Posts from The scenario “A Tear for Ossir”

I tried playing, but I keep getting defeated. While I'm clearing the upper level, a demon on a dinosaur appears from the teleporter, along with a bunch of hydras and dragons – all several levels stronger than me. I can't do anything.
What am I doing wrong? How can I win?

There are several possible reasons why you are not succeeding...
1. Are you defeating the neutral creatures without losses?
2. Are you capturing mines as quickly as possible?
3. Are you building structures every day?

If the answer to all of these is yes... Then I don't see any reason for your defeat..
If not, then improve your combat tactics...

How do you defeat them without any losses? For example, 50 archers – they won't even be reached by butterflies in one turn, and they'll destroy all my elves.
Besides, building on every step on the veteran difficulty isn't possible. There are too few!
Also, I don't encounter creatures from the Dark Elf faction, and I can't make them sworn enemies!!! What should I do? Maybe I'm going to the wrong places, maybe there's something I need to do to win, and I'm not doing it?

Try to capture the second Elven Castle as quickly as possible (it's near the gold mine – by the way, the creatures guarding the passage to it, which are level 6, often join you). Extra units (and resources) won't hurt.
Actually, once I got the hang of Heroes of Might and Magic V, I didn't wait for "the devil" to come; I always went there myself. The best defense is offense; he wasn't ready for my attack, and I was already here... delivering pizza to your door:smile51:.

This was my first playthrough of the fifth installment of Heroes of Might and Magic, and as far as I remember, the neutral creatures were scarier than the enemy units :D And even though the demons on dinosaurs had hydras and dragons, they somehow died quickly. The main thing is to quickly capture the mines and build up your defenses.

Try to capture the second Elven Castle as quickly as possible (the one next to the gold mine - by the way, the creatures guarding the passage to it are often level 6 and join you). Extra units (and resources) won't hurt.

Second!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: Where is it?!?!?

Second!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: And where is it?!?!?

The second Castle is located not far from the entrance to the Dungeon, where the demon riding a dinosaur appears, but slightly to the north.

Second!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: But where is he?!?!?

Lead the secondary hero along the path from the very beginning of the game; he will scout everything for you. The path leads exactly there. Yes, and don't forget to visit the signposts (the ones with the raven :D) with Ossir – extra experience + a path to that accursed Tear.

I'm stuck at the marker next to the stairs. The first time, I was told: "Move back 2 steps and start digging." I dug all around – nothing. The second time, at the same marker, I was told: "In the darkness of the dungeons, the fallen cannot see beyond their own nose." In the tavern, I was told that the Tear is in the Lava Fields. Where should I go after this marker? People, help!

I'm stuck at the marker next to the stairs. The first time, I was told: "move back 2 steps and start digging." I dug everywhere around – nothing.

This has already been discussed here... "move back 2 steps" means move back two markers... Remember the order in which you need to go and move forward...

I found a tear in the dungeon, near the crypt. It seems to be the 3rd marker from the beginning. Judging by the comments, the tear is located near some marker (for some, it's near the first castle, for others, it's in the dungeon). A universal approach is to dig near each marker, but first, eliminate all enemies, otherwise, it won't be as interesting.

It's already been mentioned here... "2 steps back" - meaning two indicators back... Remember the order in which you passed them and go forward...

I dug around the indicator in all directions, 2 steps, 3 steps, and 1 step... Maybe it's just a bug?

I dug around the marker in all directions, and 2 steps away, and 3 steps away, and 1 step away... Maybe it's just a bug?

There seems to be a complete misunderstanding here. :smile07: I'm saying "two steps back" means TWO MARKERS back, i.e., dig near the SECOND-TO-LAST marker. :smile14:

What's better to do first: attack the dark creatures or explore the Ashan lands?

I advise you to first capture two or three Dark faction castles, so you have somewhere to retreat to when you see Erin on the map (the strongest Dark hero on this map, always travels with a large and formidable army), while simultaneously building the first Elven town that you are given at the beginning of the game... And, of course, the more castles you have, the more money you'll earn.
Then, gather an army (preferably from all available Elven towns; if you don't care about morale, you can combine it with Dark faction troops if you have a large number of them)... Although, on this map, the army is only needed to defeat neutral creatures and fend off individual Dark heroes who will sometimes aggressively pursue you and try to take your towns... You should always have at least one town in reserve!
And then (or at the same time as all of this), quickly run around the map and look for the Tear.

The goal is to first eliminate all the Dark Elves on the map, and only then start searching; it's better not to do it the other way around, as you will waste a lot of time and effort; it's better to quickly run from one marker to another... The main thing, I repeat, is not to encounter Erin
