Posts from Queen – “The Trap” [Campaign 1, Mission 4]

I'm replaying the campaign. The boots were in the crypt (the entrance to the dungeon is to the left of the castle), but now there's a cartographer instead. Is that normal, or am I mistaken?

In my opinion, the mapmaker is one thing, and the dungeon is another. Could you post a screenshot?

Yes, that would be great. Thank you in advance. But when I played it for the first time, there wasn't a map editor.

The cartographer is in the upper right corner of the dungeon (classic camera view), and the boots are in the upper left, near the castle.

:o Uh... I asked for your screenshot to see how the map editor ended up in the place of the Necropolis...:eek:

Sorry, my head isn't working properly this morning. I'll send it in the evening.

The mapmaker is in the upper right corner of the Dungeon (classic camera), and the boots are in the upper left, near the Castle.

In the Dungeon, which is located to the left of the Castle, there are Traveler's Boots, but there are no Boots of Levitation.
And there is no Crypt anywhere.:smile50:
This mapmaker is in the right Dungeon.

:smile32: There's no crypt anywhere. I just replayed it. I quickly got to the castle, then to the bridge, then to the prophet (or seer), and then immediately into the right dungeon - and there's the CARTOGRAPHER again!!!!! And there's no crypt anywhere:smile53:

There is no such crypt anywhere. I just replayed it. I quickly reached the castle, then the bridge, then the prophet (or seer), and then immediately went to the right dungeon - and there, again, is the CARTOGRAPHER!!!!! And there is no crypt anywhere.

What about the left dungeon?:confused:
Damn, I'll go load the save, if I have one, and look for the crypt...:smile04:

In the left dungeon, there's a tower with spirits, and no crypt. When I played for the first time, it was in the right dungeon. :smile07:

Capture the castle - go to the bridge - trigger the script - a little further down is the prophet - next to him is the entrance to the dungeon - inside, at the top, is a grave that needs to be searched - you'll get boots; it's best to approach with an empty boot slot, otherwise they might glitch and end up in your inventory in an invisible state (try right-clicking the slots in that case).
The map is classic, meaning you progress from bottom to top.

How I proceed: 1. I go to the castle. I capture it. A cutscene sends me to the bridge. 2. I go to the bridge. I am sent to the prophet. 3. The prophet sends me to get boots in the crypt. 4. I go to the dungeon (there is no crypt in either the left or the right one). Thanks, Alan, I'll try searching the graveyard today. Ah, but the crypt must be somewhere, right?

easy mission, no need to gather an army.
I gathered 40 archangels!

The Trap
Fourth mission.

Objectives:
1) Capture Lightwood (time is not a factor)
2) Build a guild of mages to level 3.
3) Meet the elven army.

Secondary objectives:
- Obtain the Boots of Levitation

Walkthrough:
Lightwood, as well as the bridge behind which the elven army awaits (it should be waiting), is shown to us immediately. Therefore, we don't wander around; we quickly jump, break through the infernal enemy heroes. Along the way, we replenish our army with various peasants... archers (there are towers), swordsmen... We arrive at the city and capture it. We start building it up gradually. At this time, Isabel wanders around the area and defeats weak monsters (those that don't fly, don't shoot, or can't reach us in one turn – imps/devils, dogs, demons, gargoyles, dancing with blades and death, skeletons, zombies, vampires... I'm tired of listing them...). The Seminary of the Path of Light is the guild of mages – we upgrade the building to level 3. After that, we head to the bridge, watch a cutscene about asking for advice from the blind brother (the prophet). The prophet's hut is right nearby – just a little south of the garrison. Not far from the hut is a passage to the Dungeon. If you haven't forgotten to build and have been killing various monsters without losses, your army should already be decent, and the heroine should be leveled up, so there shouldn't be any problems. We go into the Dungeon... I don't remember exactly where that crypt is, but just run around the entire Dungeon and you'll find it. There's nothing complicated there. We get the boots and go back up. Next, it's up to you – you can immediately run to the other side, or you can explore more, level up the hero, visit various upgrade locations – I ran around some more.
The passage to the other side is near the garrison; there is a descent to the water, and approximately opposite it on the other side of the river. We click on the opposite bank, and Isabel (assuming she has put on the boots) will find the way herself. If she reaches the river but doesn't go any further, and the turn is not yet over, it means she simply doesn't have enough movement points to jump across the river. We click "end turn" and go to the other side of the river again. The turn is complete; it's enough to cross. We run along the road on that side, watch the cutscene, and the mission is completed.

I need help. How do I equip the boots? I have the entire army, I built the city, and I found the boots. But I can't proceed. I'm standing in the water. Please help.

Right-click on the inventory, and in one of the empty slots, you'll find the boots; put them on. Or, better yet, before destroying the Necropolis, free up a slot for the boots, and they will automatically be equipped.
Good luck with the walkthrough.

There are no boots there... :-((((
Where are they?
Do I need to destroy the Necropolis?
If so, how?
