Posts from Haven – "Everything is mixed up, truth and falsehood" [Campaign 3 – Mission 2]

Yeah, George, I’ve completely eliminated him a long time ago; now all my cities are on the surface. There’s a city underground, with Zenda and Yaved in it. They pose no danger at all, but I can’t reach them because the gates are closed. But I really want to defeat them too. Then my growth would increase, and the interval between turns would be 2 seconds. I could assemble an armada in an instant.

Added after 38 seconds
I’ll try to take a screenshot, thanks!

I finally finished it two days ago. )))
And the most surprising thing is that I did it without any of the problems I had before. I decided to focus on speed:
1. In the first week, I captured George's castle.
2. In the third week, I captured the nearest fortress and the lower-left castle (belonging to some baroness, I forgot her name) after her assistant attacked.
3. In the fourth week, I captured Gricek and his castle.
4. In the sixth week, in Gricek's castle, I repelled an attack from Cordelia from the upper-left castle and Edward, Igor's assistant, and in the seventh week, I captured Cordelia's castle.
5. I waited two weeks to gather a larger army, and in the tenth week, I captured Igor.
After defeating the Alliance of Moderation, no more problems arose on the map. The elementals and cyclops guarding the hidden house were defeated with almost no losses.

Here's my situation: the "Choice" and "Rebellion Alliance" quests have checkmarks next to them, meaning I've defeated all the barons and chosen the "path of tears."
I still have the "Mournful Song" quest – I need to find the artifact "mournful song" – and the "Unfinished Business" quest – I need to find the Hidden House.

Is the "Mournful Song" quest mandatory? (It's listed as a side quest and marked in blue). If so, where should I look for it? What is the Hidden House? There's a green Necropolis castle in the dungeon, but it's blocked by gates that are closed.
I'm waiting for an answer; I really want to continue playing, and I'm getting tired of wandering around this map.

Sweet Jane, it was mentioned above how to find the Hidden House. It is located in the upper left corner of the map; there is an entrance to a cave, which is initially guarded by air elementals and then by cyclops. Inside, you will need to pass the test of the Dragon Knights: fight all types of elementals and, for dessert, fight Cyril. After completing this task, the gates to the underground necromantic castle, where George is located, will open. "Sorrowful Song" is a weapon of the dynasty. It is located near Cordelia's castle; there is a place illuminated by bright light and guarded by a dozen celestial warriors. The quest "Find the Sorrowful Song" is a side quest; it is not necessary to complete it.

Hi everyone!
Guys, please help me!
I'm stuck on this mission, and I've already started it over 3 times, trying to capture everything as quickly as possible. I'm not a guru at this, just an amateur. :smile43:
So, how do I use the Resurrection Altar? Nothing appears there.
And where is the reinforcement skill? Is it in the skills menu, where the spellbook is?
And what did you upgrade for Anton? (a cry from the heart) ))))
Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place; I'm not very good at using forums yet. :smile39:

1. Never rush, everything has its time.
2. I recommend downloading the manual for this game.

I personally upgraded "Restoration" (in Earth magic). Then "Healing". In physical skills, "Counterattack". And something related to ranged attacks.

I'm playing on normal difficulty. I approach the Necropolis castle on day 3, but I can't seem to win. I have 70 Guardians, 45 Archers, 15 Adepts, 6 Griffins, and 15 Cavalry. The enemy has 45 Zombies, 64 Skeletons, 44 Ghosts, 12 Liches, 14 Vampires, and 10 Lamassu. No matter how hard I try, I get defeated. Out of frustration, I tried playing on auto-battle, and the result was the same. Maybe I'm rushing things, and I need to recruit more neutral units?

There seems to be a glitch with this mission. It's really hard to defeat 12 liches and 14 vampires, especially with acceptable losses. (And it says there are few lamassus, liches, and vampires!)
Also, because of this, you can create a pretty good stack of ghouls.
However, in my case, it coincided with the fact that I didn't like my priest's upgrade path, so I quickly replayed the first mission, which is easy. After replaying, the intelligence data already reflected the Necropolis's actual strength.
Try replaying the end of the first mission and then proceeding to the second mission again.

You can also buy an army at the Fortress, or minimize losses (i.e., only pick up the army).

He writes little because the Necromancer leaves part of his army in the Castle. To find out the actual army size, you can attack, but don't start the battle.

No :) There's only 1 hero sitting in the castle. And he's building his army. And there should be only a few vampires, liches, etc. - like 4-5 of each. In the first week. But there are more of them, about 3 times as many.
Overall, it's interesting, but quite difficult.

The struggles with this mission continue. I started over. I added an extra squad of guards and griffins, approached the necromancer's castle, and there was an army, twice as small as the first time. I captured it easily and discovered that there weren't enough resources to rebuild the castle. I started over, captured a gold mine and a quarry, and then approached the necromancer's castle. There was an army, just like the first time, but thanks to the additional units I had recruited, I was able to win. But the losses! I tried to load the save file from when I captured that castle without any losses. But in the first nine saves, it was the previous day, and only in the last one, two days earlier, so I couldn't find the save I needed. I started over again, and without capturing the mines, I easily captured the necromancer's castle again.

Hello to all heroes! Please help. I can’t complete this mission. Following the advice from the forum users, I rush to the castle with the ghost George on the first week, collecting neutral creatures, but he has a large army!!! (although it says the threat is low). Is this a bug? And is it worth spending a month gathering a larger army and then attacking? Thank you in advance for your help!!! :)

Did you capture the mines while running to the castle? How many neutral creatures did you recruit? Did you visit the dragon shrine before the battle?
