The map has an interesting bug/feature: Green will not be able to learn fire magic, and turquoise will not be able to learn water magic. As a result, to have all 4 types of magic, you need to play as either Haven or Tower.

DarkT1me, how are you progressing with The Last Crusade? I've been playing for 4 months, and I've conquered all the Barbarian castles except for the one where Boragus is imprisoned. I'm not quite sure what to do next. I used the Mage's Hut to reveal the water and cleared out 4000 trolls in the antimagic garrison. There's a secret passage with 3500 Azure Golems, but it's impossible to pass on the "fanatic" difficulty level. I suspect I need to reach point 125.136.0 with levitation boots, but for that, I need 4302 movement points. Only a logistics specialist can achieve that speed, and I don't have one. My maximum speed with all the upgrades is 3900. Summoning a ship while standing in the antimagic garrison also doesn't work. Any ideas?

He finally figured it out. There’s a reason there’s an oasis nearby.

Yes, you're on the right track. In 6.1.1, the purple castle will open, and you'll need to conquer it, then rescue the hero with the Grail on the cross before the purple castle dies without a castle.
After that, I dealt with the pink castle and am now stuck in a situation where either my strongest hero ends up on the Grail's cross, or I just wait for the orange castle to arrive =(

Near the oasis, there are prophecy maps and a lucky dove. With a cheat for infinite turns, you can reach these points. But I don't know how to accumulate that many turns.

I collected the prophecy cards and lucky dove artifacts using the Angel Wings. I didn't wait for the purple faction; instead, I captured the last castle, and Boragus and Kilgor remained in their prisons. Now, I'm wondering how to reach the demons.

Kilgor is definitely not a mandatory target, but Boragus might have done something. I'm also stuck with the wings right now; I don't know where to go.

I'm communicating with the author; he says he has problems with the fact that the AI doesn't spend the 10,000 resources well, which are given to open passages. He will replace the pillars in the update.
With the amount of money, I bought 80 Azure Dragons, which should have gone to the AI for 40,000 Mercury :smile13:

You can kill the Angels by standing with the wings in a Warrior's Grave.

But there wasn't much to expect from Boragus.

Angels can be killed by standing with wings in a warrior's grave.
Yes, I figured that out too.

Now I've made my way to the demons, killed both of them, took the glyph of valor, and visited the brown tent. Let's see what's next.

Marlo_Stanfield, how did you kill 500 Azure Drakes near the Angel Wings? Did you simply send in Cyeli's troops and accept the losses? Or did you cleverly switch places with your main hero?

Marlo_Stanfield, how did you defeat 500 Azure Dragons near the Angel Wings? Did you simply give the troops to Ciele and accept the losses? Or did you cleverly switch the main hero?
I defeated 500 Azure Dragons with my 33 Azure Dragons, flying in and out under the Prayer for Force Field and using resurrection to help. Slowly, but surely. Then I bought another hero nearby in the outer tavern, taking his starting troops. I gave all the Azure Dragons to Ciele and dismissed the main hero with the Angel Wings. On the same turn, I bought out a hero in the far-left citadel and immediately flew back to Ciele, taking the Azure Dragons and learning Clone from the mage along the way.

P.S. Galtran, who appeared out of nowhere and attacked me with 10,000 liches and stats of 70, while I was running through a narrow underground corridor with cursed ground under my feet, completely unaware – that was intense.

P.P.S. There's some serious logistical madness going on further underground. I'm trying to fly around an antimagic garrison with 8,000 trolls, but it seems like on "Fanatic" difficulty, you have to fight them, and that's a one-sided slaughter :smile07:

Impressive! And no losses =) How did you manage without magic?
Alliance of Angels equipment for speed. On the first turn, I sacrificed two Titans to make the trolls move down. Then, I tried to control the battlefield with Azure Dragons, while using the Titans, protected by units with 1 hit point, to eliminate enemies, but either the Azure Dragons were too durable (the trolls almost immediately started ignoring them), or the units with 1 hit point shouldn't be Titans, but rather Djinns, for example, but the trolls kept attacking the ranged units. Therefore, the task was to quickly eliminate one stack (morale and luck helped), and then control one stack with the Titans and either use the Titans' morale or the trolls' fear to finish them off. Although, I could have approached this garrison with the Cursed Armor, but I realized that much later. And, as it turned out, this goes against the author's intention (yes, I also consulted with the author).

Somewhere after this garrison, the map became completely insane in terms of difficulty. I haven't encountered anything like this on any other map. Now I'm trying to find the Book of Air; I've been thinking about it for two days.

I cleared the garrison using your tactics. But the trolls stubbornly don't even go to level 1, and immediately run to the titans. So I decided to regroup the troops.

I reached Charny, and now I'm stuck. I don't understand where to get 4146 movement points to reach the wizards.

Hey guys!
I'm the author of this map.
Please don't post too many solutions. ))
I put a lot of thought into creating them.

I also updated the map to version 3.3.3 on
http://www.maps4heroes.com/heroes3/maps.php?keywords=Hazar&type=The+Shadow+of+Death&size=Extra+Large&difficulty=Impossible&sort=2

I'll probably update it to 3.4 soon.
So that players don't waste time leveling up Charon.

The same principle is used there as in the location before the anti-magic garrison with 8000 trolls.

I've already spoiled a bit in the thread, but I haven't revealed and won't reveal the solutions to the most difficult tasks here.
