Posts from Necropolis – “Spider’s Trick” [Campaign 2 – Mission 4]

I can't enter the Spirit Gates to reach Uriel. I've completed all the quests, and the portal seems to be activated, but I can't enter. What's the problem?

Probably it’s some kind of personal bug you’re experiencing. I activated it. Afterwards, the pointer doesn’t lead directly to the portal itself. I moved the hero nearby, and he teleported. I’ve played through it twice, and both times it worked fine, with no problems.

Thank you, it worked.

I have a similar question; I can't get past the Spirit Gates either. However, the quest still shows the city of Ur-Shaks as unconquered. I think I've been to all the gates and captured everything I could, although I didn't collect the Moon Disc. What is this city of Ur-Shaks, and do I need to find it separately, or is there something else I need to do? Please help, if anyone knows.

I just finished the mission (it took me 5 months, but only because I explored the map extensively), and along the way, I completed the campaign. I'm extremely disappointed; everything is too easy (I played on the highest difficulty level) compared to, say, the second mission. Although, I probably made it easier because I initially changed Nastya to a War unit in the settings. I leveled up in Blood. My army dealt a lot of damage, especially the archers, and specifically the Bone Guard; they were the kings and gods. Paired with my favorite Vampires (for those who haven't figured it out yet, I explored the ENTIRE map with only one stack of Greater Vampires and one stack of Bone Guard, constantly replenishing them from the castles). I maxed out all the skills that could shoot and attack. My main movement skills on the map were Storm Arrows (used almost constantly), Drain, Mass Drain, Forward, and Push.
I also didn't like the final battle; it was boring and uninteresting. The Angel was weak; it couldn't even heal itself =/// Reinforcements only hindered the Angel because I used it to max out Necromancy with several castings, and then I used Mass Resurrect on my army, meaning all the boss's efforts went to waste.

I liked the overall plot. That's probably the biggest plus

I completed it on a difficult setting. I played as a Wizard. The best units are Liches and Spider Queens in ranged form; they deal the most damage. My tactic was as follows: first, go to the left, take the Fortress, destroy the Dungeon, and then proceed to the Castle on the surface. Take the Castle, build structures that slow down approaching enemies, and, of course, build portals. Next, destroy the Dungeon from above; I couldn't take the lower one without losses, so I teleported to the main Castle and pushed north. There, again, is a Fortress, a Castle in the Shio region, a Castle on top, and a Castle in the Shio region. Occasionally, a hero from the lower Dungeon would raid the westernmost Castle. Don't forget that we have a "slow" structure in our Castle. Wait for him to get closer, teleport to the Castle, kill him, and teleport back. Then, I collected the Tears of Ash (one piece above the western Castle, one on an island in the sea below it, one in the desert near the northern Castle, and one near the northern Fortress, i.e., all nearby). I built it, and after that, the most difficult part was taking the lower Castle in the Shio region, but even that can be done without losses if you try. With three Castles and the Tears, I think everyone can manage.

It went smoothly. I leveled up a lot. I took two castles at the top and three at the bottom without any reinforcements, using only what I had at the beginning. Summoning dark creatures, draining life, and sometimes mind control allow you to take almost any army with minimal losses. I played on normal difficulty. In general, it seems to me that Necropolis is a bit overpowered here, especially with the resurrection pillar. Guys, tell me, are there only four missions in the campaign? It seems a bit unclear.

Hey guys, can you give me some advice on how to defeat Uriel? Does his army keep growing, or can I wait and build up my own? I captured all the castles with minimal losses, went after Uriel, and only managed to reduce his health by half. At the same time, I didn't eliminate his army (the main thing is to kill only him, if I understand correctly?).

No, Uriel doesn't change over time. You can safely build up your army. Yes, there are four missions in campaigns 2-6.

Also, after completing the campaign, it seemed that Necropolis was a slightly overpowered faction. I leveled up Anastasia to the maximum, and after the second mission, she became very strong, and after the third, she turned into something like a tank with a lot of mana and powerful spells. In this mission, I actively used portals to catch enemy heroes during their raids, and I didn't have any particular problems.

Hello!

Could you tell me where the four pieces needed to assemble the Tear of Ashi are located? I've found three, searched the entire map, and killed all the neutral creatures, but I can't find the fourth one.

Could it be underground? Because I didn't bother fighting the neutral creatures underground and didn't pay attention to whether they were guarding anything. And after destroying the castles, the portals closed, of course.

Click on the arrow in the bottom left corner of the mini-map. All quest objects will be marked there, including the pieces of the Shanti-Iru Disc.

Thank you very much!

I capture 4 portals and one castle, and they all kill me. Can you advise what to do?:smile35:

You simply don't have enough of an army.

The different ways to complete it have been described many times; read this thread, as far as I remember. The main thing is to build the Altar of Eternal Enslavement and recruit the deceased there.
