weigh? Will it include the first patch??? Because downloading 40 MB via modem was quite expensive and took a long time(((

Thanks, you clarified the situation; otherwise, I would have started worrying about the quality of today’s licenses!

The topic of the patch is completely different and shouldn't be discussed here. I think it's better to go here: /topic/78/ There you can find everything that the developers said about future patches.

That’s exactly the point: the location of the Grail is generated randomly, so no one can say its exact location. During the walkthrough of the mission, the Grail was in different places twice.
It is indeed difficult to find the Grail using this very unremarkable puzzle map – and it is also made at an angle that cannot be achieved with available methods.

I spent half an hour digging through the topics to find an answer to my similar question, and here it is. What a consolation...:D
On that, shall we say, "map," you can only see some kind of leafy bush on one side of the road and the same, but dried one, on the other. And after my attempts, the area already looks like they were digging for potatoes in a collective farm field...
And the worst thing is that, in general, this artifact is no longer needed; I have defeated everyone and captured everything... just for the sake of it (in the sense of completing the quest). Okay, I'm going to just do some digging. :).

To ensure that the excavation work proceeds successfully, it is advisable to hire all available heroes and systematically dig the ground until "Nothing here" is replaced with "It's somewhere to the north (south, etc.)". Then, gather all the hero-farmers and collectively plow the area.)))
In general, it's convenient to hire a large number of heroes from the very beginning – let them explore the territory (discover new areas). This way, the enemy won't sneak up unnoticed, and you won't lose any heroes to him. Otherwise, they run around in large groups, and it's scary to leave the castle.

Hi everyone!
Version 1.2 licensed. Here's the situation. I killed a level 9 hero, and on the same turn Shadya joined me. Shadya appeared on the road near the town, apparently because there was already a hero in the town. She immediately appeared automatically in exchange mode with that hero, but that's not the point. The thing is, after this, I cannot buy in any town either the aforementioned slain level 9 hero or any other regular level 1 hero — the purchase button is not active, even though I have the gold! Has anyone experienced this? How to fix it? I have only 4 heroes in total, including Railag and Shadya.
I killed another enemy level 4 hero a couple of days later that same week and was able to buy him right away. But after buying him, I again couldn't buy that same ill-fated unpurchasable pair of heroes. :-( Maybe it will fix itself with the start of the new week when new heroes appear, but I would like to buy that decent one with level 9.
Thank you!

I've tried different approaches. First, I gathered troops for two weeks, moved up, but the Rust Dragons kept coming one after another, and they also flee the battlefield, the bastards. I can handle them three or four times, but then they overwhelm me.
I tried using the starting army – it's the same, I don't have time to reach his castle – they keep coming and destroying my army much faster than I can replenish it.
Tell me, do I need to leave troops at the gates, and how do I deal with them in general?
