I have version 1.1. I freed all the garrisons and collected them – the checkbox is checked. I maxed out all three (and one extra) to level 24. I cleared them all, but the purple one keeps coming back... I've replayed it 4 times already... I've tried everything suggested here... NOTHING WORKS!
Maybe someone knows something else and isn't saying it?
Please help...

Do you already have a checkmark next to the quest to free Talanar and Dirael?

I don't know how it is in 1.1, but in 1.5, there should be about 10 dragons in the garrison of the main castle. I even reloaded the game when the mission ended too early because the number of dragons exceeded the limit. After that, I made sure it didn't happen again until I got the maximum out of the mission.

I don't know how it is in 1.1, but in 1.5, there should be about 10 dragons in the main castle's garrison. I even reloaded when the mission ended too early because of exceeding the number of dragons. Then I didn't allow this to happen again until I got the maximum out of the mission.

But for this person, the mission doesn't end. And the garrison is fine - she wrote that the checkbox is already checked. :smile21:
Here, it's most likely the old, good bug with hero-criminals. Earlier in the thread, someone already wrote that the checkbox usually doesn't appear for the "Free Talanar and Dirael" quest.
It's a bug.
The following trick helped me personally: hire any new hero in the castle. Apparently, after that, the computer "checks" the heroes and... joy!... discovers the liberated slackers. Voila - the checkbox appears, and the mission ends.
Well, this is just one option. :rolleyes:

Here, it's most likely the old, familiar bug with heroes who are essentially convicts. Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that the checkbox next to the "Free Talanar and Dirael" quest doesn't always appear.
It's a bug.
What helped me was this: hire any new hero in the castle. Apparently, after that, the game "checks" the heroes and... joy!... it discovers the freed slackers. Voila - the checkbox appears, and the quest is completed.
Just an option.:rolleyes:

I have a habit of quickly buying auxiliary heroes. It makes things easier. Maybe that's why the checkbox next to the "Free Talanar and Dirael" quest appeared immediately after I freed them. Or maybe it's because I was playing version 1.5.

Did you free them before you gathered a garrison? I only got to Dirael at the end of the mission.

I first built up a large army for Cyris-Tala! Then I captured the second Castle of the Sylvan faction. The next step was to liberate Talannar and capture the Necropolis. After that, I liberated Dirael. And the bug that prevents you from completing that mission occurs when you liberate Dirael before Talannar!

9 ДРАКОНОВ.
Асха - Порядок! Ургаш - Хаос! Силат - Воздух!
Шаласса - Вода! Аркат - Пламя! Силанна - Земля!
Сар-Илам - Дракон-Маг! Эльрат - Свет! Маласса - Тьма!

I always freed Talanar first, and the bug never disappeared.:smile51:

Did you free them before you gathered the garrison? I only managed to reach Direll at the end of the mission.

Yes. I captured the enemy castle, then freed the hero in the dungeon, and then the second one. During that time, I didn't have enough time to gather the required number of dragons in the castle. It just happened by chance. An un-upgraded hero in the castle suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the mission. Also, Faydaen took all the dragons with him on the first day. And Faydaen summoned reinforcements from the main castle several times, and the auxiliary heroes transported troops from the second castle there. I don't remember how many auxiliary heroes there were.

No, I don't. Although they are already freed!

Here's how the game progresses:
I capture Cyris-Talu, spend a week gathering strength, and defend. Then I buy a hero there, and with Faidaen, I go through the right pier (where the elves are) to the "M..." castle - I capture it, level up for another couple of weeks - there are quite strong garrisons ahead... Along the way, I gather a garrison - and the checkmark appears. And then I go for Talannar - I free him... on the way, I also beat up the blue one. I go through the factory to the Necromancer castle - since I have a summon, I fill it with units from the "M..." city - I defeat the necromancer, go to the Dungeon - I free Dirael....
And then... SILENCE...
I bought another hero in the Necromancer castle (an elven one, though), and no one recalculated anything!
And this CHECKMARK still hasn't appeared...
I've been playing like this for a year now... (in game time, of course))))
I replayed this mission as advised here - NOTHING.

Faydaen should go through the right pier

In the early patches, it's better to leave Faydaen on defense (and also in the later ones), and send other heroes to attack. This has been proven to cause fewer glitches. (Specifically, completing this mission without glitches in all patches). Also, when completing the quests, try to dismiss all secondary heroes after both quest heroes have been freed.

hello everyone...
a bit off-topic, but can anyone explain the phrase
dismiss all secondary heroes? I just don't understand
how to do it.
Is it done in the "building" where units are sold
or join for free? Or, if a hero has all seven slots
filled, and you want to replace weak peasants with dragons
(for example), but don't know how...
the game says: "creatures cannot join, your army
is fully staffed."

The game says: “Creatures cannot be recruited, your army is full.”

Open the hero screen, and click on the icon with the crossed-out face in the lower right corner. That’s how you dismiss them.
You can also do this by selecting the unit screen – accordingly, you will dismiss that unit.

Hello everyone! Thank you for your help! My bug was resolved as follows:
I went back to Faidaen, left the purchased hero in Cyris-Talle, captured Minsil, freed Talanar, captured the Necromancer Castle, freed Dirael...
Nothing happened until I bought another hero in CYRIS-TALLE. (before that, I bought heroes in the Necromancer Castle and Minsil - but nothing happened.)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN: to SlonyshU, 3DogMZA, and Alan for helping!

Hello everyone! Thank you for your help! My bug was resolved like this:
I went back as a Faith Defender, left a purchased hero in Cyris-Talle, captured Minsil, freed Talanar, captured the Necromancer's Castle, freed Dyraell...
Nothing happened until I bought another hero in CYRIS-TALLE. (before that, I bought heroes in the Necromancer's Castle and in Minsil - nothing happened.)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN: to SlonyshU, 3DogMZA, and Alan for helping!

Hmm, but I didn't really do anything.:o For me, the bug disappeared after buying a hero in Minsil... so I guess I was just lucky - I have a less buggy version.:rolleyes:
