After reading the hint:
You don't need to kill Balrog. Just let him go to the nearest town. He will fall into the abyss himself. Free Galadriel. She has the Clone spell.

and also the events:
Balrog! A demon of the ancient world! A spirit of fire swathed in dark shadows!

Stop! The Demon is invincible!

The only way to defeat the monster: with intelligence!

Gandalf: I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor.
The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun!

Follow Balrog and go to hell!!!

Instead of attacking Balrog (since he had a lot of troops, 5000 Phoenixes and about the same number of Archdevils or just Devils), I jumped into his town "Balrog Dungeon" and spent the night there. Balrog disappeared. I would have beaten him, but I don't have the Vulnerability Sphere yet to blind the Phoenixes, and I don't have the Clone spell.

Then another event.

Gandalf: Go back to the Shadow! You shall not pass!
I'm wondering why he disappeared in just one day without a town.

I'm attaching the save file. https://yadi.sk/d/5XOwV8tv3K6W8x

I welcome the translation, and thank you in advance for the translation.

It's purely a scripted event – a guard mission. He doesn't even need to be killed (the plot mirrors the film).

I beat Witch King 2; the battle wasn't difficult. I positioned the archers so that a few liches remained, so they wouldn't do much damage, then I killed the flying and ground units, resurrected my own, and killed the remaining liches. I freed Galadriel and received a Clone or Phantom, which is very useful when there are many Archangels :)

Another tip: Free Trebeard. Send him to fight in the first wave against Saruman. If he fails, finish Saruman yourself.

Hello everyone!

I beat Witch King 2; the battle wasn't difficult. I calculated the number of archers so that a few Liches would remain, so they wouldn't shoot too hard. Then, after killing the flying and foot units and resurrecting my own, I killed the remaining Liches. I freed Galadriel and got Clone or Phantom, which is very useful when there are many Archangels :)

Another hint: Free Trebeard. Send him to fight in the first wave with Saruman. If he fails, finish Saruman yourself.

Not quite. If Trebeard dies, finish Saruman yourself.

Hello everyone. I'm currently playing through the Paragon map, and I found the dungeon where Yora is located, but I need to open the guard, and the guard requires 8 Archdevils. I have 7, but I don't know where to find the last one. I definitely remember getting these: 1) From the Seer in Northvale. 2) On the water in the far northeast (where Josephine was). 3) In the dungeon with the Ifrit pits. 4) Behind the Seer who requires 1500 of each resource. 5) Behind the mill on the way to the Archmage, near the whirlpool. 6) On the swamp, near the place where we free Okulina. 7) By going through the red portal with Alondo, I end up in a place with 2 more monoliths for exits (red and brown). But I don't know where to find the last one. Please tell me the last spawn location. Or how to get an Archdevil through cheats, or some other way.

The author can respond to you here or on HeroesPortal. And if they don't respond, you can use the ProspectorRT utility.

Thank you very much for the translation! It's a pity that no one is playing through The Lord of the Rings anymore.

Question for everyone: I use the Heroes of Might and Magic III map editor, final version. Is there anything more user-friendly?

Try the HotA editor – it seems pretty good (although I use the SoD one). I sent Wog with all its features to the trash.

What exactly do you mean by "more user-friendly"? For what specific actions? If you need to get information about objects, spells, etc., use ProspectorRT, link above. For creating and editing your own maps, there is an offline version that is more convenient than the standard SoD/WoG editor: link.

Marmot Let's say, for example, the same Pandora's Boxes. To sift through what's inside (experience, artifact, or something else interesting) and to make sure no enemies jump out, you have to click not only through the tabs but also within the tab itself. Also, for events, cities, and heroes. Is there a map editor where, if you want to view an object, for example, the information is displayed immediately without having to click the mouse?
Thanks for the link to the SoD/WoG editor; I'll check it out.

dnaop-wr Thank you, I'll look for it online and download it.

Pandora's Boxes, events, and other things – you can find out about all of this using the ProspectorRT utility. There is a description at the link. I'm attaching a screenshot. The table can be easily sorted by any column, hovering the cursor over the text displays the full text, and the column width can be changed as you like. However, ProspectorRT analyzes not the map in general, but a specific arrangement in the selected save file, and you will find out what is actually contained in each chest and everything else.

A standalone editor is unlikely to be found. Install the HotA add-on on top of SoD – it will include an editor. It recognizes both versions of maps, while the SoD editor does not. And it opens maps of 252x252.

Marmot Thank you, I must admit I downloaded this program yesterday, but I didn't think much of it at first. However, after taking a closer look, I realized it's actually a useful tool.

I'd like to ask not only you but everyone. Mapmakers often use a trick where "paths" are hidden. Some people might like this (and tastes differ), but are there any programs that can "reveal" these "invisible paths"? Experienced players know, for example, that maps with three or more bodies of water, various objects, or volcanoes often have hidden paths. And even in swampy areas, mapmakers can create such intricate designs that it's not even enjoyable to play, I just prefer to play standard missions where I don't encounter such "clever" tricks. How do you deal with these problems?

To add to that, they also hide objects and artifacts. :D
Just a little more attention and less zooming out – and everything will be visible everywhere. ;)

Has anyone here played/is playing Season's maps? I've already completed Way Home and The Lord of Rings. The first one is noticeably easier, and the second is noticeably harder, when comparing them. Now I'm trying my hand at Heroes of Jin Yong. The first day was tough to play in a way that one of the starting heroes wouldn't be killed on the third day :) I've reached the beginning of the second in-game month, defeated two opponents near the starting sandy area (Inferno and Stronghold), but I still feel like I'm in a volcano. I've saved Xiedu for later.

It would be interesting to discuss The Lord of Rings. Some moments were genuinely challenging: the battle with Zidar, the battle with Gunnar, accumulating the required number of Wizards to break through Stig. Of the final battles, Tazar was particularly tricky. I'm sure that my tactics in these and many other cases were far from optimal, but this map is rarely discussed, unfortunately, as are the other Season's maps. Although there is a lot to discuss there.
