Posts from Stronghold – “Of Worms and Demons” [Campaign 6, Mission 4]

Wow, what a mission! And unlike the previous three, I actually enjoyed it. Here are a few tips for completing it: a) Don't rush Sandor south – there are strong demons there. First, clear the area around the city and build up your best creatures. b) Since KAMAZ starts in the sea, it's great for scouting. If you position it near the crystal mine and don't move away from it (without capturing the fort), you'll still receive income. c) After capturing the second city, try to capture the remaining cities as quickly as possible. One of them is in the center, and the other is in the northwest. d) Don't hesitate to spend crystals on closing portals! You definitely don't need an enemy at your back. The city at the beginning of the mission has a Capitol, so you can exchange crystals as much as you want. e) Don't rush to collect all 500 crystals. You might encounter problems with the boss of this mission. Clear the map, gather 200 cyclops, and then – go into battle! :smile19:

I collected 500 crystals, and now the next task is to kill a worm within 7 days? But where can I find it?

Click on the ruined city, and you will end up in the dungeon. Follow the road, and you will come out right next to the worm :).

Which ruined city are you talking about? In my game, only a mine collapsed, revealing crystals, but there are many crystals there, and it's a dead end.

Haruru. A video was supposed to be shown, and after that, the city would be destroyed, and a passage to the dungeon would open.

Oh... you're right, thanks. I was watching a football game while playing yesterday, so I missed the point of the video))))) Thank you so much!

I collected 547 crystals, but nothing happens. Nothing collapses, neither the mine nor the town. The quest doesn't change. For some reason, I still need to defend the town, but there's no one to defend it from. All towns and mines have been captured. How do I turn the crystals into the Tear of Ashi? The quest says to collect 500 crystals and turn them into the Tear of Ashi.

The refresh helped. Thank you for not responding.

problem with the worm
this pest doesn't want to swallow my units
and there's a separate bonus for destroying the worm before it digests the unit
I've replayed the last battle with the worm three times, and it just spits fire
how do I make it eat my unit?))))

Do you have single-celled units in your army? Try not to attack the worm when it has less than 25% health; it will become more active then.

yes
I did that in the last two playthroughs, even moving them away.
Probably the army is too large; I have 240 Cyclops.

When the worm has less than 25% health, it spits out the unit it swallowed and doesn't swallow any more (it used to be 1.2). You need to let it swallow a unit and then finish it off during your turn.

That's strange, mine didn't spit anything out. :)

Maybe it's too big. Try leaving just one small, single-layer stack.

Well, I’ve completed the last mission. It was quite interesting; I thought I’d be collecting crystals for half a year of gameplay, but it turned out to be much better. The worm didn’t impress me much. Perhaps, of all the boss battles, Uriel and the demon Azzi are the ones I remember the most.

I have a question: has anyone managed to complete the achievement "Caesarean Section"? In my game, the worm swallows a unit, spits it out on the next turn, and then doesn't swallow anyone else (I defended for 20-30 turns).
